In his latest book, Philip Weeks brings painful bladder syndrome (PBS) elegantly into the wider public and professional discussion. He shows us that this condition is widespread, often under-diagnosed and incorrectly managed, and that a much broader awareness is needed of the negative effects of modern lifestyles, hidden environmental toxins and over-stressed digestive system. In his convincing clinical cases he demonstrates that the successful treatment of PBS, or Interstitial Cystitis, requires a general understanding of mucous membrane health in order to heal the GAG layer of the urinary system and minimise the distress of this modern age condition. Without antagonising mainstream management of PBS, he explores with great skill its complex and multifactorial aspects and finds ways of simplifying its treatment at the same time, almost down to the level of self-help intervention and lifestyle adjustments which is what both the suffering patient and practitioners have been waiting for.
