Over the past few years of working exclusively with IC patients, I have run across a very high percentage of my patients have oxidative stress and excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species. In addition, there is a very high percentage of them with Copper dysregulation and disorders in iron metabolism. This can be presented as [...]

Recently it has come to my attention that there is a strong connection to fibrin, hypercoagulation, biofilms and the embedded infection associated with IC. It is a complex interaction of genetics and environmental influences that leads to this condition. One very strong environmental influence is are infections such as viruses or even their remedies. The [...]

What is histamine? Histamine is a signaling molecule that is used by your brain and also by your entire body (Anderson, 2023). Histamine is a biogenic amine that occurs to various degrees in many foods. Histamine (2-[4-imidazolyl]ethylamine) was discovered in 1910 by Dale and Laidlaw. It was identified as a mediator of anaphylactic reactions in 1932 (Maintz and Novak [...]

Aging is a complex and dynamic process characterized by continuous biological remodeling (Minciullo et al., 2016). The main actors in this remodeling theory are DNA repair, apoptosis, immune response, oxidative stress and inflammation. “To reach extreme longevity, it is necessary for all these mechanisms to interact in an efficient way” (Minciullo et al., 2016). In [...]

Can ozone therapy be used to help treat IC/BPS? At a glance: All chronic conditions, including IC/BPS, have a root origin that often points to inflammation Inflammation is your body’s response to a hidden stressor- and that can be due to infections, environmental toxins, chemicals, radiation, EMF’s, Leaky gut, and stress Inflammation can cause pain [...]

Part 2 of 3 In the previous blog, I introduced RANTES and how it is associated with inflammation. What had sparked my interest is that I have had a lot of patients come to me with a very unique presentation of inflammation revisited induced after COVID-19. I this previous blog, I discussed RANTES, TNF-a, NFK-B [...]
