I just want to say that something Matia said in last months support meeting was that IC is not a disease of the bladder rather then the intestines and that the bladder is effected by it as a result. its a bold statement but i agree. SO when your treating with her and you dont feel like she is treating your symptoms of the bladder remember that is not how this protocall works.
the gut
I have heard her say that before, and I find it fasinating, and encouraging at the same time. To know that I will be healing my gut along with my bladder. I know the Gut is like your 2nd brain, so it will be great to have a healthy 2nd brain! I know most disease stems from the gut. I am just sorry I did not know this sooner. Not sure if it would have helped anyway though, when you are not sick, you normally dont pay to much attention to reading about the gut. I just expected my body to do its job, without effort from me. I see now, that was not a correct way of thinking.
IC
I loved how Matia said that the root of the problem is the imbalance in the small intestine and the other problems are the branches. It feels better thinking everything is connected instead of several parts of my body are falling apart.
thank you!
that's a great reminder Nicole. Thank you!
