Forensic Hypnosis

WASHINGTON – It's a crime-fighting tool that often kept secret,
but hypnosis has been used in high profile cases in the D.C. area
and across the country.

"We gained additional investigative information, probably a
couple of pages worth of the getaway vehicle and the physical
makeup of the potential suspect," said senior special agent John
Kilnapp of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Forensic hypnosis was put on the map in 1976 in California when a
school bus driver and 27 students were kidnapped and buried
alive. The driver escaped, underwent hypnosis, and remembered the
license plate number of the abductors' van.

Hypnosis for Hot Flashes

Most women going through menopause experience hot flashes.
Hormone replacement therapy helps, but many women have abandoned
the treatment because of the risk of breast cancer.

With hypnosis…

"We found a 58% decrease in the frequency of hot flashes, and
also very importantly, 76% decrease in the severity of hot
flashes."
