Titolo: IPNOSI e contraccezione

Buon giorno,
sulla base della letteratura scientifica disponibile, l'ipnocontraccezione va
considerata INAFFIDABILE e pertanto NON raccomandabile a scopo contraccettivo.
In breve, anche se l'ipnosi è molto valida nell'aumentare la fertilità (persino
in donne con aborti spontanei ripetuti) appare invece poco soddisfacente nel
diminuire la fertilità a scopo contraccettivo, come risulta dalla letteratura
(non conclusiva) citata qui sotto.

Hypnocontraception effectivity tested.

The effectivity of hypnocontraception was tested in 23 women selected as the
most suitable ones from 86 registered interested women. The method was based on
experience of the Milanese authors, especially Professor Marchesan. The
hypnocontraception was performed in eight sessions, the temporary sterility was
suggested for six months with a possibility of prolongation for another six
months. In the course of the study 14 out of the 23 treated women became
pregnant, seven of them in the course of the first two months and twelve of them
in the course of the first six months. The remaining 9 women did not get
pregnant. Out of them six terminated the hypnocontraception after six months,
one after 12 months and four continue up to now (7-22 months). Consequently, the
effectivity of the procedure applied in this study has been shown as not
sufficient to recommend its introduction as a current means of contraception in
the general population.

Control of physiological phenomena via hypnosis with special reference to
contraception.
Perry BJ.
Hypnotic suggestion has been demonstrated to facilitate changes in the
physiology of the human body, particularly with reference to the autonomic
nervous system and homeostasis. Examples of suggestion modifying the physical
condition include regulation of the menstrual cycle, promotion of lactation in
the nursing mother, inhibition of pain, inhibition of blood flow after surgery,
hypnotically induced abortion, mammary augmentation and reduction of scar
tissue. It is hypothesized that a continuous intercell communication system may
inform the individual cell of its need to adapt in order to survive. Hypnotic
contraception is postulated to make use of the existing neuronal systems
concerned with survival. As a result, a woman may render herself sterile to a
fertilized ovum. 5 criteria are desirable for hypnotic contraception: 1) a good
hypnotic subject, able to reach medium to deep stage; 2) the absence of
conditioned blocks that may counteract the process; 3) genuine desire on the
part of the patient not to conceive; 4) sufficient intelligence to guarantee
some understanding of the process; and 5) a relatively well adjusted patient.
After hypnosis is achieved, the patient is told: "You will now realize that you
are in control of the reproductive system of your body; you have decided for the
time being it is inadvisable to conceive (for whatever reason given by the
patient). You will now find you are able to conceive only when you have made a
conscious decision to do so having regard to all circumstances at the time."

PIP: The possibility of applying harmless processes of psychosomatic sterility
and infertility to achieve contraception and induce spontaneous abortion by
hypnosis is discussed.   It is necessary to find the appropriate technique to
condition the subconscious to use psychic factors to inhibit ovulation or to
prevent contact between the ovum and the sperm.  This might be achieved by a
psychogenic alteration of the vaginal pH, or by psychogenic spasm capable of
closing the uterine cervix or the fallopian tubes, or by interfering with the
hypothalamus-hypophysis-ovary system.

[Possibility of inducing psychosomatic sterility by hypnosis for contraceptive
purposes]
[Article in Italian]
Chigbuh AE.
PIP: All the various theories concerning the causes of psychosomatic sterility
are reviewed and the relationships between the psyche, the brain, and the
genital functions of women are analyzed.   Such relationships could be exploited
in order to obtain a technique of hypnotic contraception.  The possibility of
creating conditioned reflexes at the subconscious level, so that, when a woman
does not want to become pregnant, either ovulation could be psychically
inhibited, or, when the sperm reaches the vagina, the subconscious could  modify
the pH of the vagina or the quality of cervical mucus, preventing the passage of
the sperm through the cervix, is considered.  Spasms of the uterine cervix or of
the fallopian tubes have also been demonstrated to be induced by psychogenic
factors.  Hypnotic contraception could be obtained also by self-hypnosis,
inducing such spasms, which would prevent contact between the sperm and the
ovum, thereby avoiding fecundation and pregnancy.  Hypnotic contraception could
be highly advantageous, being reversible, and would be harmless, economical, and
morally acceptable. author's modified
