Keep the genital area clean, wipe from front to back, urinate after sexual intercourse, avoid alcohol & caffeine. Drink cranberry juice daily, & wear (loose) cotton undergarments. 1 of the important preventive measures is to drink plenty of water. Urinate when needed, do not try to hold up urine in the bladder. Take care to empty the bladder by double voiding... Garlic, goldenseal & bearberry are some of the herbal remedies suggested to kill bacteria." |

Wright, Dr Jonathan in his joint venture with Bio-Tech to provide
d-Mannose supplements states that a good source of d-mannose simple sugar
is cranberries
& pineapple (such as juice). (When possible eat/juice raw organic foods.) However, to combat yeast, vaginal and bladder infections + kidney problems, one needs 1/2-1 tsp equivalent to l gram of d-mannose often every 3-4 hours when awake (1/4-1/2 tsp for children). Recommendation is to take as a powder in liquids. It is very effective in eliminating "excessive" good/friendly E (Escherichia) coli + bad mutant/unfriendly/unnormal E coli. |
