For Those Who May be Skeptical ...

The frustrating part of educating people about this method of treating IC successfully is that many people do not believe in Chinese or alternative medicine.  I am Jane, whose story you have read under “Patient Success Stories”.  I am the world’s biggest skeptic and was a true believer of, and someone who totally trusted in, Western medicine, until I developed IC.  Read my story (Jane in Los Angeles) and then come back here.

I have heard people say “Oh, I tried acupuncture and it didn’t work.”  Or “I have tried all kinds of herbs and they didn’t do any good.”  Or “I am taking Elmiron (substitute any or all of 10 other drugs or procedures) and it seems to work”.  People might ask why Dr. Brizman is not officially recognized for her work in treating IC.  Until she is published she will not be.  Her work has been described as anecdotal.  When she has finished her research and published her findings then things will change.  Read about her research in the Section “Who Is Dr. Brizman".

If you are visiting this site then you must be searching for an answer and you must be somewhat open-minded.  You have choices.  You can continue to search for a miracle.  You can keep visiting sites where you can share your misery with others and feel “good” about the fact that there are thousands of others suffering like you.  You can continue to take the medications and treatments you are taking which obviously are not working.  Or you can take a step and investigate something that has provided positive results for many people.  There are many testimonials from people at various stages of their treatment with Dr. Brizman which prove that there is something to her methods.  These are not anecdotes.  These are real people who have gone and are going through a course of treatment guided by someone who really understands what she is treating and provides a method to help the body to fight the disease.  Not everyone takes the time to share their success with others.  I hope when you get to the stage that you feel like it, you will add your story to this site.

As we have said before, this is not an easy process.  There will be many ups and downs and you should conservatively estimate that it could take up to two years to become symptom-free.  Some people move quicker than others, but it is better not to focus on the short term. When the symptoms are tone, as long as you follow a sensible lifestyle, then it will last.  The treatment will not cause other problems and side effects down the line, because it is healthy and non-toxic.  We don’t think there is any other treatment out there that is so consistently helping people for the long term.  It is not a quick fix.  It is a logical and managed course of treatment that works.

You have choices.  We have done our best to offer you a great one.  Only you can make the right one for yourself.
