IC and 2 Seed Butters Safe to Use ALL the Time

The energy science of Ayurveda sees nutrition from an energy and not a molecular viewpoint From this energy science perspective foods “look different” because they are seen from the vantage point of how they affect the individual energy mindbody not the molecules that compose them The complexity of foods and molecular micromanagement vanish using an energy science approach

Energy wise nuts are Pitta provoking so this is bad news for those with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) since the syndrome is Vata and Pitta provoked So does that mean that your hankering for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich go by the wayside? Fear not and read on

Seed Butter Alternatives to Peanut Butter

Nuts are rich in fatty acids and hence are inflammatory or Pitta provoking Almonds although categorized as a nut are actually seeds as are sunflower seeds These two seed butters make excellent replacements for the commonly used nut butters that many of us grew up with

There are two seed alternatives to commonly produced nut butters….Barney Butter that is made with skinless almonds and sunflower butter that you can find in markets or on Amazon with the supplied links Importantly the almond seed butter must be made from skinless almonds in the preparation of the butter because the skin contains physic acid and that’s what makes Barney Butter so special If the skin is left on in the preparation of the almond butter then it just becomes another nut butter Even though the molecular and energy science approaches to food are different there should always be correlation as there is in this case

In the Ayurvedic sense heating foods are Pitta provoking…..that is they produce excess heat in the body leading to any inflammatory conditions in the mindbody such as acid indigestion, GERD, the hot form of IBS, forms of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid and gouty, even atherosclerosis which has a Pitta component to it Psychologically Pitta provocation leads to anger, hostility, rage, all kinds of heated emotions

Another uncommon seed that is used in Indian sweets and cooking is charole, a small almond like seed that comes from a bush but it is not widely available It’s seen in the image on blog entry page

By electing to blanch the almonds there is a creation of a Pitta pacifying almond butter that makes it a superb choice and substitute for any nut butter on the market today Almonds also happen to be one of the 4 pure sattvic foods in Nature(sattvic means harmonious to the mindbody and therefore balancing…milk dates and ghee are the other 3) As you can see by not having the skins almonds become a gift from Nature herself

What They’re Saying About Dr Bill

I have been looking for answers for IC for quite some time now. I did complete your surveys one recently and previous I think last year. I totally have followed your advice on the Pitta diet and the Aloe Vera gel and now I know I have control over my IC it does not control me anymore. All the pain and suffering I have been though and to know it was just a matter of following this diet and some aloe vera. I am 100 percent better. I have talked to some people on the IC Network and I feel I have been brushed off. Nothing so simple could work, but it did for me. Maybe there are other conditions that cause IC but for me this really does work. I only have myself to blame for bad habits. I do know my urologist that I go to told me my urine was acidic and he had me drink more water,and take some baking soda. I gave him a copy of your diet and information to read. He told me if it works keep it up he told me he would give the diet to his other patients. Thanks, again Dr. Dean TS

For the past three months, I have been that rebel. My cause is 'because I am not allowed to have it' so I will. Yes, I do pay for it down the road, and finally, tonight, I did an indepth meditation, Yoga Nidra, and what was given to me throughout my course of working with you, the two doctors who chose to give up on me, and the guidance of one of the world's best psychologist's is ACCEPTANCE. We must take that one step, no matter how big or small, into the world of acceptance. This is how it is, this is how it must be in order to survive and remain healthy. My attitude is drastically changing and now that I am beginning to accept that the way for my survival and recovery from this horrendous illness, both physically and mentally, is by accepting the foods that will give my intestinal tract the nourishment it needs and the time to rest to heal. I cannot begin to thank you for what you have given me. My life is back. CJ

I remember the day you diagnosed me with the condition Interstitial Cystitis. I was surprised to learn of your non-invasive, natural approach to my health and well being. I want to thank you for giving me the tools to change what was causing me excruciating pain in my bladder. DV

I know from experience with your recommended acid/alkaline diet, Aloe Vera juice and Apple Cider Vinegar I did daily for 10 months worked for me. It was a challenge for me to stay on track with the diet because I love food, lattes and red wine. When I looked at the list of things I had to avoid, I felt like there was nothing left for me to enjoy in my daily life, but I was determined to recover from this debilitating condition. So I decided to look at the list of foods I could eat and began a new journey of foods that heal the body. I had to avoid all the major culprits, alcohol, meat, dairy, packaged/ processed foods, sugar, caffeine, most fruits and veggies, spices, and my love for chocolate.
This was the key to relieving my symptoms after 10 months of horrible and painful disabling days. If I tried to eat something acidic I would get a pain in the bladder that was unbearable,This grabbed my attention to stay on tract. TB

Just been two months and the difference is AMAZING....from 7 x a night getting up to go to the bathroom down to 1x. Although I come from a background of many natural health and holistic practices it has been wonderful to have these Ayruvedic coaching sessions with you and to learn to understand the importance of the energetics of our bodies and doshas. It IS all about healing foods with the energy for our particular doshas to be brought into balance and not just about what we might consider "healthy" foods. GS
