Fear of Public speaking - Cured with hypnotherapy in 2 Hours
A new bioinformatics paradigm for the theory, research, and practice of therapeutic hypnosis.
In a 2008 pilot study we used DNA microarrays to explore the historical ideo-plastic faculty of therapeutic hypnosis. We documented how to measure changes in activity or experience-dependent gene expression over relatively brief time periods (1 hour and 24 hours) following a single intervention of therapeutic hypnosis (about 1 hour). In the present paper we utilize bioinformatic software to explore the possible meaning and significance of this ideo-plastic faculty of therapeutic hypnosis. Indications suggest that the ideo-plastic process of therapeutic hypnosis may be associated with (1) the heightening of a molecular-genomic signature for the up-regulation (heightened activity) of genes characteristic of stem cell growth, (2) a reduction in cellular oxidative stress, and (3) a reduction in chronic inflammation. We identify these three empirical associations as an initial beta version of the molecular-genomic signature of the ideo-plastic process of therapeutic hypnosis, which can serve as a theoretical and practical guide for clinical excellence by beginners as well as senior professionals. We propose this molecular-genomic level of discourse as a supplement to the traditional cognitive-behavioral description of therapeutic suggestion, hypnosis, and psychotherapy that is consistent with "translational research" currently funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Good stress puts wind in our sails. It makes things happen. However, when we fail to balance our lives, excessive negative stress can make our existence a living hell. When we lack confidence that we can handle a situation our brain and body go into a defensive, fight-flight reaction. The major organs of our body cease to function adequately and our immune system becomes suppressed. When stress never lets up, this chronic condition can make do more than ruin our happiness and relationships. It can also destroy our health.

Fears and anxieties occur predominantly because the brain has either trigger an unresolved problem solving process due to overactive simulation and anticipation or as the result of a reaction triggered within the hypocampus. In the first situation, the brain should stop the process as soon as the brain’s pattern matching capability or creativity has found a solution. When this happens, the basil ganglia releases a small amount of dopamine, which effectively acts as an off switch. If this sequence does not work, a person may suffer from a wide range of mental health concerns such as phobias,...
Even though the word alcohol actually means a specific type of chemical compound, for the purpose of this article I'm referring to alcohol as a drink with intoxicating effects. And, as with any other ingested chemical that has intoxicating effects, with very little repetition its use can be significantly addicting. Furthermore, the physiological dependence that is created over time will result in dire withdrawal symptoms once the alcohol abuser attempts to completely quit.
Like many other addictions, the repeated use of alcohol was probably started in a social situation. A person may have...
