NLP is used to enhance immune response in two ways. The first is by therapeutically changing the person's general state of mind and attitude to life events.
Research indicates that bereavement and experimentally induced negative mood states both inhibit the body's lymphocyte production which means that sustained grief and depression are states which increase the risk of cancer.
The second way in which NLP interventions can promote immune function is by directly "instructing" the lymphocytes to do their job more effectively. This is achieved by the person imagining their lymphocytes identifying and eliminating cancer cells using metaphorical representation.
Research tells us that people diagnosed with cancer that are taught relaxation and guided imagery show significantly higher T cell activity than controls.
