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 Hot Quality
You would do anything to deal with the pain of IC 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

Castor plant
As you know at times the pelvic pain from IC can become unbearable and many in the IC community have talked and written about the use of the castor oil pack As a matter of fact these packs can be a great refuge from the chronic pain
Even if the relief is short lived it can bring a reprieve Wow, what would it be like if castor could give you complete relief and the pain never came back ever? In the energy science healing tradition of Ayurveda there are many reasons that a dis-ease occurs so the treatments must be multifactorial as well But you may be interested in why castor works from an energy perspective
The oil expelled from the seeds of the castor plant have medicinal purposes when used internally or externally Not to be confused with cascara which comes from the bark of a tree castor seeds specifically reduce the hot quality when applied externally
As we discussed last time with you the combination of the hot and mobile qualities or vibrational frequencies(these terms are interchangeble) lead to the sometimes excruciating symptoms of IC in the pelvis, at times focused in the area of the bladder IC is marked by inflammation which is hot
Taken internally castor brings the hot quality because of how it’s digested and as a result produces diarrhea The hot vibrational frequency in the small bowel and colon leads to increased bowel activity But castor oil applied externally in the form of a pack is cooling or brings the cold vibrational frequency
Hence balance is created when hot is treated with its opposite quality cold In energy science healing as you remember it’s not about the molecules and dis-ease labels as in matter science healing Healing is brought about by balance But balance of what? Balance of the vibrational frequencies that are out of balance In the case of interstitial cystitis the imbalance of the hot and mobile qualities is balanced by the qualities of cold and stable If you question some of your friends you may surprised to find that they have a subtle sense in the pelvis of hot which becomes even more pronounced when they urinate with a burning sensation
It’s quite simple to do Fold a thin cotton towel that you don’t want anymore into the size of the lower abdomen(below the belly button) Moisten the cloth with castor oil thoroughly and apply some castor also to the area Then apply the towel and cover with a dry towel or heating pad Moist heat as from a hot water bottle works best but an electrical pad will work as well I have been asked “If you have the hot quality why use more heat” The heat relaxes the abdominal wall muscles reducing muscle spasm Spasm from muscle contraction can be quite painful This allows the castor to be more effective
Leave in place for 30 minutes or so then wash the excess castor off the skin Don’t try to scub it off but leave a slight film to allow it to continue to have its effect The pack can be re-used for a couple of weeks so store in a plastic bag but should consider “recharging” the thin cotton towel with more castor as you reuse it
You should use a high quality castor product I have used a brand named Palma Christi which you can find in any number of online stores including amazon
As I mentioned in the beginning there are multiple reasons why IC occurs and so healing is mutifactorial It’s not just one thing that solves the imbalance but multiple things that we do If interested in this curative approach to IC you can also do some other things

read moreA “flare” is a common phrase used in IC circles to describe the sudden occurrence of pain around voiding It can also describe the pelvic pain associated with the burning and frequency of urination that can be part of the recurrent symptom complex so characteristic of interstitial cystitis
You may remember the graph on the home page near the bottom If not go check it out now because it will show you the ups and downs of ANY dis-ease in the physiology Even acute conditions such as renal colic from urinary stones or appendicitis have these ups and downs through their period of dis-ease But chronic dis-eases such as IC as you know have their ups and downs as well And these ups are called flares when there is an upswing A sudden change in dis-ease or loss of the balanced steady state
But what would it be like to gradually be free of the flares? If you resolved your flares it would free you up for so many other things that you want to accomplish in your life If interested read on
Almost universally survey respondents voiced their disbelief that there was not a determined scientific causation by the urological community What can be done to get help?
Our current molecular medical model states that the molecule causes the disease One quote from a survey respondent was “That the pain gets out of control, I stress, I cry and then it gets worse because of the acid pouring into my bladder” This comment underlies the premise by the current healing model that the acid molecule causes the pain
No question that acid causes the pain And no question that if a change is diet takes the acid out that molecule then the flares will resolve End of story IC is fixed But unfortunately that’s not the case You know that by experience
Since Einstein made his elegant mathematical observation E=mc2 matter and energy are recognized as interchangeable at a constant Because of this new understanding of nature as a scientific world community we are able to put men in space, explore Mars, and enjoy Facebook! But the world of biological healing is woefully mired in the matter science world of Newtonian physics
If we put on our energy science glasses to view the human physiology we begin to see not molecules but energy patterns that express themselves as qualities Qualities become the footprints of the biological energy field
For example, words you use contain the clues as to what qualities are occurring in the physiology “Flare” is one such example When you use that word what comes up for you? Heat, hot, a blast of heat And by the way, what do we say when voiding occurs It’s burning again suggesting the hot quality
So the current matter or molecular model measures molecules and how they cause disease The energy science model sees dis-ease in terms of qualities Too much hot represents an imbalance somewhere in inner space Dis-ease is an imbalance of qualities
If people are sick some might feel a bit uneasy if they asked their surgeon why he thought they had appendicitis and he responded, “No particular reason I’d just like to operate this afternoon” We all want to have confidence in the thinking that goes on behind the scenes in medical decision making particularly when it comes to ME All healing disciplines should give us that confidence
And when the healing discipline we are using isn’t fixing our painful flare we would like to know why(I would hope but then again people do surprise us) I contend we have the wrong model for healing certain chronic dis-eases, in this case IC
The reason that this energy versus molecular medical healing model issue is so important is that it’s the difference between having painful flares and living a life that is free of them This may seem like an outlandish statement but it is true You just have to trust the process Fortunately as you do this energy science work it brings faith and with that more trust
If you’re interested in gradually eliminating flares in your life the first thing to do is: Take responsibility for your healing This means that when you are looking at a food choice that is in the NO column that you consciously make the choice to avoid the food And remember, this is about baby steps If you haven’t signed up to be part of our growing IC community looking at healing IC not just treating it and getting the free report that will get you started
