The pain of IC is related to pelvic inflammation particularly of the bladder The flares that occur are related to the episodic increase in intensity of this inflammation So it stands to reason that the treatment for such a chronic disease would be antiinflammatory(AIF) This is not rocket science, folks! And there is a wide host of naturally occurring AIF For example, tumeric is commonly used in cooking and is a well understood AIF which when used with black pepper is potentiated even further in terms of its AIF effectNow the well respected National Institutes of Health(NIH) published a year ago(October of 2011) a review article on antiinflammatory therapies using the energy science Ayurvedic formulary This article essentially says what I have been advocating for the last 5 years: that we need to marry the matter science discipline of the West(so called matter science healing) with the energy sciences such as Ayurveda and the traditional Oriental Medicine(TOM) An East meets West in healing traditions
In the health arena it is very normal and expected that the consumer with a painful bladder is timid about trying “new therapies” that can potentially help them because nobody in the medical establishment has condoned their value Further the allopathic(matter science clinicians) tradition are reticent to support the use of such therapies since they are not “tried and true” and supported by evidence based medical(EBM)review Because of this there is a tendency in the current medical profession to stonewall articles that speak to the use of natural remedies to help with painful bladder syndrome because they are not consistent with the status quo and EBM
But what about just regular food? Hippocrates, said to be the father of Western medicine, wrote that “Food is medicine and medicine is food” We have been so ingrained traditionally to believe that food is just something we put in our mouths and takes care of our appetites that it doesn’t really have a medicinal effect to help a painful bladder But let’s rethink this If you take in 3T of salt you know that there will direct and distinct physiologic consequences You’ll pee more, require lots of water, maybe get acid indigestion, have tight feeling skin, have excess hot sensation in the body All because you took in some food in this case salt The energy science perspective is that foods can be inflammatory and that’s why they lead to symptoms of pain So a well delineated energy science nutritional format can be AIF with no grey areas It won’t lead you astray Coupled with the incompatible food combination list which is basically a group of foods that when joined together produce inflammation you have a way of using nutrition in a AIF way There are three things you can do right now to help yourself with IC pain 1 Go to the above links and begin following the nutritional formats 2 Begin using the AIF cocktail we spoke about in an earlier blog 3 Begin using cumin, coriander, fennel seeds, tumeric, and cardamon in your cooking All are AIF Until next week Love DrBill

It’s clear that foods can heal but the converse of this statement is also true: Foods can make us sick But why is it that Molly can eat certain foods and you can’t? It has to do with the qualities that increase in Molly and the qualities that increase in you AND which qualities bring about balance for Molly and which cause imbalance for you
We are all uniquely different and what brings about the painful bladder syndrome of IC(interstitial cystitis) is different for each of us The bottom line is that once the imbalance of qualities becomes apparent you have to do something about it and the first thing to assess is what foods are causing this imbalance
As I have written about in previous blogs the most important quality that causes IC is hot Along with the mobile quality these two cause the predominant symptoms of IC So from I’ve just said it behooves us to look at those foods that carry these qualities and produce the imbalance
Anything that’s acidic carries the hot quality It’s not the only way to get this quality but it’s a predominant one because the sour taste is the acid taste in Nature(fyi, the bitter is the alkaline taste in Nature) So any foods that create acidity are bound to effect an imbalancing change in the body with respect to the hot quality
Foods that carry the sour, salty and pungent tastes will give us the hot quality in certain measures so should be avoided in the IC bladder pain syndrome
So you can see that fermented foods in your nutrition would be problematic but also the foods that can be fermented when they enter the GIT(GI tract) are also an issue When you follow the nutritional format at icdiet.com(called a Pitta pacifying diet because it reduces that hot quality) or the one at foodsheal.com you’ll automatically begin removing the hot quality from your nutrition As I’ve written about before, homemade yogurt is alright in moderation unless you have severe symptoms(that is, NO store bought yogurt) or you have a Kapha constitution
This removes the difficulty in deciding what is safe and what is not For example, lime doesn’t carry as much of the hot quality as its mature fruit the lemon, so lime is safe and lemon is not
What about foods that are not fermented outside but when we bring them inside out GIT they become acidic and produce the hot quality?
