Hypnotist Dave Knight claims to boost boob size

Oct 11 2009 Sunday Sun

Detailed clinical studies report that hypnosis can help only around 20-35% of smokers, but Mr McNaney responds by saying that he’s less interested in clinical tests than what works for his clients.

Inside Out learns that while Mr McNaney has a website offering hypnotherapy services, he isn’t the director of any registered hypnotherapy company.

He is, however, the director of an outfit that predicts who’s going to win at horse racing . . . so long as you send nearly £5300 to a South Shields PO Box for the privilege of finding out.

He claims this scheme is no longer in operation and was stopped before he became a hypnotherapist.

In last week’s Sunday Sun, Inside Out presenter Chris Jackson revealed his cat George would have a starring role in the programme. In tomorrow’s show the pet moggy becomes an “accredited” hypnotherapist.

Chris registered the ginger and white rescue cat with several seemingly professional industry organisations and all he needed was a fake diploma and a fee.

The fact that so many people are setting themselves up as experts worries hypnotherapist Andy Austin, who blows the whistle on his own industry.

He claims internet forums are full of clueless hypnotherapists.

He said: “People are often spending their money in good faith, believing that the person they are paying is fully registered, fully qualified and is a professional.”

However, some of the organisations with whom George the cat was registered applaud Inside Out’s investigative efforts.

However, one organisation responds by saying that they don’t check their applicants, saying they are merely a member benefits company.

:: Inside Out will be screened tomorrow night at 7.30pm on BBC One.
