Hypnosis for Autoimmune Disease

The National Institutes of Health estimates up to 23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disease. Autoimmune Disease, (also known as Dysautonomia) is a term referring to the malfunctioning of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls all of the things our body does automatically. This includes things like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, healing, and all the things we couldn’t possibly do consciously.

This also includes vital systems such as the Immune System, Endocrine System, Digestive System and Nervous System. When all of these systems are functioning properly, we are in good health. However, if even one of them malfunctions, it can affect all of the other systems. Consequently, this can result in some very serious medical conditions.

Potential Illnesses

There are 80-150 moderate to severe conditions that can be classified as Autoimmune Disease. Some of the most common are:

Fibromyalgia (see symptoms)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Arthritis (Both Inflammatory and Rheumatoid)
Lupus
Type 1 Diabetes
Hypertension
Addison’s Disease (Adrenal Insufficiency)
Hashimoto’s Disease (Chronic Thyroiditis)

The main malfunction in all such diseases is that of the Immune System. It confuses healthy cells with germs, viruses and mutant cells within the body, and begins to attack them. In other words, the body’s defense system is attacking the body itself. It is literally “self-destructing”. Since the body’s primary defense system is the Immune System, the body is completely defenseless when this happens. It’s like the U.S. Military attacking the continental United States… the very territory it’s supposed to protect!

hypnosis for Autoimmune Disease – retrain the immune system

Although most autoimmune diseases are deemed “incurable” with standard medical procedures, they can be effectively treated with Hypnosis. The autonomic nervous system is controlled by the sub-conscious mind. Consequently, hypnotherapy is the ideal method for treating autoimmune diseases because it works directly with the subconscious mind. And like one of my mentors taught me, “Anything the mind has caused, the mind can cure.”

The objective is to teach the Immune System to stop attacking healthy cells and systems – and to return to protecting them. This may sound impossible, but it is very do-able. With the use of some highly specialized procedures, the immune system CAN be retrained. It CAN learn to stop attacking healthy cells, and to mend the damage it created.

The short video below confirms the information above. Although the speaker is a bit on the “dry” side, his message is accurate. With the use of hypnosis and “guided imagery” the immune system CAN be re-educated to function properly.