A beautiful example of this process is fruit when added with other foods Fruit by itself is innocent but when added with other foods can produce the hot quality(increasing acidity)
But there are many examples that don’t include fruits, such as beans with meat and cheese (taco, enchilada, etc), eggs with meat or cheese(that’s an omlete), and milk with fruit(the morning smoothie)
All of these incompatible food combinations are deadly traps for the IC patient because of this internal fermentation process that occurs in all of us
Here are three things to do to get appropriate guidance with this whole fermentation nutritional business
1 Eat according to the above nutritional formats at icdiet.com or foodsheal.com(be sure to take the quiz before selecting the format for yourself)
2 At foodsheal.com there is a section on incompatible food combinations
3 Do breathing exercises to reduce acidity in the body (I’ll cover these in my FREE upcoming webinar) where I’ll talk about ways that you can cool off using yoga as therapy

The matter science discipline has made the relationship between IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) and intersitial cystitis from population studies but due to its model of healing it has little to say about the association It exists but we don’t know why
The energy science model relates that the vast majority of disease begins in the GI tract This is why nutrition becomes the first mainstay of therapy Of course it depends on what kind of nutritional advice is given Molecular nutritional advice as I talk about in IC Bladder Pain Syndrome is at best guess work based on anecdotal IC sufferers reports
But what about this link between IBS and IC? It’s estimated that about 70% of people with IC have some signs and symptoms of IBS From my vantage point in dealing with patients…..it’s more like approaching 100% And this makes sense because of what I just related about the origin of almost all chronic diseases
The symptoms of IBS are related to poor digestion This leads to the increased qualities of hot and mobile which leave the GI tract and lodge in weak bodily areas predisposed to disease The mobile quality leads to the frequency, urgency, getting up at night, and at times incontinence if certain characteristics of the continence mechanism are present The hot quality leads to the intermittent burning in the bladder and vagina leading to vulvodynia like symptoms In men the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are similar except that the perineal burning is often more severe
Approximately 60-70% of people with IC become either asymptomatic and their symptoms dramatically lessen over time with minor flares that are tolerable and dealt with by small interventions that quiet the above qualities The remaining 30% of patients become debilitated with symptoms
More often than not this debilitated group of patients have not only IC symptoms(bladder, prostate, and vagina) but also extreme bowel symptoms as well This leads to the diagnosis of IBS Unfortunately there is little from the matter or molecular science discipline to deal with these symptoms as well So this unfortunate group of patients have IC and IBS both of which are not managed well by the current medical system Nothing to be offered
So incapacitating IC almost always has a component of IBS that is also severe Since all disease starts in the GI tract the management of these severe cases must hinge around dealing with the problems in the GI tract Typically when the GI symptoms are managed the IC symptoms take care of themselves
As I talked about earlier the cause of IBS is poor digestive strength Once this process of poor digestion is set in motion the accumulation of undigested unprocessed food leads to disruption of absorption and assimilation of food leading to toxicity
But all of these digestive disruptions lead to increased mucous production by the lining of the GI tract Because of the hot and dry qualities in the GI tract this mucous over time becomes thick ropey and creates intermittent functional bowel obstruction, leading to bloating and pockets of gas Another serious problem with this inspissated mucous is that it is incredibly inflammatory which produces severe cramping pain
Over years this mucous becomes a major obstacle to clearing symptoms not only in the bowel but also the bladder And both systems create symptoms that interrelate causing a constellation of symptoms that are uninterpretable by the matter science doctors
If early on in symptoms using licorice or slippery elm can serve as demulcents to the problematic mucous Until the mucous is cleared the symptoms won’t be relieved But the healing process of bowel recovery is another hurdle that has to be managed until the gas and bloating is controlled
The important realization to the management of these difficult situations is that the process of healing from an energy science view requires time There is no magic fix, no magic pill, no magic operation Only patience, diligence, and the courage to do the work
All the best in your healing journey DB

In keeping with our theme from last week, I wanted to discuss with you this week the use of yoga postures for irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, and chronic prostatitis All of these matter science disease labels are associated in high percentages with IC
Yoga has been used as a discipline for healing at the Ayurvedic Institute since the 1980’s and has been trademarked as Ayuryoga The uniqueness of the breathing techniques that I talked about last week and the poses this week is that paired with energy science healing techniques they can restore normal health without IC
The key is that certain yoga postures improve GI health and restore digestive power that has been lost over the years You will not heal IC until you address the digestive health of your gut
