     Title: Surgeons should recommend Hypno-Anesthesia

Hypnos is useful for  pain control in surgery as well as blood pressure and allergy conditions, and an American professor in London suggests the British medical board update its standards to recommend hypnotherapy more often.

Nice (the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) already approves of hypnotherapy for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). 



A story in the Daily Telegraph  from June 7, 2009, quotes a prestigious American professor about his advice to the Royal Society of Medicine to approve hypnotherapy for pain.

David Spiegel, of Stanford University, told the London newspaper, "It is time for hypnosis to work its way into the mainstream of British medicine."

Spiegal noted that hypnotherapy can be used for conditions ranging from allergies and high blood pressure to the pain associated with cancer treatment and bone marrow transplantation.
