I saw the item about AIDS!

Some time ago, I was thinking of maybe going to her church services or her spiritual salons or other events so I dug around for something I could go to for free and that was, as you know, nothing.

Except the Montel tapings and the stuff for people with AIDS. :mad:
 
From what I recall, the Right Rev. Cardinal Member of the Board Darren English wasn't practicing hypnosis in 2002, and really didn't get into hypnosis until sometime in 2005.

I know I asked this a few months back, but how many times in one year can you have a "Grand Opening."
 
after reading the SBHTC thing, i decided that starting next month, every month on the 16th I will celebrate my birthday.

Please don't forget birthday gifts, I get easily offended by people who forget to give them to me.

P.S.
I prefer jewelry, daimonds are always welcome.
 
Looking back over this thread; a cancer cure for only $25 dollars?

RSL - I know you are a busy guy, but this has all the markings as a HEADLINE story for your site.

Questioninggeller - Anything else wrt your 28 MAY post on the cure for AIDS?

Off the topic, but....wonder what Montel thinks on this; after all he has MS...I don't see where this "self healing" crap has helped him any....

I don't follow you. What "cure for cancer for $25"?

Maybe I need some caffeine, but I don't see that in the thread.
 
RSL - Maybe I'm reading Questioninggeller's 28 MAY 07 post wrong; from that post:

Though I don't know if that link is still valid; I'm at work and would be best if I not visit NOVUS :)

If I have the wrong take on this, let me know.....
 
Ah, that.

It mentions neither "cancer" nor "cure."

It mentions HIV/AIDS, and some vague talk about "healing."

It is on my list of things to look into, though.

Well now don't I feel like a complete idiot *lol*; strike "cancer" and insert "AIDS" - totally NO IDEA how I got that mixed up; not like its not there in plain text.

My (hopefully) temporary lunacy aside...I'd equate "self healing" with cure, though that may be to literal a correlation.

I think I'll enroll in a local "Reading Comprehension for idiots" class :)
 
Now the http://www.sylviabrownehypnosis.com/ website is dead and has a bunch of random ads on it.

However on her main website:

Our next Hypnosis Training Class is scheduled for

Monday January 14- Wednesday January 23, 2008 Registration Fee: $2000

An interesting claim on the website is:

World Renowned Psychic, Spiritual Teacher and pioneer in the art of Hypnosis, Sylvia Browne has been using Hypnosis as spiritual tool to help people heal for over 45 years.

Anyone have any documentation of Browne conducting hypnosis?
 
At one time Sylvia did conduct past life regressions. Not sure when she stopped doing them herself. Now they are done by the ministers who are trained in hypnosis.
 
High five, Minarvia.

I don't get why physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, teachers, physical therapists and other educated people who should know better steer their patients to parlor games.

The only explanation I can think of is that psychologists feed on their patient's superstitions to get information out of them, the same reason why they sometimes practise cold reading.

It's because hypnosis is not completely bunk. It can be used to control pain. Unfortunately it can also be used to implant suggestions and generally mess with a person's mind as well, if it's used improperly. I suggest cutting out the middle man and using self-hypnosis for safety reasons. Nobody can muck around in your mind if you're doing it yourself.

In addition, I learned about self-hypnosis for free. It kind of pisses me off that people like Sylvia Browne have hijacked hypnosis and are making claims about things that hypnosis can't possibly hope to accomplish. Nobody is ever "cured" through hypnosis. At best it can make people more comfortable.
 
I just googled
hypnosis "pain relief"
and got heaps of answers. You can work out if any of the answers meant your standard of proof.

There is no such thing as Scientific proof.

Also Mythbusters tried to control a person using hypnosis. They failed. I do agree there is a load of nonsense related to hypnosis.

If you define hypnosis very broadly as "a focused state of concentration" it may be helpful in conjunction with therapy. But it is called hypnotherapy with effects no different than massages, relaxation training, or types of physical therapy. From what I gather it gets the person to focus on something else.

The methodology and purpose of hypnotherapy is much different than hypnosis discussed here by Browne.

There is no such thing as Scientific proof.

Scientific proof, that is evidence aquired through the scientific method, including double-blinded tests and statistical analyses, can confirm medicines and activities that heal. That is how we know the difference between medicine and quackery.

What tests have shown the reliablity of hypnosis for, to quote Browne from above, "healing the body"?
