I haven't, although I'm really curious about it. Did you see the Dateline episode about weight loss? They set up six motivated people to each be on a different weight loss program. (One Atkins, one weight watchers, one just low fat & exercise, etc.) One of the participants had hypnosis and nothing else. He ended up losing more weight than anyone, which I was VERY surprised by.
I tend to be a skeptic about alternative therapies such as herbs, etc. but recently I started taking an herb which reversed the sexual side effects of my anti-depressant, so I'm more of a believer in alternatives than I used to be.
I think you're right--what can it hurt? If you do it, be sure to let know how it goes!
