I just went to an IC round table in my town. This was my second time in one of this meetings. Everybody was sharing their stories, saying how much they struggle with ic, and how bad they feel, and how much they dnt know what else to do. Some of them start crying in the middle of their stories, others give support offering little piece of chocolate etc. I was just sitting there quiet leasining each one of them. Then my time to tell my story come, I dnt say names or anything, just breefly, explaint how after 2 years of conventional treatments more then 60 instills I decided to try something else. How I dnt take drugs or pain killers , I say Im doing chinese medicine and acupuncture.
Sudenly one the ladys ask me if i was seeing Mathia Brizman, I say yes, is Mathia the one Im seeing.... then she say, oh no, just be really carefull, I talk to ( some other lady from IC network) and she doesnt want anything to do with Brizman.....
Unfortunately this lady was across the room ,so I can not ask her exactly why she was saying that, at that point all the others womans start talking and the last thing I noticed she was wispering something to the lady next to her.... breefly after that I took off, I was feeling very uncomfortble. Like I dnt belong there. I did leave but before that i say to all those other ones whom ask me more stuff, "This is my personal choise how I want to be treat and one thing I dnt want anymore is put more drugs in my body after two years of no having any results from my conventional treatment, I decided to try something different. and that something different is Mathias Protocol. Takes a lot of discipline and self control from you but thats a price i willing to pay in order to get better . Some people can do this kind of things , others can't. I want to try it putting my 100 %. After that I took off...
Why people is so skeptical about chinise medicine? When western medicine have no clue how to get ride of this condition at all. Some Doctors even claim "is no such a IC thing ", UCLA thinks ( and I know because I part of the voluntaries for a reserch about IC right now) IC is more like something wrong in our brain,in our nerve system.
I know personally Doctors have no clue how to treat IC... is going to take years! before they find some sore of cure. By then I will be 60... Intill then I will keep trying and I know if there ir one way out is not thru laboratory drugs...
Sorry if my post bother somebody, is not my intention. Im just sharing my experience, maybe one of you guys been thru the same.
Regards
I'm grateful that all of us have found this place
Dear Gaby,
Man, you've had a bad experience. I believe that Dr. B has struggled against such garbage. I just don't understand it. I had to switch my western doctor because I needed someone that would work with me and Dr. B when the need arose. I didn't need someone who told me point blank that I was wasting my money. She wouldn't even listen to all the things that had improved - vaginal dryness pretty well gone, ear canals not closed shut, irregular paps cleared up, ear ringing nearly gone, smelly vaginal discharge gone and bladder pain fairly infrequent.
I just don't get it - what a waste.
Take Care
Hi Gaby, I feel so bad for
Hi Gaby, I feel so bad for you. I was already aware of criticism of Matia, so when I am in contact with anyone who is trying to recover from IC, I never tell them about Matia because I am always afraid I will encounter what you have encountered.Try not to let it get to you, remember what Matia herself has said, respect other peoples choices and respect your own, its all you can do. I have to laugh about the chocolate being passed around though, even the IC network doesnt advise eating chocolate when you are trying to heal your bladder.
It's crazy, sounds like some
It's crazy, sounds like some people just don't want to get better. The proof is in the pudding so to speak! The results quite clearly speak for themselves.
I'm about to ask a conventional urologist (who was about to give me botox before I happened on this site) why they know nothing of IC and how it affects the body and how they can remove bladders etc when they have no idea of the cause of iC!!
I'm thinking I'll probably be asked to leave but I don't care I'm going to explain my situation to him, in the hope that he puts a bit more thought into how his whole urology department treats IC. I'm even going to ask if I can advertise a support group in the waiting area specifically for IC sufferers...
Its so easy for people to be
Its so easy for people to be critical of something or someone they don't understand. I knew right from the start that this illness was not going to get better the conventional way. The doctors didn't know what it was and then when they did figure it out they wanted to put me on antidepressants? for my bladder?? none of that made sense to me. So I read a bunch of books, searched the internet and started my own program to wellness. I would say I have improved about 25% on my own. I am going to Matia in 25 days and I am full of confidence that she will get me the other 75% better.
Don't let skeptics upset you. They don't know what they are talking about. Have faith....you will get better. Eating a good diet can only lead to better health.
Everyone has their own path,
Everyone has their own path, may be today they critize you and tomorrow they will understand what Matia does. She is beyond what they can think. Even if they don't understand, it is OK, like I said everyone is respeonsible from their own lives. It is good to inform others about this protocol and to try to help pthers but if they are not interested in, just think: they might not be ready. Even further, in your case, they are really being rude(gossping, whispering) beside from critizing let it go. Dont let all these confusions of others penetrate your own mind. Just trust your instincts which always help. Hope you feel better soon.
Matia as mentor
I agree with all of you. If this was all some experimentation to find the cure, i would pick to be Matia's experiment 100% than any of the rude doctors i had before her who don't even care! I put so much trust and respect in Matia, i take it personally when anyone suggests me even getting a second opinion. I think of her as a lifestyle mentor now.
Skeptics
I personally think that there are many ways to get better. I think Matia is brilliant and if you believe she can get you better then don't look back. Try not to be discouraged by those who are not better and don't agree with your aproach. Just try and remember that if one can person can be healed so can you. Matia has helped many heal you are on the right track and can get yourself better.
