Hey njsc,
Thanks for your input of these specifics. I think you have missed the main thrust of my post, which was that state can have a much greater effect than it sometimes seems possible.
One of the main points in your post is that there are many causes and alternative ‘cures’ for both hay fever and snoring and that doctors are often thinking on a broader scale than I have given them credit for in my example.
...Doctors (md’s) who use homeopathic methods offer, at least in the US, a type of exposure therapy that relies on air-based exposure, not needles, and the therapy takes weeks, not years.
I am not having a go at doctors in my post and I will admit that I can not speak for every Doctor, Spiritual practitioner etc in the world when I made my example. But to the general public in the UK this is all that there is on offer through the NHS. Also the original question was
...can NLP help in curing snoring and/or sleep apnoea?
. My reply gave a direct response to the question asked and I think your point here was aimed at my example not at my suggestion.
The other point that I took particular note of is your comment at the end.
And if I could offer one last suggestion: NLP New Code practitioners place their client’s well-being above their own research interests.
Firstly there has been no mention of using this on clients until your posts, in my original post I referenced using it on myself. In fact a lot of my New Code research has been conducted on myself. In any case all you are doing with New Code games is manipulating state, we go to bed at night in many different states (or at least I do). If I’ve just come home from rock climbing and go straight to bed I will be in a very different state to if I had been reading for the last few hours. What I am saying is that change of state is a natural occurrence, so with doing a New Code game we are not lopping out part of someones head, or injecting people with chemicals but seeing what effect a natural state change has on our experience (or in this case our partners experience lol).
The fact is njsc, you nor I can say with 100% certainty what will happen with applying New Code to snoring until one of us tries it out, which I would be more than happy to do if I was a reliable snorer. Likewise neither of us can say that all the treatments in your post will work for 100% of people and 100% of the time. I am here to explore new possibilities, not to rely on what research others have done before us, I don’t want to drink from the well my whole life, I want to add to it too. This has always been the frame on my posts.
Dave
