Sorry, dd is accepted on most lists as short for Dear Daughter, just like DH is short for Dear Husband or perhaps Dorky, or d...@#n depending on how you are feeling at that particular moment... the first D is always considered context sensitive ; -). It should have been capitialized though.

You know we did the cranberry every day for a year and it did help keep most of the infections at bay, but the MINUTE that we stopped she had one again. The naturopath seemed to think that meant she never really rid herself of it, it just "went into hiding". My daughter just turned six, and we have been battling this since she was three. I have caught a lot of flak from her "regular pediatrician" for not subjecting her to all the standard testing.To the point where i don't take her to see that Dr. anymore. The very first time DD had an infection, and I refused to immediately schedule her for an ultrasound and the radioactive dye tests, she yelled at me, and I mean really yelled. I have recently been considering taking her back in for the testing.

Just for the record, She has not had a transplant, just recurrent bladder infections.
So far the measures we've taken include these:
She is Supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day. Mostly she falls short, unless I am constantly nagging her. She's not allowed sugar, since it seems to make the situation worse. ( well O.k. very seldom ) She doesn't take baths, only showers. Of course no bubble bath, which is what started us down this path ( if only I had known... ) Now we have her using a wet wipe every time she goes just to make sure that she gets properly clean. She seems not to have any awareness of bowel issues until it is on the verge of being too late, so that she ends up with "messy" pants. At Six this is getting pretty embarrassing for her. Sorry of that was TMI everyone! We tried CS and it seemed to improve but as soon as she stops taking it, bingo, back to square one.

I am so hoping that she grows out of this soon. According to the information I've read, either they grow out of it, or they wind up needing to have surgery to correct it. The last time I posted about this everyone was really helpful. I wish I could say that we had resolved it, but it seems to just keep coming back.

Oh, and I have a question for you. How did you manage to teach your DD to swallow pills? Mine still can't. We'd been opening up the pill and giving it to her in some cod liver oil, which I am sure reduced the effectiveness of it, but it was the only way she could actually gag down the powder. Poor thing.

Sharon,
In our case, the cranberry was the key ingredient. Interestingly enough (with an immunosuppressed person) cranberry alone wasn't enough to kill the infection.......nor was CS alone sufficient. However, we DO use cranberry as a prophylaxis treatment to prevent any future urinary tract infections, with tremendous success (none in over a year). We use 1 nature's way standardized cranberry extract pill 2 times per day as her propylaxis protocol, and have stayed infection free.......even though her bladder actively refluxes "dirty urine" into her kidney (a common occurence in kidney transplants).

One suggestion about the water issue. Perhaps you could try to squeeze a 1/4 of a lemon, or adding a splash of juice to a tall glass of water. This may make it more palpable and acceptable for her to drink, and still have most of the benefits of drinking water. It's my opinion that the water plays as key of a role as the CS and cranberry.

One little question for you.........

What does dd mean? You said "I tried cs with my dd with no results". Is that a typo? Or a term I'm not familiar with? How old is she? My daughter that I use the the treatment on is 7, so I may have some more hints for you to get the necessary water into her......if your dealing with a child. ~:-}

Hope this helps,
Christiane

Christiane, that is very interesting. I tried cs with my dd with no results, but I didn't have her take cranberry. I will have to try that. It is also hard to get enough water down her. We have to basically restrict her to drinking water only ( as in no milk or juice or soy milk... )

Nia,

I have clinical proof of 5ppm LVDC CS taken in combination with Nature's Way Standardized Cranberry Extract completely killing a urinary tract infection in an immune suppressed kidney transplant in 48 hours. This is the treatment and dosing I used:



Cranberry extract: 1 capsule 3 times per day



CS: 4oz 3 times per day



Please note that using any other cranberry extract (3 others have been tried) did not produce these results. I use LVDC CS that I make myself from an inexpensive and simple generator that I purchased from <http://www.sunstoneherbals.com>www.sunstoneherbals.com many years ago.



The way this "team" of treatments works in the body is that the cranberry extract stops the infection from "sticking" to the bladder and urinary system, and the CS actually kills the infection.



It is very important when treating a urinary tract infection to drink plenty of water to flush the toxins through the system. Not juice, tea, or anything else......simple water. I would recommend a MINIMUM of a quart a day.



I hope my experience helps,

Christiane

Thank you Ivan.



What is a good dose of CS to knock out a stubborn bladder infection? How soon could one expect results?



I am new to list - new to CS and Beck protocol.



Thanks for the info.



Nia
