This is an excerpt from a note from a member of the IC Puzzle group at Yahoo!

Andrea, have you read "Solving the Interstitial
Cystitis Puzzle" by Amrit Willis?
Check out www.holisticnurse.com.

The book explains all about the acidity and alkalinity
of foods. For a "normal" person it is dead easy. When
food metabolises it leaves either an acid ash or
alkaline ash.

...

When I discovered this book I was in a major flare,
lying on the sofa with a heating pad, high on narcotic
pain relief. I started to follow the suggestions and I
am now back at work and very much better. As my
bladder pain has settled I have been able to add a
small amount of fruit to my very limited diet, but
would never go back to eating refined, processed or
sweetened foods.

I hope this helps......Katie

Hello Amrit,

I bet you have been wondering what the heck happen to me. Well I
have been feeling great these days. Have been walking once to twice
a day and this energy just keeps going on. Yet I do not want to put the
efforts into my house. (-: I do not have any problems with the fibromyalgia
now and matter a fact, the arthritis seems to be feeling a little better. Even
in this bitter Alaska cold front we got... I feel so good that I will be taking a
class next month... Sure has been along time since I went to school Five
days a week, for five weeks. Will take two more classes after this one for
just a long period of time. So I did not drop of the face of the earth. Trying
to better myself and get out there now. It sure is allot different not all
drugged up with the anti-depressant and can think clearer. Never again,
even if my doctor thinks I should get back on it.

Yes, I remember you saying, it is really healthy the way we eat now
and better for us and in the long run, live longer.

I juice once in the morning and then the evening. I eat something
solid at lunch and make it my big meal for the day. If I get hungry
at night, just take the grapes out and nibbles or cut up a apple.
Did find a apple pie from the bakery with no sugar added that agrees
with me. That is about the only dessert I can handle. Might, try a
potato bread, but I do not want to put the pounds on. Do like
myself lean and ready to go. My husband says that I have really
changed for the best.

Thanks,
Mary

"Hi, I was very impressed with what Amrit Willis said and ordered her book and supplements. After 11 years of horrible suffering and trying everything, alkalizing my body has helped." — Bonnie, New Zealand

"I totally believe in your theory. I have switched to an almost organic diet full of veggies, and Evian water. I don't ever have bladder pain now and can drink my 1-2 mugs of coffee with no problem. That is the only bad thing I do. I eat loads of veggies. "  — JR

"Just wanted to say thanks again! I have been on the alkalizing diet for about a month now and feel wonderful! I got off the Elmiron, and have been reducing the Imipramine with no flares. I still haven't tried fruit, but will soon. (Tried some cantaloupe, but felt funny and it took about a day to feel right again.) I will try again. I went to a naturopathic doctor and he helped me get all the holistic remedies you suggested. He was very impressed with your book, too, as was my urologist.

"Thanks again a million!!!"  — JR from Vermont

"Amrit Willis' tale and method of curing herself from IC is amazing, and makes so much sense. I have used the diet and some of the recommendations and have also not had any symptoms of IC since starting the alkaline diet. My dietician and doctor were impressed and have also ordered the book. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to read this!!" — Amazon.com Review

"I highly recommend the book. I just read it this past week and already discovered things that I have been doing that are causing symptoms."  — Sue from AOL IC Support Group

"Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I have enjoyed it very much. I especially like that your solutions do not cost IC patients a small fortune." — Camille, icsuccessonline.com

"Since I have been keeping away from acid foods, I have not been having problems anymore. I still have to get up once at night but I'm not in pain." — WB from Georgia 

"It is a beautifully done, well-written book by an obviously very intelligent lady." — Becky, AOL IC Support Group

"I have noticed an improvement since beginning on your recommended diet.  I go to the loo anything between 2-4 hrs during the day and get up once at night." — PH from Brunei Darussalam

"This book just arrived today, but I had already started the programme from the website. I had heard about this book on the IC-Network, and rushed to buy at as quickly as possible. I have not felt well in over 4 years, but I feel normal again. I recommend this book highly.

"This book is not just for sufferers of interstitial cystitis. It is really for anyone interested in a living healthy lifestyle." — Amazon.com Review

"Wow, I have been keeping to the diet for 4 days now and I really feel good.  It is just amazing. I feel like a new person, and hope that by sticking to this diet, I can avoid flareups and be a normal person again.  I am sharing it with my doctor next week. I've been able to sleep through the night, or with waking up only 1 time--the first time in 4 years!"  — JR from Vermont

"...very well done...a book clearly written about IC...as well as a nutritionally sound reference book." — NewBookReviews.com — August 1, 2001
