Q. What can be done (naturally) about Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

A. Irritable bowel syndrome is a painful irritation of the bowel that results in having many frequent diarrhea-like bowel movements every day. The following are some things that can be done to address this problem and heal it naturally:

1) Follow the mucusless diet (no animal products and no refined or processed foods, just fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds as much raw as possible) and try to eat only organically grown foods. This avoids toxic and irritating substances.

2) Cleanse your elimination organs.

Complete detailed step-by-step instructions for cleaning out all the parasites, parasite eggs, disease germs, old fecal matter, the gum you swallowed when you were five, and everything else that is stuck in your colon and poisoning you right now are in my book "The Foundational Cleansing and Nourishing Program." This wonderfully useful book also reveals how to clean stones, fat, cholesterol, and toxic buildup out of your liver and get your kidneys working like they did when you were 16!

3) Try to notice what makes you worse and what makes you better and avoid the things that make you worse (e.g., foods, stress, occurrences, etc.) Simple enough!

4) Astringent herbs are wonderful for ending any case of diarrhea. Use the following herbs in tea form: tormentil, wild or domestic sunflower leaf, white oak bark, blackberry leaves and root bark, red raspberry leaf, yarrow leaf/flowers, bayberry bark, garden sage, mullein leaf, marshmallow leaf and root, nettle leaf, slippery elm bark, strawberry leaves, ginger, and plantain.

5) don't forget the water. In conditions such as these, you are losing large amounts of water so don't forget to replenish it with plenty of steam distilled water (one ounce of water per pound of body weight per day) about a gallon for an average adult, or more if you feel you need it.

6) Fasting - whenever your digestive tract is trying to empty itself out, LET IT! Your body knows exactly what it needs to do to get well and it will do just that if given the opportunity. Juice fasting is a marvelously effective and easy healing procedure and it allows your intestines to empty themselves out and take a rest while healing. This is made even more effective by drinking teas of the herbs mentioned below as part of the fast.
To do a fast, just stop eating all solid foods and drink at least a gallon of liquids (fresh fruit and vegetable juices, distilled water and herbal tea) each day. If you feel hungry, that's a sign that you need more liquids so drink up! Start with a short 1-2 day fast and increase by a day or two on each subsequent fast.
NOTE: The Liver should always be cleansed first before beginning any fast. Click here to claim your copy of "The Foundational Cleansing and Nourishing Program."

7) Use soothing herbs like slippery elm, licorice, marshmallow, chickweed, comfrey, peppermint, ginger, etc. to soothe irritation and calm the bowel. One good formula to use is a combination of 70% slippery elm powder and 30% licorice root powder. mix the powders together and add warm water (preferably distilled) slowly while stirring. Make into a paste and eat (it's very pleasant tasting); you can add some raw honey or real maple syrup if you like. Dr. Schultz's Intestinal Corrective Formula #2 is also good to use for slowing and calming the bowel.

8) Aloe Vera enemas - This is very simple, just get some aloe vera gel or juice and use a rectal syringe (the rubber bulb kind) to inject several ounces into the rectum. Hold it in for as long as possible before voiding it.

9) Use cleansing herbs to remove irritating, toxic materials from the body. There are so many of these... I'll just give a few examples here: Dandelion leaf, plantain leaf, Lilac leaf, yellow dock root, burdock root, red clover blossoms, wheat grass, barberry or Oregon Grape root bark, Echinacea, garlic, slippery elm, charcoal powder (mix a teaspoonful in water and drink on an empty stomach). Be sure to get all your herbs from a place that isn't sprayed with poisons!

10) Just say no to drugs - especially prescription drugs as many of them can cause severe digestive irritation and diarrhea as a side effect. Note: while some of these dangerous toxins (medications) can be discontinued immediately, there are some (e.g., Prozac, blood pressure drugs, insulin, etc.) that must be decreased very gradually over time. If you are unsure about the ones you're taking, ask a sympathetic doctor for help in weaning off of them.

11) Once you get your bowel calmed down, do a bowel cleanse with a gentle herbal bowel tonic like Dr. Christopher's Fen-LB formula, because there is likely to be a buildup of toxins and mucus in the tissues of your bowel that you will need to get rid of if you want to be well.

12) Get your flora in order - We all have beneficial bacteria in our bodies, particularly in our colons. If these good bacteria are killed with antibiotic drugs, colloidal silver, or consuming too much sugar and/or alcohol, many digestive disturbances, even very severe ones, can result. To restore your friendly flora, first, stay away from the things that kill them, then eat large amounts of fresh, raw, organically grown produce (they must be organically grown because conventional produce does not have these friendly flora). Be sure it's raw and that it doesn't come into contact with anything that would kill the good bacteria, like chlorine or antibacterial soaps. You won't be getting infected or anything, so don't worry, these are the beneficial kind, remember.
Another thing you can do is this: get some whole organic wheat berries and fill a glass about half full with them, then pour some steam distilled water (this is a must) over the wheat until it is covered by an inch or two. Let this sit (uncovered and at room temperature) overnight, come back the next day and pour off the water, add fresh water and let it sit for another day. When you come back the second day, the water should be bubbly and smell horribly rancid. Pour that liquid into a glass and drink it (yes, you can chase it with some fresh organic fruit or vegetable juice). Also inject 2-3 ounces of it rectally (into your behind) using a rubber bulb syringe. Hold it in if possible instead of voiding it. At least for a few minutes.
