bladder infection?

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Check out what Dr. Mercola has to say about the active ingredient in

crannberies for fighting bladder and UT infections:

http://www.mercola.com/2001/jun/9/bacteria_urine.htm

Apparantly bluberries have this as well:

http://www.mercola.com/2005/mar/5/blueberries_uti.htm

Also, just search his site for " cranberry bladder " or " cranberry urinary "

and you should find lots of info. He recommends Mannose, the active

ingredient. If all else fails, he says that Macrobid, the antibiotic, is

the safest in terms of not causing yeast problems. He states that in the

first article from 2001, so I don't know if it is outdated. He also says

to take probiotics with the antibiotic.

Hope you feel better!

Take care,

Erek

Thank you Erek and Ouida,

I will check out that site. Unfortunately I am allergic to Macrobid.

I usually take Sulfer drugs like Sulfatrim for bladder. I wonder how

bad they are. I am feeling like I have no choice, but I can try the

cranberry. I have heard of it as a preventitive. I have been eating

garlic and drinking lots of water just in case it might help.

Blessings,

Dear ,

I cured my last bout with urinary tract infection with cranberry

juice. It took only 1 quart of the pure unpasteurized concentrated

kind from the health store, which I drank over a 3 day period of time.

Hi ,

Garlic contains sulfer. It is best raw and crushed to release its

properties. Take 5-6 cloves per day in divided amounts.

Not sure if I have one, but it is beginning to burn now, and have been

very dizzy and a little nauseous. I really don't want to do

antibiotics. What am I to do?

Call your doctor and tell him/her that you want Bactrim. It is a sulfa drug and

does not have the same side effects as other antibiotics. But some people can't

handle sulfa drugs. It works well for bladder infections. That is the only

antibiotic I ever take.

Don't fool around with bladder infections. They can be serious. Take Vitamin C

1000 mg. at a time - it will stave off the pain for a short period of time.

Also get some pyridium. You can get it OTC and it helps with the pain.

Hi Joyce,

I sure wish Bee was here to advise you but she's still out of town...I

know she would tell you to stay away from antibiotics if at all

possible. For a UTI, I think she usually advises to increase Vit. C

consumption (not sure how much tho) ...as well, she advises to take

PURE cranberry juice....you'll have to try and find one without sugar.

that's the best I can do to help you right now....you might also want

to investigate Dr. Mercola's website. I did a quick search on it and

there is quite a bit of info on bladder infections. Go to:

www.mercola.com and use the google search bar near the top of the page.

I would definitely check with your doctor first. Bladder infections aren't

something you should take chances with.

However, if it isn't a bladder infection, the symptoms you're experiencing

might be part of die-off. I have Interstitial cystitis, and have discovered

that if I have a high level of candida, or other microorganisms following an

antifungal or antibiotic, my bladder llining becomes severely irritated.

The symptoms of Interstitial cystitis are very similar to a UTI. I've

learned that the worst of the symptoms begin to diminish within a day,

sometimes less. I've also learned to make sure the doctors culture the

urine specimen to confirm infection before I begin any medications. Having

Interstitial cystitis means that there's always a higher-than-usual white

blood cell count in the urine.

I also get a heart rate change, nausea and dizziness more often during

die-off periods too. On the other hand I also get these symptoms often

during digestion as well because I have developed some functional gastric

disorders.

Of course some foods also aggravate my bladder too, so I have to limit

acidic foods and vitamins, especially vitamin C and B. Makes getting the

candida under control a longer process, but it is possible, as I've done so.

==>Joyce, the " drug of choice " for bladder infections is sulphur, which

is very high in garlic, and is also in lemons so do have your ocean sea

salt and lemon drink 6 times a day too. I suggest garlic tea (4 cups

per day) or raw garlic cloves. Also clove spice is very good; have 4

cups of clove tea per day, or 4 drops of clove oil 3 times a day. And

even though cranberries have natural sugars, you could use it just to

cure your UTI; buy 1 quart of pure unpasteurized cranberry juice;

dilute it with water and drink it over a 3 day period of time.

==>Also remember that during natural healing your body will go through

previous symptoms, illnesses, diseases, injuries, etc., according to

Hering's Law of Cures. It will not be the " real thing " but you will

feel all of the related symptoms.

problems with it but can't remember. I am slowly changing to a candida

diet. Did this changing of the diet cause this infection?

==>Yes, changing your diet creates natural healing in the body, and

like I said before your body will go backwards in time through all of

your previous symptoms, illnesses, diseases & injuries, according to

Hering's Law of Cures - it will not be the " real thing " but a re-

experiencing of it. It's like the body needs to re-cycle through past

problems that were previously suppressed, in order to heal.
