Hypnosis addresses stress, one of the causal factors of inflammation, and has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms of functional gastrointestinal disorders in many patients.  Dr. Olafur Palsson at the University of North Carolina is one of the leading researchers in the area of hypnosis and IBS.  His website details his research and empirically supported hypnosis protocol for the treatment of IBS.  In addition to his training and certification in clinical hypnosis, Dr. Spiegel is one of a small number of health professionals in the Philadelphia area who are approved to administer Dr. Palsson's hypnosis protocol for IBS (http://www.ibshypnosis.com/IBSclinicians.html).
