The Function of Pain

A very successful hypnotist died of a heart attack. His wife was a medical doctor. Her friends were all medical doctors. None of them knew he was having a heart attack — because he had trained himself to eliminate the sensation of pain using hypnosis. The very signal that would have saved his life was the one he had learned to suppress. Pain is not the enemy. It is the body's most intelligent communication system. Antano's exploration of pain's function goes far beyond physical sensation — it is a study of what happens when the body's feedback systems are circumvented rather than understood. Pain signals the presence of something that needs attention. When that signal is suppressed without addressing what generated it, the underlying condition continues. Excellence Installation Technology works in the direction of restoring, not bypassing, the body's intelligence — so that every signal becomes useful information rather than unwanted noise.
