Abstract
Abstract Eight healthy control subjects who had no history of allergic disorders were run through a series of experimental conditions which were interposed between eosinophile counts taken at 8:OO a.m. and noon, In three of the situations a few additional “normal” controls were added. Six patients diagnosed as having atopic dermatitis were studied in one of the hypnotic conditions, viz., suggested “personal stress,” and four other atopics were exposed to a simulated murder. An analysis of the results indicated that “normals” had significant differences in their eosinophile counts before and after a control run and hypnosis. However, direct reference to the raw data revealed an abnormally low average count before one of the intervening stresses which then rose more than 48y0 on the entire group by noon. The increase, which could hardly have been due to the experimental situation, created such a difference between the means of the hypnotic conditions, that a spurious significance level of greater than -05 b...
