1 Esdaile Technique Demonstration video online from Traditional Hypnosis (114 min.)
with John London, PhD, CCHt
Dr. James Esdaile was the British chief surgeon of a military prison in Calcutta, India in the 1840s. The mortality rate for surgery at that time was 50-70%. Using what appeared to be a comma state of hypnosis, Dr. Esdaile was able to get this rate down to 5-7% in the military prison. This was also important because it was before the use of ether for anesthesia in surgery. In this demonstration video you learn how to produce that comma state which is now referred to as the Esdaile State of hypnosis. (production quality: best)
