“Although humans make sounds with their mouths and occasionally look at each other, there is no solid evidence that they actually communicate among themselves”
DISCLOSURE I have no financial relationships to disclose and will not discuss off label use and/or investigational use of drugs or procedures in this presentation. As I get older and more mellow; I am less ashamed of my past and more accepting of others. Your way of looking at allopathic medicine will change today

Metanoia May refer to: Theology: a repentance Rhetoric: a correction Psychology: the process of experiencing a "break down" and subsequent, positive re-building or "healing” Medical: a new way to see the same old disease
What is Hypnosis? It is a tool to add to your practice. Hypnosis is a social interaction in which one person responds to suggestions given by another person (the hypnotist) for imaginative experiences involving changes in perception, memory, and the voluntary control of action using trance.

The Ability to be Hypnotized Varies with Age Very young children relatively unresponsive to hypnosis Hypnotizabilityreaches a peak at the onset of adolescence Hypnotizabilityassessed in college students remains about as stable as IQ over a period of 25 years

PET Scan of 11 volunteers. Scans while stimulated with hot noxious stimuli to right thumb with and without hypnosis. Hypnosis decreased both pain sensation and the unpleasantness of noxious stimuli. Noxious stimuli caused an increase in blood flow in thalamic nuclei and anterior cingulate cortex. The hypnotic state induced a significant activation of the anterior cingulate cortex.

Functional MRI Scan Clinical hypnosis may prevent nociceptive inputs from reaching the higher cortical structures responsible for pain perception. The effects of hypnosis can be explained by increased activation of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the basal ganglia.

Functional MRI data revealed that under posthypnotic suggestion, both ACC and visual areas presented reduced activity in highly hypnotizable persons compared with either no-suggestion or less-hypnotizable controls. Raz'sneuroimaging findings show that a specific brain area which regulates automatic processes, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), "lights up" when individuals perform the Stroop task without suggestion. However, the ACC tends to turn off when highly hypnotizable individuals perform the task under the suggestion that these English words should be perceived as gibberish.
