It’s no secret that inflammation plays a major role in all disease and specifically the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and fibromyalgia) is a great example where inflammation is a central theme to the disease process This manifests itself as burning on urination or in the tissues since from an energy science point of view the hot quality causes the inflammatory process
So it comes as no surprise that reducing acidity would be appropriate in management in all disease such as cancer but specifically the IC bladder pain syndrome From an energy science view the hot quality is reduced Since biologic molecules are energy expressions and the energy body is expressed as molecules…that is, molecules and energy simultaneously coexsit….then what the matter science says about the inflammatory process in the body reflects what we also know from the energy science point of view
Nutrition and Acidity
In the matter science biologic model the marker for inflammation is acidity And so it follows that to reduce acidity is a primary treatment in matter science therapy of the IC bladder pain syndrome Biologically the opposite of acidity is alkaline and it’s again been observed that people do much better in health when they consume an alkaline diet
The terms Acid and Alkaline are related to the ash that results after food is burned One can be either to acidic or to alkaline (less common) but either end is unhealthy A pH less than 7 is said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 arebasic or alkaline The body’s ideal pH is slightly alkaline – 7.30 to 7.45
Toxins in the energy science model is called ama or undigested unprocessed food In the matter science model toxic load is difficult to clear in an acid environment The more acidic the body the more toxins are in the system So changing a patient’s diet to become more alkaline is extremely helpful when confronted with a diagnosis of the IC bladder pain syndrome
7 Food Groups to Avoid
Foods that are considered acidic are high in sulfur, phosphorus, and nitrogen Acidic foods slow or stop
the detoxification process of the body They are inflammatory and mucous forming This includes basically 7 food groups
1 All meats and eggs
2 Dairy
3 Grains
4 Beans
5 Nuts and seeds
6 Citrus fruits
7 Nightshades(tomato, potato, and eggplant)
An Energy Science Nutritional Perspective
As you might find in looking at the above list it seems to leave little left to eat in the average American diet and has the potential of painting you in the proverbial “nutritional corner” which can become very restrictive for food choices
The energy science approach looks at nutrition from the view of who’s eating the food Energetically a PV would choose differently than a PK or a VK For more information please see foodsheal.com This can give you more understanding of what foods are best for you and also give you a broader range of choices
Most live foods are alkaline forming foods Alkaline foods are foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, honey, and raisins Soaking and sprouting can reduce the acidity of grains, nuts, and beans
