I have Autoimmune Disorder, should I avoid any hypnosis downloads?

I have the autoimmune disorder RA, which has been really giving me a hard time recently. I noticed in going through the induction on some of your downloads that there is the specific suggestion that my immune system would be functioning at a higher level. Do you have any information as to whether hypnosis in general, or at least downloads with specific immune system suggestions, should be avoided by individuals with autoimmune disorders? My medical professionals are unsure about this so I thought I'd ask you. Also, is it possible to maybe assist with the management of autoimmune disorders with hypnosis?

I think any form of relaxation will be good for RA as stress, as you know, tends to be inflammatory. So the sessions should help. Obviously your diet should be low in sugar and refined carbohydrates too but as far as the downloads are concerned its important to remember that they help lower stress levels and therefore normalize immune response.

We have a whole section on stress management and on relaxation techniques. I suggest you browse through the titles there and find something that suits you.
