Why has IBS research funding been slashed by government?

I believe the federal funding was cut due to our huge national debt.

As for your own issues with IBS, you may want to take a look at Xango. My mother-in-law tried and she experience a great amount of relief from her IBS symptoms. Here are some testimonials from people who saw relief from IBS after using Xango:

Janette --For years I was troubled. The problem only got worse. I was apprehensive about leaving the house in fear of an "episode." The doctor was on the verge of prescribing me a drug containing opiates. The episodes occurred 5-6 times a week. 6 weeks after beginning use of the whole fruit puree of mangosteen ... I was overjoyed to find myself FREE from IBS. Two years later, I'm am still loving the mangosteen and feeling wonderful.

In December of 2006 I had recently started getting shots for migraines and was really scared I was headed down the same path my younger sister has been on for the last 19 years. So, I decided to try the Mangosteen juice I had been sent information on. I have arthritis in my neck and I.B.S. (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Within 2 weeks I notice a difference in my neck and I have not had a head ache since. My IBS is under control. My whole family is on Mangosteen juice and I am telling everyone I know about Mangosteen juice

I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) a year and a half ago. I was always bloated, cramping, constipated and in severe pain. Not to mention gaining weight. I couldn't get relief from the prescription drugs I was on, neither could I afford them. I was introduced to Mangosteen juice by my beautician and have received great results. I am regular now and pain free. I also have good energy. I thank God for creating such a fruit that could naturally help all individuals. I will encourage anyone to try it and have faith.

It's a denier theory and one that demonstrates their lack of knowledge (see mikes answer) But one that holds little water, for a start a large portion of the data and research on the effects of climate change is not coming from climate scientists but glaciologists, marine scientists, geologists and even astronomers, it's a sad state of affairs when those pushing the denier line try to damage the credibility of the science community just to push their absurd collection of phony science and conspiracy theories. I guess they have no choice as they have only a handful of scientists and they have failed entirely to get most of these theories into the science journal system, which makes them look foolish so they have to play the "all the other scientists are on the take" card, it's the only card they have left as the evidence grows of the changes AGW is starting to cause. Science has some basics one of the most basic principles is you don't fake your data, and there is a well documented history of what has happened to the few who have been caught doing this, they are finished. Yet for this absurd denier theory to work, it would mean that many thousands of scientists would have to be 'in on it' and being paid off, do deniers seriously think such a thing could really work that some would not have second thoughts and talk, it's preposterous, the occasional side theory is it's just Hanson and a few others, tricking all the others, again this simply demonstrates how uninformed deniers really are. all these others are as well trained as Hansen and conducting their own parallel research. This is also the case with Mann's hockey stick graph while deniers chant over and over it's discredited or wrong, it has in fact been followed by many other efforts that have all found pretty much the same thing, deniers tend to not mention this. Denier seem to lean towards the Republicans side of things as this is were some of the rhetoric on denier emanates from in the U.S. but even here this story about government funding falls apart as the government in the U.S. has, over the last two decades, changed several times from Dem to Rep and back again and science has worked on the AGW issue no matter who was in power. This is also the case in both the U.K. and Australia. Why was this still funded even when the Reps were in power, not really that hard to work out they want the right wing vote and will say whatever they have to to get it, but they are not stupid they also have families and kids and grand kids, who will be affected by this like everyone else. A number of republicans like Ironhoof have spouted about conspiracies for years yet nothing has ever been done, simply there is not one shred of proof for any of these absurd denier theories and he knows it.

The most effective treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome is anti-depressants. Go get some.

it should be $0 of funding

No more money. Can't give what you don't have. *holds nose* good luck with that.

um - because we're bankrupt

besides - farting is fun
