Subject: [ ] Off topic - pH to prevent UTIs?

Hi, all - I have a question. My friend, who consistently gets 1-2

urinary tract infections each year, is searching for a preventitive

measure other than the stadards suggested by the MDs (which she already

does-cranberry juice, don't hold a full bladder, etc.). I was wondering

if altering her body's pH and making it more acidic (through diet or

large intake of vitamin C) once per week could kill off any growth of

the offending bacteria in her urinary tract. Any ideas? Thanks, N

If the problem is E coli... which it mostly is, then take something

called D-Mannose

This product is easy to find, AOR also sells it.

I take Cranberry Concentrate pills, produced by NOW, to avoid the

calories of the commercial cranberry juice drinks. It seems to work.

2 pills per day is 5 calories and so far, no UTIs.

I found this:

"Vitamin C makes the urine acidic and helps to reduce the number of potentially harmful bacteria in the urinary tract system. "

However I understand that drinking liquids is part of the “cure” - the more water/cranberry juice, the better. BTW I get “unsweetened” cranberry or any other juice for that matter.

You’ve got to be kidding. This Dr Pressman dude sells just about everything under the sun. Please don’t post such websites here!

I'm not kidding...see the references supplied on the

article.

What about one from AOR?

http://www.aor.ca/int/related_research/d-mannose.php

D-Mannose is a natural sugar found in ***Cranberry juice***

Blueberries, Apples etc... only not in enough quantity to be as

beneficial as taking a D mannose supplement.

Once again a website that promotes the products it sells. Not what we want here.

Sorry but the next time that happens, it won’t be posted.
