Infections of the v.urinary tract are relatively common especially inwomen and often require the taking of of antibiotics. D-Mannose is a natural and effective alternative to get out of acute or chronic urinary tract infections.
Urinary tract infections.
Cystitis is a very common disease in women and young girls. Most cystitis originates from contamination of the urethra by an intestinal bacteria. These infections are called"urethritis."When bacteria lodge in the bladder, it is a "cystitis" and when they reach the kidneys, it is a "pyelonephritis". In addition, chronic or poorly treated cystitis can be dangerous, as chronic kidney infection can lead to kidney failure.
E-coli is the germ responsible for 90% of cystitis even though it is part of the normal flora of the gut. The remaining 10% are due to bacteria such as "chlamydia, mycoplasma, neisseria gonorrheae" that are transmitted by sexual contact. They do not respond toD-mannose treatment and will likely require antibiotic treatment.
Conventional treatment of urinary tract infections is done by means of antibiotics that are not always effective and induce side effects:
- Antibiotics do not distinguish between the microbes to be killed and the friendly bacteria necessary for the proper balance of gut flora and vaginal flora. As a result, there are side effects such as diarrhea or vaginal infections.
- Although most of us tolerate antibiotics well, every year people are hospitalized for allergic reactions to these products.
D-Mannose is a simple sugar, cousin of glucose, which covers the cells of the urinary tract. It is also found in relatively large amounts in peaches, apples, oranges and some berries such as blueberries.
D-Mannose: the alternative treatment to antibiotics for cystitis
D-Mannose is a simple sugar, cousin of glucose, which covers the cells of the urinary tract. It is also found in relatively large amounts in peaches, apples, oranges and some berries such as blueberries. D-Mannose cures more than 90% of cystitis in 2 days and without killing any bacteria!
Indeed, there is another way to eliminate E-coli from the urinary tract, and that is to beat it on its own turf. To cause cystitis, the bacteria must find a way to adhere to the cells of the bladder and urinary tract. To do this, they use small hairs called "fringe" that are tipped with a glyco-protein (a combination of protein and carbohydrate) called lectin programmed to attach to the first mannose sugar molecule they encounter. Mannose molecules (naturally produced in the cells of the urinary tract) coat the surface of the cells of the urinary tract. Here, they act as "receptors" allowing the E-coli fringe to bind to the urinary cells in a Velcro-like fashion. Without this link to the mannose cells, each E-coli that has reached the urethra will be unable to attach to this slippery surface and will be expelled at the next urination.
What happens when you treat yourself with D-mannose?
In this case, these small, sweet D-mannose molecules that E-Coli loves, are present not only on the surface of the urinary cells but also in the urine. As a result, most bacteria will attach to the D-mannose floating in the urine and will be eliminated through the urine. The few E-coli that manage to bind to cell-hung D-mannose molecules will be easy prey for white blood cells and other immune system agents.
How to use D-mannose:
D-mannose only treats E-Coli UTIs (90% of UTIs).
- Acute cystitis: 1 teaspoon in a glass of water, every 2-3 hours. Significant reduction in symptoms within 24 hours, disappearance in 48 hours but treatment should be continued for 2-3 days after symptoms disappear.
- Chronic cystitis: 1 teaspoon in a glass of water, 3 X per day.
- Prevention of cystitis: 1 teaspoon in a glass of water, 1 X per day.
D-mannose hasno side effects. Moreover, it tastes good. Thanks to its effectiveness and non-toxicity, women, even pregnant women, can take it preventively. It is also recommended for children, who appreciate it for its sweet taste.
