It’s long been held that genes are fixed and if we have genetic predisposition to specific diseases in our family gene pool that there is a strong likelihoold that we’ll experience the same Common examples come to mind Alcoholism, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and even the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) or components of the syndrome are inheritable
But the matter science model of disease is coming to the realization that all disease is genetic at some level And that’s because even our behaviors which lead to diseases are genetically driven So when we are addicted to cigarettes, the genetically driven addiction leads to in some cases lung cancer Or our genetically driven choices regarding the foods we eat lead to the IC bladder pain syndrome
But we need not fee victimized by our genes Only 5% of the time do our genes become the responsible agent for disease The other 95% of the time genes play an influential role in the disease process but don’t actually cause the disease In other words biology doesn’t spell our destiny
It turns out that genes are highly active to influences around us and, yes, within us The whole mindbody through its genes are always listening to what’s going on in the environment which causes our gene expression to change on a moment to moment basis Cold or hot weather affects gene expression, life events such as work stress and parking tickets, the foods that we eat, the entertainment choices that we make all impact our gene expression for the better or worse leading eventually to disease
We are constantly tallking to our genes with every thought, word, and action
From the energy science point of view mind is in every cell of the mindbody and resides in our DNA or our genetic pool
So the question becomes “What’s favorable genetic input and unfavorable genetic input” There are specific guidelines that the energy science helps us
1 When we settle the mind we settle our genes Meditation produces a calm, peaceful, clear mind that reduces anxiety, fear, loneliness, insecurity, anger, impatience, lethargy, and indecision A peaceful mind creates a stable genetic structure established in groundedness when exposed to chaos As we remember the more activity that is going on in the mindbody the more there is genetic activity The more genetic activity the more room for genetic mistakes This exposes us to the risk of creating genetic disease out of frenzied lifestyle behaviors

In the energy science the most common reason for the accumulation of qualities occurs through nutrition which is why nutritional management is the cornerstone of IC disease treatment The energy science management of the various disease expressions of the IC bladder pain syndrome with respect to nutrition is far more complex than the currently practiced dietary recommendations used by the contemporary dietician This is because one of the major tenets of the energy science approach is to help improve agni, the digestive power or strength
Agni is central to disease management in the energy science yet is completely not recognized in conventional medical circles including the nutritional This is due to the model of healing which is molecular approach
As disease progresses qualities leave the GIT(gastrointestinal tract) and spread to tissues based on whether specific agnis in the mindbody are not up to par Hence the qualities of hot and mobile become dominant BUT not as we would expect in the bladder and renal system
Actually the qualities of hot and mobile accumulate in the nervous tissue of the pelvis….the pelvic plexus…and cause ALL the symptoms that occur in the bladder, vagina, and prostate This model of disease has been postulated by the matter science research but an research animal model will defy molecular proof unfortunately(how does one measure qualities in tissues of the pelvic plexus?) Hence it will probably be impossible for the matter science ever get to the origin of disease in the IC bladder pain syndrome and it will continue to be in the dark regarding the origin of this problem The matter science model will never be able to solve this problem so don’t waste your time waiting because it will not happen
Just as when fingers interlace with one another the qualities of the tissues interlace with the qualities that are circulating leading to the damage and imbalance of the tissue qualities This leads the alteration of function of the tissues themselves In the case of the IC bladder pain syndrome the nervous tissue function becomes altered leading to the reporting predominantly of the hot and mobile qualities When this merging occurs a chronic condition is set up
When these qualities become dominant in the nervous tissue of the pelvis they begin to amalgamate with the tissue itself In other words the qualities BECOME one with the tissue This type of interrelationship begins the real stage of disease where we become aware of the significant signs and symptoms of the IC bladder pain syndrome
This amalgamation cannot be managed by simple nutritional intervention, by physical therapy techniques, it is beyond acupuncture, bladder therapies(cystoscopy, fulguration, instillations)….which are patently bandaids The quality invasion into tissues with toxic load has no other therapy but detoxification measures that we have discussed in the past in the form of panchakarma(PK) which if to be effective needs to be done frequently over a period of time Along with this we have to improve agni, burn toxins, along with potentized medicines that are catalytic in nature, and a specialized herbal formula
Those with chronic IC bladder pain syndrome will have no choice if they want to get better but to deal with an energy science detoxification technique and be in it for the long haul

