The Good and Bad of Chemo - What You Need to Know

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Do you feel like the chemotherapy side effects are worse than the cancer itself? Do you experience nausea much of the day?

Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medicines that can cause intense side effects. If you are going through chemotherapy and have discussed the possible side effects with your doctor, hypnosis is a great tool to use to help you better handle those side effects.

While nausea and other side effects certainly have a physical component, what you expect also has a huge impact on the intensity of those side effects.

Cancer cells grow quickly, and chemotherapy drugs are designed to kill quickly. However, just as chemotherapy drugs can wipe out and damage cancerous cells, they can also damage healthy cells. The damage to those healthy cells often causes intense side-effects.

Using hypnosis, you can fight those cancer cells every step of the way as you enhance your body's natural ability to heal.

Chemotherapy can be devastating because it can literally sap your body of precious resources, leaving you feeling horrible. However, you can lessen the side-effects using the power of your own amazing mind.

Not everyone gets the same chemotherapy drugs, and not everyone gets sick from them. While some people may experience minimal side-effects, others may get the full gamut of side-effects.

Using hypnosis you can attack the side-effects on multiple levels from the anticipation of nausea to the triggers that tend to set it off. The fact is that your brain controls things like nausea and vomiting through the autonomic functions, so you can use your brain to control side-effects in a healthier manner.

With hypnosis, you can calm the typical responses you might experience while going through something like chemotherapy. You could even use hypnosis or meditation while undergoing chemotherapy treatment, which can help provide a buffer.

Hypnosis has even been utilized as anesthesia, completely eliminating the pain of surgery. In one study done with breast biopsy patients, those who used hypnosis had significantly less post-biopsy pain, and hypnosis was even used as far back as 1829 during a mastectomy and axillary node dissection. If hypnosis can act as an anesthesia - it can certainly help you combat the negative side-effects of chemotherapy.

The power of the mind can be used to fight disease just as it can be used to fight side-effects. Research has shown that those who use positive words, prayers or affirmations have a much greater chance of fighting disease, than those who tend to focus on the negative aspect of things.

This process is demonstrated exquisitely in Dr. Masaru Emoto's book - The Hidden Messages in Water when it was shown that when people prayed or used positive words that the crystals in water responded by forming beautiful symmetrical shapes.

It just makes sense to think that this same effect can be demonstrated in the human body since the human body is over 60% water.

In other words, your positive thoughts, feelings and emotions can have a direct impact on your healing.
