Power of suggestion plays an important role. During a tuberculin skin test injection. the subject was told one of the in- jections was water. No response developed from the so-called "water" in- jection while the other hand had an allergic reaction. Dr. Bowers says. Fourteen people suf- fering from warts were used in another experi- ment. It was "suggested" to them that the warts on one side of their body would disappear. In the majority of cases, the skin area did clear. In another case, a 14- year-old boy suffered from Hypnosis can have dif- ferent effects on various body parts. Temperature differences have been recorded in both hands. In one case, a subject had one arm anaesthetized. then both arms were burnt with a hot bar. The anaesthetiz- ed arm developed a scar the size of the bar while the scar on the untouched arm covered three times the burn area. The Sweet Adelines presented a cheque for $400 recently to the K-W Rotary Centre to buy a Subjects claim they find hypnosis "gives them ut- ter relaxation, a chance to calm down temporarily or even for the rest of the day." These relaxation proper- ties can be so intense that hemophiliacs have been known to have teeth ek- tracted without requiring a transfusion. But there's no doubt its successes have been many since first investi- gated in 1784. Hypnosis has been used since 1956 for successful removal of warts, Dr. Bowers said. And asth- matics have been treated by suggestion since 1975; . "People are very scep- tical when it comes to hyp- nosis," says Dr. Kenneth Bowers. "The feeling is that great effects must have great causes. They find it hard to believe that mere words can eliminate pain, cure disorders and in- crease memory. " By Marg Russell Hypnosis is nott just a bunch of 'hodge-podge' says a professor in psychology at the University of Water- loo. But the secret lies in the ability of the receiver to be hypnotized.

Many variations have been found in the study. "It's disturbing for a person to be out of control for several minutes and have no memory of his action," he says. "Also, if the subject is conscious of what he's doing, he might feel he shouldn't be doing it, such as touching his nose, so he doesn't do the act. The subjects are new tape system for the centre. The presentation was made at a meeting of the Waterloo Rotary Club. a post-hypnotic condition. 12 suggestions such as touching their nose with their left hand, or doing two things at once, are made. Janet did not so much hypnotize subjects as he did engage their attention. says Dr. Bowers. Hypnosis was used on hysteric pa- tients having A good capac- ity to disassociate. Dr. Bowers hypnotizes subjects in groups to select those likely to be suscept- ible to post-hypnotic sug- gestions. Then later, in Janet stood behind his subjects, whispering sug- gestions in their ear without attracting their attention while they read a book or talked to some- one. When he stood in front oi the subjects, they re- sisted his suggestions. 1880 to 1920. His theory was the subject must avoid 'conscious willfulness' and must not try to do any- thing. Is a psychic "actor res- ponsible for such con- ditions as warts in the first place? Not so, says Dr. Bowers. "Are head- aches caused by a lack of aspirin?" he replies. Pierre Janet, a French psychopathologist, did in- tensive research in hyp- nosis during the period With more hypnotic suggestion, the rest of his body cleared except for the soles of the feet and palms of his hands. Four years later, these too had almost cleared without further treatment.

Emergency Road service in Canada and USA Travellers Cheques Women tend to be more susceptible to hypnosis than men, according to Dr. Bowers. "The ability lies in the subject rather than with the power of the hypnotist," he says. "The subject must be willing to be hypnotized or he can 'turn himself off' to sug- gestions" usually very surprised at the end and wonder how it was possible. " Dr. Bowers' study is an attempt to discover how beneficial hypnosis really is, what percentage of cases it" works with and if there is anything special about these people. "We're doting research on the theoretical implica- tions," he says. "You get a lot of grandiose claims." Dr, Bowers became inter- ested in hypnosis years ago while studying problems in the awareness of learning. . J"__'_'__Dv--“ fixed Income, every penny counts. . We hayea plan just for you.
