Interested in the Audio Program? Get an even better deal with the IBS Stress Kit! The IBS Audio Program 100™, for Irritable Bowel Syndrome self-hypnosis, consists of 3 gut-directed and gut-specific therapeutic session CDs, with an introduction and five different hypnotherapy sessions. Each builds on the preceding one into a comprehensive 100-day course of treatment. Sessions vary in duration but average 25-35 minutes. The program also includes a bonus 4th CD ("the IBS Companion"), which explains IBS to other people in the patient's life. A program booklet provides a symptom checklist, progress log, listening scheduler, and essential information for IBS sufferers. The program effectively converts one-to-one sessions that are used in the clinical environment into a unique home-based, easy to follow program for the IBS sufferer. Designed and performed by Michael Mahoney, one of the United Kingdom's leading Clinical Hypnotherapists in the treatment of IBS, the program is the culmination of his clinical experience since 1986. His services are regularly used by gastroenterologists, doctors and other medical professionals. Michael is an associate member of the Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology. Michael became interested in the treatment of IBS in 1993, due to increased referrals from gastroenterologists who could not find relief for their IBS patients with conventional medical treatments. These patients were the doctor's "heart-sinks" because nothing further could be done for them. In fact, many of these patients had given up hope and were ready to try anything to get relief from suffering with IBS. These were refractory IBS patients; that is, patients resistant to every type of treatment provided for them. After seeing thousands of IBS patients with every combination of symptoms and duration, who were referred through word of mouth or by medical professionals, the gut-directed and gut-specific hypnotherapy protocols used in Michael's clinical setting were fine-tuned and recorded for patients either too far away or too incapacitated to attend therapy sessions in person. To test the efficacy and effectiveness of the program, patients were asked to participate in private clinical research trials. These patients were contacted for three follow-up periods of assessment, with the last being three years following completion of the program. Results exceeded previous research findings and showed the IBS hypnosis program gave an average 85% reduction of pain and bowel dysfunction symptoms. Please note that individual results may vary.

**Customer Reviews**Heather, I, too, am a testimony for the IBS Audio Program. I tried it as a last resort - out of desperation. The first thing I noticed was a change in my thought pattern and my reactions to stressful situations. Then I slowly began to see a change in my bowel movement. The changes went back and forth for me for a while because I'd just started a new job that was very stressful, along with the fact that I am a full time wife and mother who's taking a full course load in college. So I knew that if it was to work for me, it had to be pretty good. It was difficult for me to stay on track with the schedule at times, but I was persistent because I knew that this was something I had to do for myself. With such a busy schedule, I was always tired when I listened to it and would fall asleep every time. Thank goodness hypnotherapy works on the subconscious, allowing the subject to totally relax. I began to see a total healing in about 75 days. For the first time in years, I have eaten a full tossed salad as a main course, ice cream and other things that I had sworn off because of IBS. My only concern now is keeping my weight down. I commend Michael Mahoney for a terrific, effective program. It works. It truly works. It is worth the money. There is no reason for people to suffer unnecessarily. I hope that others will listen as well. Thanks for all that you do. Stephanie Norton ******* Dear Heather, IBS really ruined my whole life, and just like everyone, I felt torn between being grateful I didn't have something "serious" and guilty for feeling like I was dying anyway. People treat you differently when they know that IBS is something that isn't "serious" as in life-threatening, but my gastroenterologist told me that he could treat the pain of his colon cancer patients better than the IBS patients. I was officially diagnosed in 1988, after about five years of not knowing why I was having increasingly severe diarrhea and abdominal pain. With the birth of my daughter that same year, I thought I better get tested, that maybe I did have some digestive disease, but several colonoscopies later, it was confirmed as IBS. Trips to the Mayo Clinic and two other gastroenterologists further confirmed that every single prescription and OTC medication had little or no effect, and only short-term, if any. Over the next 12 years or so, I was prescribed various IBS medications by my gastroenterologists and internal medicine physicians - some examples: every antispasmodic including Hyoscyamine (Levbid/Levsin, and Levsin SL), Dicyclomine (Bentyl), as well as Donnatal, Tincture of Belladonna, etc., several diets and diet modifications/eliminations, fiber, the anti-depressant Amitriptyline (Elavil), various SSRIs (Prozac, Effexor and others), Codeine, Colpermin, various other Antidiarrheal and/or Antiperistaltic prescriptions or OTC medications, as well as non-label use of prescriptions such as Seldane, which has a side-effect of constipation to combat my extreme diarrhea. There were other medications, and herbals as well. My gastroenterologist finally told me that he had exhausted his treatment options, and to go look up other treatments on the internet. In my search, I found out about the use of clinical hypnotherapy for IBS through a fellow IBS sufferer who had used it successfully. I thought this method was pretty far-fetched and seemed to be absurd to me. But, I was desperate, so I tried this method as a last resort in the summer of 2000. This was the IBS Audio Program 100, which is a set of CDs with a specific schedule of several sessions that you listen to. Due to the severity of my severe refractory IBS, as well as several non-related surgeries, I listened to the program three times. Each time I saw better improvement - and I was the worst case scenario. Mike Mahoney, the hypnotherapist who created the program, told me that the hypnotherapy program worked first on those health issues and stressors in my life that were most pressing to my overall health - and that the IBS was dealt with last in my case - but I persevered, and my symptoms greatly reduced. That was over six years ago, and now I can actually leave the house, whereas before, I raised my children "through the bathroom door!" I had attacks of diarrhea and pain lasting for hours on end, sometimes six hours a day, almost every day, never knowing when...even if I ate small amounts, the attacks would come out of the blue. I am now able to function - if I do get an attack, most of the time it will subside within minutes, if not seconds. IBS is no longer the severe issue that it was, and though not a cure, for me, it was the best thing I could have done to treat my IBS on a holistic level. My IBS cost me a whole lost life...events and special celebrations for my kids, just taking them to routine doctor and dentist appointments was an ordeal, and my marriage suffered and collapsed in part because of it. I went from being able to travel and talk professionally in front of large groups of people, to being just about housebound. This program saved my life. And I now help the author of the program, clinical hypnotherapist Michael Mahoney, as a result of my gratitude for getting my life back. As one of the slowest persons to respond, and with very severe symptoms, I feel that I do need to pass on what was given to me and encourage others to not lose hope. That's what worked for me and I hope this helps someone too. Thanks for letting me share! Marilyn Bellezzo Chicago, IL ******* Dear Heather, I have suffered from IBS for about 36 years. I have been to many doctors, including the Mayo Clinic and herbalists. None were able to really help for the long term. My aunt directed me to your website. For the past two years I have been nearly symptom-free. I attribute this to two things - using the principles you set out in Eating for IBS and the IBS Audio Program 100tm hypnosis tapes. Your cookbook and tips have helped immensely with understanding what the triggers are and dealing with them before they get out of control. While I was skeptical about the benfits of the hypnosis tapes, I used them just as prescribed for 100 days and have been nearly symptom-free since. Thank you so much for helping me and others with IBS. You should know that I have been able to travel to Ireland (4 times) and various destinations in the United States over the past two years without a single accident. Kathy W.
