So what can we do? What we can do is change our lifestyle or eating habits to whole natural foods. We can start now by eliminating refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, white flour products and cut back on red meat if not eliminate red meat completely form our diets, and start eating more whole natural foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, natural sweeteners and oils. This is what our body wants and needs to be healthy.

Even if you start by making one change a day towards eating whole natural foods, you are taking a step towards better health and having more energy. Not only will you gain more energy, but also you can lose weight in process. And it works because it is according to nature's laws. Happily eating whole natural foods and correcting my body's balance and function, I was able to heal from chronic skin condition I suffered with for seven years and in process lose 70 pounds.

Shhhhhhh, listen close, your body is talking to you. What is your body saying to you? Learn to listen close and to give your body what it needs to be healthy. Only you can make changes, there are no magic pills, and remember, you are what you eat! What you put in is what you get out. When you fuel your body with whole natural foods, your body will thank you for it and you will reap rewards.

Enough of bad news - there must be some good news, right?

Correct. There is some great, although little-publicised news for IBS sufferers. A clinical study, published in Journal of American Medical Association in 1998, reported long-lasting, side-effect free results, with a 64-76% improvement rate for IBS patients in treatment group.

These patients were treated using Chinese medical herbs (available in capsules). Not only were positive results dramatic, they were also long-lasting, with patients reporting significantly improved IBS symptoms 14 weeks after treatment.

My personal clinical experience has supported these findings. Chinese herbs can now be dispensed in capsules, or brought pre-made, and benefits for IBS patients is often life-changing
