Enormous Markets For Hypnosis

Here are the facts presented in the best selling book, "Inside America" by public opinion expert Louis Harris.

Weight Loss Market - 78% of all Americans would spend money to lose weight; 35% would like to lose 25 pounds plus; 16% want to lose 16 to 25 pounds; 14% between 11 and 15 pounds.

Stop Smoking - 22% of adult America smokes. Forty million Americans want to quit this expensive, dangerous, life consuming habit and will pay hundreds to do so. 

Note: While the patch is only 28% effective hypnosis is 98% effective and normally with only one session.

Stress Reduction - 89% of all adult Americans suffer from stress. One hundred fifty-eight million people state they suffer from high stress; 59% report weekly stress while 30% report severe stress everyday.

These are only three markets clinical therapists "cash in" on daily. Add sleep disturbance, self-confidence, anxiety and depression to the list and EVERY ADULT AMERICAN HAS A GENUINE NEED FOR HYPNOSIS.

Hypnosis was approved by the American Medical Association in 1956. Hypnosis is being used in health care facilities across the nation. The use of hypnosis is sweeping the nation. But, don’t take my word for it. Here are headlines of articles that have appeared in national publications:
