For the sake of the newly diagnosed or anyone who hasn't looked into it yet, I think that point really can't be made vigorously enough . . .
Referencing the 2010 study (Vlieger, et. al.), it was noted that:
Quote: Thirty-three percent of the children fell out of remission.
I realize that this was part of a discussion of the term "cure," but I nevertheless find it most important to note that in the comparison group receiving standard medical treatment *eighty percent* fell out of remission!

OK - that's not even close!!
In the researchers' own words:
Quote: . . . hypnotherapy was still highly superior to conventional therapy . . .
Having actually tried both with my daughter's 'severe' case, I can't stop myself from also adding that it's just an unbelievable bonus that the "highly superior" therapy also happens to be the one that costs less and has no potential (negative) side effects. Wow. I know I thought I was reading it wrong when I first saw that!
