IC and Amalgamation: How to Heal It

The energy science of Ayurveda differs from the current conventional medicine model which emphasizes a matter science or molecular approach to disease management  In the energy science approach to healing the model sees imbalance of vibrational frequencies or qualities as the reason for physiologic dis-ease  So in the case of the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) the qualities of hot and mobile are dominant in the disease expression which leads in the urinary tract the frequency, urgency, and burning of urination

Progression of Disease

In the energy science the most common reason for the accumulation of qualities occurs through nutrition which is why nutritional management is the cornerstone of IC disease treatment  The energy  science management of the various disease expressions of the IC bladder pain syndrome with respect to nutrition is far more complex than the currently practiced dietary recommendations used by the contemporary dietician  This is because one of the major tenets of the energy science approach is to help improve agni, the digestive power or strength

Agni is central to disease management in the energy science yet is completely not recognized in conventional medical circles including the nutritional  This is due to the model of healing which is molecular approach

The Energy Science and Origin of IC

As disease progresses qualities leave the GIT(gastrointestinal tract) and spread to tissues based on whether specific agnis in the mindbody are not up to par  Hence the qualities of hot and mobile become dominant BUT not as we would expect in the bladder and renal system

Actually the qualities of hot and mobile accumulate in the nervous tissue of the pelvis….the pelvic plexus…and cause ALL the symptoms that occur in the bladder, vagina, and prostate  This model of disease has been postulated by the matter science research but an research animal model will defy molecular proof unfortunately(how does one measure qualities in tissues of the pelvic plexus?) Hence it will probably be impossible for the matter science ever get to the origin of disease in the IC bladder pain syndrome and it will continue to be in the dark regarding the origin of this problem  The matter science model will never be able to solve this problem so don’t waste your time waiting because it will not happen

Amalgamation of Qualities With Tissues

Just as when fingers interlace with one another the qualities of the tissues interlace with the qualities that are circulating leading to the damage and imbalance of the tissue qualities  This leads the alteration of function of the tissues themselves  In the case of the IC bladder pain syndrome the nervous tissue function becomes altered leading to the reporting predominantly of the hot and mobile qualities  When this merging occurs a chronic condition is set up

When these qualities become dominant in the nervous tissue of the pelvis they begin to amalgamate with the tissue itself  In other words the qualities BECOME one with the tissue  This type of interrelationship begins the real stage of disease where we become aware of the significant signs and symptoms of the IC bladder pain syndrome

This amalgamation cannot be managed by simple nutritional intervention, by physical therapy techniques, it is beyond acupuncture, bladder therapies(cystoscopy, fulguration, instillations)….which are patently bandaids  The quality invasion into tissues with toxic load has no other therapy but detoxification measures that we have discussed in the past in the form of panchakarma(PK) which if to be effective needs to be done frequently over a period of time  Along with this we have to improve agni, burn toxins, along with potentized medicines that are catalytic in nature, and a specialized herbal formula

Those with chronic IC bladder pain syndrome will have no choice if they want to get better but to deal with an energy science detoxification technique and be in it for the long haul
