Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 We're not on SCD yet, preparing to start this weekend, but just wanted to chime in about mannose. My daughter's pediatrician (holistic) told us to use D-Mannose in all her fluids for a week because her urinalysis suggested a possible urinary tract infection and we did not want to use antibiotics. My understanding is that D-Mannose is not very digestible and it works by attracting the bad bacteria in the urinary tract and causing them to be drawn out in the urine. I have no idea whether it would be SCD-safe or not, we're starting the diet the day after we complete the week of D-Mannose, but here's an explanation of how it works if someone else might be more familiar with analyzing the biochemistry, etc. behind it. It does not sound to me like something that would feed yeast, but what do I know, I am a newbie: http://www.healingtherapies.info/D-Mannose.htm --Krissi pecanbread wrote: > ____________________________________________________________ > > Message 25 > From: " lipawe " lipawe@... > Date: Tue May 16, 2006 10:23am(PDT) > Subject: Re: Legal or illegal? > > ---I copied it straight from the website so it is spelled mannose. > It seems like it would be a good thing.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 all this mannatech stuff is just supplying essential sugars that are not being got from food because of malabsortion and digestive enzyme insufficency suagrs are the most essentail nutrients in the body, essential part of cell walls and everything they are complex sugars and scd illegal the thing is its a pre-enzyme thing like chelation use enzymes (only the houstonni work imo) and the whole ball game changes, you get these sugars from the extra action of the enzymes you use enzymes and you can get nutrients up to the level that chealtion is a bad bet, gives the wrong damage/benefit ratio > > > >> , > >> > >> Are you talking about Manatose?
