Self Hypnosis for pain

As I see it, you do one of two things: You build health or you produce disease in yourself

(bbc news) July 7, 2008 Patient undergoes arthroscopic knee surgery without anesthesia

Self-hypnosis patient undergoes op
9 hours ago
A pensioner who went under the surgeon's knife using self-hypnosis as her only pain relief insisted she was not brave.
Bernadine Coady, 67, of March, Cambridgeshire, underwent a one-hour knee operation at the private Orthopaedics and Spine Specialist Hospital, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
She allowed television crews to film the surgery, performed by Ahmed Shair.
Afterwards, in an interview with the BBC, she described the procedure as "absolutely wonderful" and said she only felt "tugging and pulling".
"It wasn't painful," she said. "I just feel the tugging."
She added: "It's not bravery. Anyone can do it if you could just train your mind. It's all in there."
A hospital spokeswoman said the exploratory operation, aimed at curing Ms Coady's knee pain, was the third time she had been under the surgeon's knife without painkillers.
"The first two were for foot problems," she said. "She has known Mr Shair for a long time and she came with the express wish that she wanted to be operated on using self hypnosis. She has gone home looking very happy so I presume it was a success."
The spokeswoman added: "Ms Coady is the only patient we've operated on in this way. If anyone else wanted to come along and have the procedure we would look at it on an individual basis."

Now that is a powerful mind
If Ms. Coady can have surgery (cutting and sawing) on her body surely we
can use mind techniques to improve our daily health.........
The Mind is Super Powerful>>>>I think we can manage many our pains/health
concerns with meditation and you might check into "Self-Hypnosis"