The energy science of Ayurveda tells us that all of Nature including ourselves are composed of vibrational frequencies or qualities These qualities are arranged into energy patterns of Vata Pitta and Kapha The Pitta energy pattern is one of transformation Anything that happens in the mindbody that requires transformation is under the guise of this energy pattern of Pitta For example, enzymes that transform a piece of broccoli into heart, brain, and lung cells are expressions of the Pitta energy pattern As you’re reading this your Pitta is transforming this information and changing you in a subtle way, hopefully for the better
When people get angry, upset, irritated, or impatient they’re experiencing the Pitta energy pattern Often the reason why these emotions come up is because there is too much of the vibrational frequencies of Pitta in the physiology, usually the hot quality And as a matter of fact, the burning experienced with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) is a result of too much of this hot quality
But we can use this energy pattern of Pitta to energize us to get off point zero and take action Adding this heat to our mental framework can push us in the direction of transformation Here are 9 suggestions that we can think of…and perhaps more….to help us move to transforming our problem of the IC bladder pain syndrome into health
1 Decide for yourself that a new way of doing things(energy science approach) is worth a try
2 Get angry “Im fed up with this and can’t take any more of this nonsense in my life” Engage your Pitta energy to get transformative about doing something about your imbalance
3 Be ready to do the work over time to make a difference Realize that there’s no quick fix Nutrition is a piece of the healing puzzle Watching out for incompatible food combinations is part of the healing puzzle It’s not just one thing that produces the results you’re looking for in energy science work…it’s a culmination of a multiplicity of things that brings about healing of IC because all the self directed work that you is synergistic in producing a result
4 Use breath techniques to energize the physiology and improve motivation The Kapha energy pattern keeps us stuck in ruts so using breath techniques to reduce this energy pattern can be beneficial
5 Use the neti pot technique to reduce the Kapha energy pattern as in the above
6 Use nasya oil to help shift mental patterns of behavior
7 Get support to help you move along in this direction The hardest thing that people undertake in their lives is changing lifestyle behaviors that don’t help them in their quest to better health Having someone to support you in making these changes can be helpful It is best not to use a friend but someone who is more at a distance so that they can be rigorous in helping change patterns of behavior
8 Avoiding distractions which often take our attention away from the healing task at hand There are so many things in our lives vying for our attention Sales at department stores, the new entries on Facebook, responding to emails The more we can reduce these distractions the more we can pay attention to the work at hand
9 Use your imagination and creativity as to how to do transformative work For example, asking yourself what you can do to motivate yourself to do healing work can lead you into areas you hadn’t thought of before

Mast cells are part of the immune system and are found throughout the body particularly in areas of inflammatory reaction It has been found that those with IC and bladder ulcerative changes(<5% of the IC population) have 5x more mast cells than others with IC Thus those with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) may have a common pathway through excess mast cell production The reason that this becomes important is that the mast cell produces many irritating molecules that may mediate the pain complex that is present
There is a functional relationship between mast cell production and the autonomic nervous system which is the part of the nervous system that causes the bladder to function If the nervous system becomes hyperexcitable or extra nervous then this will in and of stimulate mast cell arousal This begins the cascade of molecular events that leads to the release of NGF, TNF, histamines, endokrines, and other modulating molecules that cause irritability
So the next question is “Why does the nervous system become irritable in the pelvic area?” This becomes a problem from the matter science point of view because the model cannot hold the space to allow an answer But the energy science model can explain the origin of the nervous system behavior based on the qualities that emanate from the lower rectum and come to reside in the pelvic nerves, both somatic and autonomic
This becomes a big deal as it gets to the heart of the origin of the IC bladder pain syndrome
In the energy science of Ayurveda there is a dictum that there is no pain without the Vata energy pattern So it’s not surprising that all pain syndromes have Vata involvement energetically mediated molecularly through the nervous system
1 Basti downregulates mast cell production by changing nerve plexus irritation This is a time honored way to deal with Vata imbalance which disturbs nervous tissue There are many forms of basti both internal and external Internal basti is done by placing herbal decoctions with oil, usually sesame, into the lower rectum by enema bag Many people with IC have been poked and jabbed by instruments or tubes going into the bladder Why would a comfortable placement of a tube into the lower rectum through the anus be such a big deal? So self done enemas can be a major step toward controlling the imbalance in the pelvic nerves and in so doing influence mast cell production and the symptoms of fatigue, cognitive disruption, sleep disorders, mood disorders, and general malaise
2 PeaPure or palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is actually a glial cell modulator(nervous system immune cells) that impacts mast cell formation through its interaction with NGF Its mode of action is more than likely by affecting the nervous system which induces the mast cells to begin with Due to the work of Nobel Price Laureate Rita Levi Montalcini who was the first to identify PEA as a mast cell inhibitor in 1993 Based on her work PEA has been extensively used as a analgesic and anti-inflammatory compound since the last decade, especially in the countries were PEA is available, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands It’s available as a nutraceutical in 400mg tablets
3 LDN(Low Dose Naltrexone) has been shown to be effective in forms of chronic pain syndrome It is a novel anti-inflammatory agent in the central nervous system, via action on microglial cells and may represent one of the first glial cell modulators to be used for the management of chronic pain disorders As a daily oral therapy, LDN is inexpensive and well-tolerated

