Its my understanding she is unable to take new patients. I work with her husband Boaz. Before starting I had alot of trepidation about that because I had read all these wonderful things about Matia. I LOVE treating with Boaz. He is gentle, caring, sensitive, knowledgeable and understanding. Matia holds him in great esteem. I dont believe she would ever turn her patients over to anyone she didnt. I have been in treatment one year and I am having great results. As you have probably read we are all different. It depends on how long, how many treatments, drugs have been administered, etc. they do not treat symptoms but the core problem and the body overall in trying to create a healthy body that basically heals itself. It has been hard work on my part and yes an expense but I have not regretted it nor has my husband. I wish you the best for your daughter as you try to make your decision. 

Oh, I SOOO understand your fears. I had IC for 17 years before I found Dr. Brizman. I had been down so many rabbit trails ... spent tons of money and always ended up at the same miserable place. I have been treating with Boaz for 13 months. As Patty said, I am very happy with him. He is very kind and knowledgeable and so encouraging. I'm not well. I was doing great for 7-8 months and then got hit with some terrible anemia issues that threw me off and set back my treatment. But I still believe that this is a good treatment option. The important thing to know is that the path to healing is not a straight line. There are hills and valleys and from what I understand it can take 1-3 years for healing with this treatment. Two years seems to be where people really begin to feel like they are feeling "normal" the vast majority of the time. That doesn't mean, though, that you aren't making progress and feeling better along the way. I hope my experience is helpful. :) I know this it's tough, but I don't think your daughter would regret it. 

I've had a long hard battle with health.  Up until six years ago I repeated breast cancer three times every five years - I black humor called it my five year plan.  The last time, six years ago, I sat in my surgeons office, bald, tired, and sicker than a dog.  While I normally don't hold most western docs in high regard, this man was my gift.  He looked at me, read my eyes, and told me that NOW was not the time to give up on hope.  You have found a place that I believe helps most people to get their lives back - with odds that may well beat the cancer odds that I was given  six years ago.  Now, cancer free, pretty much symptom free from IC, I hope that you grab onto the same words that my surgeon gave me.  I truly believe that having hope is something that should never be given up on until the only option is acceptance.  In my heart I don't think that now is that time for your daughter.  You've found a place that I hold dear as another one of lifes gifts.

Sincerely,

Denise

I have loved my experience treating with Matia and I ma much much better and continue to expereinced terrific success after a TON of hard work since 2008. I had a huge mess of an imbalance and we have worked on my health from the root to the leaf.

Message me privately if you have specific questions. I wish you both the best on your healing journey. 

Sincerely,

Mary 

After 14 years of having waves of strange symptoms and relentless bladder pain that ruled my life, I am pain free and almost symtom free. There is success to be found here, but it takes a tremendous amount of discipline, patience, communication, faith and a sense of humor. I agree that it has not been a linear path to health, but I am forever changed by Matia and the commraderie of the friends I have made here.

HOneybee- I love that: "root to the leaf"

My daughter and I both treat with Matia and are both doing so well. My husband has treated with Boaz and improved wonderfully with GERD. Many IC patients
Improve under his care. I would go with my husband to his apts and love to chat with Boaz. (It was a very early morning apt and we live 3 1/2 hours away.) I would always come away having learned something new from him. My husband is med free and most days symptom free after seeing Boaz over two years ago. We both continue to learn how to manage our health. Love and prayers to you to find the help your daughter needs here. My daughter is doing so well. I remember encouraging her to just make the appointment. She is so glad she did as she is feeling symptom free most days and is 7 months pregnant and doing so well in her pregnancy. :)
