Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to support and promote the further worldwide integration of comprehensive evidence-based research and clinical hypnotherapy with mainstream mental health, medicine, and coaching. We do so by disseminating, supporting, and conducting research, providing professional level education, advocating increased level of practitioner competency, and supporting the viability and success of clinical practitioners. Although currently over 80% of our membership is comprised of mental health practitioners, we fully recognize the role, support, involvement, and needs of those in the medical and coaching fields. This site is not intended as a source of medical or psychological advice. Tim Brunson, PhD

Allergies, Autoimmune Disorders and Hypnosis



by Tim Brunson PhD

Integrative medical interventions intended to address allergies and other autoimmune disorders usually fail to adequately address the nature of the human immune system. The body's homeostatic balance should assume that our immune system can properly identify times when a foreign body is a threat and when it is not. However, to fully understand its true nature and how integrative interventions may apply, the clinician must realize its duality.

Comments
Denise's Gravatar I wasn't sure that the article truly conveyed the differnce between over
and under activity of the immune system.
For clients with cancer and infection type problems the goal is to increase the activity of the immune
system so that it can recongize and eliminate errant cells, bacteria,
viruses, etc.
In autoimmune disorders such as those listed in the article the key is to
quiet the over responsive immune system which is attacking the clients
own tissues.
The practitioner must know this in order to work toward the desired
physiologic change.
