Beverly Bryant here, President of the Washington State Chapter,

I feel the need to help out one of our fellow Hypnotherapists. HBO
has a show called Bull____ put on by Penn and Teller. They worked
with Wendi Friesen and took it all out of context. I have been in
contact with Wendi and she has written this letter to freely
distribute to anyone that has concerns. Please feel free to send
this to anyone you feel the need to. We must protect the integrity
of our field in every way possible. This show was unfair to Wendi
and unfair to all of us in the field of hypnosis. We have worked too
hard to keep our field professional.

Thank you so much,
Bev

Hi Bev,

It was brutal. What we actually filmed was brilliant. Great work
with MDs and dentist.

Below is a letter about the show. You can distribute it to anyone
who is wondering about this.

What really happened?



Through the magic of television, it was said that I claim that I can
cure cancer. In fact, I was not interviewed about that, I do not
have ONE single claim about curing or healing cancer on my website,
and the comments made by them were fabricated.

I do have several healing programs that are focused on healing the
emotional state that contributes to illness. I work hand in hand
with doctors, and for my clients who have cancer I work with their
fears, create a positive outlook, help create the imagery that will
enhance their immune system. The fact that your mental and emotional
state affects your immune system is nothing new. This is well
researched and documented. Yes, I do help people with imagery that
can create a better state of health. Yes, the word cancer is used,
but not in any context that I can cure it.

I have never, ever claimed that I can heal or cure cancer. It is
disspointing that they chose to make this claim for me on the show.



The segments they filmed were mostly in the Dentists office with
some great work on phobia release, in the MD's office on pain
control with some very powerful statements by the doctor about what
he observed. The majority of the footage that they filmed was about
medical and dental uses of hypnosis, and showed my work in that
area. They insisted that I do the birth regression, and I said no.
They said they had to have it. I agreed, but explained on camera
that birth memories are mostly metaphors that are created to help
the mind heal. I cited some research from psychiatrists who have
verified that some birth memories are accurate. However, I stuck by
my statement that birth memories are a metaphor that the mind
creates.

They sure didn't put that on the show!



Toward the end they asked me about the penis enlargement, filmed
about 5 minutes of me explaining that this is not the focus of my
work, but it seems to work for some men, and does not work for many
men. Same with growing hair. Many men have found that their hair
began to grow when they did hypnosis. The placebo rate for the hair
growth drug propecia succesfully grows hair in 38% of the
particpants in the study. They grew at least 100 hairs per sq in
from just a placebo. Hypnosis seems to create a similar response.
Again, this was a few minutes of footage out of the 8 hours that day.



To those of you who took the time to respond and visit my site, here
is what I want you to know.

The great work we did for 8 hours of filming that day was focused on
the medical aspects hypnosis for phobias, pain, fears, blood
pressure and stress triggers. They chose to show NONE of that.

I have built a business that is succesful based on results that
people have in creating a better mind, happier relationships,
releasing headaches, chronic pain, and so much more.

The enlargement stuff is such a small part of my business- less than
2%.

My life is dedicated to creating a better and more powerful lives
for others. The only reason I am succesful is because of the people
out there who have discovered that they can change their life and
create what they want.



Life is full of risks. Being on Penn and Teller was one of them!



Thanks for reading this far! If you have any other questions, please
feel free to email me.
