You can heal your life... by Louise Hay... Amazing...
Along the Healing Path, Simone.
A Headache in the Pelvis, Wise/Anderson
I agree with Along the Healing Path, its a really absorbing book. I was following a lot of Catherine Simones ideas before I started with Matia but have put all my herbal teas away now that I'm in treatment.
I've just ordered your book Jeanette, only 1 penny second hand here in the UK.
Read it with an open mind. I got the dvd to go with it and it was very powerful. I had to make sure that I did not become defensive while watching it, but accepted it with an open heart and mind in the hopes that I don't care what it takes or what I have to believe, but that I must get better.
Along the Healing path, and
The Healing Crisis /Bruce Fife
Again, Catherine Simone's books
Norman Cousin's 'Anatomy of an Illness'
Matia's dissertation
Cath Simone's third book--I forget what it's called. I know To Wake In Tears is first, then Along the Healing Path. The third book--very interesting and thought provoking. Deals more with the mental and emotional components of IC

I started with ICA books, then Catherine Simone- healing path. Then I read Cyctitis and IC, ....and Yeast-2 books by Angela Kilmartin from the UK (I thought both were excellent). I checked out from the library candida cook books- Overcomming Candida- The ultimate cookery guide- Williams Xandria, and The Candida Albicans yeast-free cookbook- Connolly Pat. They promote diets similar to Matias but each one is a little different.
I also loved The Allergy and Asthma Cure by Dr. Dean Mitchell MD- also has alot on Candida and a similar diet.
I have also read Matias dissertation and Interstitial Cystitis by Dr. Moldwin- the ICA (interstitial Cystitis Assn) original guide book. I also joined and get their magazines which are trending more wholeistic and alternative all the time. The issue I got this week is all about pain, music therapy, art therapy.
There are also some great yoga and healing type books.
The more I read, the more I see that most of them have similar ideas, but each has something new to learn.
Our library has so many health and diet books- it would keep you busy for years!
I order most of these from the library and pay for very few. Save your money for Matias appointments and herbs. I started a support group and we share books and magazines too.
