The chronic pain from IC seeks a solution but you are told that the “dis-ease is treatable not curable”
But what would it be like if there was a solution? Is it possible? We are led to believe a lie, when we give up hope And obviously there is no quick fix or IC wouldn’t be a problem But what would it be like to have your life back? Too hard to believe? Well read on
The experience amongst IC patients is that the diet promoted by ICA or ICN may work for some, not for others Sometimes works for awhile then seems to not work What gives? Anecdotal experience at best would be the first thing that comes to mind from such diet recommendations
The energy science views foods as qualities not molecules This is a complete divergence from mainstream medical thinking And it stems from how we view the human biology If we see the mindbody as a group of molecules as well as the food we consume then are limiting ourselves We know from E=mc2 that matter and energy are interchangeable at a constant So what is matter is energy and what is energy is matter We are simultaneously both a particle and a wave form The current medical model sees only the human biology as a matter field
And so the dietary recommendations that you follow are molecular based So the matter science states that it’s the molecule of acid in the urine brings about the symptoms of IC Eliminate acid provoking foods and the IC is cleared Ah, if it were that simple!
From an energy perspective the IC pain comes from too much of the hot quality and the frequency of urination comes from too much of the mobile quality When we eat foods that contain these qualities in abundance you get out of balance and dis-ease occurs
The first thing to do is to find out who you are from an energy science point of view Although not perfect this quiz will help you determine who you are from an energy science view This is very important because for some a particular food may be balancing for some and completely imbalancing for someone else A good example of this is the tomato For PV completely unacceptable and for PK ok in moderation
The second thing to do is to follow the nutritional format based on the results of the quiz There are clear instructions as to how to do that at the site foodsheal.com
The third is to begin CCF tea(cumin coriander and fennel seeds in equal proportions together in a plastic bag) by taking a bunch and steeping it in hot water and then sipping on this tea all day CCF is energetically medicinal to the urinary tract and you guessed it, they all are overall cooling to the urinary channel!

read moreA “flare” is a common phrase used in IC circles to describe the sudden occurrence of pain around voiding It can also describe the pelvic pain associated with the burning and frequency of urination that can be part of the recurrent symptom complex so characteristic of interstitial cystitis
You may remember the graph on the home page near the bottom If not go check it out now because it will show you the ups and downs of ANY dis-ease in the physiology Even acute conditions such as renal colic from urinary stones or appendicitis have these ups and downs through their period of dis-ease But chronic dis-eases such as IC as you know have their ups and downs as well And these ups are called flares when there is an upswing A sudden change in dis-ease or loss of the balanced steady state
But what would it be like to gradually be free of the flares? If you resolved your flares it would free you up for so many other things that you want to accomplish in your life If interested read on
Almost universally survey respondents voiced their disbelief that there was not a determined scientific causation by the urological community What can be done to get help?
Our current molecular medical model states that the molecule causes the disease One quote from a survey respondent was “That the pain gets out of control, I stress, I cry and then it gets worse because of the acid pouring into my bladder” This comment underlies the premise by the current healing model that the acid molecule causes the pain
No question that acid causes the pain And no question that if a change is diet takes the acid out that molecule then the flares will resolve End of story IC is fixed But unfortunately that’s not the case You know that by experience
Since Einstein made his elegant mathematical observation E=mc2 matter and energy are recognized as interchangeable at a constant Because of this new understanding of nature as a scientific world community we are able to put men in space, explore Mars, and enjoy Facebook! But the world of biological healing is woefully mired in the matter science world of Newtonian physics
If we put on our energy science glasses to view the human physiology we begin to see not molecules but energy patterns that express themselves as qualities Qualities become the footprints of the biological energy field
For example, words you use contain the clues as to what qualities are occurring in the physiology “Flare” is one such example When you use that word what comes up for you? Heat, hot, a blast of heat And by the way, what do we say when voiding occurs It’s burning again suggesting the hot quality
So the current matter or molecular model measures molecules and how they cause disease The energy science model sees dis-ease in terms of qualities Too much hot represents an imbalance somewhere in inner space Dis-ease is an imbalance of qualities
If people are sick some might feel a bit uneasy if they asked their surgeon why he thought they had appendicitis and he responded, “No particular reason I’d just like to operate this afternoon” We all want to have confidence in the thinking that goes on behind the scenes in medical decision making particularly when it comes to ME All healing disciplines should give us that confidence
And when the healing discipline we are using isn’t fixing our painful flare we would like to know why(I would hope but then again people do surprise us) I contend we have the wrong model for healing certain chronic dis-eases, in this case IC
The reason that this energy versus molecular medical healing model issue is so important is that it’s the difference between having painful flares and living a life that is free of them This may seem like an outlandish statement but it is true You just have to trust the process Fortunately as you do this energy science work it brings faith and with that more trust
If you’re interested in gradually eliminating flares in your life the first thing to do is: Take responsibility for your healing This means that when you are looking at a food choice that is in the NO column that you consciously make the choice to avoid the food And remember, this is about baby steps If you haven’t signed up to be part of our growing IC community looking at healing IC not just treating it and getting the free report that will get you started

read moreThis is a review of the summary of responses that we received from IC patients who were willing to spend their time to discuss the distressing pain of IC as well as the repercussions of the pain Dr Bill also was able to interview more than 50% of the survey respondents who graciously gave their time to talk with him regarding their difficulties with the dis-ease
Here are the questions:
