If you are eating carrots, this is an important thing to read!

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO,   LOBLAWS,etc

..are talking on this website with one another. So, please keep this in mind when you are struggling to find someone who has symptoms like yourself. There are only a very few number of people speaking to one another on this chat site compared to how many people I treat and have treated.

It is natural to want to connect to others who are like you-but the truth is, this condition renders so many different kind of symptoms even though they are very similar. As human beings, we are all so different. And, even though this disease is one disease-it really manifests quite differently
in the people that it affects based on the individual nature of the person, how they developed the condition, and many other extenuating factors in that person's life.

Generally after a person has started to experience the symptoms of IC, sex has already
become unbearable. There are few exceptions to this rule. The vaginal area is usually involved
and if not, penetration affects the bladder so much that it triggers all of the basic symptoms
the person is experiencing with hers or his IC so much that thinking about sex is out of the
question.

It is commonly understood in Western medicine and otherwise that this dynamic may not be
changed. What I would like to communicate is that, as the body becomes better balanced, so
do the various other parts of one's physiological function such as sexual function.

The vaginal balance should become much more normalized. For example, if there is excessive

Sometime you think to yourself that everyone knows what you know or that everyone thinks in the way that you think.

Please everyone do not forget--when you wipe-DO NOT wipe forward!

When you wash yourself in the shower, wash the vagina first and rectum second then wash your hands. Do not wash your rectum then your vagina.

This seems elementary-but people do things sometimes without really thinking about how easy it is to get an infection in this way.

When you are having sex-also be thoughtful to remember these kinds of rules!

I know this fight from the road of illness to the road of wellness is a difficult one. Struggling
with obstacles outside of our control, outside of our understanding presents a pain and a conflict within ourselves that is difficult at best to overcome and sometimes so overwhelming that
it seems unattainable.

In past and present times when I have been faced with issues of the body, of the soul, and of the mind, I have fought hard to overcome, I have fought for what I felt was the truth and the truth eventually showed itself. None of it came easily. But, when it came, I knew that I had fought for it, and won.

Was a great success. I think we all enjoyed our discussion about health and diet and the
challenges that one faces with this condition. Everyone had wonderful suggestions to share
about their own experiences with the others in the group.

As always, the energy was positive and filled with lots of love and hope and encouragement-
all things that are very important to the human spirit, especially in times of need such as
illness.

I want to thank everyone for their participation and tell each of you how much I enjoy these
meetings:).

Of late it seems that there is a lot of commentary on those who can make it through this
kind of treatment successfully. It has come to my attention that certain people are suggesting that only people who are a little unwell can achieve good results with this treatment.

I have endeavored to post in a subtle manner previously, but, this post will be a bit less so.
There are other websites that would like to steer you away from ICAMA and me,
Dr. Brizman, and have gone to great lengths to keep others from knowing about my
treatment.

In the past, and again recently, it has come to my attention that there is a person or
persons who are saying things that are untrue about me, and about the work that I do,

I want to say thank you to those special IC angels who have taken time out from their personal lives to give back and help others that are new and in need of extra comfort.

It takes a lot to be able to do that. And, I certainly have no expectation from anyone to do that. But, to those of you who stepped forward and did so, I wanted to give a special thank you.

It helps others to have a hand to take when in pain-emotional and physical. I am here as
much as I can be for all of you. But, those extra little angels out there with big hearts who
take an extra moment to email, and share a thought or a feeling, or pick up the phone,
or just give some kind of list or understanding makes this world what it should be--people helping people!

...you have landed on a website rich with support and information on alternatives or
adjunctive treatments to the standard methods of treatment that exist today.

If you are looking for those kinds of options, this means
that you feel that those standard treatments have not worked for you or that you are
looking for something to work in place of or in conjunction with your present treatment
choice.

I think the most significant difference between this site and other sites is that we offer
a lot of hope-stories written by people who have made it through the darkest hours of
IC and now have their life back. And, our chat site offers a place to vent and share
and reach your hands out for someone else to hold.