Yoga as a discipline of healing using the Ayurvedic model has been around for 5000+years and has used yoga postures for healing In the late 1990’s Dawn Mahowald, a certified yoga instructor began having symptoms of IC She began using yoga postures for her problem and was pleasantly surprised that her symptoms improved to the point she wasn’t bothered any further During that time she sought out the help of a urologist, Emmy Ripoll MD who was open minded enough to follow Dawn’s progress and see the improvemnts
This led to a collaborative effort and a book on the subject showing how IC can be helped with yoga They currently practice in Boulder Colorado They were interviewed by Jill Osborne of the ICN in 2002
As I have pointed out over the years the difference between the matter science and the energy science medical healing models is that one is based on molecules and the other on seeing the body as an energy field You simultaneously coexist as these fields If I put on my molecular glasses I see the body as an collection of molecules If I put on a different pair of glasses I see the body as an energy field
When I have those energy glasses on I see the body as a collection of qualities, hot and cold, hard and soft, liquid and dense, slow/dull and sharp/penetrating, heavy and light, etc So these qualities become my window of observation as to how the energy field is doing If I feel sluggish and fatigued then I’m out of balance and should take measures to correct the problem
If you have IC you have an imbalance in the hot and mobile qualities that cause you go to the toilet frequently and when in a flare experience burning on urination
So yoga can be therapeutic but a sequence in a yoga studio may cause you a setback if you don’t know how the activity can affect you So the ongoing discussion below is meant to be a reference for you for future questions that you may have Therapeutic yoga when combined with Ayurvedic energy science techniques can be healing and transforming
Using yoga as a therapeutic tool is extremely valuable but you have to have some basic understanding of what yoga asana(postures, poses) do to the energy body As a matter of fact, people report being made worse when they go to a yoga class This would be particularly the case if you attended a “hot yoga” (Bikram) session and this would make complete sense from what I said above Here are some suggestions
Chandra namaskar(moon salutation) is an excellent cooling dynamic flow sequence for IC
Doing all sequences and poses slowly(opposed to the mobile quality) is also therapeutic
Forward bends are heating and backbends and expansion poses are cooling in general
After these generalizations the building of a posture practice is based on the individual and their needs but safe asanas to use are: trikonasana, ardha chandrasana, and utthita parsvokonasana Most standing poses are heating
Balancing poses are very grounding for Vata and therefore reduce the mobile quality: vrksasna, natarajasana, and gaurudasana
Agni building poses are safe such as uttana padasana, naukasana, and mayurasana
Inversions are in general heating but these can be used safely: halasana, bhadharasana(downward facing dog), and short periods in headstand(sarvangasana) are OK but sirasana and variations should be avoided
Twists are cooling so ardha matsyendrasana and jathara parivattasana are great
Seated postures with backbending components are cooling: setu bandhasana, dhanurasana, pawanmuktanasana, baddha konasana, gomuksasana, virasana, supta virasana, ustrasana, matsyasana, vajrasana, upward dog, and bhujangasana
This list is to give you and your yoga teacher some guidance as to what postures can be aggravating for IC If you haven’t explored yoga, maybe it’s time to try it out with this guidance It’s great exercise!
If you would like some personal guidance you and I could develop a personalized program that could be progressed and at the same time get some other help with treatment of your IC condition
There are specific postures in yoga that can help improve your digestion which are called above agni building poses These are amazing because they help restore digestive health which is foundational on your road back to recovering from IC
As always best in your healing journey Love DB

When in between the painful bladder flares of the IC bladder pain syndrome there are things that you can do to help support your recovery as you move along One of the more important techniques are yogic breathing exercises
As I’ve discussed in the past you can either see your body as a collection of molecules or as an energy field This is because you simultaneously coexist as both From E=mc2 we know this to be the case but for many reasons the current molecular biological model has failed to embrace this fact primarily because you need a trusted model of healing that can guide you in world of energy science healing
The energy science model of Ayurveda is one such model of healing that sees the body as an energy field Ayurveda comes from the vast yoga discipline and is actually the healing arm of that tradition
When you do yoga you are actually practicing energy science medicine because these postures realign, redistribute, rebalance the body’s energy field over time In essence you are moving energy into places of stagnant energy which is the primary reason for pain
The primary reason for pain from an energy science point of view is poor flow or stagnant energy in the body
There are 3 breath techniques that anyone interested in healing IC can use to aid and support their recovery From a molecular point of view these techinques seem weird but when you know that you are doing these to redistribute energy in the body then it becomes clear why you are doing them
1 Kapalabhati(KB) is a breath technique of active exhalation and passive inhalation This has high marks for healing IC because clears toxicity which I talked about last week It restores the normal directional flow of energy in the pelvis and helps in the restoration of colonic health which is a major player in IC and bowel dysfunction KB tones the digestive system and improves digestive power, brings about alertness, clears the energy channels and helps move stagnant energy along, energizes the brain, massages the heart(cardiovascualar import), stimulates blood production, heals the prostate, stimulates the ovaries, and balances hormones, and normalizes body weight You can do this sitting on the front edge of a chair Here’s a video demonstrating KB Start with 100 and gradually over weeks increase to 1000 Some call this the breath of fire because it increases body heat But because it doesn’t disturb the Pitta energy pattern it is considered OK for Pitta
