Resolution

for IBS, and other irritable and inflammatory bowel disorders

What is the link between IBS and migraine?

Resolution is a new technique that reduces many symptoms and conditions.  At first, it was used for migraine, and then it was discovered that the same technique worked for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and many more conditions.   People who had mastered the technique for migraine began to use it for many of their other problems, like tension, S.A.D (seasonally affected disorder), dips and sudden changes in mood e.g. outbursts of bad temper. 

At first, it was simply amazing.  We couldn't understand why it was working for so many different symptoms.  I had never made any link between migraine and IBS.  I couldn't see any connection.  The symptoms were so entirely different. 

One day, I discovered that there was a similarity - Research has found that they both began with a wave of neurological activity.  This can be seen by researchers when electrodes pick up these surges of electricity that discharge into the area and set of an attack.  It still left many questions unanswered.  Why do these surges of electricity begin in the first place?

Resolution is a technique that gradually reduces these pulses of electriticy until they stop.  That is why Resolution works for both IBS and migraine. Even more intriguing was the vast number of symtpoms and conditions that also seem to begin with a wave of neurological activity - see the list at the top of the home page! 

I wonder if some of us have simply over-enthusiastic generators!

When NWS affects the Gastro-intestinal (GI) tract :

Severe Indigestion

It seems that all parts of the gastro-intestinal tract can become affected by NWS, even the stomach.

Sharon was in the first few weeks of Resolution when she began to experience severe indigestion.  Even though she was taking a whole pack of indigestion tablets a day, it was still raging.  Sharon had never encountered this before in her life, and she had made an appointment to see her GP. 

During the next telephone coaching session, I realised that this could be the migraine ‘moving around’.  Sharon tried using the programme directly on it.  In just a few moments, the indigestion seemed to disappear. 

Subsequently, many other sufferers told of how they had suffered severe indigestion at times.  Most people found that their symptoms responded to Resolution, and I realised that the wave of neurological activity could follow any nerve to any part of the body, including the stomach.

Any of the nerves that serve the Gastro-intestinal tract can be affected. Wherever a nerve ‘fires off’ it causes an irritation at best, or inflammation and tissue damage at worst.  The first effects of neurological wave activity are irritation, and alteration in the normal behaviour of these areas.  The most commonly experienced IBS symptoms are so frequently seen, that doctors are not usually concerned. 

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is often experienced as a selection from a range of symptoms.  An attack usually begins with a feeling of discomfort from the abdomen or the duodenum.  Some people feel pain, but others feel more of an ache. The pain can also be searing pain, even causing people to have to crouch or sit down if they are outside. It usually subsides after a few minutes.   Shortly afterwards, there is usually flatulence and/or diarrhoea.  For many people, once they have emptied their bowels several times, their system settles down.

They can suffer other symptoms too

Some people also experience other NWS symptoms, like the terrible migraine headache. This can happen just while they are having diarrhoea, and they can't understand this sudden terrible pain in their head.  They believe, just for a moment, that they are having a stroke.

Often IBS people also suffer a feeling of panic.  This feeling can herald the beginning of an attack, and people describe it like "something flips inside" of them.  Some describe it as a feeling of ‘butterflies’ but much amplified. This is then followed by other symptoms of anxiety - palpitations or breathlessness, even to the point of bringing on an asthma attack. 

Migraine sufferers sometimes have a few symptoms of IBS

Conversely, some migraine sufferers experience abdominal pain and/or diarrhoea as symptoms of a migraine attack. Some temporary change in bowel movements is common for migraine sufferers. 

The official view

In the medical profession, IBS has not been officially directly linked to migraine, although a few clinicians have suspected it because they have noticed that these two conditions seem to appear concurrently.  A recent study showed that migraine sufferers were more likely to have IBS at some stage in their lives.  In my experience of the Resolution Programme, IBS has shown itself to be a common symptom, forming one of the NWS patterns.  

