Bee? ==>Jana, as I wrote to you earlier this morning you body will re-trace previous episodes of bladder infection during natural healing. This is according to Hering's Law of Cures. Yes you can take nettle tea, oregano oil, and probiotics, etc. I do not recommend taking aloe vera juice, but if you feel comfortable taking it, it is okay too. Just be aware that when you get onto this diet and take all of the supplements you will get more symptoms, so later on you might want to cut back on the oregano oil and probiotics so the symptoms are more tolerable. In fact the diet and supplements alone can cure candida without anything extra, particularly if you also eat sauerkraut as recommended.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Dr. Jim Howenstine agrees with you - www.mynaturalhealthteam.com. The bladder infection I had that was knocked cold by baking soda was of a viral nature - it was simply the flu virus going down into my bladder. Like Duke says, it might not work for other causes. > > D-Mannose takes away bladder infections up to > 90% of the time. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 If you look at the lists of bromide detox reactions, your symptom is a detox reaction, just feels like a bladder infection. Are you taking all the supporting nutrients? Have you done the salt loading and have enough vit C? If you take a day or so off, the bromide can get cleared out of your system without pulling out more. It is good to detox, just take a day or so off the iodine.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I agree I tried that and apple cider vinegar and neither worked. After I went on the antibiotic I found out about D-Mannose.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I had really good luck with blueberries and cranberries and some water about half cup each or so. That cleared out the last time I felt a bladder infection coming on. Just did that several times a day for 2-3 days and it faded away.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I also swear by the cranberry extract. It is a bit tart so I put it in some juice to help cut the taste, but it isn't too bad. I use to get UTI infection, bladder, and kidney infections a lot until I found the cranberry extract and as soon as I feel I might have one coming on I take it and it seems to keep it at bay.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi Adrienne, The last time I had a bladder infection, I started on high dose iodine (300mg spread over the day), and my symptoms were subsiding substantially. Then, I read / heard about D-Mannose and ran out to buy some (because more is better, right?!). I took one or two doses when the infection came back with avengence, and extended into my kidneys. If you have a sensitivity to sugar (like I do), be very careful. Next time I will definitely stick to an iodine / baking soda regime (drinking baking soda mixed in water will alkalize your urine). And yes, the urine C & S indicated that it was E.Coli. Ziggy > > > > > > > > D-Ribose will help with infections. > > Cranberry Juice will as well. > > > > Be careful about letting it go too long.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I and many people I know have used D-Mannose for bladder infections. It's the most excellent cure. For people who are prone to getting them, a maintenance dose of it can prevent infections for the long haul. I keep it on hand and recommend that others do so as well since the earlier treatment is started, the easier it is to get rid of a bladder infection. The way D-Mannose works: It's a simple carbohydrate that makes the lining of the bladder and ureters more slippery, so the bacteria cannot get a foothold. The bacteria are washed out of the body instead of lodging in the body and multiplying. D-Mannose does not kill bacteria, and therefore it does not cause imbalances in the body and does not harm the probiotic cultures in our intestines. So it's the preferred treatment. Some people with interstitial cystitis have found relief with D-Mannose, even though it's not " supposed " to work for that. My thinking is that we simply don't know all the mechanisms at work. -- At 12:58 PM 10/3/2010, you wrote: >D-Mannose works well as long as the infection is from e-coli, which most >bladder infections are (about 90%).

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thank you Ziggy, Its a lot better this morning and yes - I did take some Lugols and sodium bicarb. Also acorbate vit C. I have recently changed my diet rather drastically in an attempt to raise my urine pH - it has been 4.5. So perhaps this sugar would not help me either. Interestingly, I also painted iodine around bladder area and it disappeared twice quite quickly. I have been doing this test on inner forearms and the stain has remained for 24 hrs. Perhaps the iodine has not been reaching this area as this test can vary depending on whereabouts on the body it is done. I have recently eased off the Lugols but taken supplements containing it instead. I have also spent lots of money on colonic and probiotic implant etc as had severe constipation for which nothing was working. I was desperate! Hence my fear of antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi Adrienne, The skin test does not really show you anything, because there are so many possibilities – how dry your skin is, air temp and humidity, clothing, etc. There is an article explaining why it really doesn’t show you anything, sorry I don’t have it handy. No supplement would contain Lugols, they might contain some iodine but only at a fraction of even one drop of 2% Lugols, not enough to nourish your body. Also, from your next e-mail, you are afraid to take iodine with probiotics, why? The iodine is antiviral, antifungal, and nourishes your body, and the probiotic helps put back good intestinal flora. They work together to get you healthy. Many of us on the loop take both in quite high doses.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have spent a lifetime holding in urine at work because i was busy, having a poor diet, and not drinking enough water and being dehydrated. I never had a uti, UNTIL I pretty much stopped eating for 2 months because i was under duress. I shed 40 pounds in 2 months, and bingo- my first uti. I believe releasing the fat dumped a lot of toxins into my system. Your fat holds and compartmentalizes toxins. I believe I was also experiencing nutritional deficiencies. Perhaps had I been taking fulvic acid i could have avoided it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
