While the advent of antibiotics has surely saved an imeassurable number of lives, their overuse has caused an enormous number of problems ranging from resistant strains of bacteria to a society of people with weakened immune systems and a higher percentage of chronic illness. Any one who has read any of my own research regarding IC knows that I relate antibiotic overuse as one cause of Interstitial Cystitis. Another intersting article for today's reading:

Emotion! The reaction that a person has to thoughts, to words, to expression of emotion are so powerful. They are energy. They effect us each every day every moment of our lives. We are not even always aware of just how much they are affecting us. This morning on my way to work I was thinking about this topic and wanting to discuss specifically the healing effects of love particularly. Loving yourself, being in a loving realtionship(s), giving love. Giving love is another especially important way to feel and experieince love and healing. There are all kinds of ways to give love.
I have posted on this topic before, but I have had a request for more on this subject. As one goes through this kind of a protocol to addressing their IC, they will find that the vaginal tissue will respond along with the bladder sensations. Typically in the beginning of treatment, the vagina is often as painful as the the bladder, making sexual intercourse nearly if not completely impossible. Commonly, the vaginal tissue is dry, but, it may be simply painful and not dry. Orgasm can cause more pain, and, to make matters worse, the aggravation caused by sex may last for days.
