The IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, GERD, IBS, and fibromyalgia) and the pain of IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) are interrelated on an energy level because gut problems begin the imbalance that leads to IC symptoms What happens in the gut in IBS eventually leads to problems in the urinary tract because the GIT’s(gastrointestinal tract) digestive power is compromised leading to imbalances in other systems
To be aware of this is to begin the healing of painful IC flares Why? Because when you begin to understand the origins of your dis-ease then you can be empowered to take on the challenges to live the life you once had
And we have seen that there are often psychological similarities between those with IC and those with IBS
From an energy science medical view Nature is described in terms of the VPK(Vata Pitta Kapha) frame of reference Everything in Nature can be seen as these energy patterns and they’re composed of primary vibrational frequencies or qualities that contribute to their expression in the mindbody
As we have talked about in the past from an energy science view they represent who we are in the world and we’re varying proportions of these energy patterns of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha They are mindbody energy expressions or combined mental and physical characteristics And the pain of IC and IBS come as expressions of imbalances of the energy patterns of Vata and Pitta
When there is imbalance of the qualities of hot and mobile the Vata and Pitta energy patterns are provoked and may be expressed as IC and IBS first at the gut level then at the bladder This is the relationship between these two apparent dissimilar dis-eases
When you are in balance there is no excess of these qualities
When we are out of balance or unbalanced, using our example above there’s an excess of the qualities of mobile or hot In this way we would see more mobility of thought, movement, and the GI tract as in diarrhea; excessive hot in the GI tract suggesting acid indigestion or heartburn, headache, or the painful flares of IC
When the GIT ability to process food is compromised ama is formed Energetically ama is defined as undigested unprocessed food that leaves the GIT to lodge in various parts of the body Sometimes this lands in the urinary tract to produce IC in association with the qualities that deliver the symptoms that I just discussed When the tissues become clogged with this ama over time an inflammatory plugging of the energetic channels occurs and needs to be removed if healing is to take place
1 Eat a green protein diet that will support detoxification as you correct the IBS
2 Use a transdermal cream to support the clearing of toxins from the nervous system
3 Use a transmucosal nectar to help with clearing of toxins
The pain of IC can be unpredictable which is distressing anxiety provoking in itself Let alone that you have to contend with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) And sometimes diet suggestions of well meaning matter science dieticians(RD) work and sometimes they don’t Much of the current state of dietary recommendations is anecdotal even though touted as good molecular science Diet recommendations are not as exact a science as we would like If you feel...

When confronted with a chronic disease two questions usually come up 1 Why is this happening to me? 2 How can I get relief from these miserable symptoms that are plaguing me day in and day out? The first question will be difficult to answer based on the current model of healing and is based on theory
And the second question is more to the point of “allow me to get comfortable so I can at least function” This question also has loads of responses doing online searches because you are empathetic to the other’s suffering and want to alleviate it if you can What would life be like without this chronic pain? What would I be able to do that I can’t do now?
The FDA approval for the surgical use of Medtronic’s InterStim is for the OAB syndrome not IC And the urinary frequency/ urgency and urge incontinence is improved by the device in about 50-70% of cases as reported in 2009 but usually doesn’t eliminate completely the voiding difficulty so as to give normal bladder function The use of the device has carried over into the IC patient group because of the desperate needs of the IC patient to at least control the voiding problem aside from the associated pain
This is to say, the IC pain complex will not be taken care of by the device As always there are anecdotal reports of pain cessation but this is not what the device is designed for
There will always be a surgical or mechanical alternative to chronic pain or for that matter any problem Weight loss surgery, pancreatic islet cell transplant for diabetes, and for the OAB InterStim has become a surgical option in the management of IC If you pass a 2 week trial period then a permanent stimulating neuromodulator can be placed in a subcutaneous pocket overlying the right gluteal region
The bladder is innervated by the sacral nerve roots S2-3 By placing needles that emit a low grade electrical current to the nerves going to the bladder, the nerves sending signals from the bladder that urination needs to occur(resulting in frequency, nocturia, and urgency) get overridden by the nerve stimulator The result is a reduction in the bothersome voiding pattern of OAB but not the pain complex
Complications range from 10-25% and related to the mechanical aspects of the procedure such as infection and dislodgement of the wires due to falling or jarring can occur particularly if the needles are not well seated At times such stimulation can bring on chronic pain from the placement compounding the problem rather than making it better
Surgery is a part of the energy science of Ayurveda discipline It clearly recognizes that surgery can be the best option in certain patients But it also brings to the table a rich understanding of the origin of disease and therefore uses the surgical option in a more refined way When adding the matter science technological approach to disease this can lead to a very effective holistic medical system
With this being said the use of a mechanical device should not be offered unless there has been an adequate trial of nutrition using energy science guidelines Over the last 10 years I have personally witnessed OAB symptoms resolve using this kind of nutritional approach
As discussed in my book, IC Bladder Pain Syndrome, the OAB separates itself from the disease label of IC due to the pain component You see the OAB problem is a Vata disturbance of bladder function whereas the IC disease label is a Vata AND Pitta disturbance of the bladder leading to not only the OAB symptoms(Vata) but the Pitta energy pattern presence leading to the sharp shearing pain of IC that can be episodic and recognized as the flare
Using a surgical approach is an option Using a nutritional approach is an option But if the latter has not been given an adequate trial then that leaves the former as the only viable option
So my suggestion is to not act too hastily and give the energy science approach a really good trial before you open yourself up to the potential problems associated with surgery And if you elect to have the implant know that the pain may not be affected
The pain of IC can be unpredictable which is distressing anxiety provoking in itself Let alone that you have to contend with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) And sometimes diet suggestions of well meaning matter science dieticians(RD) work and sometimes they don’t Much of the current state of dietary recommendations is anecdotal even though touted as good molecular science Diet recommendations are not as exact a science as we would like If you feel...

