Hypnosis shows well in helping with IBS; Hypnosis protocol now available
A 7-session protocol for hypnotherapy treatment of IBS is available free of charge to state-licensed medical professionals that also have training and experience in hypnosis. The protocol is offered by Olafur S. Palsson, Psy.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who is also the steward of the IBSHypnosis.com web site.
An article at About.com, "Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrom", mentions the protocol and symptoms relief. One nice quote:
Research has consistently shown hypnotherapy to be an effective form of treatment for many individuals who suffer from IBS.
Barbara Bradley Bolen, Ph.D.is the About.com guide for IBS, and the Health's Disease and Condition content on About.com is reviewed by a Medical Review Board, which is a nice feature not found on many informational sites.
Linked sources in the About.com IBS area mention a success rate as high as 80% for long-term symptom relief of IBS, improving the quality of life for sufferers of IBS without side effects.
