I know you say to work on your adrenals for IC, and Uva Ursi for any bladder infections- but what about biofilm in the bladder? if there is an infection and the bladder is damaged and inflamed, how would someone go about curing it? I do not have severe pain (this just started yesterday) but i do have bladder pressure and soreness , I had frequency last night, but the uva ursi stopped it, i feel some prostate issue might be going on... I KNOW this is bacterial, i was sick yesterday and had a sore throat and have had strep problems-
ok I am taking pau d"arco and chaparral, alkalizing the uva ursi, and taking chinese licorice. Any other suggestions? i just am trying not to get worse. thanks bud N
I still recommend the uva ursi for biofilm. Remember to alkalinize the urine for the hydroquinones formed from uva ursi to work.
Marshmallow root is great for toning the bladder and it can be combined with the licorice root for the inflammation.
Silica and vitamin C sources will help with strengthening the tissues of the bladder.
What I'm concerned with is trying not to irritate my bladder or prostate and be able to take vitamin C and some acidic foods.
Limiting your vitamin C intake to below 2g daily will help since the excess C forms irritating oxalic acid. Limiting uric acid production will also help. In other words low protein, avoid mushrooms, limit yeast intake, stay away from caffeine and alcohol. More water to make sure all the crystals get hydrolyzed.
Trying to take kefir and keep my stomach acid up and not irritate my bladder. It's kind of a fine line and I'm just wondering if you had any other suggestions. Diet wise or drinks wise or anything like that or any other herbs or just anything I'm pretty much read all your posts about this I'm just curious
Some suggestions above and the others given in the last post. The marshmallow root will be particularly helpful as it helps to tone and soothe the bladder.
by the way your liver tonic saved a friend of mine from horrible liver pains ( hep c). it was the most amazing thing for him and I want to thank you. I'm going to order some more from you for him so I'll contact you soon okay thanks so much Hope all is well and if you could think of anything else that would help me I'd really appreciate it Big hugs!!
That is great news, thanks for sharing.
When I first made a version of this formula for someone the person who it was made for had really bad ascites. They tapped of 3 gallons of fluid but came right back. When they gave him Lasix he only put out 100cc of fluid. So I made the formula and his father flew out there to take it to him. He checked himself out of the hospital since they were not doing any good. They started him on the formula and the next day I was receiving calls from the entire family telling me I would not believe what happened. After starting him on the formula he put out 3,000cc of fluid overnight and all the swelling went down. When he went back to the doctor a month or two later all of his lab tests came back normal and they said they could not find any traces of his hepatitis. Since then I have made a few modifications to improve on the formula even more.
Maybe I am incorrect, but it seems you are not very familiar with interstitial cystitis (IC), which is indeed difficult to be because IC is so confusing and complex. IC is not an infection, and therefore, it never involves bacteria.
Actually the cause of IC is not known, and bacterial infection has infection has been proposed by some researchers:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8284843
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7855970
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17036170
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7869536
If you have a medical degree and truly know your symptoms are related to bacteria, then you know IC is not involved.
That is questionable. Again, bacteria are suspected as a possible cause of IC. And there is no reason a person cannot have IC and still contract a urinary tract infection. Especially when there is damage to the bladder, especially ulcerative IC:
In fact, bacterial cystitis is considered a possible precursor for IC. In short the hypothesis is the bacterial cystitis leads to damage of the bladder epithelium. This in turn leads to leaking of potassium in to the interstitium leading to mast cell activation and histamine release, release of substance P and immune reactions. All these lead increased damage to the bladder leading to increased interstitial potassium continuing the cycle.
