Hypnosis and Pain Control

I recently attended a fascinating workshop in New York that focused on the uses of hypnosis and other alternative techniques for pain control...I brought back a lot of new knowledge as well as new techniques and tools and a reading list that shoud keep me up late for a long time to come.
The effectiveness of medical hypnosis and related techniques is truly amazing.
Considering that hypnosis was approved as a form of alternative therapy by both the British Medical Association and the American Medical Association way back in the 1950's has allowed a lot of time for evidence gathering to prove that this stuff works!

Some of the conditions that respond positively to hypnosis (read hypnosis, NLP, EFT etc.) are:

Chronic Pain
Pain during dental and surgical procedures
Headaches (including migrane)
Gastrointestinal problems including ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis and Crohn's disease
Skin disorders including burns, eczema and psoriasis
Nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy
Fibromyalgia
Pre and post operative pain
Asthma and allergies
Fear and anxiety surrounding interaction with medical professionals
