Hypnosis Good for Health
The flu is expected to reach more people this year
compared to the average flu season. There are many uncertainties this
year due to the H1N1 influenza virus. The Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) says that the H1N1 virus has caused the first pandemic (global
outbreak) of influenza in 40 years. The World Health Organization (WHO)
believes that H1N1 is going to cause more people to get sick, more
hospitalizations, and more deaths than the average flu season. Research
has shown that hypnosis can improve the immune system and improve the body`s functioning.
According to the CDC, timing is uncertain. In past flu seasons, the outbreak has reached its peak in the months of January and February in the United States. However, the H1N1
virus caused sickness, hospitalizations, and death during the summer
months, which is highly unusual. It is not known when the virus will
reach its peak and how long it will last. Due to this uncertainty,
people must be proactive about building their immune system to combat the flu.
Research performed at Washington State University in Pullman found that hypnosis strengthens two different types of immune cells that fight off disease. Sixty-five students participated in the study. Thirty-three participants were highly hypnotizable and responded well to hypnotherapy induction. Thirty-two participants had difficulty achieving a hypnotic state.
All 65 participants were randomly assigned into 3 separate groups. One group received hypnosis, one group received relaxation therapy, and one group served as the control group and received no form
of therapy or treatment. Results showed that the participants who
received hypnosis displayed a jump in 2 important types of white blood
cells. Those who were highly hypnotizable and received hypnosis showed
the greatest increase. This shows that hypnosis can help people boost
their white blood cell count and thus boost their immune system and
better enable themselves to fight off disease (Ruzyla-Smith).
Researchers
from Ohio State University have determined that hypnotherapy can
prevent the immune system from weakening due to stress. Hypnosis helps
strengthen the immune system through relaxation. For people who worry a
lot, are anxious, or are easily distracted, hypnosis helps them calm
down so that their immune system does not weaken due to the stress.
When hypnosis is induced in a person, relaxation techniques
are used. Stress is a main contributor to a weakened immune system.
Hypnosis acts to increase positive thinking through suggestion while
using relaxation techniques to decrease stress (Holland).
It is
important to keep your immune system strong so that you are able to
fight off disease and viruses. Using hypnosis and eating healthy foods
can help you keep your immune system strong through this pandemic reducing stress and increasing your white blood cells can greatly increase your odds of not getting the flu this season.
