"Can Hypnotherapy work effectively for curing
schizophrenia?"
Working in
conjunction with the patient's medical practitioner, a Clinical
Hypnotherapist (Clinical Consulting Hypnotist) can help
with some of the issues. A medical referral is essential in
such cases.
The patient can be assisted with
many things:
- Resolving issues with family,
friends, colleagues
- Regaining or increasing
confidence
- Sleep improvement
- Stress relief and management
- Anger management
- Emotions and Pain
- Self-esteem
- Determination
- Goals
- Hobbies
and leisure activities
- Past
successes and future planning; etc.
- Positive Outllook
- "Parts" therapy and "energy"
based therapies are also useful to heal some of the
issues.

Hypnosis for schizophrenia
A report by Izquierdo de Santiago A, Khan M. Hypnosis for
schizophrenia. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2004,

"Many people with schizophrenia continue to experience
symptoms despite the use of conventional treatments. Alternative
therapies such as hypnosis, in conjunction with
conventional treatments, may prove beneficial to them.
...
Hypnosis is a "procedure during which a health professional
or researcher suggests that a client, patient or subject
experience changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts or
behaviour". Hypnosis is used by some healthcare
professionals to improve symptoms for people with
schizophrenia ..."
"While there is still no known cure for this severe mental
illness, new medications can help alleviate many of the
disease's severe symptoms with fewer side effects ..."
National Women's Health Resource Center
The Poisoning of America, The Truth Behind Obesity In Our
Country, By Gerald Kein, Omni Hypnosis Training Center:
"Back in the late 1800's Dr. Tinera discovered that if you
remove sugar from the diet many so called mental illnesses
just seem to disappear. Also, sugar seems to be the leading
cause of schizophrenia. Dr. John Tinera and many others
since, have stated that no one again, no one should ever
undergo any type of psychotherapy without first having a
five hour blood glucose test!! He has shown that many mental
and physical illnesses are cured by the elimination of sugar
from the patients diet."
Of course, whatever you do, always
consult your medical practitioner FIRST as only he or
she is fully aware about your medical conditions.
