Treat a bladder infection without antibiotics? Yes, it is possible!
Dr. Jonathan Wright, renowned antiaging doctor, speaks about a natural treatment in the book Breakthrough, by Suzanne Somers. Below is a summary of his discussion with Suzanne.
Did you know that 90% of all bladder infections are thanks to the bacteria E. coli? Sometimes E. coli, normally found in the colon, can end up in the bladder and this is when things turn a tad uncomfortable!
D-mannose is a simple sugar that is found in cells in the bladder. E. coli sticks to D-mannose in the bladder and then the thriving E. Coli reproduce, creating mayhem in the bladder. E. Coli aren’t flushed out of the bladder, because they are clinging to the D-mannose for dear life. This is where the natural treatment comes in!
We can only metabolize a certain amount of D-mannose and we excrete the excess. So if we take D-mannose (he suggests 3-5 grams), the E. Coli will be super happy and will cling to the excess D-mannose which will be excreted. Bladder infection cured. Brilliant, isn’t it! And like all antiaging medicine, it just makes sense.
Dr. Wright also notes that this will work 9 out of 10 times. If it does not work, seek medical attention and you may indeed need to take an antibiotic.
Stay tuned for more Breakthrough tips!
To YOUR health,
