Almost 5 million Americans suffer from IBS. There is no cure and very few traditional treatments - in fact, the latest drug was recently recalled after several patients died from its dangerous side effects! The good news is that all-natural, ancient Chinese medicine can help. In fact, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported a study that proved that Chinese herbs can have a dramatic effect on IBS. But most sufferers don't know this, and their doctors don't tell them, because they can't prescribe Chinese herbs and don't know how to refer their patients to a qualified Chinese herbalist. This book comes to the rescue. Leigh Fortson, who herself suffered from IBS and has kept it under control with Chinese medicine, presents advice on using Chinese herbs and acupuncture to heal IBS. She also explains the roots of illness in Chinese medicine and how one's emotional state can lead to physical symptoms. This book also includes interviews with Chinese doctors on their experiences healing IBS with herbs.
