Here is something you may find interesting. After that announcement by at DDW Vlieger and colleagues published their findings in 2007 in the peer-reviewed journal Gastroenterology. There was no mention of hypnotherapy being a cure. It was definitely shown to be highly effective.
Recently they reported the findings of a five year follow up on the 52 children used in the original study in a Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition journal. They found "The effects of gut-directed hypnotherapy are long lasting in children with FAP or IBS with two thirds still in remission 5 years after treatment."
Thirty-three percent of the children fell out of remission. While hypnotherapy is an excellent tool it appears it shouldn't be called a cure just yet.
