Hypnosis vs. Anesthesia
FEEL BETTER, NATURALLY
Thanks to a history of bad reactions, Louanne Weston was willing to do almost anything to avoid anesthesia. So when her doctor advised surgery to remove uterine fibroids that were causing cramps and heavy bleeding, Weston went looking for an anesthesia alternative. She found hypnosis -- and her doctor agreed to give it a try.

Well, if it works, I guess its a go. I am not a big advocate of hypnosis as a therapy, but distracting your mind, being able to separate yourself from the pain in your body is really quit amazing. It makes sense because your not deadening the pain, your simply blocking it from your conscious mind, or removing yourself from your own consciousness. Either way, it seems like it would work in theory. The site has some other good cures like fish oil for cramps, gum for heart burn, and music for body aches.
I cannot see how anyone can be so hypnotized as to endure such pain - I think it may take a special person to accomplish this, BUT since this takes awhile and is not as fast as Anesthesia I think no one will go for being Hypnotized as an alternative.
