In the past I’ve talked about various options open to an IC population interested in pursuing healing rather than palliative matter science methods The energy science also has palliative methods as well but the topic of this blog is not to palliate the IC bladder pain syndrome but to eliminate it
The energy science model’s understanding of the origin of disease makes this possible and allows you to understand why the below therapies work in eliminating IC as well as its sister diseases of IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, and in men chronic prostatitis
As I’ve discussed in the past the energy science views disease as originating in the GIT(gastrointestinal tract) due to vibrational frequencies(aka qualities) that become excessive The common reasons for the accumulation are related to nutrition and lifestyle behaviors that I’ve discussed in the past This explains why dietary advice becomes so foundational for people with IC(see icdiet.com)
One of the common sites of accumulation of these frequencies is the colon Most if not all people with IC have abnormal bowel patterns consisting of gas, bloating, and constipation and/or diarrhea(often leading to the diagnosis of IBS) These colon symptoms are associated with abnormal agni or digestive capability
The common frequencies that are involved are hot and mobile which leads to the burning on urination and frequency of urination along with urgency Once the accumulation of these vibrational frequencies become excessive they move to various parts of the bladder
In moving horizontally these qualities leave the colon where they have become excessive and affect the bladder leading to the above symptoms
As you can see the effect of bladder symptoms is just that The effect of the underlying vibrational disturbance in the colon So as you can surmise treatment of the bladder does not deal with the cause, namely the disturbance of vibrational frequencies in the colon Otherwise one treatment of hydrodistention, botox, or bladder instillations will not deal with the problem’s origin
Hence in the energy science discipline of healing most effort is directed toward clearing the basic imbalance in the colon
#1 The most effective way of bringing these abnormal vibrational frequencies back to the colon for elimination is by medicated herbal enemas One might ask why not just do the same thing but through the bladder since you could eliminate these abnormal increased frequencies that way
This is a great question The answer lies in the root cause If these qualities of hot and mobile are arising from the colon and they are not eliminated at the source they will continue to feed the already disturbed bladder despite being removed from the bladder
#2 The hot quality or vibrational frequency although excessive in the colon actually has its origin in the small bowel and disrupts colon function The best and easiest way to remove this vibrational frequency is through purgation triphala, or using herbs to cause a short period(one day) of diarrhea Common purgative herbal agents that can do the trick are nisshotra(very mild),(mild), and castor oil(strong)
#3 Herbal formulas support both of the above techniques as well as the bladder and the body as a whole during the process These formulas are specific to the other imbalances that are present as well (treating IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, vulvodynia)
There is a tendency in all of us to want the quick fix, hoping that if we just find that one magic pill, remove that one irritating food that IC will go away But the reversal of this energy pattern that sometimes has taken years to develop takes time As I’ve written before at least 2months for every year of imbalance in straight forward cases
Does this mean there will not be relief of symptoms for that long? No, as you do the work things gradually begin getting better but it does take time It just depends on how severe your symptoms and whether you’re tired of being sick
In the end the energy science brings about real healing because it deals with the origin of the disease If interested in knowing more about this approach you can contact me through ic-solutions.tv for a free one hour consultation where we can review your case together

By definition IC is diagnosable by having symptoms of a UTI but a negative culture, best done on a well done cath specimen If the culture is negative with lower tract irritative symptoms(LTIS of frequency, urgency, burning on urination) and no gross hematuria(blood seen in the urine), one is fairly safe in assuming IC, especially if this happens over and over again Other urological workup can be done but this definition essentially seals the deal
If there are associated symptoms of IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, vulvodynia in women, prostatitis in men, this increases the likelihood that one is dealing with IC bladder pain syndrome This particular group of disease labels often accompany interstitial cystitis This is particularly the case for IBS since almost all women and men who have IC have disturbed bowel function(poor digestion, gas, bloating, poor appetite, diarrhea, constipation etc)
Most people with IC know their symptoms pretty well At times the flare doesn’t seem typical in the way the symptoms come on and how the flare evolves In these situations it’s best to get a urine culture on a cath specimen to be sure this atypical presentation is not a bacterial infection
Why do bladder infections occur with IC which is defined as a nonbacterial inflammatory change of the bladder? Well, let’s think about this Bacterial infections in the body are largely opportunistic Even if you innoculate a lady’s bladder with organisms the normal bladder within several voidings will show the bacteria the door No bacteria left in the bladder
In other words the bladder has the natural capability of removing bacteria It is suggested that almost all women get organisms pushed into the bladder during intercourse but few women get infected….or the human race wouldn’t be as successful at procreation as it is today
But the IC bladder mucosa is not normal and its GAG layer is more than likely defective due to the hot and mobile qualities energetically So the IC bladder is prone to bacterial infections
What this means is important for anyone with IC The imbalance in the bladder produces often times a mix of nonbacterial inflammatory episodes(that we call a flare) and bacterial infections that need treatment with herbs or antibiotics
I mentioned at the outset that further urological workup may be necessary This is particularly the case if there is gross hematuria associated with symptoms Although IC can produce gross hematuria with LTIS one should not ignore this cardinal symptom marker of urinary blood, especially if associated with clots
I have seen a patient who LTIS with gross hematuria and a classic Hunner’s ulcer by endoscopy, and a negative upper tract Xray who had by ureteroscopy a ureteral cancer Although this rare presentation of 2 diagnoses one must always be very vigilant when gross hematuria occurs in the clinical course of IC

