IBS and the Law of Attraction.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome affects as much as 20% of people in USA and Europe. Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome 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. Patient education, medication, dietary modification and behavioural and psychological therapies are the four categories. It is agreed amongst experts that behaviour and psychological 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.

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

Job loss, relationship break ups etc may lead to negative thoughts and 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.

So, does the Law of Attraction apply to Irritable Bowel Syndrome? 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. Stress can trigger IBS symptoms. A cure is not an option. 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? Recently experts are recommending treatment that focus on the mind for IBS treatment. These include psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). “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.” Said Moss-Morris at the University of Southampton At the State University of New York, Dr. J. Lackner reported that after four brief sessions of CBT and a self-study manual given to patients, there was improvement in 73% of his IBS patients.

When a new treatment come on the market, an IBS patient will expectantly try it and may gain benefits. This benefit may not last long because of the negative underbelly (There is no cure.) in the subconscious mind. Soon the benefits may wear off.

There are cases of refractory Irritable Bowel Syndrome patients after having a course of hypnotherapy enjoying normal lives, eating foods that were previously triggers. Nothing works anymore in refractory IBS. During hypnotherapy, negative messages about IBS are plucked from the subconscious mind and replaced by positive ones. The Law of Attraction is at work here. 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? Keep the positives in the forefront of your mind. Convert these positives into your reality and your thoughts and feelings will change. Here are some positives. Your gut is normal. 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 see yourself one day in total control of your IBS. Whatever IBS treatment you are on, keep your dreams and aspirations positive.
