Syl, I was the first person to work with Michael, heance the tapes on Heathers forum and on the IBS self help group and others. He is awesome and has helped me more then anyone and really understand IBS for someone who doesn't actually have it. I have also done a lot of research with DR Palssons help at the UNC, where they do actual research on it and follow Dr Whorewell who was the one who started to use it first more then 20 years ago. I then went on to seriously research the matter. It helps with stress and anxiety, but those are side effects of doing it, it also helps in many other ways, although the exact methods it helps are still not totally understood, I feel its important for people to know, its not that it helps just stress and anxiety although that is very important as well.
One thing to know in this study
"In a British study of 204 patients in which more than two-thirds of them were initially helped by hypnotherapy, 81 percent of those maintained the improvement up to five years after the treatment. Learning to practice stress-reduction and relaxation techniques can be as helpful as learning which foods to avoid.

Up to five years after treantment. It has to be making more changes then stress and anxiety reductions. I know some of the reasons if anyone is interested.
