If you ever find yourself driving through a dense forest and you are on the only road through, and you are not sure where it is taking you, then you may have an idea of the concerns Irritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers confront each and every day.
As you drive along, you phone familiar people who should know the way but they are not sure. The Sat Nav says you are on the right road but a week ago it led you to a dead end.
You know where you want to be but you feel you may bypass your target.
What is beyond the bend ahead? In Irritable Bowel Syndrome, no one knows. The road ahead may be smooth and straight and the shortest distance to your destination. On the other hand it could be bumpy, tortuous and lead you away from your end point.
Hello! My name is Phil Hariram. I am a retired General Practitioner. I have spent over 27 years treating patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I have used conventional medicine, alternative therapy, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and acupuncture to treat IBS.
My views on Irritable Bowel Syndrome are not shared by the rest of the medical profession. Using hypnotherapy for treatment of various illnesses gave me an insight into the real problem that confronts IBS sufferers.
In this blog I will address all sides of the problem. I will outline the safe knowledge but importantly I will introduce ideas to challenge the conventional basis of why Irritable Bowel Syndrome is such a heavy burden to the sufferer, the health professionals and the health providers.
Either way I plan to make this blog interesting, fun and an invaluable resource for you.
Dr.Phil Hariram.
