Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Essential Oils & Body Cleansing

While I realize that IBS is a long term situation, I also am seeking more stability. For what scares me most is when I have a NEW symptom. For example, just recently I had the symptom of feeling the need to "go" even after I already just did so! This is such an unpleasant feeling.

Is Immodium the answer? What do people use for such a feeling?

Anyway, the theme of this post is essential oils and cleansing. I am doing the mainstream lousy medical path where the doctor by rote says "eat fiber" and eyes the clock so that our glorious profit motive medical system ensures he/she doesn't give us more than our allocated 9.5 minutes before rushing off to the next client.

However, I have a dear friend whose daughter was born with tremendous physical problems, missing enzymes and horrid chemical unbalances. Finally, last year she was so pumped full of mainstream medicine drugs that she was comotose and mainstream medicine's answer was "put her in a rest home for the rest of her life" (she is 18).

My friend found out about an alternative health center near Salt Lake City that cleanses the body and applies essential oils. She was taken there by ambulance and left after 2 weeks conscious and of her own volition. She is now in the local care of homeopathic doctors. They came to visit me recently, and her daughter WON our Monopoly Game. My friend said "That center literally saved her life".

I am going to try this, perhaps not as a cure for IBS, but to see if it can offer me more than Bentyl and a yawn from the medical establishment. They have a program for IBS. When you go there you are assigned a doctor for 2 solid weeks and they go through an entire program of cleansing and diagnosis. They test your blood and take you through paces. Can it hurt? I hope not. Seems the worst it could do is just flare up a "D" attack, but that's bound to happen with cleansing anyway. Strange thing, but several people have gone through this program that I have met, and they were shocked at what came out of their posterior in the intense cleaning: worms and parasites that made them gag. Supposedly 50% of us have such parasites and do not even know it, since Americans think our food and water is so pure (cue the laugh track, please).

Well, That's my next step - 2 weeks of focus from the alternative medical establishment in a full time clinic. Cost? Probably around $5000. Happily, I am having this paid for by a benefactor who loves me very much.

We must look beyond the mainstream medical establishment because THEY DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS! Yes, we must be very wary because the world is full of con men who will take the dime away from the last cancer patient by offering them false hope. But I have seen what this center has done for a dieing girl, and I am willing to trust them enough to see what they might be able to teach me about my body and seeking a higher stability.

I leave for 2 weeks on 7-25.

Note: I won't give the name of the center because I am not sure that is allowed in this forum and I do not want this post to sound like a commercial, since it isn't! I am just 1 guy trying to find help in a world that is just not set up to help us very well. The other night NBC news was saying how terrible it was that 20 million Americans have asthma. I agree, but indignantly thought "Well, if 20% of Americans have IBS, that translates to 70 MILLION People, but no one brings this up!"

We have to care for ourselves.
