• Success! - by gaylan - (Tue, Sep 08 2009)
  I am a 65 year old female and have been referred to a doctor in Long Beach, Ca. for what was suspected to be an IC condition by a nutritionist friend named Juli. Juli had been a patient of a doctor at Cedar Sinai Hospital in LA and was treated for IC with a “bladder infusion” of a number of medications. The first 3 visits to my doctor consisted of testing for IC which was confirmed and a 4th visit for consultation which my husband also attended. I was given the option of receiving 6 weekly “bladder infusions” using a small #3 catheter and small amount of Heprin in distilled water. I noticed relief within 30 minutes and after 6 treatments, my life has changed significantly. I am now pain free and able to revive the romance in our marriage. I also eat spicy foods and drink coffee without any discomfort. I’ll be going back for 2 additional infusions. What a miracle and to have come by the treatment in such a serendipitous way! What I have appreciated about my doctor and his staff most is the professionalism, fierce patient advocacy and genuine concern. The doctors are trainers and authors, the leaders in the medical industry. [more..]
