IBS affects as much as 20% of people in USA and Europe. IBS symptoms are pains in the abdomen associated with altered bowel pattern and bloating. Rectal symptoms such as irritation, pain or urgency can be present. There are also non-colonic symptoms.

Treatments of IBS fall into four categories. These are patient education, dietary modification, medication, and behaviour and psychological therapy. It is agreed amongst experts that psychological and behavioural therapies provided better long term results.

You attract into your life whatever you think about according to the Law of Attraction. The simple explanation of the Law of Attraction is that your thoughts determine your destiny. An enormous momentum was built up after “The Secrets”; a documentary film, was shown on Oprah. The Law of Attraction is used effectively for personal growth, financial success and achievements.

The question is: Does the Law of Attraction work in Medicine? A study done in 2004 on 314 elderly subjects and 196 young people associated with negative thoughts or rumination concluded that negative thoughts can damage your health. In Reikii, all processes of healing or personal and spiritual development is associated with removing negative Ki (Life Forces) from a person’s energy field, along with negative thoughts and feelings that have created it.

Negative thoughts, following job loss, relationship break ups and poor assessment, affect self-esteem. Feelings of worthlessness, insignificance, insecurity can develop and that person feel easily defeated. A positive person usually have high self-esteem and their level of success is determined by these thoughts.

In Irritable Bowel Syndrome, does the Law of Attraction apply? What information is given to a person when first diagnosed with IBS? Here are a few. No one is quite sure why you have IBS. There is no single treatment that works for everyone. There is no abnormality in your gut. There is no cure. Stress plays an important role in IBS. You have to live with it. It is also an established fact that most IBS sufferers do not get adequate support from their health professionals.

Is it not likely these negative facts can affect the mind of IBS sufferers and produce negative effects? Treatments that focus on the mind are now recommended by experts. These include psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Moss-Morris at the University of Southampton, UK said, “Patients who have ongoing IBS symptoms might benefit from a simple, early intervention of CGT, a means of changing thought processes from negative to positive that has been shown to be helpful.” Dr .J. Lackner at the State University of New York reported that there was an improvement in 73% of patients with IBS after four short sessions of CGT and home study manual given to patients.

When an IBS patient tries a new treatment, expectation may well create significant improvement. This improvement is short lived because in the mind, there is fixed the thought that there is no cure.

There are cases of refractory Irritable Bowel Syndrome patients following gut directed hypnotherapy enjoying normal lives, eating foods that were previously triggers. When IBS becomes refractory no treatment works. Negative thoughts are plucked out of the subconscious mind during hypnotherapy and postive thoughts are added. This is the Law of Attraction working at its best. After hypnotherapy, positive thoughts produce positive results and before hypnotherapy, ingrained negative thoughts make symptoms severe.

Using the Law of Attraction, how can you improve your symptoms of IBS? Focus on the positives. Convert these positives into your reality and your thoughts and feelings will change. Here are some positives. Your gut is normal. Your IBS will not lead on to other illnesses. If stress is a trigger, you can control it. You can balance your lifestyle to improve your IBS. You can lead a full life even though you have IBS. Whatever IBS treatment you are on, keep your dreams and aspirations positive.
