IC and Healing Expectations: Redefining What It Takes to Heal

IC and Healing Expectations: Redefining What It Takes to Heal

AncientHealing for Modern Times

Would we think it unusual that someone involved in a severe car accident would walk out of the ICU in a couple of days looking well? In the same way would we think it ususual that someone with chronic disease would clear their symptoms in a couple of months?

In the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) illustrates various energetic imbalances in the energy mindbody while the matter science views the components of the syndrome as disease labels such as vulvodynia etc  When various energetic science therapies are used healing is elicited because therapies help correct the imbalance of qualities  For example, the qualities of hot and mobile over time get cleared from the body with therapies

It literally takes years to cultivate these imbalances due to unconscious lifestyle choices  Energy science work is not like taking an antibiotic for a few days and everything is better Wish it were that simple in the world of imbalances  But the question often arises as to how long do I have to do this work tp see benefits?

Foundational Therapies

Since all disease begins in the gastrointestinal tract(GIT) except for trauma nutrition that supports the energy constitutional makeup becomes foundational therapy for helping support a return to qualitative balance and eliminates imbalancing qualities in the GIT  For example if a VP has a diet rich in nightshades(tomato, eggplant, peppers) simply removing those from the diet can be an important step toward bringing balance

Observing the removal of incompatible food combinations is another foundational therapeutic step to aid the GIT to correct the imbalances of the hot and mobile qualities of the syndrome

Therapies that support improving agni(digestive power) also do this rebalancing because removing ama improves the rebalancing effort

But how long does it take for rebalancing?  Foods are instantaneous in terms of their effects in the GIT they have the most immediate impact on symptoms and within 7-10 days one can experience shifts in symptoms  But the time for these foundational therapies to do their magic is dependent upon how long the GIT has been imbalanced  The estimate is 2mo for every year of symptoms

 Advanced Therapies

There are clinical situations where the imbalance that was created is beyond simple nutritional work  In this setting there are more advanced therapies that are required in order to achieve the clearing of the qualitative imbalances developed  Typically the symptoms have gone beyond IC and have other aspects of the syndrome such as vulvodynia or fibromyalgia

Again these advanced therapies such as herbal formulas, basti management, and detoxification procedures are part of getting better but again require time  Oddly when the energy mindbody reaches this advanced stage of dis-ease the length of time remains the same…2mo for every year of symptoms, that is, if you’ve been having problems for 10 years then it will take one year and 4 months to progress to a symptom free state

Appropriate Expectations

So we can see that when we do energy science work to heal the IC syndrome it requires dedicated work on our part to maintain lifestyle changes that support the clearance  of the imbalances created  Unfortunately in life there is no quick fix  I think we all intuitively know that but we hope against hope that it’s not true

Another interference to doing this work is lack of clarity as to the decision making about whether this is an approach worth trying  Only you can decide whether the journey is worthwhile
