From previous blogs the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and vulvodynia) is a neuropathy that stems from an imbalance in the agni of the colon specifically the rectosigmoid and rectum. This leads to an energetic imbalance in the colon leading to an imbalance in the pelvic nerves. In the last blog we discussed the role of the common probiotics in today’s marketplace by way of the handout offered to subscribers on request These common probiotics are regarded bacteriologically as aerobes However last time we introduced another important player, the facultative anaerobe as prominent players in the microbiome Today we introduce the third player, mushrooms which as mycelia support the microbiome
Mycelia(this term is used interchangeably with mushrooms) have been used in the Traditional Oriental Tradition for thousands of years particularly the Reishi mushroom In Ayurveda mushrooms for balanced people are considered to slow the system down But for patients with significant diseases such as ICPBS mycelial therapy can be very important for healing the sick microbiome because it enhances agni
From an AY perspective agni is central to the disease process If one has a balanced agni then physiologic dis-ease cannot occur Due to our choices around diet(ahara), lifestyle(vihara) and medicines/supplements(dravya) gunas or qualities of the doshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha produce disturbance of the agni. The net result of this agni disturbance is the production of toxic load(ama) which clogs the energy channels and over time becomes hot(amavisha). This toxic load clogs the channels leading to blockage of energy which leads to pain in the pelvic organs, namely the bladder, vagina, prostate, and rectum.
So the essence of treating physiologic dis-ease of any type is to restore balance to a disturbed agni. This takes time because there has to be a gradual release of the dosha qualities and the gradual elimination of stored up ama/amavisha or toxic load in the energy channels.
An aspect of agni in the physiology is represented by the gut microbiome(gut bacterial flora). Although agni has a pervasive physiologic impact throughout the entire mindbody, a healthy microbiome in the gut provides immense support to the mindbody’s health by improving agni since agni and the microbiome are one and the same
The first step in providing support to the gut agni is to alter the diet to one that is alkalanizing as we have discussed in the past with the green composite protein recipe. The second step is to begin to restore the microbiome with “good guys” and overwhelm the growth of the “bad guys” using mycelia

In a recent article the Washington Post(https://wapo.st/30TtyIT) reviewed the reasons people are reluctant to take the COVID vaccine. One significantly addressed reason in the article is that many antivaxxers are followers of alternative health social media platforms that sow misinformation about the current vaccines which mislead their loyal followers who have grown to trust the messaging as reliable and trustworthy.

This leads to an energetic imbalance in the colon leading to an imbalance in the pelvic nerves.
In the last blog we discussed the role of the common probiotics in today’s marketplace by way of the handout offered to subscribers on request These common probiotics are regarded bacteriologically as aerobes However there are 2 other prominent players in the microbiome Today we introduce the second player, the faculatative anaerobe which plays a bigger role in the microbiome than those that are currently marketed as aerobes seen in yogurt and probiotic pills
The reason these organisms play such an important role in the are microbiome is that they create an enormous mass of cell growth that crowd out bad actors such as Clostridia and Candida keeping them in modest numbers When the numbers become imbalanced the agni becomes imbalanced
From an AY perspective agni is central to the disease process If one has a balanced agni then physiologic dis-ease cannot occur Due to our choices around diet(ahara), lifestyle(vihara) and medicines/supplements(dravya) gunas or qualities of the doshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha produce disturbance of the agni.