The neural activity can move from one area to another

One of the routines in the Resolution Programme involves chasing symptoms away.  Once underway with the Resolution Programme, people are able to chase their migraine out of the head, and on chasing the migraine out of the head, it has often moved to a different place.   One client reported that she went through a phase of beating the migraine out of her head for five minutes, then her bowel for five minutes, alternatively. It was like a game of cat and mouse for a short while, until it gave up!

Can emotions instigate IBS?

IBS is a very common condition. The bowel is easily influenced by our emotions. One person may find that they have diarrhoea before exams, yet not at any other time. Another person may respond to being bullied at work by having constipation. Any stressful situation may be accompanied by a change in bowel habit. Even in a de-stress situation, people may notice a change and some people blame an altered bowel habit on the 'change of water' when they go on holiday. 

When 'normal' everyday occurrences begin to influence bowel habits in a distressing way, causing pain, flatulence, bloating and urgent diarrhoea, this can become debilitating. This is the condition known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

What if food types are causing the problem?

To a certain extent, there may be some foods that are not tolerated by your system.  Resolution allows you to discover how far you can eat these foods.  Some people have found they cannot tolerate wheat every day - but when they use the programme they can tolerate it once in a while.

Medical terms for irritation and inflammation of the bowel

There are many medical terms used for irritation or inflammation of the bowel. They are all caused by over- reactions of the bowel to emotions, together with reactions to some food types. In all of these conditions.

The IBS Resolution Programme teaches the bowel to 'disregard' these challenges, not to react, so that it can return back to normal.

IBS Symptoms and related conditions

There are many different parts to the intestines, and any of them can be affected by NWS and eventually become inflamed. 

Diverticulitis

Rings of muscles that create peristalsis (the wave of contraction that pushed food through the digestive tract) lie parallel to each other all the way down through the bowel. When the bowel becomes over-full, the rings are pushed further apart. Food can then begin to compact in between the rings, and form huge pouches of food material.   When the bowel 'catches up' with itself, these pouches empty normally.

However, sometimes these pouches become inflamed. Perhaps they are objecting to the gluten inside the pouches, or it has been suggested they object to too much red meat. Diverticulitis is the term given to inflammation of the diverticuli. Drugs are sometimes prescribed to calm the inflammation, but a change in the diet could also help. 

The Resolution Programme may help people with diverticulitis to allow their systems to relax, and then return back to normal. 

Diarrhoea

Many people suffer from inconvenient diarrhoea, and this may be their only symptom. They may not worry about it unduly, as they know it is linked to certain situations, like exams, late nights, or social occasions. However, knowing that the inconvenience will happen in these situations does not really make it any better. 

Other people suffer terribly from daily diarrhoea, and this can affect the general health. The large bowel absorbs iron and other minerals, and this requires time.

Constipation

People suffer from constipation often as a result of being intimidated or afraid, finding themselves in strange or disorientating circumstances, or facing a new challenge, like exams!  Children often get in their first days at school, and many people find they are constipated when they go into hospital for an operation.  Some nurses may believe that almost everyone in the world must be constipated because everyone that goes in for an operation or treatment seems to be constipated!

 People who suffer from constipation are usually advised to eat more roughage. Some often end up sprinkling bran on to everything they eat, (as I once did) and they are distressed because they are still not going to the toilet. When I suggest they avoid all extra roughage when they are constipated, people are horrified!  They believe they will never ever go to the loo again unless they eat huge quantities of roughage. 

Part of the remedy for constipation has to involve the removal of anxiety factors. Resolution goes one step further by re-educating the system to ignore anxiety factors.

Crohn’s disease

The dictionary describes Crohn’s as a condition where parts of the intestine become inflamed, and ulcerated.  The area this affects can be the terminal part of the ileum, and the symptoms can seem like appendicitis. Other areas can have inflammation, and there can be symptoms of malabsorption of nutrients.

Crohn’s is generally differentiated from IBS in that it involves some inflammation and ulcers, whereas IBS is generally regarded as simply ‘irritation’ of the bowel.

