I didn't see anyone dismiss them as a waste of time. I myself only said that since you are the one claiming it's all fraud, and that the Medical Establishment does not, that as far as I am concerned, it is you who have the burden of the proof. YOU are the one who claims that because you personally have stated that you think it's bunk, that everyone ELSE has to prove otherwise.
All I'm saying is, that that isn't how Science or logic works.
Again, you are conflating hypnosis - the stage magic bullshit - with hypnotherapy, which even the medical establishment says (in the link you provided above) is relaxation therapy mixed with CBT.
You are the one asserting that hypnosis is valid, you have the burden of proof to support that claim - and you still, despite repeated requests, haven't done it.
