Hypnosis, Anyone?

Interesting experience today, I met a hypnotist at the Chamber of Commerce. He and I are both new to this organization. We spoke a bit about medical issues, my opinion that the Medicare Drug Plan is really a planned event to force people with limited resources to choose between medication and food.


This choice isn't new, but now it's reached it's tentacles farther into the society of our elders. I could be paranoid about this issue. After experiencing first hand how it works (fails to work) I'm beginning to think it's a planned event to ease the burden on the system.


The young man I was speaking with is a hypnotist. We talked about the power of the mind to heal the body, it's power to maintain health instead of illness, it's power to avoid illness and disease simply by the state of attitude of the individual.


The more I study this issue, the more I believe it to be true, we can control our health, with our minds. Perhaps there are diseases that overcome the power of the mind. Perhaps not. I choose to believe the mind can cure the body of most if not all illness.
