The following is a link to a video. This video is an example of the tremendous power of the mind, of beliefs (which is grossly underestimated) as manifested through the most jaw dropping case of hypnosis in medical history.
Healing of a Genetic Disorder via Hypnosis
If the video is not enough for you and you're curious for more data, I have also attached a pdf file of the case study, which was published in the British Medical Journal in 1952.
The Case Study
In addition, here is a link to the TIME article. Unfortunately, it seems you cannot read the full article unless you have a subscription. Supposedly the subscription is free. So if you do have a subscription or you'd like to sign up, here is the link for you to check it out!

P.S. I'm sure at the end of the video you might be wondering 'whatever did happen to that young man?!' Well there is another upload of the same video that is more complete. I couldn't find that one so I will tell you what is said right here. The young man wanted his identity protected so we don't have his name. However, he was about 60 years old, and married without children, when the documentary was completed. It seems he was able to go on and lead a normal life! <3
