I already knew about Gerson and had seen a YouTube video of Jay Kordich, who said he overcame his bladder cancer with carrot juice and Granny Smith apples. Googling bladder cancer and carrot juice led me to more information from a woman who described her approach by juicing 5 lbs of carrots a day. A man tried it as well and claimed it resolved his bladder cancer. When I looked further into it, I learned there is an anti-cancer substance called farinicol found only in carrots.
So that's what I did—I drank 5 lbs of carrot juice a day, cut out all other sugars, and took a teaspoon of baking soda in water in the morning. My skin turned orange, especially my hands. Having two young children, I was very worried and didn't share with anyone what I feared. Drinking the carrot juice became somewhat addictive as my bladder would stop hurting when I drank it. After a while, I was feeling better and not having much pain.
I finally went in for the scope. When I got there, they gave me a urinalysis, and I became immediately hopeful when no microscopic blood was detected. This had not happened on the prior six urinalysis in the past year. The scope itself was painful, but lucky for me, it showed I was clear. I can't prove it, but I think I resolved the issue on my own.
The only alternate diagnosis I can come up with is interstitial cystitis (I am a medical provider). I have not continued drinking the carrot juice regularly. Fortunately, I haven't had symptoms since, but if I think I am getting any symptoms, I will drink carrot juice again.
