As many of you know, I focus a great deal on the use of bacterial balancing in the body in relation to chronic illness in general adn of course, specifically, IC.
Looking for that something that will take the edge off the symptoms of IC is a normal quest. often people turn to marijuana thinking it is less toxic than alcohol on the bladder. And, most people find it does give them a lot of relief.
I want to give a very big warning to all of you trying to get over your symptoms. Pot will keep you unwell!
I have not had one person get well smoking pot over the last decade and a half that I have been treating this condition. It is a very unforgiving substance. In fact, I have had many people be unwell because of excessive marijuana use.
..but please remember, it is true. EVERYONE is different! Comparing how a particular supplement effects you with another person can get very confusing because two people may have identical symptoms but need very different treatment for it. Furthermore, what he or she is being given for that problem will also require many many changes over a period of time. Health is dynamic (changing), and when in a "disease" state, the dynamics are flowing even faster. In order to effectively address any chronic illness, one must go with those changes by following the body responses to them.
