Angela Kilmartin has new work on Interstitial Cystitis.
Although still holding that American urologists' frequent use of urethral dilatation causes scarring and readier acceptance of incoming bacteria into such damaged tissues, Angela has been working on another aspect to
IC.
For some five years she has been gathering steady input from patients on symptoms and this has now led to a simple question, do you have 24/7/12 pain? This can vary in intensity but never goes.
Combined are granulated and reddened bladder lining cystoscopy results. Nothing ever relieves the problem with suffering ranging from misery to suicide threats. No amount of lifestyle changes removes the pain,
heaviness and discomfort and there is no medical answer either.
Until now!
Angela's new book is a revelation on the probable cause of all this. She now maintains that IC is bacterial and very difficult to culture. (It is not Enterococcus.) A specific lab 'bench' for this organism
is necessary and as with all innovative work, the medical profession at large will be dismissive for a while.
The Encyclopedia gives detailed requirements on testing procedures both for doctors and patients, transmission routes and even an instruction for labs on how to set up the bench. Strong samples have to
be on the bench swiftly and patient proximity to the lab is essential. Careful reading and understanding will be important, cutting corners will give negative tests since this bacteria is very difficult to 'grab' or
isolate.
Angela and a medical colleague in London have had 100% success rates in patients properly diagnosed and simply treated. Patients had all been written off, suffered for years and fitted the exact description
of classic IC. These same bacteria may also be responsible for types of urethritis in men
