Re: Bladder Infections?

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim and , I've had numerous bladder infections since childhood, Doctors never would say their was a definite link to the JRA or the Meds. I was told I wasn't drinking enough water, never sit in bath water because of the threat of bacteria never use bubble bath it can irritate the ureter frequently use the bathroom and clean up very well...moist towellette that flush etc. don't allow yourself to "hold it " too long this can increase the build up of any bacteria in the bladder...not good to distend the bladder too much never wipe from back to front Eat yogurt with active cultures, it puts good bacteria back in the G.I. Tract I hate yogurt but the new yogurt in a tube like Yoplait Express is great if u put it in the freezer first. Limit carbonation and caffeine the list goes on I now at 40 and after having a child, I have absolutely no symptoms of uti or bladder infection until it hits the kidney I had only one doctor to tell me that the masking of the symptoms telling me I was ill was due to the prednisone. Others say this is not true ...I know have urinalysis run at the least sign like pressue or one degree temp. or a slight urgency to go. You didn't say what drug(s) is taking right now. Good Luck :):)Tree:):):):) bladder infections? Hi Everyone,Just a quick question, do any of your children get bladder infectionsnow that there on meds? s had 2 since Dec. when she was dx.None prior to that.

Hi Kim , hope Jesssica is feeling better ! I hope the list of things to do and not do help you both prevent another UTI/Bladder infection . Because she is on Prednisone I would try to do some extra preventative measures like I suggested because the pred. will mask the symptoms of UTI until you have a bad bladdder or worse kidney infection. Either one will make you totally miserable....As if the JRA isn't enough! So lots of liquids, no sitting in baths unless its for soaking after already taking a shower for cleansing. No bubble baths...well u got the jest I'm sure Good luck and hope this doesn't become a reoccuring thing!!! :)Tree:) bladder infections?>> Hi Everyone,>> Just a quick question, do any of your children get> bladder infections> now that there on meds? s had 2 since Dec.> when she was dx.> None prior to that.

Hi Theresa,

The list is a BIG help. I was putting her in the tub

everyday with her brother, OPPS. I guess I won't be

doing that anymore. I'm keeping your list, there's a

lot that I'm doing that are on there. Take care, Kim

, poor baby they/ve turn into a walking pharmacy. All those pills

I would'nt be hungry after taking all of them.

The Keflex is for what? I know when I was taking it my eyes cleared up

quite a bit, for some reason there is something in Keflex that works to

redue the inflamation of the arthritis as well as the uvelitis.

Keflex, da, hit me in the head, bladder infection of course. just call me

not only,

Rusty Limbs, but rusty gray matter too!

[Guest guest]

Hey Rusty,

Yea, the keflex is for the infection. It's good to

know that it helps with the inflammation too. I

didn't know that. Actually I still don't know much

about this darn disease. Hopefully can start

getting rid of some of these meds, she's doing quite a

bit better now a days. Take care Rusty,

Tabita has had poly jra since 89' and on meds..she has never had a kidney or

bladder infection. I think that her doctors one nurse once said that

methatrexate can cause the kidneys to act up..i will call this week and ask

again to make sure. Tabitha had a school nurse once in elementary and told

me that tab had a urinary tract infection..so i called made her an appt.

that day..picked her up in school..well in the time the nurse was waiting

for me to pick Tab up..she took it upon herself to get a small container(had

a lid) that had been found in the kitchen at school..ran through the

dishwasher and had Tab pee in it..for me to take to the school. Now I know

this woman was trying to help but needless to say..the doctors office threw

it out..and got a good laugh out of it. And we had to wait forever it seemed

for Tab to have to pee again..lol. Here she never had an infection.

Sorry to ramble..good luck!

