Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by playtherapy: Why do so many Conservative posters seem to have a bad case of IBS?
Not every conservative here, but the hateful ones…
Yes, I know we have our own, but I’d venture the larger percentage of hate spiel comes from these folks (larger than the liberal hate spiel).

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Thanks for demonstrating my point.
Definitely goes both ways but as I posed and perhaps its my bias- why does it seem mostly Conservative?

Question by Freda W: What to do with too many doctors and not enough answers for chronic fatigue syndrome. Any suggestions?
I’ve been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome by my GP when he doesn’t really believe the condition exists. Therefore he’s not treating me for it. Initial ekg and pulse-ox tests were normal, so no cardiologist or pulmonologist referrals.
Over the past few years, I’ve been to a Asthma/Allergist for seasonal allergies, a Hematologist for anemia, GI for irritable bowel syndrome and GERD, a GYN resulting in a partial hysterectomy, and a psychiatrist for depression and anxiety, all in hopes of treating my fatigue. None of these have helped, I’m still thoroughly exhausted all the time.
I can’t work, in the traditional sense, but told I’m not disabled. I don’t know what to do. Every online, work-at-home job turns out to be a scam.
I’m at my wits end…any suggestions?

you could try private doctors who look at this problem seriously and are upto date with new medical research and treatment options-many of these doctors think there is a strong link between cfs and infection-
study the website below for more information-there seems to be newish research to back up many of their claims

Question by Amy: Diet and disease: How many of the diseases we experience in America are caused by the food we eat?
How much are we spending on healthcare to treat diet-caused illnesses?

From the book Eat To Live by Joel Furhmen, MD:

..”People are completely unaware that most illnesses are self-induced and can be reversed with aggressive nutritional methods. …The medical-pharmaceutical business has encouraged people to believe that health problems are hereditary and that we need to swallow poisons to defeat our genes. This is almost always untrue.

“…My clinical experience over the past ten years has shown me that almost all the major illnesses that plaque Americans are reversible with aggressive nutritional changes designed to undo the damage caused by years of eating a disease-causing diet. ….These conditions…can be effectively prevented or treated through superior nutrition. As their medical problems gradually melt away, patients can be slowly weaned off the medications they have been prescribed.”

“Dietary-Caused Illnesses with High Prevalence”:

–acne
–appendicitis
–atherosclerosis
–diabetes (adult)
–fibromyalgia
–gout
–high blood pressure
–irritable bowel syndrome
–macular degeneration
–sexual dysfunction
–allergies
–asthma
–constipation
–diverticulosis
–gallstones
–headaches
–hypoglemic symptoms
–kidney stones
–musculoskelatal pain
–stroke
–angina
–arthritis
–colonic polyps
–esophagitis
–gastritis
–indigestion
–lumbar spine syndromes
–osteoperosis
–uterine fibroids

“Not only are common disorders such as asthma associated with increased body weight and our disease-causing diet, but in my experience these diseases are also curable with superior nutrition in the majority of cases. Asthma is an exampleof a disease considered irreversable that I watch resolve regularly. My patients routinely make complete and *predictable* recovery from these illnesses, predominantly through aggressive dietary changes. …Diseases that are considered irreversible I see reversed on a daily basis.”

I’m not sure of the statistics but I imagine that about a pennies worth of time and attention for every hundred dollars spent on modern medicine would repair the damage if wisdom were applied instead of technology.