Really, what we are seeing here, as with all of these different terms, is an area of the bowel that is receiving the Neurological Waves of electricity that are causing electrocution, pain, and ultimately, tissue damage.  The stronger the waves, the worse the condition.

After the patient has been suffering for a long time, there is often so much damage that a part of the bowel is removed.  As a result, some patients have to use a colostomy bag to collect stools.

Ulcerative Colitis

Inflammation and ulceration of the large intestine that causes bleeding into the rectum is identified by blood in the stools. 

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

This is defined as "an absence of other diagnosis". Clients MUST have consulted a GP to eliminate any serious problem before they begin the IBS Resolution programme.  Ovarian cancer can appear first as IBS, as does bowel cancer. One symptom of bowel cancer is rapidly changing bowel habits, but this is also typical of IBS. There is no test for IBS. This condition is so common that GP's will often look for other significant signs before they refer patients for further tests.

The discovery that Resolution would also work for IBS was an important milestone in the Resolution story.  The day I discovered the link was one of the most important days in my life. 

I could have fallen off my seat.  There it was, right in front of me, the answer to a question I had been asking for years.  Ever since I had discovered that there was a way to become migraine-free I had wondered if I could ever find a way to solve the problem of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  Just by chance, in November 2005, I came across this book about common medical conditions.  Leafing through the book, I noticed a chapter on IBS, and as a long-term sufferer, I wondered if I would be able to discover something I didn’t already know.  Half way down the first page I came across the words,  “IBS begins with a wave of neurological activity…”  I was amazed and excited.  I couldn’t wait for the next time my IBS would begin, so that I could try out my Resolution technique on this reaction.

My own experience of IBS

My first experience of IBS began when I was a teenager, but I did not think it was at all worrying, as it only happened after I had stayed up all night.  When I was eighteen years old, I joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS).  My job as a meteorological observer meant that I worked a night shift every fourth night.  The following day I would sleep for five hours, and I felt fine, except for having diarrhoea.  This was a habit that my system acquired, but I had no way of stopping it.  If I ever stayed up very late at night, or had disturbed sleep, I would usually get the reaction.  This habit continued until 2006.

One day when I was shopping in Liverpool, I had to rush to the loo.  This was the first time that I had experienced diarrhoea other than after a night shift.  Looking back, I now realize that the triggers for my IBS were increasing. 

When I was only just 20 years old, my mother, who was fit and well as far as anyone could tell, suddenly died of a brain haemorrhage.  It was a horrendous time, and soon afterwards I noticed a new pain in my duodenum, which was alleviated by resting.  This pain later heralded an IBS attack.  I now believe this was my first reaction to wheat, my IBS had found yet another trigger.  For five years I managed really well, coping with diarrhoea after a night shift, and the occasional ‘unusual’ bowel pain. 

In 1976 I had my first baby, and this was a traumatic experience.  I began to get bouts of diarrhoea and vomiting more regularly over the next five years, and it seemed as though I just got back to eating normally before the next one would happen.  My GP seemed to know little of IBS, and he assumed it was a succession of tummy-bugs.  I lost a great deal of weight, and I was very weak.  One day I really thought I wasn’t going to have the strength to walk up the hill to get home.  I was really worried, but I didn’t know what to do. The GP insisted it was all due to ‘tummy-bugs’.  As time went on, I gained a little strength, and I could keep food inside me for longer periods of time, providing I avoided eating when I was not at home.  In a restaurant I would immediately have to run to the loo after eating, and then when I got home I would begin to vomit until my system was completely empty.   I began to lie down after every meal at home, to try to keep some food inside of me, and it helped. I managed to regain some strength, and slowly became more ‘normal’, and then I existed with either constipation or diarrhoea for the following ten years.  I then gave up wheat, and later, all cereals, and this helped me to remain reasonably healthy.  I only had IBS when I was tired or upset, so that was much better!

