Hypnosis for Lyme Disease

Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type. The most common sign of infection is an expanding area of redness that begins at the site of a tick bite about a week after it has occurred. If you have been diagnosed with Lyme disease or think that you may have Lyme disease, be sure that you are working with your medical doctor and other health care professionals.

Studies show that using hypnosis and imagery to therapeutically influence the immune system can be a powerful adjunct to medical care. Other studies present evidence for the importance of suggestion and hypnotic ability in the healing or amelioration of various somatic disorders. It is argued that even in some treatment interventions that are not explicitly hypnotic, suggestion and hypnotic ability may be hidden factors that help to promote successful healing. (1)

Other studies have found that hypnosis and other mindfulness techniques can reduce the severity of autoimmune disease possibly  by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. (2)

Over the past twenty years as a Healthcare Support Hypnotherapist, I have taught medical self-hypnosis to people living with Lyme disease. The feedback from these people is that there has been a dramatic reduction in symptoms and in some cases, they have become symptom free.

I cannot and do not promise what your results will be. My experience is that people who actively participate in sessions with me and listen to my hypnosis MP3 downloads achieve beneficial results.
