Well self-hypnosis worked

Post by Faram »

At least for me.

I had a toothache and a co worker told me to follow the steps from this page:

And now the ache is gone just a numb feeling :)

Mind I am still going to see a dentist but they didn’t have and free time until Friday, so this was an excellent alternative to painkillers.

How come that this works?

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. ... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus

Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods. -Lucretius

Pain is in the mind, Grasshopper. Embrace the pain, be One with it. 8)

[EDIT] Sorry. Best guess, by hynotising yourself you 'fool' yourself into ignoring the pain. As you say, it was numb rather than painful - that means (I think) the signal still goes to the brain, but the brain just doesn't want to hear it.

Looks like a bit of quackery, but I'll look into it. My dad is an anesthesiologist, so he should know more of this than I :D
