Mo...I've read your stuff before, and have had all the scans (including the
coccyx) etc, and I told you I've tried all the pill stuff (what you wrote
below is a copy of your standard input), and I won't get into the diet stuff
(too non specific and most likely a lot of trouble for nothing - I have a
hard enough time eating as it is, especially living by myself).  And, I have
been soaking for years.

You are entitled to your opinions, and I believe you are trying to help, but
I certainly have cp as well as urethritis and cystitis, or CPPS if you wish
(they're all part of a continuum if you read the studies), and a lot of
other immune problems (like a constant virus that won't let go).  I also
have sarcoidosis and stomach problems.  I believe my uro problems are
driving everything now.

I'm just waiting for the constant fever and then it will kill me, because as
soon as you go into an ER and tell them your history and indicate a chronic
condition, you're out on your ear, and they will tell you to pick back up
with one of the doctors you were seeing (after they call one to verify what
you are saying, because they consider us ignorant - boy that pisses me off).
Did that a year ago for some serious stomach problems.  They only treat
acute conditions in the ER like heart attack, vomiting blood, gun shot
wounds, car accidents, etc.  They might give you an anti for a high fever,
but that isn't going to help me, and then they would still just send you
home, and tell you to go to a specialist or whatever.  And then they may
give you a flat view x-ray, what a joke, and waste of time.  I'm sure they
would give you a catscan if you were screaming in pain, and haven't taken a
sh.t in a week.

Now mo, I have some info for you.  What type of diabetes do you have (type I
or II).  Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld (America's favorite doctor) says a study was
done in Beltsville, MD that indicates as little as a half tsp.of cinnamon a
day may reduce blood glucose by up to 30% per day (and therefore may help
prevent the onset of type II diabetes), while decreasing cholesterol and
other fats in the blood.  It's in his "2005 Breakthrough Health", which he
is currently publishing every year (he has written many other books).

Just thought I'd mention that to you in regard to the supposed miraculous
cure of your cp with the cinnamon candy and the apple cider mix (which you
can bet has cinnamon flavoring in it, but may not be natural).  I was
wondering if there could be some kind of strange relationship between your
cp and your diabetes.

Take care and let us know if you have a relapse of your cp, or how you are
doing a week from now.  This group is almost extinct now, and I have mainly
been participating in the BPH group stressing the possible relationship or
crossover between BPH and prostatitis.  That is a good ng, but mostly about
PVP's.  My problems go way beyond either one (ie prostatitis or BPH), and
something is systemically destroying me (the malaise along with the pain and
discomfort is unbelievable).

You all talk about your pains after sex, and your libido, etc.  Hell I
couldn't have sex if I wanted to, and will never get laid again, and it is
difficult at best to ejaculate and try to keep things flushed out so to
speak.  And I am only 58 years old, and f.cked.  I am a retired engineer,
been married twice and live by myself with my 2 cats, and have no friends or
family left, and no one to help me.

I am not disabled, but feel as bad as you can (there is no way I could go to
work now though).  Only go to grocery stores and doctors.  Built all the
furniture in my house, but haven't been in my shop in over a year because
I'm not in the mood (my shop was my whole life after my "early out"
retirement).  I understand what you said about getting your mind off it, but
when the malaise and pain are so bad and constant, its a little difficult.
When I can't stand it (which is every day), I just keep putting a heating
pad on my belly/groin to try to get my mind of it (and I also try to sleep
that way), and I soak.  I never sleep, just catnaps, and lay in bed, and get
up late.  I have a nice house and workshop, but live in misery.

Sorry for the rambling, I'm not looking for pity, just trying to vent my
frustration...Pete

I had a highly educated, very progressive dentist who also had degrees in
nutrition.  He told me about using apple cider vinegar, molasses and one
other common thing to of all things, cure cancer.  This was no crank.  He
was a world respected expert.  It appears the old wives tales and so called
"urban legends" about cider vinegar aren't so bogus after all.  It is in
many ways close to a cure all.  Are there sufficient studies to prove?  Heck
no.  Can't get a researcher to take the stuff serious enough.  Also, I
suppose, it would be considered conspiracy to commit murder for a researcher
to do such research on enough human subjects.  The dentist diet in a motor
cycle accident while vacationing in Mexico.  This guy was something else.
Told me to not drink pop.  The phosphorous in pop leaches out the calcium
from teeth and bones.  How many dentists will tell you that?

Hello,
That dentist was a wonderful person. Of course, research studies will not
be done since there is no way of making billions of dollars in patent
fees. For these same reasons very little research will be done related to
most of the vit., minerals and herbs sold in health food stores. I
subscribe to a newsletter written by an alternative doctor named Julian
Whitaker.

He has been in a war with the medical establishment for many years. I
really admire him and have learned lots of medical information from him
related to vit., minerals, ACV and herbs. Since my doctor refuses to refer
me to specialists for special tests, I have had to rely on vit., minerals,
diet
and herbs to control my high acid levels (metabolic problems). Before I
started the special diet and the use of vit., minerals and herbs I was
vomiting 2 or 3
times per week. I no longer drink coffee or cokes or eat high acid foods.