read more“Ok give me the one thing that’s going to clear this IC thing that I have” typically goes the refrain going through our minds as we try to figure it what to do
In order to evoke a change toward real healing the mindbody needs to know that we’re serious about wanting to turn things around for us and move in a different direction Toward balance in this situation This means that there needs to be not only consistency in our actions but also a willingness to pile on the energetic effects produced by our actions
For example we might feel a tad bit better by introducing nutritional changes that bring about more physiologic balance Bringing about more balance to the physiology occurs when we stop adding to our imbalances For example, if we happen to have a Pitta Kapha energy constitutional make up then nuts are not a good choice for us because they carry the vibrational frequencies of heavy, slow, oily, static, and cloudy When we stop introducing these qualities of nuts into our physiology then the mindbody begins to shed those qualities that we were consistently putting into our mindbody
So we stop adding to the imbalance that is creating our ill health That’s a good thing…changing our nutrition so we don’t continue to keep ourselves sick A step toward healing has been made But there’s another layer What about incompatible food combinations? Well, by avoiding them we begin improving our agni That’s a good thing Another step has been taken
But then we can add another layer What about restructuring our day to a favorable time for the mindbody to do certain things…like getting up early to exercise, eating our biggest meal of the day at around noon, going to bed early to take advantage of the night time detoxification duties that the mindbody naturally does if we don’t interfere with them So another layer has been added to the complex process of energy healing And we should point out that this healing has not cost anything….only just changing the way we do things
So from an energy science point of view, real healing requires our participation and this layering effect There are a multiplicity of things to be done to bring physiologic balance and release excess vibrational frequencies that don’t serve us well
This layering phenomenon is actually promoting synergy It’s not just one thing but the multiplicity of things that are done that bring about the desired effect Each lifestyle behavior pattern that we add supports and makes stronger the previous pattern that we just put into place That is, these changes that we make feed on one another creating a grand foundation on which to support the healing of the condition that doesn’t serve us anymore
All disease except for trauma begins in the GIT and so this underscores why nutritional habits are so important But what nutritional habits? This is where the energy science can make its biggest contribution because the matter science molecular approach has no adequate model of disease So it becomes hit and miss recommendations So to heal the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromylagia) the foundational work of nutrition according to the energy science guidelines is very very...

From present day physics the body can be viewed as an energy field or molecular/matter field Modern day medicine follows an molecular approach to its study of disease whereas the energy sciences of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine(acupuncture) have developed sophisticated systems of healing to deal with man’s diseases The areas where the energy sciences have their most impact is in chronic disease and prevention since as we have discussed in the past the origin of disease is well worked out in the Ayurvedic energy science discipline
Because the energy science understands the origin of disease it can be effective in chronic diseases such as the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) From an energy science perspective disease is brought about due to an imbalance of vibrational frequencies called gunas or qualities So in IC the qualities that become out of balance are predominantly the hot and mobile qualities These qualities become overly abundant in affected tissues producing the symptoms
Although the energy science views the body’s anatomy in a similar way as the matter science discipline the channels through which energy flows are arranged conceptually in a different way The energy channels are called srotas and have specific characteristics that are unique to the energy body It is through these channels that the qualities move The most common way we alter the qualities of the body is through our nutrition which is why what we eat becomes so important in the management of the IC BPS
But there is a second channel system in the energy body called the nadi system which overlays the srotal system and is more subtle in its expression
This channel system only carries vibrational energy called prana and is more ephemeral than the above srotal system Unexplained spontaneous remissions of all forms of disease occur at this level of the energy body Our nadi system(microcosm) is responsible for the maintenance of our energetic aura(see diagram) and is our connection with the greater energy field(macrocosm)
The common concept shared by these two energy channel systems is agni, the digestive fire, or the ability to take an experience and completely comprehend its meaning And there are two bridges that connect the two systems such as the autonomic nervous system(fight or flight system) and the endocrine(hormones and thyroid gland) system The nadi channels are connected to the 5 senses so we can see that doing things to enhance the senses and clear them helps improve flow through them
In yogic classes where asana(posture) is performed the anatomy that is most common discussed and used is the nadi system Energy nadis such as the ida, pingula, and sushumna are terms often used There can be healing using the nadi system and the energy science of Ayurveda uses these concepts in therapies
Pranayama particularly kapalabhati because breath use and breath exercises are powerful ways to influence the fight or flight response which is managed by the above autonomic system From what we have just said not surprisingly this group of exercises can influence agni which is extremely therapeutic in management of disease Done routinely it can change the course of a disease Since the breath influences the subtle vibrational energy channels it can help clear the srotas and our aura
Kevala As part of the day in balance(dinacharya) oil pulling has been recognized by Western observers of health that it can bring about dramatic benefits Kevala influences the nadi channel system and hence has profound energetic consequences to the body
Nasya This is the application of herbs that are in an oil solution and has direct impact to both the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems Because this therapy influences both bridges to the nadi system it can have an impact on our subtle energy body, aura, and healing
Karna purna This is application of oil to the ears which have a connection to the nadi channels and can influence them
Marma and abhyanga The application of oils to the external surface of the body stimulates acupuncture points that Ayurveda calls marma These are subtle energy points that connect to the nadi system and improves pranic flow through the channels
All disease except for trauma begins in the GIT and so this underscores why nutritional habits are so important But what nutritional habits? This is where the energy science can make its biggest contribution because the matter science molecular approach has no adequate model of disease So it becomes hit and miss recommendations So to heal the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromylagia) the foundational work of nutrition according to the energy science guidelines is very very...
