Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ann So you do take d-mannose or not ? I am a little confused when you say you still need a course of antibiotics when you do get a UTI ? Why dont you take the d-mannose when you get a UTI ? From what I know about it, it is strong enough to get rid of even a full blown worst case scenario UTI so there is no need to take antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for the info. I just thought D-Mannose was good for helping to prevent a UTI. Next time, hopefully years from now, I'll keep this in mind.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 thanks your reply, yes i am aware of d-mannose and cranberry, also need to drink plenty danger for me is that continual use of anti-bio will stop what immune system i have from working probaly will go for it as it can always be reversed thanks again/peter I also tend to get UTIs.

Doesn't that help? " take a dose of d-mannose every few hours if you have a full blown infection. It should be completely gone in 3 days. MMS would also kill a UTI, but I wouldnt take MMS for uti unless you have some experience with it because it is too powerful. It kills everything like Mold, fungi, candida, parasites, mycolplasma, virus, bacteria etc. all at the same time. You need to take it really slowly. So if you have any other infections in your body you would be in for one horrible herx reaction which could trigger a flare up. It is for advanced users with experience. So first time users trying to get rid of a uti might be overkill and you could be really miserable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi Kieth Would you start on only 2 drops and work up by 1 drop a week, that's what I`ve done. If it kills all those things why do you think lots of people with ms dont take it, also do you know if it is harmful in any way, it smells and tastes so awful I sometimes worry about that. judith ________________________________ From: mscured [mailto:mscured ] On Behalf Of keith evans Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 5:55 PM To: mscured Subject: Re: D-Mannose for UTIs --was Re: Supa-Pubic >> " Hi Kieth Please ca you tell me how much mannose to get rid of a full blown urine infection please?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 The d-mannose that I bought is a powder. It has absolutely no taste at all that I can tell. The directions say to mix it in a glass of water. I've done that and detected no taste. I've also mixed it into a glass of roobius tea and detected no taste. I no nothing about possible side effects. You can try googling that and see what comes up. Ann " I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ditto to what Ann said about D-mannose powder having no smell. But Perhaps Judith is referring to MMS? The D-mannose I recommend for UTI is called Vibrant Health. The taste is actually good. ________________________________ To: mscured Sent: Fri, March 18, 2011 10:02:39 AM Subject: Re: D-Mannose for UTIs --was Re: Supa-Pubic The d-mannose that I bought is a powder.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I actually started the MMS with a half of a drop ! ( I mixed up one drop and then drank half the glass) My whole body went numb for a half hour. But I persevered and didnt let it bother me and I have worked my way up a drop at a time herxing at every increase. I would take it once every 3 days because it took that long to get over the herx. I definitely have some sort of infection that it is killing, probably mycoplasma. I have worked my way up to being able to take 8 drops with no herxheimer reaction and it was totally worth it, I have my life back and feel better than I have in I dont even know how many years.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Where do you get IP 6 from, is it to use for UTIs as well as mannose? judith ________________________________ From: mscured [mailto:mscured ] On Behalf Of Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 5:39 PM To: mscured Subject: D-Mannose for UTIs --was Re: Supa-Pubic I built up to that point and did it once day per recommendation. I took it for three weeks at that dose. I used over half of the bottle and I ran out of activator. I did not have any noticable reaction, thankfully. I hate having Herxes. It is possible to have new parasites and maybe the IP-6 is addressing those as well as releasing their hold on iron and other toxins. It could also be that the product was not what was claimed. An inferior product. Or, maybe I should have taken more.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi Judith I can't see that it would hurt but I think you'd get little benefit from it. As we've said for a while now, first people should fix their vascular deformities/issues and then get onto things like IP6 as without solving the bloodflow/vascular problem, you'll still have the extra iron buildup in your brain. Best to get the procedure done if you're able - nothing fixes the CCSVI backflow circulation as the procedure does. 'What we do in life, echoes through eternity.' MARCUS AURELIUS (121 - 180 A.D.)
