Dear Stephen,
I have interstitial cystitis and have been in a flare for the last 6 months. I have been unable to take most supplements. I can’t take vitamins or minerals. Do you have experience with patients with interstitial cystitis? What herbs can they handle on your protocol? Are some manufacturers better than others?


Stephen’s response:
I would treat the interstitial cystitis first. I would use the following tinctures: 1/2-1 tsp of uva ursi 3x daily, corn silk 1/2 tsp 3x daily, black haw 1.25 tsp 3x daily, Japanese knotweed 1 tsp 3x daily, for up to one month. If it does not clear after 30 days I would then use tinctures of: 10-20 drops juniper berry tincture 3x daily, corn silk 1/2 tsp 3x daily, marshmallow 1/2 tsp 3x daily, knotweed 1 tsp 3x daily, for 7 days. Hopefully that should do it.
Stephen

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.
