But I just finished a fairly extensive review of the literature, and the proof does happen to be in the pudding. [I get good results with my own cancer patients, as well, but nothing's double-blinded there, so I won't pass that on.] The scientific literature is rife with studies that prove hypnosis can help cancer-related pain and nausea, improve anxiety and depression, and help sleep. There are even some wilder claims, but I won’t try to sell those to you! If you’re interested in a survey of the lit, take a look at the post I did on the topic at http://wp.me/p22afJ-Hl. Just try to keep your mind open–and see what you think. Best regards.
