The beginning of my journey

About 5 years ago I got a condition called Interstitial Cystitis.  It's pretty painful and very inconvenient for someone with an active lifestyle.  I originally went the regular medical route, seeing a urologist, who told me it is "incurable" and that there are some things that help symptoms for some people but it's a crapshoot.  I tried some things and endured a LOT of pain and decided to go out on my own and research this whole thing to see if there was any information at all about it.  I found a couple books written by people who had it and had cured themselves.  That started me on my whole journey that I am still on.
I truly believe that the body can cure itself if given the right environment.  And as I go on I realize that the environment not only involves the body, food, drugs, etc, but a BIGGER part of it is the mind. I have read, as most people who are interested in healing, a lot of books and accounts of people who have spontaneously been cured of various diseases.  I originally started by reading "The Maker's Diet", in which Jordan Rubin cured himself of a disease through diet.  So that's where I started, diet.  I cut out all processed food and added as much good "stuff" as I could.  From there I progressed to outside influences such as chemicals in creams, lotions, cleaning products, metal in my fillings, etc.  My primary focus now is on the mind-body connection and I do a lot of reading about it.  I will be blogging about things I've learned but I would love to hear other peoples experiences too!
