I don't know where this article was extracted from. Someone sent it to me, and I thought it was very well communicated. For the record, I did not write it! It's content begins discussing diabetes, but really, it is about autoimmune disorders and the challenges of our immune system in today's world. One could replace the word IC with many of the other diagnoses listed in this article:

...one day they will find out that they really ARE bad for you! I stopped putting mine to my head a year ago or more. I wish I had started sooner. And, of course, I don't know if that is really hekping completely either. But, this article is interesting on the topic of cell phone toxicity:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/health/3209395/Mobile-phone-use-causes-rise-in-skin-problem.html

So, I received a phone call the other day regarding the FDA finding lead in some of the children's vitamins on the market. He had a long conversation with us reagarding this issue and that the FDA was not correct in their reporting. I was alarmed and upset. As upset as I was in the first place because one of the vitamins that was named was one I was giving my family! I asked that he give me more to go on and more information that could help me clear up this confusion. So, perhaps what I posted weeks ago was not correct.

This week our greatest success was being listed on the ICA website, Interstitial cystitis' largest association. It is an honor to be listed on their site, thank you ICA! We will be starting this website as we said earlier in the week, to provide support for those in Dr. Brizman's treatment, but also to reach out and offer any help we can to those choosing a different path with dietary information and lifestyle suggestions, and of course, simple support from the heart. Dr. Brizman will be conducting these monthly groups which will be help on the first Saturday of every month from 4-6 p.m.

Feelings of inadequacy are common amongst the population of people with IC. Perhaps inadequacies even more-so with women having IC. This issue may interrupt one's ability to handle social stresses that come their way leaving them more vulnerable to the ill effects of stress.

..happens in a lot of places, more than we know. I have repeatedly comminicated the importance of bottled spring water in the treatment of IC. There are many issues involved in this, and I am working on understanding other options. But mean time, I feel that it is important to continue to remind people about the issues with water:http://www.naturalnews.com/024473.html

Although this article focuses on infant formula, the concepts are relevant to adults. And, many people with IC may owe thier condition to their healthcare from early childhood and even infanthood. I recommend not eating soy durin treatment and limiting it tremendously afterwards.http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/infant.html

ICAMA, the Interstitial Cystitis Alternative Medical Association is very excited to announce that it has started a new support group. The goal of this group is to offer support for those in the ICAMA treatment and to offer outreach support for those wanting to learn ways of supporting their chosen treatment with nutritional and product use information. This group will be available for local people and with technology what it is, we are going to try and make it available for our long distance patients and interested people!
