+++Hi andra. 4 cups is plenty (ensure you spread out drinking

them too and not drink it all at one time). You don't want to overdo

it since parsley is a diuretic which causes the body to get rid of

fluids. Also ensure you are having enough " good " ocean sea salt and

good mineralized water to replenish minerals, i.e. Bee's Electrolyte

Drink.

+++The timing is different for each person, but stay on parsley tea

for the full 7 days even if your symptoms subside.

to be the case. Should I be quite concerned (and making a doctor's

appointment)???

+++Since you aren't certain where the brown/reddish 'mucous' is

coming from you should see your doctor. It doesn't necessarily mean

anything is wrong but you need to know what is happening.

Alright, I'll stick with the four cups then... I do love the

electrolyte drink so I have those throughout the day alternating with

the parsley tea; and I add the ConcenTrace drops to the drinks that

are not the electrolyte drink. I'm still not up to 6 glasses of the

electrolyte drink but I think I might start swimming at this point by

adding that much fluid in.

As for my symptoms, they subsided after less than 24 hours!! I took

the parsley tea one day and by the time I was in bed that night,

everything was already better.. the discharge I mentioned also has

disappeared!!! I'm so thrilled - and my mom is thrilled and amazed.

She suffered from ongoing UTIs when she was younger and was always

sent to get drugs, so she is non-plussed by this easy way of treating

the problem (it also helped she has a book on herbs for the treatment

of common ailments, and I found information on parsley tea for UTI

there as well).

Thanks again!

+++I suggest you mix parsley tea and the Electrolyte Drink.

+++ConcenTrace drops are not a substitute for Ocean Sea salt because

the sea salt contains higher amounts of sodium and chloride (together

these minerals are salt), which are 2 of the 7 macrominerals requires

daily. Instead, add more ocean sea salt to your foods to make up the

difference. Too many minerals can also throw off mineral balances.

Moderation is always the key and " more is not better. "

+++However, if your drinking water is distilled or reverse osmosis

they are not mineralized water, so you would add 20 drops of

ConCentrace to every gallon used for drinking for cooking. Do not

drink or cook with softened water.

+++That's fabulous your symptoms subsided! Wow! That's impressive.

Well done andra. My sister is a nurse, and after she tried to

cure her UTI with antibiotics she cured it with parsley tea instead.

I am certainly happy to do that! I will need to go shopping for more

lemons tomorrow

Alright, I like the sea salt better, anyway. And I love how it tastes

on food

Yes, I remembered you saying this to someone else on the list who was

suffering from UTI recently, and it gave me extra backup to be able to

cite a nurse in support of my treatment choice. Thanks, and thanks again!
