I just bookmarked the article that you recommended and will read it later.

For your information, there is a section on hypnosis in the book, "The Holographic Universe". There was a young boy with Broque's Disease, an incurable disease where the patient has reptile-like skin. Under hypnosis, it was suggested to the boy that, when he came out of hypnosis, he could wash intensely for a specific period of time (2 weeks if I recall correctly) and the scales would fall off. The kid came out of the trance enthusiastically with the "idea" that he should wash intensely and that the scales would fall off. At the end of the designated period, the scales fell off naturally. I never forgot that example.
