As many of you know, I have said repeatedly that getting IC can be an invitation to changing the course of the rest of your life and actually preventing more horrible diseases like cancer in addition to making your bod healthier and well balanced. It is hard to see something like that when you are really sick and struggling. When my mother had cancer and was dying, I often thought to myself, cancer must be linked with candida and other microbiological imbalances. But, unfortunately, my mother did not choose to follow the path of my advice, instead, she relied upon the advice of other people who insisted that at her age she should not have to give up wine and ice cream and other kinds of decadent goodies. I had to honor my mother's process and her choices in life and sickness. After taking that advice to heart and increasing her doses of chemotherapy (she had been on much lower doses perviously) she had the final strike that cancer had in store for her and that lead to her quick decline and ultimate death. I am so suprised to have read this article now regarding the connection between fungus and cancer--I thought this realiztion might take another 20 years. So, very happily, I am including it on today's blog:

cancer worries
In the months leading up to my having full-blown IC I found myself obsessively worrying that I would get cancer. I had 2 small children and I was so worried about getting sick and leaving them behind. I lost my father to cancer 25 years ago (he was only 47!) and my mom was pronounced "cancer free" less than 2 months before I was hit hard with IC. Cancer was on my mind a lot. The amazing thing is after I started to improve on Matia's program, my cancer worries went by the wayside. I really don't think about cancer much at all anymore. I believe that had I not started on Matia's program and built my health back up, I was well on my way to getting cancer. My body knew it and was pretty much shouting at me to make some changes. Most people just shake their head in disbelief when I say that getting IC was a blessing in disguise for me, it has given me a chance to hit the restart button on my life. Thank you Matia!
Blessing In Disguise
I often use that statement to describe IC. I completely agree, it is a blessing in disguise. That is very hard to see I think for many people. But, it is so important to understand that terminal illness does not just happen all of the sudden. It has brewed for years on end before the body has succumbed to its destructive force. I was a part of a conversation a few nights ago where this subject came up in relation to another person having suffered with a chronic problem for years without help. Explaining this concept was really difficult and foreign. Making the connections like these are difficult, but, trying to get your head around this subject is super helpful when you are trying to get on the road to wellness--because perspective about the journey your body has been on and is going on is so important to success in my opinion.