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 diet survey
84% found diet helped reduced symptoms
Perhaps because this was an online survey the results are not available for search at the ICA site any longer but the survey obviously underscores the importance of nutrition and shows the interesting correlation with acid indigestion and IC From our previous blog discussion this correlation would be expected as the hot quality in the gut moves to affect the urinary system
My father in law didn’t have IC pain and lived a relatively comfortable life except for anxiety now and then He had an interesting habit that I think is germane to our discussion today
As a matter of evening routine he would sneak into the kitchen late at night to have his two bowls of Hagen Daz ice cream after which he would take his cholesterol lowering pills(maybe two for good measure!) Comfortable that he had done his ounce of prevention he would then trundle off to bed
I think most would feel that taking two Lipitor after eating ice cream is …. well not preventative But isn’t that the same thing we are doing with antacids? Prelief is an antacid like many OTC antacids to help with the stomach symptoms of heartburn GERD Even Tagamet has been used off label for IC But isn’t that the same thing?
We all want our freedom of choice and the energy science of Ayurveda does not say “Never” It says that we all have free choice but we don’t have a choice about the consequences of our choices
Drugs and nutraceuticals are not meant to cover over poor food choices that cause the pain of IC which can be managed more successfully without the use of pharma
Of course there is the sentiment “My life is over All of my favs taken away from me!” These energy science nutritional formats are not an “all or none” proposition but the more closely you adhere to the format the better you will feel And after a while you’ll get tired of taking in foods that make you feel sick
In the end the energy discipline can help us with a qualitative scientific assessment of what foods are best for our mindbody energy makeup
Go to foodsheal.com right now and take the quiz Then choose the appropriate nutritional format and print the pdf format off so you have it to follow
Read the incompatable food combination list and print off that file as well and post both on your refrigerator so you can reference them regularly

Vulvodynia can occur as an isolated clinical problem but more often than not the condition is more than likely associated with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis, vulvodynia, fibromyalgia, IBS, GERD) Obviously it’s a debilitating condition for relationships and the loss of womanhood becomes an inevitable psychological effect
Actually vulvodynia is like prostatitis in that the pelvic nerves become involved by abnormal energy patterns that from the lower rectum in the pelvis This sets up abnormal nerve sensations in the vagina, prostate, and bladder
When the properly applied cream(s) are applied to the perineum and appropriate marma points around the vaginal entry(introitus) these creams can have profound effects to the pelvic nerve tissue
When nectars are created so that just the energetics of the herb are delivered there is no need for absorption of the herb from the GI tract and its digestive capability….the herbs quickly move through the mucosa of the mouth and esophagus In this way the nectars are very much like the transdermal creams in that the skin and its digestive capability is able to move the herbal energetics into the body

Everyone agrees that the pain of IC is related to inflammation but it may be surprising to find that all diseases from cancer to diabetes have an element of this inflammation And this is where we are at in our current understanding of disease from a matter or molecular science point of view And we as the signpost points are left with no direction
There are many painful molecules that have now been identified that produce inflammation in the mindbody We have identified many of these molecules But what causes them to begin to show up in the first place? The answer from the matter science is infection often times because foreign organisms incite a white cell response which produce this molecular inflammatory response
But IC is defined as a nonbacterial inflammatory response So no infection but inflammation nonetheless And we are all well aware of many different diseases that produce inflammation without infection such as rheumatoid arthritis
This is why at this point in time the matter science urologist has no answer for your IC No infection No Cure Treatable but not curable
If we take off our matter(molecule) science glasses and view the mindbody through energy field glasses we see the mindbody as an energy field
There are three necessary biologic energy patterns according to the science of Ayurveda: the energy of movement Vata, the energy of transformation Pitta, and the energy pattern of stability Kapha
As we discussed with you earlier inflammation is a result of excessive hot quality resulting in inflammation regardless of whether there is infection or not
When the energy pattern of Pitta becomes excessive(too much of the hot quality) then inflammation and the excruciating pain of IC is the result
Unless we’re breatharians we routinely do one thing every day: EAT This is why foods become so important in the management of this chronic condition labeled as IC “Label” is a specific term for the broader term inflammation Other labels used by the matter science urology tradition include chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CPPS) and chronic prostatitis
So you can do 3 things right now:
Go to foodsheal.com right now and take the quiz Then choose the appropriate nutritional format and print the pdf format off so you have it to follow
Read the incompatable food combination list and print off that file as well and post both on your refrigerator so you can reference them regularly Incompatible foods produce inflammation
Use aloe vera gel(not the juice) on a regular basis (2T three times per day) Take it to work, travel with it, and make a ritual out of its use Why? This herb reduces the hot quality(think of applying aloe on a hot sunburn) by using the opposite quality of cold
The pain of IC can be unpredictable which is distressing anxiety provoking in itself Let alone that you have to contend with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) And sometimes diet suggestions of well meaning matter science dieticians(RD) work and sometimes they don’t Much of the current state of dietary recommendations is anecdotal even though touted as good molecular science Diet recommendations are not as exact a science as we would like If you feel...
