Gruzelier, John: Health, Well-being and Immune Up-Regulation with Self-Hypnosis and Reiki: New Findings

We have published beneficial effects of self-hypnosis with immune imagery on mood and up-regulation of the immune system, benefits which translated to health. Healthy participants resisted illness at university exam time ompared with controls while patients with a severe and chronic viral illness, genital herpes, showed a reduction in recurrences. Identical advantages in both groups were found in those with a cognitively activated, agential personality in contrast to social withdrawal.
