Digestive disorders are the fifth most common issues that my clients come to me for (behind fatigue, pain, anxiety and depression). However, most people suffering from these conditions also experience digestive disorders, so it means that every course I run has people who are dealing with IBS, food intolerances or other digestive conditions. I have seen huge numbers of clients resolve these conditions.
The number one cause is STRESS!
If you are in an acute stress phase (for example, there is a tiger about to attack you!), your body chooses to empty your bowel, bladder and stomach really fast so that you will be able to run faster to get away from the tiger. This is why people often have diarrhoea before an exam, or some similarly stressful situation.
If you have a chronic low grade stress response happening in your body, your body is permanently diverting energy away from your digestive system so that it has more energy available for heart, lungs and limbs, in case you need to run away from that tiger. Ongoing depletion of your digestive system leads to many digestive problems such as nausea, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea and food intolerances.
Sometimes, people are still reacting to a previous emotional trauma and this can also affect digestion.
The Switch is a ideal course for resolving a wide range of digestive problems.
Across four days (in a small group of eight people), you will learn about the role of stress in digestive disorders, how your own thinking patterns and beliefs are exacerbating that stress, and techniques to switch off the stress to allow your body to heal naturally.
You will also have the opportunity to identify underlying emotional causes to your bowel problems and release those also. Once the emotions have cleared, digestion usually calms down quite quickly.
Around 80-90% of digestive disorder clients report great improvements to digestion and an ability to eat a wider range of foods again.

* Disclaimer: Mel Abbott is not a medically trained doctor. She is trained in psychology and neuro-linguistic programming. She uses mind-body interventions to help calm the stress response and allow natural healing to occur in the body. This can be used alongside mainstream treatments if you choose. She does not offer diagnoses or medication advice. She recommends that clients return to their doctors after her treatment to confirm that they no longer have their condition and to be advised about safe weaning from their medication.
Mel does careful assessments prior to the programme and only offers places to people whom she thinks would benefit from it. She follows up with all her clients at several junctions after their course and collates the data from their feedback forms to produce the statistics on this website. She is therefore confident that her interventions are helping over 80% of her clients to achieve significant improvements to their health. While many clients report that they have made a full recovery, Mel cannot guarantee this outcome. So far there are no independent research studies or peer reviewed journal articles about The Switch®, though she would welcome such studies to take place.
