First I want to say that if I could only have one book, this would be the one I would want. This book has literally been a godsend and became a bible for me on my path to natural healing.
The author, Amrit K Willis, RN, BSN, is a holistic nurse and a recovered IC (interstitial cystitis) patient. The diet and health procedures in his guidebook to natural healing are based on his personal experiences, training, and research. She is not a doctor and makes it known that the information in her book is for educational and research purposes only.
Amrit’s basis for IC recovery begins with alkalizing the body. She includes in the healing process leaky gut treatment, hormonal balance, allergy treatment, liver detoxification, and healing of the digestive and endocrine systems. Also included are stress management, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to heal the body, mind, and spirit.
Amrit believes that interstitial cystitis (IC) is not ‘just’ a disease of the bladder, but rather a manifestation of accumulated imbalances in the body. He has dedicated his book to all the people who suffer from interstitial cystitis and to the professionals who help us.
The procedure you write about that helped me the most was your elimination diet. It was hard, at first, and I had to make several attempts to ‘stick to the schedule’ but…once I did, it was only a matter of weeks before the stabbing pain in my bladder stopped altogether!
If you or a loved one has IC (interstitial cystitis), consider reading this book. I truly believe the information will start you on your path to healing.
