Product Description
by Norman E. Morrison (Author)
Collected editions of the ICDisclaimer Interstitial Cystitis newsletter circa 1988-1991. Still as relevant and eye opening today as it was yesterday. Important as a historical document, from the very dawn of IC research, but even more important because it helped to introduce the fact (with proof) that Interstitial Cystitis is caused by nothing more complicated than bacterial infection. (A fact ignored then as today by the scientist elite.) Many treatment regimes explored, some out of date, some as beneficial today as it was then. THE PIONEERS OF INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS is an important book that belongs in your library as you search for your own personal cure.
Author Biography
Long story short, I have had nothing less than a lifelong interest in science, natural curiosity, and an ability and desire to do research to educate myself on whatever interests me, and a very personal experience with interstitial cystitis. In 1982 I was a happy warehouse worker taking care of business and the family. Then one day while driving my forklift I noticed a pressure on my bladder, so I loosened my belt a couple of notches. By and by I would have bouts of passing blood in my urine. Then, later, I would find dried blood flakes in the bowl. Frankly, it was just a curiosity at the time, since I was young, dumb, strong as an ox, and invincible. I was 27 years old. But then, I started going down pretty rapidly. Because I had a young family and because I was stubborn, I refused to quit the hard labor which aggravated my condition. Many days I would go to work and at the end of the shift come home only to fall into the bed. It was about this time that someone called the "grass police" to come tell me that my front yard needed cutting. I just couldn't do it. Rather than giving in I fought IC. Amassing a wonderful group of "Armchair Urologists" we all fought hard at a time when everything was against us. My story is their story. Our story and example ought to be yours. Never quit learning.
