terests you, I suggest you pick up a copy or
When Technology Fails
and read the practical
“how-to” instructions for hypnotic inductions and basic techniques. The same chapter of
When
Technology Fails
that contains information on hypnotic inductions and methods also provides
considerably more information on herbal treatments, and other alternative healing modalities,
than I am able to cover in this chapter of
When Disaster Strikes
.

When my wife took her professional hypnotherapist training, one of the other students in her class related this remark-
able story: Patty and her husband, Joe, were cutting firewood in a remote location. Joe's chain saw slipped and cut
deeply into his thigh, severing a major artery. Blood was spurting everywhere, and they were many miles from any med-
ical services. Maintaining a cool head, Patty decided to try a hypnosis technique that she had heard about. Speaking
in a soft monotone, she quickly induced a light trance in Joe, then gave him the hypnotic suggestion that the severed
arteries in his leg were squeezing shut and that the blood flow was turned off, like the flow of water from a faucet.
Amazingly, the leg stopped bleeding! They were able to walk to their truck and drive for half an hour until they reached
the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, the surgeon expressed concern that the wound had not bled enough to
cleanse the chainsaw gash and therefore left a significant chance for severe infection. At his recommendation, Patti re-
moved the hypnotic suggestion to allow the wound to bleed. Immediately, the wound began spurting startling amounts
of blood. The surgeon said that he had never seen anything like that in all his years of medicine. Normally, without a
tourniquet, this kind of severe bleeding would have cost the life of her husband before they could have reached the
hospital. The other amazing thing about this story is that Patty had no prior training in hypnotic techniques at the time
of the accident.

I am not a doctor, and I am not suggesting you turn your back on regular medical diagnosis
and treatments. A wise course of action is to become familiar with several of the alternative
therapies and herbs that have proven themselves by helping thousands of people to heal, many
times only after high-tech Western pharmaceutical-based medicine had failed them. Since my
primary concern is with getting and staying healthy, and not with performing scientific studies
on myself or my loved ones, I tend to go for the “shotgun” approach (combining multiple al-
ternatives). However, when combining therapies, use caution, since some herbs may have
harmful interactions with certain pharmaceutical drugs, and other treatments, such as MMS,
may oxidize and destroy other remedies, such as colloidal silvers, if consumed at the same
time.
I suggest you have a variety of these recommended materials on hand, including pharma-
ceutical antibiotics (if you have a source for them), in the event that Western pharmaceutical
medicines are not readily available, or are simply not working.
