All of the participants in the study were required to use the CD daily as an adjunct to their weekly, in person, hypnosis sessions for the entire duration of the study. All of them requested to keep it, despite the fact that they can continue their personal sessions for as long as they wish at no cost to themselves.
Beyond my years as a therapist and my sometimes cavalier attitude as to the uses and effectiveness of hypnosis as a valid health enhancing therapy, I learned a lot from this study.
I learned about excruciating physical and emotional pain. I learned about hope. I learned about fear. I learned about faith and the strength of the human spirit. But mostly I learned about respect. Not only for the sufferers who took part in the study, but for every victim of cancer and also for those people from all of the caring professions who work day in and out to bring healing and comfort to the sufferers of cancer.
In my opinion this study has been a success beyond my expectations and I believe also beyond the expectations of the participants. In that regard I would like to thank them all and I would also like to thank my colleague Nathan Elliott, a Pharmacist also endowed with the knowledge and skills of hypnosis. Without his academic and professional expertise this trial would not have been possible, to that end I consider that this was our trial, not mine alone.
I would also like to extend thanks to everybody else who in their own ways helped to ensure that the trial made it to a successful conclusion. This includes the medical doctors and oncologists who had the open-mindedness to approve their patients into the trial.
In my final analysis if I were to be asked? Do you think hypnosis can cure cancer? I would have to answer, I don’t believe that anything can cure most cancers, but I do believe that cancer is sometimes created from within. That being the case, stress or emotionally inspired cancer will be very difficult to cure from without. Or I could take the cynical approach repeat a half truth that a colleague of says, which is “The Only Thing Mankind Ever Cured was Fish and Bacon, and Given The Right Tools The Body Cures Itself”.
I would strongly discourage any person from undertaking hypnosis for curative purposes without first consulting their medical doctor and also ensuring that the hypnotherapist has adequate knowledge and training in the use of hypnosis, and the specialist techniques required to work with pain management affect any valid improvement in health related conditions.
From a moral standpoint, and in a gesture of good faith to those who are genuinely ill and suffering the all too often resulting financial hardship.