When I discovered in November 2005 that IBS begins with a wave of neurological activity, (as does migraine) I couldn’t wait to try out the Resolution technique. I was so excited at the prospect of being able to help people with IBS. I wondered how long it would take to reduce these symptoms, and I felt lucky that I still had them so that I could try Resolution on myself! 

I didn’t have to wait long. A few nights later, I was up in the middle of the night, writing my book, when that old familiar pain began.  Normally, my first instinct was to shift my position, in case I had ‘creased’ a part of my bowel.  This time, I didn’t move a muscle; I sat in exactly the same position.  I began directing the Active session right at the pain.  In a few seconds it disappeared.  I carried on working at the computer.  I waited for the diarrhoea and flatulence.  There was none!  I couldn’t believe it.  Perhaps it was a fluke, but where had it gone?

I couldn’t wait to try it a second time, and then a third, and each time the same thing happened.  I wondered what was happening.  I realised that the diarrhoea or the flatulence didn’t cause the pain of my IBS, as I had believed all these years. 

The pain was caused solely by the zap of electrical discharge, the wave of neurological activity. 

Resolution teaches the body not to react.  I had stopped the wave of electricity.

The Resolution Programme has three Components

- Relaxation Sessions, Active Sessions and Telephone Coaching

The Resolution Programme consists of two sets of mental exercises; the "Relaxation Session" and the "Active Sessions".  These will be sent to you, or you can download the MP3 files, and the written notes will be posted or e-mailed to you.

The tutorial will take you less than one hour in total.  The first 20-minute CD contains the "Relaxation exercises" - but you will not be 'relaxing' these unwanted feelings away.  Once you have listened to the first CD, and followed the guided exercises on it, you will begin the second part of the process.  Guided by the telephone coaching, you will be taught very simple techniques that will re-educate your system. 

You will need to re-read the material, or listen to the audio occasionally as a reminder.

Mental Exercises

The subconscious works for us in many ways, running our automatic systems of the body for us, storing our experiences as memories, and also storing our daily skills for us, like driving or typing on a keyboard, so that we can do them 'without thinking'.  The subconscious, far from being locked away inside our brains, is working and active all of the time.  It can learn new skills, store new memories, and change the automatic systems of our physical bodies.  So often, these three areas overlap and influence each other.  Resolution teaches you to use a set of simple exercises to re-educate your own subconscious so that it changes the reactions of the automatic nervous system. 

Relaxation Session

During the Relaxation session, various guided mental exercises are done while you simply relax.  It is a very pleasant experience.  The relaxation session only requires to be done once, but it can be repeated without detriment, and possibly with a little extra benefit.  The Relaxation Session is available on a CD, or MP3 so that you can listen to it in your own armchair at home, and let your own subconscious do the work! 

Active Sessions

Active Sessions are the second part of Resolution, and  consist of an easily learnt set of simple mental exercises that have to be repeated to remind the system to change until it behaves correctly.  When there are no symptoms, you do nothing at all.

Telephone Coaching

Without the telephone coaching, you are unlikely to get through this programme. For this reason, I recommend everyone to opt for the 'full package'. You will receive regular telephone coaching sessions, beginning weekly in the beginning.

Monitoring the success of the programme

Everyone is encouraged to keep a record of the intensity, duration and frequency of their symptoms.  A chart is provided in the pack.  Surprisingly, you will be able to watch how your symptoms - yes, all of your gastro-intestinal tract symptoms, will gradually diminish over a period of time. 

You are welcome to telephone to discuss your symptoms, and to speak to a past client from the panel.

Yes - there is a panel of past clients!

The panel is made up of many clients who have experienced Resolution, and have offered to speak to future clients.  They realise how difficult it is to believe that anything can help some conditions.  You can also read the case histories section for examples of these people.

Discover how other people have benefited from Resolution by reading the case histories, and watching the videos.

The videos of interviews on this website should be available in the case history section - if they fail to load, please send me an email.
