From KC in the U.S. North East
I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) in 2009 by a urologist, who informed me that I would likely have to rely on painkillers for the rest of my life. The recommended treatment was Elmiron, but after researching its potential side effects, I opted not to pursue that route. This diagnosis left me feeling overwhelmingly depressed and I was almost housebound by the condition.
I spent three solid days researching on successful treatments for IC. During this time, I discovered bomamed and Matia, a Chinese medicine doctor. At my first appointment she told me she could help me and she gave me hope again. I began treatment with her immediately, I saw some improvements right away on the dose of her herbs/supplements and diet change.
After approximately two months of following her regimen, I began to experience noticeable relief. While overall I took a long time to heal I had lots of other things going on physically and in my personal life that caused me a lot of stress, I eventually reached a point where I felt about 95% better and see this day I still feel 95% better or more. I can go four hours without needing to use the bathroom. I can sleep eight hours through the night. I feel like a different person and it’s because of Matia. This journey to recovery was not instantaneous, but it was incredibly rewarding and worth every step.
I made significant lifestyle changes, including a strict dietary overhaul—eliminating sugar, alcohol, and certain fungal foods. Additionally, I removed a very stressful relationship from my life, which I believe contributed to my overall healing. I chose to forgo painkillers entirely, which I am grateful for, especially after learning of the severe side effects some individuals have faced, including blindness.
Matia and Boaz are the most wonderful human beings I have ever met. They are kind, caring, honest, and nonjudgmental. I can’t imagine treating with anyone but them for this condition and I can’t recommend them more. Thank you so much for helping me Matia and Boaz!
