In
2013, research at UCLA in Los Angeles studied the effect of an hypnosis
programme designed to improve reactions to work and life stress. To monitor the
effect of hypnosis, the level of the cytokine IL-6 in the blood was measured in
eleven participants before and after the programme. IL-6 is a protein released
in response to stress including infection burns and trauma. Over a period of 12
weeks a significantly lower level of IL-6 was observed. Participants also reported
a significant decrease in negative and pessimistic thinking and an improvement
in eating/nutritional habits.
