First of all, there is NO CURE for IBS. Period. The best you can do is manage your symptoms effectively, which is totally possible. That said...
"Step 3" isn't there, so I don't know for sure, but most of the advice there is the exact same advice that Heather gives here on the site. The only difference is that they leave a few things out that are key to stabilizing your IBS - most notably, the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber foods. But also, I think that their idea to eat 3 times a day, no snacks, is crap. If you're eating small meals, as they recommend, you NEED those snacks in between or you're not going to be consuming enough calories to keep your body going.
I also don't agree that everyone needs to avoid gluten. Celiac disease and gluten intolerance can be tested for. If you don't have it, you don't need to avoid gluten.
But their advice for eating smaller meals, and for what foods to eliminate from your diet, is sound advice. You'll also want to eliminate excess oils and fats in all food... not just avoiding fast food, but salad dressings and marinades, oil and margarine in recipes, and things like that are all culprits as well.
So now that I've rambled on  - the basic gist is that while their information isn't bad, you'd probably be helped a lot more by following the advice here on this site and in Heather's books, which is a lot more detailed. You won't be "cured", but you will get your symptoms under control as long as you stick with it, which is as close as you're going to get to a cure. I can vouch for it personally, and I know there's quite a few people around here who can as well.
