Hypnosis for Fertility and Infertility
Hypnosis Works!!
Studies have indicated the “infertile” women utilizing mind/body techniques have a 42-55% conception rate as compared to 20% for those not following this protocol.
A 1992 study found that women who participated in mind body therapy experienced a 34% conception rate compared to 20% with in vitro fertilization alone. Decreased levels of depression, anxiety and anger were also noticed.
Another study showed the efficacy of hypnotherapy as compared to psychoanalysis and behaviour therapy. After 600 sessions of psychoanalysis, 38% of patients reported recovery from their conditions; those receiving behaviour therapy improved in 72% of all cases after 22 sessions, while hypnotherapy produced a 93% success rate after only six sessions.
A study by John Gruzelier, Professor of Psychology at Imperial College School of Medicine, revealed that self-hypnosis could strengthen the immune system by 48% in six weeks.
Two studies conducted by Alice Domar, PhD, showed the efficacy of mind/body techniques in removing unresolved issues about having a baby. In the first study, published in 1999 (Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association), 42% of 132 infertile women participated in a mind/body program conceived within six months of completing it. In the second study, published in 2000 (Fertility and Sterility), 55% of the previously infertile women who met regularly conceived, compared with 20% of the control group who used no mind/body techniques.
A 2004 Israeli study conducted by Professor Eliahu Levitas showed the hypnosis can double the success rate of IVF and was presented in July 2004 to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology Conference in Berlin and is soon to be published in an American medical journal.
