Re: cystitis + Coconut Oil Miracle
I knew I had more on this cystitis subject. Here are some convincing testimonials for coconut oil as an effective treatment:
==================================================
Vestiges of Interstitial Cystitis - while I was never formally diagnosed, I had all of the symptoms (all of the symptoms of a UTI with consistently negative cultures), following some back to back UTIs and a compromised immune system. Oddly enough, I started supplementing with coconut oil and the irritation and urgency went away. I knew it was the coconut oil, because if I only took it once a day, the symptoms would be back within 12 hours. I began taking 3 tbsp spread out throughout the day and all of the UTI-like symptoms went away completely.
=====================================================
I am beginning to believe that interstitial cystitis is a bogus diagnosis that thousands of MDs have earned a pretty penny off of - in fact - entire medical fields have opened due to this diagnosis. I think all women with this should try coconuts before they spend another dime! I know the frustrations - I have been to the best urogynes and urologists - Northwestern in Chicago since I was a teenager and in California. I have had my urethra widened twice, - I have been tortured like so many other women; missed life events, canceled trips, spent many days in the ER with flares - not too mention the $$$ spent! AND ALL THIS TIME -- COCONUTS WOULD HAVE SOLVED MY PAIN. I MUST TELL EVERY WOMAN!!!!"
There are many thousands more links. Google "interstitial cystitis and coconut oil"
=======================================================
Caution:
titrate slooowly - start with 1/2 teaspoon and slowly build up to 3 tablespoons. Too much coconut oil too soon could result in diarrhea if your gallbladder is lazy from not enough use. If you are a vegetarian, you can even get gallbladder pain from your gallbladder being loaded with crud & sxtones from a lack of use.
You should also be taking Vitamin D3 Geltabs to boost your immune system:
