'One of the most striking examples seen in hypnotic applications is that even a wound can appear on the skin of the hypnotized person through inculcation. For example, Paul Thorsen, a researcher, touches the arm of the person under hypnosis with a tip of a pen and tells him that it's a hot skewer. Soon, a blister (as would have been produced by a second degree burn) formed in the region where the tip of the pen touched. Thorsen also hypnotized a person called Anne O. into believing that the letter A was being drawn onto her arm by pressing hard. Although nothing else was done, redness emerged in the shape of an "A" in that area.5 Researchers H. Bourru and P. Burot, persuading a hypnotized person that his arm was being cut, saw that the arm was bleeding after being slightly drawn on by a pencil. 6''

''It is a fact that some skin diseases can be cured by using hypnosis. On the pictures above we see the disease before being treated with hypnosis, then we see it after the person has been hypnotized and the disease has been cured.
(D. Waxman, Hypnosis, p. 113)''
The source, docstroc (with the same wording) also claims that patients hypnotized before walking on hot coal received no sign of burn injury.

Sounds like simple stage tricks to me. I would look up what someone like Randi has to say on the subject.

Who is 'Paul Thorsen'?
Where is his research available?
Has it been replicated?

These claims are what we in the medical profession call a right load of bollocks.

How? didn't you read my link? Look up ''hypnosis blisters'' and a lot of people report similar things without actual physical injury. I am asking if this is actually possible.

So when are you going to ask if hypnotic surgery is real? You know when the guy with the dirty as crap hands reaches into the idiots head and pulls out the chicken mince tumour and there is only a small amount of tomato sauce blood.

He hasn't got to that page of http://www.random-pointless-crap-on-the-internet.com yet.
Maybe that'll be the next one up after he abandons this thread.

Well maybe if you hypnotise me I will be able to take the this next "Is this random thing real" thread seriously. Might take a lot of hypnosis to make me not so snarky though.

Well they do say that hypnosis can't make you do what you don't want to do.

Well there goes my idea to get hypnotised and have the bloke tell me to love cleaning the house.

Stay on topic. Go to the off-topic forum if you want to chat instead.
Discuss if this is possible (the notion of nerve transmission resulting in burn wounds or blisters) or not.
