IBS affects as much as 20% of people in USA and Europe. Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are pains in the abdomen bloating and altered bowel pattern. In addition there can be rectal symptoms such as irritation and urgency. There are also non-colonic symptoms.
Treatments of IBS can be divided into four categories. These are patient education, dietary modification, medication, and behaviour and psychological therapy. Experts now agree that psychological and behavioural therapies are more likely to be effective that the other three.
The law of Attraction suggests that you attract into your life whatever you think about. This generalisation in simple terms means that your thoughts determine your destiny. The Law of Attraction has built up an enormous momentum after a documentary film, “The Secrets”, 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 rumination and negative thoughts concluded that negative thoughts may be detrimental to health independently of effects. In Reikii, all processes of healing or personal and spiritual development is associated with elimnating from a person’s energy field negative KI or life forces, 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? There are some common ones. 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. Stress can trigger IBS symptoms. A cure is not an option. With IBS, you have to live with it. Most IBS sufferers complain that they do not get the support they need from 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. Treatment such as psychotherapy and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) are producing excellent results. 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.” At the State University of New York, Dr. J. Lackner 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 benefit may not last long 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 living normal lives, eating foods that were previously triggers. No treatment is effective in refractory IBS. Negative thoughts are plucked out of the subconscious mind during hypnotherapy and postive thoughts are added. The Law of Attraction is at work here. Ingrained negative thoughts created negative effects in refractory IBS. After hypnotherapy, positive thoughts produced positive effects.
Using the Law of Attraction, how can you improve your symptoms of IBS? Keep the positives in the forefront of your mind. Make them your reality and eventually your thoughts and feelings. Here are some positives. There is no abnormality in your gut. IBS does not lead on to other serious illnesses. Stress is a trigger. you can control stress. You can improve your IBS by getting a better balance in your life. You can lead a full life even though you have IBS. Whatever IBS treatment you are on, keep your dreams and aspirations positive.
