As a former sufferer on numerous occasions, I can heartily recommend
the treatment above -- I haven't had a recurrence in 3 years.  Another
avenue to try -- I have an EXCELLENT dermatologist here in Greensboro, NC
who likes to really talk to his patients (novel concept!!) and keep
up with the latest and greatest in his field.  Although the method
above is a surefire fix, it is not a preventative -- I believe it
results in a 60% non-recurrence rate.  As of 3 years ago, though,
there were [non-verified] claims of around 90% cure rates via laser
surgery.  You might wish to check into that as well -- those little
lasers can do amazingly precise work.

As for the hypnosis end, I would tend to believe that it could help;
warts are caused by sluggish T-cells as I remember, and mental well-being
is a BIG factor in that.
