Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 For several years now my 84 year old mother has suffered with urinary urgency to the point of not being able to go out unless she knew where the bathrooms were. She can now go out and do errands and not have to urinate until she comes home. This is a new found freedom for her. Now, the only thing she has done differently is to start iodoral...I started her on just 12.5mg with 1 ATP Cofactor per day. I told her she needed it just for general health reasons so she started it. After less than 2 months she asked me if the iodine could be making her urinary problems disappear. I told her I had never heard of this, but it must be the iodine. She is already doing Vit C, magnesium, selenium, etc. She takes alot of supplements, but nothing changed with the urgency UNTIL the iodine. She is sooooooo happy!!! Also, a few years ago she had alot of bladder infections. I told her to do d-mannose and now she has no more infections. She continues to take the d-mannose for maintenance. Now she is infection free and no more urgency. I've passed this along to my daughter who is a NP. What about all those poor seniors in nursing homes that are incontinent? Maybe some of this is preventable. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
