Well to anyone questioning whether hypnotherapy is effective or not i see it like this: A real doctor probably wouldn't recommend it, hence perhaps you should listen to a medical professional instead of an organization that issues licenses to cats. And yes, "Alternative" medicine is a joke, much like davymid said the stuff that does work is what we call regular old medicine. Most of the other stuff is just idiots selling you dreams, and with any luck perhaps some placebo effect. |

Very true, davymid. Or as Richard Dawkins said, "There is no alternative medicine. There is only medicine that works and medicine that doesn't work." |

The point, simbha, is that if a (clearly unqualified) feline can gain accreditation, then so can equally unqualified humans. And even if hypnotherapy were proven effective, therapy conducted by an unqualified person (or cat) probably wouldn't work. So the laxity of requirements decreases the likelihood of success for a person seeking treatment. |

How do lax registration requirements demonstrate the ineffectiveness of hypnotherapy? Not saying it works, but this isn't evidence to the contrary. |

Davymid, would that be Dara O'Briain? He's hilarious. And I think the whole hypontism stuff is just bullcrap as can be clearly seen in this article. |

As an Irish comedian once said: "You know what? These 'Alternative Medicines' have been around for centuries. And you know what else? We've tested them. And the ones that work, we now call 'Medicine'. And the rest, let's face it, are just crap". |
