uva ursi

[Guest guest]

Hi:

Is uva ursi scd legal? My son has tested positive to a bacteria NFL e

coli and the bug is only sensitive to uva ursi or caprylic acid in the

natural agents. Our NMD doctor has given us a formula that has two

ingredients that are SCD illegal and I have noticed a change in

behavior after he takes this formula. We are very hesitant in giving

the presciptive agents because of their strength but we might have to

look at this option.

Thank you so much!

Hi Paree,

Here are some notes from Lyris, our old list

" RE: Uva Ursi.

Elaine, I hope this saves you some time.

Uva ursi is an herb used for urinary and bladder problems.

It has phenolic acids and resins in it. It is diuretic.

Many list members have problems with phenols.

Probably best to avoid it.

Best, . "

" I believe the publicity had to do with uva ursi being a natural dieuretic which

could be good for some or bad for some. This probably is taxing on the kidneys,

of course, if used in excess. "

Caprylic acid seems to be legal.
