I am speaking about becoming conscious when something isn't running correctly and being able to consciously do something about it. - > It may not be about forgetfulness it may be more about awareness and the need to develop our ability to recognize the connection between the body and the mind in order to enhance the health of both. - True fact: Hypnosis can be used to get rid of warts, but more interestingly, the hypnotist can direct his subject to lose them on the right or left side and they will disappear only on the side designated. Warts are due to a virus, and a dermatologist, in his training, proved it by innoculating volunteer prisoners in jail with ground up wart material. He was a friend of mine years ago. - The mind is a very powerful influence on our health. Placebos work all the time. I know because I used the effect when needed. I once had a patient whom I thought was mildly addicted to pain shots. In the hospital, at the time, we gave her placebos, which worked completely. I did this to convince her to get into addiction therapy. She did, but fired me for the deception. I didn't care. I'd helped someone who needed help and I could find no other way to convince her.