read moreFrom an energy science point of view the IC bladder pain syndrome( interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) is a Vata and Pitta provoked disease, that is, too much hot and mobile qualities in the urinary tract – an imbalance created by the foods consumed So the obvious first step is to reduce those foods that are Pitta and Vata provoking When first getting started to get some relief from the burning sensation you can begin with just a Pitta pacifying nutritional format as at icdiet.com...
read moreThe inflammation that occurs with your IC pain as we’ve talked about in the past is from the hot and mobile qualities from an energy science viewpoint As you know this pain can be excruciating and unrelenting causing undue stress on relationships and plans And there are things that we have discussed that can help with temporary relief of symptoms But what would it be like it you lived a life without any bladder symptoms at all This is the cure of the apparent curable condition of IC The Hot Quality As we’ve mentioned before the...
read moreIn the energy science of Ayurveda imbalance of qualities such as hot, cold, heavy, light affect the metabolic fire called agni When this happens the end result is a toxic morbid substance called ama This is essence is how disease occurs in the energy model discipline In the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) the qualities of mobile and hot lead to early symptoms of the disease complex but as progression occurs more qualities become involved and deeper tissues become...
read moreAs I muse through the menu at my favorite restaurant, I can hear myself in the process of selection “Hmmm, this looks particularly good-lots of congestion and inflammation there” “Or maybe some cooling? Oh no no, that’s not tasty enough” “Well maybe just this time” From an energy science view, the effects of the foods that we consume begin before we even put them in our mouths Does that sound surprising? Many of those with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic...
read moreIn the energy science disciplines of Ayurveda and traditional Oriental medicine(TOM) the use of topographical points on the skin are used for treatment of various disease states In TOM these points are called acupuncture or acupressure points In the energy science of Ayurveda these points are called marma points There is some variability in terms of location and what they represent but the utility of use is undoubtedly valuable In conventional medicine today the use of transdermal therapies has had a wide application utilized mostly as a...
read moreAll Diseases Begin In the Gut Hippocrates 460-370 BC The traditional healing systems such as Ayurveda from India and the Traditional Oriental Medical system both saw the body as an energy field and built elaborate healing sciences around the concept that the body is an energy field. Today we know from Einstein that this is indeed correct, that what is energy is matter and what is matter is energy, from the famous...
read moreFoods can create unarguable imbalances in the physiology which over time leads to disease And for the most part some of food’s effects may not be associated with ill feeling However my point is that all foods have the potential for creating imbalances in the mindbody if they don’t resonate with our energy makeup Because of different factors these imbalancing choices don’t give us symptoms At least we don’t think they do Everything is relative You may feel ok but if you make changes you feel better But you...
read moreChronic prostatitis is a nonbacterial inflammatory condition of the male pelvis and can be considered male intersitial cystitis It is a member of the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, irritable bowel syndrome, GERD, and fibromyalgia) because the cause is the same as its other members Imbalances of qualities in the bowel caused by primarily the foods consumed and lifestyle choices that provoke the energy physiology lead to dissemination to the peripheral tissues Like IC itself invariably the pelvic nerves become...
read moreThe energy science can help us understand how to deal with this controversial topic about the potential addictive nature of opiates in milk Particularly this has relevance for the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) It makes sense that there is a sedative property in mother’s milk or the human race would not be so advanced in numbers as it has become Concentrated Forms of Opiates Cheese is produced by acidifying milk and making a curd leaving the whey(watery...