Well Kim don't feel alone, I'm still learning about jra after 34 years,

and the more I learn it seems, the less I ever knew. Figure that one huh.

hugs and good thoughts!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Talk about waiting forever for a urine

sample.... had us wait four hours in the ER

(the ped. office was closed.) I was pumping water in

her like crazy, begging/pleading her to pee, we even

had to resort to threating a cathitor (?spelling).

She finally went and filled the hat they put over the

toilet, lol. Pour kid needed to bad but it hurt to

bad. Take care, Kim and (3, Poly)

Not sure if this is more a female thing but if it was due to the meds ... the boys should be just as likely, right? Josh hasn't ever had a bladder or kidney infection either.

actually boys and men are much less likely to have uti 's etc because the ureter is much longer which makes them less likely for bacterial infections :):)Tree:):) Re: bladder infections?

Could someone please tell me the best zapper for bladder infections.

A woman I work with had a bladder infection. I told her to take liquid bentonite clay every 3-4 hrs.and acidophilus (but not at the same time). She took it and said the infection was gone in 2 days. Also drink lots of water throughout the day when you take bentonite clay. IT absorbs all bacterial infections anywhere in the body.

Well, looking in the files for Bladder or Urinary Track problems, I saw

listed:

Uva Ursi

Dandilion

Juniper Berry

Hydrangea Root

Stinging Nettle

Corn Silk

Damiana

Shepherd's Purse

spinach, parsley, cucumber

I wonder if I make a tea out of all of them? Does anyone have any

personal experience with any of the above?

[Guest guest]

I am a herbalist. I would suggest the uva ursi and the stinging nettle as a tea. the rest of them are more into differnt things. I am also thinking she needs support for her immune system.btw, Uva Ursi and cranberry juice cancel each other out.thissal <thissal@...> wrote: Well, looking in the files for Bladder or Urinary Track problems, I saw listed:Uva UrsiDandilionJuniper BerryHydrangea RootStinging NettleCorn SilkDamianaShepherd's Pursespinach, parsley, cucumberI wonder if I make a tea out of all of them?

When my mother was a teenager during the 50's she suffered from

reoccurring bladder infections. While visiting a neihbor, the older

woman remarked how it was about time to take care of it. Her father

had been a pharmicist back in the day and she had grown up harvesting

plants with him. The lady went out in the woods and brought back uva

ursa, made a tea, and gave it to my mom. The bladder infections went

away and never came back. Was it the tea or the elder's prayer's that

went into the tea that did the healing? I suspect the latter as she

only took one dose and that's not the norm for biochemical property

alone healing. Mom did say it had to be very strong.

Uva ursa ought to work, make sure it's a medicinal dose of at

least 20 minute steep time of 1 tsp in one cup of water. if you would

rather use a mix would be 1 part each of uva ursa, couchgrass, and

yarrow. Take it every couple of hours while it's acute and cut down to

3x/day after it's diminishing to keep it gone. Avoid putting too many

different herbs together in a mix unless you have training to do so.

NO SUGAR during this time.

IF NOTHING ELSE: Go get some parsley and make a strong

infusion, one good handfull chopped up and add a pint of boiling water,

let steep at least 20 minutes and take every two hours until the crisis

is passed. If she's having trouble passing pee then do a mix of

parsley and juniper berries if you can find them.

Good luck.

[Guest guest]

My first herb of choice for immune support and infections is

garlic, loads and loads of garlic. Hadn't thought of the stinging

nettles.

My wife uses corn silk with great success. And it's free at our local

stores. And of course we have to " abstain " (if you know what I am

trying to delicately say) until the issue passes. Not an easy thing

for us, believe me!

I never would have thought of parsley for this. Here's what I have on

parsley from my database......

