I'm not saying hypnosis doesn't influence physiology at all, just
a) It's tough to do so. If you want to lose weight, for instance, your odds are a lot better if you hypnotize yourself to eat healthy and excercise more than if you aim solely for a faster metabolism.
b) It can only do so to a certain extent. You're not going to grow a second X chromosome, reverse aging, etc. Breast growth: yes, Ovary growth: no.
c) It takes weeks, often many months, to induce notable physical change through hypnosis. The people who come to WMM expecting to become supermodels in a week (and I know you've seen them) are sorely deluded.
