Help For Those In Need

mbrizman — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:04:50 +0000

As many of you know because I have posted on this many times, my dream is to have a home for people to be able to come and get treatment for free or for much much less at least. This home would also serve as a bit of a haven for those having a really hard time with the IC needing a place to regroup for a month and get themselves back together. It may also serve as a place where someone who has no emotional support in need can come where people understand what is going on with them.

Sugar

mbrizman — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:26:51 +0000

This is a nice article about sugar, but only begins to describe how destructive it is. Sugar is rampant in our society, it it everywhere-so difficult to avoid. I get so frustrated as a mother because it is so hard to keep my children from it, and, in order to prevent eating disorders later in their lives, I do allow them to have some sugar in things (very limited) so that they don't start hanging out at their friend's houses hroding goodies behind my back! It is a fine line we have to walk as parents. But the more you can get sugar out of your life and the lives of your children, the better off everyone will be. It causes a lot of disease and inflammation in the body and there is just not enough awareness on the subject.

More on Mind Body

I always have to restate my position that I TRULY believe that IC is caused by very real physical reactions to many various things we do in our lives. So, I dont want people to think that when I post an article like this one that I am suggesting there is something wrong with you psycholgocially. However, I do also subscribe to the philosophy that our minds and bodies have two way streets. So physical effects the mental and mental effects the physical. The wonderful thing about this article is that it is one of many that points to the issue that we are not stuck with our genes. We can change the course we have been placed on genetically by rearranging our thoughts and our actions.

Iodide Scan Solution Side Effects

I thought was very interesting regarding the dye used in CT scans. There is little scientific data to my knowledge on this and the contrast dye used in MRIs. So, I thought this one would be good to post.

From The Heart

mbrizman — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:58:54 +0000

I want to say that today I was deeply touched and wanted to share why.

So often we all find ourselves, I am sure, being hurt by the dissapointment caused by unmet expectations. I know I myself have endured an incredible amount of disbelief and dissapointment in many situations and people I believed in over the past few years. But, as much as that is true, there are these moments of light that come from the most unexpected places and people that make up for all of those darker experiences.

Shampoo and Conditioner

mbrizman — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:06:55 +0000

I have promised for a few years now since I took my shampoo and conditioner off the shelf to try and put one back on. I just could not get a gentle one that I liked for a broad range of hair types. I have finally been able to focus on this effort and get this job done.

In the next couple of weeks Bomasense will have a new line of shampoo and conditioner: unscented (for list 1-3), mango (for end of list 3 on) , and lavender (for end of list 3 on).

I hope this helps add some nice choices for haircare.

The Mind Body Connection

mbrizman — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:24:16 +0000

Great article on the mind body connection and the power of belief of your own body. http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/news-your-mind-controls-how-your-bo...

Some may take the position that I am suggesting IC is in your mind, and that is not at all what I am suggesting. I believe that there are very concrete physical reasons for this condition occuring, but, I do believe that the mind has the power to influence your physiology and therefor influence the state of your health.

Great Article

Such a great article that illustrates the connection between our gut and other systems in our body.

Bone Broth, Sauerkraut, Home made Yoghurt, and more

I don't read the posts that many of you share, but, recently, it has come to my attention that many of you are going by Weston Price or GAPS type sugestions.

For every imbalance there is a different way in which to approach it. It isn't one for all, as nothing in life is one for all or one size fits all.
