Product Description
Fast Facts on IBS: One in five people suffers from the frustrating symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). There is no simple answer–no pill, potion, or quick fix–that will cure IBS. But help is available. By understanding what causes IBS and by integrating mind, body, and spirit into the treatment plan, readers can achieve health and wellness. They can move from pain to peace, from helplessness to hopefulness, and from frustration to freedom. Tap into the Body’s Powerful Ability to Heal: The interrelationships between mind, body, and spirit are the forces that shape many health issues, especially for those suffering painful symptoms for which medical science does not find a discernible cause. IBS problems are painful and embarrassing, yet medical tests often find nothing abnormal. Spirals of increasing pain and frustration can result. Empowering those who suffer from functional gastrointestinal pain, symptoms, and syndromes to heal themselves, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the MindBodySpirit Connection–an all-new edition of the bestselling classic–offers wise counsel, medical insights, and a chance for people to lead lives of greater health and vitality. There is hope for those who suffer distressing symptoms. Using this guide, readers can learn comprehensive, step-by-step management techniques and connect with a mind-body-spirit protocol that works.

This is the most comprehensive yet systematic, accessible, and intelligent book I’ve read on IBS (I had read 7-8 others before finding this one). You can waste much time and money on all sorts of herbal and medicinal products as well as alternative therapies with absolutely no gain–in fact, in many cases you may decide you feel worse.
Salt and Neimark provide a complete analysis of the mind/body/spirit connection, taking you from the causes of your problem to the resolution of it that only knowledge and action can provide. Their approach employs all of the latest research in mainstream medicine as well as some bold and positive understandings that are unliikely to appear in the conventional literature.
The only slight “negative” may be many of the illustrations, which are frankly insipid and unilluminating. On the other hand, they do provide some “breathing space” for the reader, possibly providing the text with a lighter tone and feel.

Collaboratively written by digestive disorder specialists Dr. William Salt and Dr. Neil Neimark, and now available in a fully revised and updated new edition, Irritable Bowel Syndrome And The MindBodySpirit Connection is an invaluable, hope-giving, practical, non-specialist general reader friendly guide offering seven specific steps to improving one’s quality of life and health when living with a functional bowel disorder, Crohn’s Disease or colitis. Individual chapters focus on using the power of emotional and psychological attitude as well as more traditionally important habits of proper diet, exercise, water drinking etc. A thoughtful and attentive book and an excellent supplement to a doctor’s care, Irritable Bowel Syndrome And The MindBodySpirit Connection, with its practical and whole mind and body approach to maintaining good health, is important even to those who are fortunate enough to have compliantly regular bowels. A very highly recommended addition to personal and community library personal healthy and medical reference collections.