1 What’s your biggest frustration with interstitial cystitis?
Most common response was the unrelenting pain
2. What have you tried so far that hasn’t worked for you?
This was the entire gamut from mainstream urology to all forms of alternative therapies
DMSO with and without hydrodistention Most reported significant pain
Botox
PT Pelvic floor therapy
Tens unit
InterStim
Acupuncture
Tirgger point injections
Antibiotics
Diet
Meditation
Medication Elmiron hydroxyzine detrol amitryptaline prozac vag suppositories
Lyrica urelle (1 respondant) homeopathy pyridium neurontin vicodin
Vitamins
General categories antispasmodics pain meds instillations antidepressants
3. What’s your biggest fear when it comes to interstitial cystitis?
That there is no end to the pain and never to have a normal life again; fear of embarrassment of not being able to make it to a restroom in time; bladder failure; loss of intimacy
4. What worries you – what are you afraid will happen if you don’t do something immediately?
The pain will get worse; possibility of losing one’s mind; embarrassment
5. What would you be willing to do to improve interstitial cystitis?
Anything almost universal response
6. If you could have one question answered about interstitial cystitis, what would it be?
What causes this dis-ease?
The interviews carried out tell a much more in depth story of the incredible suffering that goes on in a person’s life with this dis-ease Listen to some quotes:
“Intuitively I believe I am producing IC but I don’t know what it is that I’m doing to cause my pain”
“Imagine doctor, that someone puts a lit torch up your penis and then asks you to function during the day without being distracted by it The problem emotionally feels that there is a giant millstone around the neck”
“There is NO ESCAPE from IC It’s there every morning to greet my day It invades every area of my life My marriage, friendships, children, all my relationships My SANITY It is an invisable enemy, as I look great on the outside but suffer un-bearably at times on the inside Which of course NO ONE can see”
“I urgently rush to the toilet barely making it, a small amount of voiding occurs I stand up and as I pull up the zipper I feel like I have to go again It’s a miserable feeling”
“At my worst I want to die”
“Everything worries you when you have IC”
“That the pain gets out of control, I stress, I cry and then it gets worse because of the acid pouring into my bladder”
“Takes a toll on my soul”
“With cancer either get better or die With IC there is no end to the symptoms Suffering goes on and on Most chronic disesases don’t give symptoms There is at times tremendous compassion from urologists and doctors but they can’t do anything about it”
There were stories as well About a mom being at a soccer game watching her son but in extreme pain because there was no public restroom nearby Or the fear of not being able to attend your daughter’s wedding because the pain was so severe There was the story of attempted suicide due to loss of desire to continue to live due to the unrelenting pain and loss of relationships
Almost all interviews underscored the lack of understanding by those close as mirrored in the quotes Also there was a sense of hopelessness shared not only by the IC patient but by their physicians and urologists since the dis-ease is treatable but not curable Disillusionment occurs with treatments since therapies fail – one more hope dashed
Loss of womanhood surfaced a number of times There was feeling that even though attractive, one was “damaged goods” and that intimacy was dead Failed relationships occur due to lack of understanding spouse
Inability to plan times with their children, make social outings with friends, and the interference of career, sometimes leading to the end of one There was an underlying theme by many of guilt, feeling that they had in some way causing their problems
Freedom was the common denominator when questions about needs came up It seems obvious but there are so many aspects of what freedom meant to the interviewees Such things as “Life would have potential again so we can fulfill our purpose and ambition” and “Miraculous if I could be normal cant be in the Jacuzzi because afraid of UTI”
There was also the aspect of being able to contribute again with comments such as “Would revisit purpose of life because with IC I lose perspective about life and purpose” and ”Life would have potential again so we can fulfill our purpose and ambition”
Due to the pain some felt that they “would develop trust in making decisions because with pain symptoms you’re making decisions based on pain” So there would be better mental clarity and judgment with the loss of pain
This is not meant to be a litany of sadness but an understanding of those afflicted with this dis-ease It is one of sadness, despair, despondency, and misery All of this can be summed up with great compassion and empathy for those who have this imbalance
