If you are in this kind of treatment for your IC, the success is in the details. So, a person needs to pay attention to each small thing that they are putting in their mouth or putting on their skin.

I had a patient this week that was upset bc she was feeling so lousy. She had been doing
so fantastically within the first two months of treatment until she decided she was well and started eating sugar. She threw herself all the way back to the beginning almost. So, she got back on the wagon. But, not really, because when I started asking questions, she was doing all of the following things wrong: having bubble gum sometimes, having stevia in her coffee sometimes, having regular bread everyday, using retin A on her face, using acne medicine on her skin, using tooth whitening toothpaste. Even sometimes, all these things add up to not feeling well and getting in the way of treatment.

Another patient has been making great progress, but has not wanted to change her water. This is another huge area and something that is often a point of contention. A person does not want to 
change her water bc she may not understand why she needs to. Even I don’t understand all the reasons, but I understand it is necessary. Based on all of my experience, this is definitely the case.

Moral of the story: make sure you are doing everything correctly. One cannot expect positive changes if all things are not being done properly. Even a little and sometimes will make things not work if done consistently.
