Not everyone lives in Saskatchewan. I hear that they have something called "the sun" in places farther south. I bet most Americans would get a kick out of us plugging in our cars in the winter. Also, here in Alberta people have much higher disposable incomes. It's like that in many other parts of the country. $500 is a lot in Saskatchewan, not so much elsewhere.

I have personally experienced the medicinal effects of hypnosis.
My doctor cured my migraines as a child through hypnosis. He has also cured asthma through the same techniques with other children. If the disease involves the mind, hypnosis is very effective.
When you think that the placebo effect is quite effective, consider being able to influence the subconscious in order to clear symptoms that were artifically created by the patient. Consider psychosomatic illnesses, where it's all in the person's head. The symptoms could potentially be cleared through hypnotic suggestion.
Consider smoking. As a smoker I know my triggers are certain situations. Hypnosis could be used to 'nullify' these situations so that a person could get enough willpower to quit.
I see many posts which make fun of hypnosis, but as someone who has benefitted from it, I just see ignorance. Try it and then make an informed decision.
I bought a Rio 500 years ago. It has an internal 64MB card and can take an additional card up to 64MB. 128MB isn't much, but one of the reasons I bought it was that it runs for about 8-10 hours on a single AA battery. You can probably find one on EBay for cheap. I used mine for years, and I had to crack it open to dust it out, but it still keeps on ticking.
