A hypnotherapist from the UK underwent a surgery to pull a chunk of bone from his wrist. "So what", you say? He did it without any anaesthesia!!! Ouch!!! He put himself into a trance, what he calls Hypnoanaesthesia.
I'm sorry, but that was brave. I couldn't imagine doing it...give me the drugs! Apparently, this practice has been successful with other procedures, including childbirth and heart surgery. The catch is, you have to believe in the techique for it to work on you. That's a scary thought!
