My observation is the etiology of IC is a manifestation of accumulating body imbalances. The foundation of recovering from IC begins with alkalizing the body. Included in the healing process are treating leaky gut, balancing hormones, addressing allergies, detoxifying the liver, and healing the digestive and endocrine systems. Stress management, nutrition and lifestyle changes are also included in order to heal body, mind, and Spirit. I healed IC. Others are healing, too. This book outlines my discovery and recovery from IC and the knowledge I have gained through my continuing communication with others. We are empowering ourselves and regaining our lives naturally and holistically by following healthy guidelines. Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Average Rating:

I found this book and decided to follow it whole heartedly. Following the advice of this book wasted a lot of my precious time in pain. I remember that time being horrific, I was peeing on strips of paper and I was in a maze of what was causing my burning every time I peed and why I was peeing every few minutes I also was sure I had a yeast infection, even though my cultures came back negative I felt itching ...