Everything that we observe whether it’s our body or the world around us can be viewed as either a wave or a particle When it’s a particle we see the world as reassuringly solid and palpable From this world view we see things around as molecules; but when the world is seen as a wave our view changes The world is seen as vibrating pulsating energy
These vibrational frequencies are identified as money, struggles, obstructions to what we want, the passion of life itself Biologically vibrational frequencies are what make us up as an identifiable body in space
In the allopathic medical tradition measurement of molecules or their molecular arrangement is how disease is both detected and serves as a monitor for the effectiveness in treatment In contrast in the energy science medical disciplines imbalances that lead to disease is based on a disturbance of vibrational frequencies in the body called qualities
As I’ve written in the past the qualities prominent in the IC bladder pain syndrome are hot and mobile(of the total of 20 contrasting qualities, eg hot and cold, mobile and static, heavy and light etc) So in IC, IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, and chronic prostatitis these qualities play important roles in the disease process
So from the above it would not be surprising that hot weather is problematic for IC You see, the quality that affects the physiology from a energy science perspective doesn’t have to be ingested If you are exposed to hot weather the energy body absorbs that quality as if you ingested it
The difference between ingesting the hot quality and being environmentally exposed to hot is that when ingested that hot qualitya remains with you to be processed over a 35 day period whereas if you’re simply exposed to the quality and its effect goes away after exposure
But what happens if you work in a hot kitchen for your occupation Then day in and day out, week after week, month after month the hot quality exposure is consistent and persistent Then over time it will be like you’re ingesting the hot quality every day and indeed it will have a physiologic impact
So you feel pretty good after that cup of coffee so no big deal….didn’t have any influence on you, right? Well, the energy science would say that anything that is taken in has an effect and that there is a compounding effect that takes place when coffee is taken, hot weather is thrown into the equation, perhaps a cheeseburger with ketchup,etc etc This compounding effect produces the flares
You see, it’s not just one choice that brings about the flare but a multitude of choices that go back 35 days That’s why it’s actually quite fallacious to say that the choice made yesterday caused the flare today The flare is actually the cumulative body response of many different choices that have been made over at least the last month
And this doesn’t take into consideration the level of the say the hot quality in the body before the ingestion Say the level of the hot quality is a 5 and it takes a 10 to get a flare Well then, you have a cushion You could do a number of different things to provoke and not get a flare until you reach 9 then the hot day is the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back
Lastly for some the flares for the above reasons don’t occur during the hot time of year They occur after the summer mounting up time and in the fall one is more predisposed to the flare It’s much like the spring cold which is just a physiologic release of all the buildup of the heavy qualities that developed during the winter months
1 The obvious is not to expose yourself to heat unnecessarily, whether it be at the beach, work, or at home Look for ways to cool off your local environment
2 Pay close attention to what foods y0u are taking in during the summer months(icdiet.com) and particularly use cooling foods such as fresh cilantro or coconut
3 Use cooling herbs such as mint, cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, wintergreen in cooking foods
Just being aware of the hot quality can go a long ways to prevent buildup of the hot quality and the flares it produces

read moreLast week I wrote about various cooking oils that when used according to your energy constitutional makeup will bring you closer to balance and harmony But there is one cooking oil that can be used by everyone anytime (except in moderation for PK people) This cooking oil comes from unsalted butter, has a very high burning point(technically it’s called smoke point), and best of all is highly medicinal As a matter of fact it is a cornerstone in energy science therapies to heal IC bladder pain syndrome, chronic prostatitis, fibromyalgia, GERD, IBS, and amazingly even vulvodynia
Remember when we were young and there was the rare treat of having lobster? Growing up in the Midwest it was an unusual happening but ….
What about that golden liquid butter that they served with the lobster for dipping? The menu said it was clarified butter but all I remember was that it was gooood with the lobster Now the journey with clarified butter has come full circle and I understand it with a different perspective
From an energy science nutritional view clarified butter is named ghee and it’s not just melted butter The clarification process frees the butter of the harmful fatty acids which are cooked out of the unsalted butter that you begin with Literally the fatty acids are cooked out and you find them at the bottom of the cooking vessel as a slimy, oily, heavy, static, soft, slow/dull, liquid goo Why would anyone want to put that into their mindbodies?
But what’s left is actually medicine A food that is the oily essence of milk and with the fatty acids removed the ama producing qualities of butter go with it That is, the slimy, heavy, static, soft, slow/dull, and liquid qualities are removed
The medicinal properties of ghee are extraordinary It stimulates digestive fire, oleates the GI tract hence improving function, penetrates all the tissue layers of the mindbody within twenty four hours, and can serve as an excellent vehicle in proper circumstances to deliver herbs to all tissue layers of the body
The matter science nutritional literature is devoid of understanding the power of this type of food preparation because of its molecular approach to foods and diet The mindbody is a richer reality than a sophisticated collection of molecules
Here’s a link: http://goo.gl/lJl4oy …… that beautifully takes you through a pictorial step by step process in ghee’s preparation Pay attention to the last couple of steps so you don’t burn the ghee
But it’s a very simple process to do at home and much less expensive than buying it prepared
The wonderful thing about making your own ghee is that it gets you involved If you’ve been a member of this energy science community for long you know that I’m all about having you take responsibility for your own healing Healing doesn’t live in a pill or a magic procedure
No, healing lies in your participation This is pivotal if you want to heal your IC from an energy science point of view
As I have written earlier one of the aspects of healing is detoxification That is, removing ama from the GIT as well as the peripheral deep tissues and channels The urinary tract is a channel and as I have alluded to earlier is responsive to detoxification quite easily Since ghee has similar properties to ama(undigested unprocessed food) which is a result of poor digestive strength(the energy science term for this is agni) when it penetrates tissues energetically it loosens the ama in the tissue and brings it back to the GIT for elimination
So ghee as an internal oleation food is central to the detoxification process if you are so inclined to take on such work But I would have to say that detoxification is a primary energy science procedure if one is having trouble clearing IC symptoms