Parsley (Petroselinum crispum, P. sativum) Medicinal Use: Chew the

leaf raw to freshen the breath and promote healthy skin. Infuse for a

digestive tonic. Bruised leaves have been used to treat tumors,

insect bites, lice and skin parasites and contusions. Parsley tea at

one time was used to treat dysentery and gallstones. Other

traditional uses reported include the treatment of diseases of the

prostate, liver and spleen, in the treatment of anemia, arthritis and

cancers, and as an expectorant, antimicrobial, aphrodisiac,

hypotensive, laxative and as a scalp lotion to stimulate hair

growth. Use in a poultice as an antiseptic dressing for sprains,

wounds and insect bites. Decoct the root for kidney troubles and as

a mild laxative. Apply juice to reduce swellings. It also

stimulates appetite and increases blood flow to digestive organs, as

well as reducing fever. Another constituent, the flavonoid apigenin,

reduces inflammation by inhibiting histamine and is also a free-

radical scavenger. The seed, when decocted, has been used for

intermittent fevers. It has also traditionally used as a carminative

to decrease flatulence and colic pain. The seeds have a much

stronger diuretic action than the leaves and may be substituted for

celery seeds in the treatment of gout, rheumatism and arthritis. It

is often included in " slimming " teas because of its diuretic

action. Oil of the seed (5-15 drops) has been used to bring on

menstruation. Avoid if weak kidneys.

Thanks for posting the info from the archives, that's a lot more

than I knew about parsley. As I recall as a nutritional powerhouse

parsley provides plenty of nutrients for the body and thus ranks well

into the realm of the nutritive tonic.

From Dr.'s 's School of Natural Healing:

" Therapeutic Action:

Culinary, aperient, diuretic (lithotriptic), tonic, antispasmodic,

aromatic, antiperiodic (juice), carminative (seeds), emmenagogue

(seeds), febrifuge (seeds), vulnerary.

This herb is used freely in food and for garnishing dishes (where it

is likely more nutritive than the concoctions to which it lends

color), that is a very reliable and an old diuretic remedy is very

much ignored today. If used properly, parsley will work on the gall

bladder and remove gall stones. Parsley is a specific for the

adrenal glands, is powerfully therapeutic for the optic nerves, the

brain nerves, and the whole sympatheitc nervous system. The fluid

extract or juice is an excellent tonic for the blood vessels,

particularly the capillaries and arterioles. It is rich in vital

minerals and contains more iron than any other green leafy

vegetable. It is especially high in vitamins A and B and contains 2

times the potency of C than do citrus juices.

It is a remarkable remedy for expelling watery poisons, excess

mucous, flatulence, for reducing swollen and enlarged glands, etc. "

A big rule I use is use what you have. Another guideline the

simpler the better. Not knowing what was available for herbs in her

area during the winter I thought parsley from the supermarket would

be a fine choice. I like the corn silk idea too. I prefer the root

for formulas (and that bladder formula that was given looks AWESOME)

but as I have yet to find a source for that locally other than

growing my own I'ld go with the fresh herb as a strong infusion,

Dr. recommends 1 cup 3 to 4 times per day. Probably

juicing it as a tonic would be even better. Give the body the

nutrients it needs and it generally sorts itself out.

Oh, if she has a tendancy towards kidney stones make sure she's

taking a demulcent like slippery elm, marshmallow root, or comfrey

root also, just in case a stone comes out. While at it add an

antispasmodic (wait, that's the parsley) and now we are back to

making a full formula. I dislike making herb recommendations

without seeing the person and getting a reading on where they are at,

their skill level, what they eat, and such. Thus simpler is

better. Provide some relief while digging further looking for the

root cause.

I'm not up to speed on root causes of UTI's and welcome input

on that. Is that a major ph imbalance due to poor diet choices?

Whatever it is I bet better nutrition and EFT would make good inroads

on eliminating the problem.

[Guest guest]

Hi Angie,

It need not be a major ordeal to determine cause, cause will always be

toxic overload of the body and/or lifestyle. Always. There are no other

reasons. And yes, it is just that simple. A UTI is nothing more than the

body attempting to cleanse itself, by treating the symptoms you stop the

cleanse. Treating symptoms will only make matters worse, never better.