2 Forceful alternate nostril breathing A variation of nadi shodana or alternate nostril breathing, this breath technique is done forcefully with the right arm up if possible So the fingers of the right hand are positioned such that the pinky and ring finger close off the left nasal passage and the thumb closes off the right nares Begin by breathing in through the left nares and the same time closing off the right nostril with the thumb Exhale through forcefully through the right nostril, closing off the left nares Inhale right nostril, then forcefully exhale out left nares This is one round Start with 10 rounds and gradually work up to 50
This breath technique is like giving yourself an energy bath as it cleanses the entire energy body It merges left and right brain hemispheres and unfolds by and by a blissful state of being Physiologcially it reduces depression, eliminates migraines, clears the sinuses, brings vitality to the abdominal organs, strengthens the immune system, decreases cholesterol, induces contentment and serenity
3 Bhramari is translated as bumblebee breath and is done by placing the index fingers in the ear canals, closing the eyes, taking in a deep breathtthrough the mouth, and making the sound of a bee This calms the physiology and hence the bladder in IC, is excellent of osteoporosis, induces good sleep, improves the function of the thyroid and parathryroid glands, harmonizes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems Start with 10 rounds and go to 17 No more than 17
In a couple of months I’ll do a webinar for the community on these techniques as well as other yoga poses that are beneficial for the IC bladder pain syndrome Until then you can get started and be ready for the practice in April
All the best in your healing journey DB
You would do anything to deal with the pain of the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, GERD, IBS, and fibromyalgia) especially when flares occur so it would stand to reason that using an antacid of some form would be appropriate since for some it gives them relief of their heartburn but has also been anecdotally reported by some to help with their IC symptoms Interestingly acid indigestion(heartburn) and GERD are strongly associated with IC In an online survey done by the ICA: 559 respondents to...

The toxicity that we talk about in the environment is no different than the toxicity we create for ourselves The good news is that you can do something about it
The IC bladder pain syndrome is associated with toxicity not just an energetic imbalance As a matter of fact every disease carries toxic load to the tissues But the matter science molecular model practiced today doesn’t have a concept of toxicity until late in the disease process, when people need dialysis for example And we tend to think of toxicity that comes from the environment, not something we create ourselves But the energy science sees it differently and hence as I have written about earlier, the disease process is seen differently Hence even though the matter science seems not to have an answer, the energy science does
In the IC syndrome IBS shows its toxicity as mucous in the bowel particularly if there is drastic pain The other form of IBS doesn’t yield to the incredible spasms that occur with the spastic colon varietu Fibromyalgia has the energy patterns of Vata and Pitta carry toxicity to the muscle and joints In vulvodynia the toxicity appears in the female vaginal tract; in chronic prostatitis the toxicity is carried into the male reproductive tract Lastly in IC itself the toxicity is carried into the bladder muscle causing spasm and bladder irritability
The general term for toxicity is ama energy science lingo and it’s present in all diseases
Ama is a sticky cold material that is the endproduct of poor digestion It doesn’t cause disease right away but by and by with its accumulation it begins to become symptomatic
Symptoms of ama are indigestion, poor appetite, sense of heaviness even though thin, halitosis, body odor, diarrhea, constipation, and of course all the symptoms of the above disease label
If ama is formed it means the digestion is not up to par and most people’s agni is not up to par Another general term for digestion that is used in the energy science is agni Agni and ama go hand in hand If agni is low ama is formed If agni is high ama is not formed and the person enjoys good health
There are several ways to prevent ama and hence ill health from occurring
1 Don’t overeat…..what one can hold in 2 hands is the volume that should be used at the biggest meal of the day…..the noon meal
2 Eat according to your dominant energy patterns(see foodsheal.com)
3 Use various tools to improve digestion…CCF tea, agni tea, ginger appetizer, trikatu
4 Use tripahala that helps improve bowel health and hence clears ama
5 Some ama is mucousy and the use of licorice as a demulcent(liquifies the mucous) can be helpful
6 Baking soda and dry ginger bath…1/3 cup of each in bath water helps to eliminate toxic load through the skin
So this is the top secret in clearing IC for good Clear the ama It’s not as easy and simple as it looks on the surface because as some of you may recognize all IC’s are not created equally Some have had their IC a long time and others not so long Some have prominent IBS as part of their IC symptoms while others have their ama loculated in different places
Not one size fits all so therefore the treatments tend to vary for each individual but the secret still remains the same: Clear ama and clear IC for good
Good luck on your healing journey DB
