Re: fasting.. now yellow teeth?
Glad you are going to check out self hypnosis. I know it will be a big asset in your fasting, or anything else you want to do.
I've mentioned this before, but we are all programmed from birth (actually before) to accept certain beliefs that may, or may not be best for us. This was mostly done by well meaning people who were given these same beliefs by other well meaning people. You can change those beliefs, and habits through hypnosis.
Using an analogy, the mind is like a computer in that it runs software, and that software can be changed, or updated. The sub conscious mind is the software of the brain, and can also be changed. If there is any doubt about the mind body connection, I suggest you read "The Genie in your Genes" By Dawson Church.

Product Descriiption
Author Dawson Church applies the insights of the new field of Epigenetics (epi=above, i.e. control above the level of the gene) to healing. Citing hundreds of scientific studies, he shows how beliefs and emotions can trigger the expression of DNA strands. He focuses on a class of genes called Immediate Early Genes or IEGs. These genes turn on within a few seconds of a stimulus. They can be triggered by thoughts or emotions ("I loved that unexpected gift of roses Bill gave me" or "I'm so mad about what Uncle John said at the Christmas party"). Many IEGs are regulatory genes turn on other genes that affect specific aspects of our immune system, such as the production of white blood cells that destroy attacking bacteria and viruses. Epigenetics thus influences our health every day.
He coins the new term "Epigenetic Medicine" to describe healing techniques with epigenetic effects. He also summarizes the science behind the infant fields of Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine, both of which offer promising epigenetic medical therapies, and describes a few of the thousands of powerful personal breakthroughs that are being achieved by therapists, doctors and lay people praticing these techniques. The Genie in Your Genes shows that there is a sound theoretical framework, based on credible experiments, for understanding these astonishing results, and predicts that the insights of Epigenetic Medicine will dramatically advance the fields of both medicine and psychology in the coming decade.
Best of all, The Genie in Your Genes demonstrates that, by taking control of our consciousness and using it to influence our genetic expression, we can sometimes bypass years of therapy, as well as harmful drugs and invasive surgeries, to, in effect, do continuous genetic engineering on our own bodies. This can produce both immediate relief from long-standing anxieties and neuroses, as well as "miraculous" healing of persistent physical conditions, especially autoimmune diseases.
Among a new crop of books that chart the way to a positive health future, The Genie in Your Genes stands out as a solidly grounded and exciting pointer to the future possibilities of a medicine that links soul to body and mind. "

Additional books related to self hypnosis that will compliment the learning of hypnosis is anything on Visualizations, and mind suggestion. One book I can recommend is this one, although he has written several others.
