I'm not sure he knows which end is up concerning IBS. He posts information from Dr Esther Sternberg that claims that the brain is on the receiving end of intestinal dysbiosis, but then the next day he claims that this has nothing to do with it.His experts are of two persuasions:1. IBS is psychosomatic...2. IBS is due to defective neurotransmitters... (keep in mind that the drug companies are paying them big bucks to chase down this blind alley)Dr Drossman was past president of the American Psychosomatic Society. i think these are the same people who used to blame a mother's aloof emotional state for a child's autism. I think they are also the same people who used to think that ulcers were caused by too much stress.to be fair, i think that it is safe to say that it would be foolish to completely ignore the emotional aspect of illness. I don't have a problem with a little HT or some other neurotechnology, but to ignore the gut flora is just plain foolish.
