Painful UTIs and What To Do About Them!

URINARY TRACT INFECTION 

Lifestyle Recommendations: 

• Stay well-hydrated to facilitate the flushing out of bacteria from the urinary system.

• Urinate at the moment of urging; do not delay as it may increase the risk of bacterial overgrowth.

• Urinate and wash before and after sexual intercourse.  

• Practice good personal hygiene and cleanse genitalia daily. 

• Women should abstain from the use of douches, hygiene sprays, and scented powders. Instead use pure, unscented soap and water. 

• Wear cotton underwear; avoid underwear of silk, polyester, and other lighter material.  

• Avoid wearing thongs and tight-fitting pants/underwear on a regular basis.  

• Avoid sitting for long periods of time; take a break and move/walk after a couple of hours. 

Dietary Tips and Caveats: 

• Avoid all sugars - like high fructose corn syrup and white flour products. As well as refined, high-glycemic, carbohydrates, including cereals and pasta. 

• Drink plenty of filtered water. 

• Avoid dehydrating beverages such as alcohol, caffeinated coffees, and soft drinks. 

• Drink 3-4 glasses per day of unsweetened cranberry juice mixed with water if under 40 years of age (women over 40 may experience bladder irritation from cranberry juice). 

• Get a balance of omega-3 fats (salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines) and omega-9 fats (olive oil, olives, almonds, hazelnuts, and avocados). 

Supplement Recommendations (Designs for Health): 

• Homeopathic: E. Coli is the common culprit. Our office has this Remedy to specifically target E. Coli.

• Probiophage DF™: 1- 2 capsules per day with breakfast

• UT Synergy™: 2 capsules, 3-4 times per day at the onset of symptoms

• Silvercillin™ Liquid: 1 TBSP, 2 times per day

For Severe Acute Infections:

• UT Intensive™ Chewables (D mannose and Cranberry): 2 chewables, 2 times per day

As part of a maintenance dose in recurrent UTIs:

• UT Intensive™ Chewables (D mannose and Cranberry): 1 chewable per day along with UT Synergy™

  
  **If significantly elevated temperature, flank pain, and/or severe burning on urination develop, or if infection persists past several days, a full medical evaluation should be performed and antibiotic therapy considered.

Other Natural Remedies (If you want to purchase these on your own):

*Remember: High Quality Supplements = Greater Results! Don’t skimp on getting the cheapest supplement. You get what you pay for!

• Cranberry Extract: Cranberry supplements or cranberry juice are often mentioned as a potential preventative measure for UTIs. Some studies suggest that cranberry may help reduce the risk of recurrent UTIs by preventing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining.

• D-Mannose: D-Mannose is a type of sugar found in cranberries and other fruits. Some people use it as a supplement to help prevent or alleviate UTIs. It is believed to work by preventing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining.

• Probiotics: Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the gut and urinary tract. Some research suggests that certain probiotic strains may be useful in preventing UTIs.

• Vitamin C: Vitamin C may help acidify the urine, making it less favorable for the growth of bacteria. It's not a direct treatment for UTIs but can potentially support urinary tract health.

• Dandelion Root: Dandelion root is sometimes used in herbal remedies for urinary tract health. It is believed to have diuretic properties and may help flush bacteria out of the urinary tract.

• Garlic: Garlic is known for its potential antibacterial properties and immune system support. Some people use garlic supplements as a natural remedy, but more research is needed to establish its effectiveness for UTIs.

• Kimchi: Kimchi has a ton of immune-fighting properties. It’s an acquired taste! Be prepared to have a potential garlic smell! Painful UTIs can be harmful to kidneys so you will do what it takes!

How to lose weight with a Reese's peanut butter smoothie

I am always concerned about false claims. So I want to put a caveat on this because you can't lose weight if you already are eating well and just started doing a smoothie like this in the morning. If you are eating well, other issues may be involved like thyroid, infection, adrenal stress, etc. But for the majority of people that over eat, research has shown that a meal replacement will help you to lose weight and or maintain. My experience with patients that lost close to 5000 lbs (as of April 2015) at our clinic is this:  Replace breakfast and lunch with smoothies or meal replacements and add 1 more protein snack (15 to 20 grams protein).  Doing a ideal protein meal replacement  or a smoothie like the one below to replace breakfast and lunch along with a sensible regular dinner with protein and vegetables is key.  You must have at least 6 glasses of water and 4 cups of vegies as well (measured uncooked).  Please do your research as doing a program like ideal protein at home requires specific supplementation to offset lost nutrients and it is normally medically supervised by a ideal protein clinic.

That being said, this smoothie actually came by accident. I have been putting pink salt in my morning smoothie every morning to get more trace minerals. I start however with 32 oz of water with Premier pink salt so I can get all my hydration in the morning.  One day, I put way too much salt in a glass of water. Instead of using the small pores of the salt bottle, it was the large opening where you put a teaspoon in so there went half the  bottle into the water.  Argh!  Well, I said.  I can save it.  I just let it soak in water in the frig. I didn't want to waste it so I actually have been putting a quarter cup in my smoothie every morning, well it made it taste mildly salty. Which I kind of liked actually.  Well, this morning I made this smoothie and it tasted like Reeses peanut buttercup! I asked Alivia to try it too and she goes "yeah!".

So here's the ingredients:

• 5 cups water

• 1 tablespoon rice bran that has antioxidants and multivitamins (optional) it is a superfood made by immunologic.net.

• Pure paleo protein chocolate flavor (Designs for health) 1 scoop and a half (use 2 if not using gamactopro below

• 1 frozen banana

• 1 cup frozen organic blueberries or mixed berries (Costco),

• 1/2 tsp premier sea salt pink salt (or to taste)

• 1 tablespoon Biotics mixed efa

• 1 tbsp Smart Balance natural creamy peanut butter non GMO,

• 1 scoop GamactaPro from Biotics (great for muscle and exercise recovery)

• This feeds my family of 5.  2 adults 3 children ages 9 to 14.

There you go enjoy!

Lebanese garlic sauce

I love this sauce! The only complication with this is that once you refrigerate it, it gets hard because of the coconut oil that I use, but it still tastes great! Just let it melt on your plate and use it on whatever you want. It won't stay emulsified like it does in the restaurant, since I'm using healthy coconut oil to replace the vegetable oil, I don't think it can stay emulsified because of the melting at higher temperatures. The other way using rancid vegetable oil which is really unhealthy for you, helps it to stay in emulsified form. I typically use it with salads or you name it! I like it with organic corn chips gmo free with a special Kimchi my mom-in-law makes. Or with vegetables and with chicken.Be creative!

Historically you had to use a mortar and pestle, and it took 30-40 minutes to do this recipe. I want to save you time so this is my 15 minute version. The best way to do this is with a immersion blender. The ones that you stick inside a glass and just blend. I use the same 32 oz mason jar over and over again because garlic kills all the bugs:   viruses, parasites, fungus/mold, bacteria.   

Here is the recipe:

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil in tin container with expiration date (you can increase this amount if you want less solidifying from the coconut oil going in and out of refrigerator.

1 cup expeller pressed coconut oil (no flavor) (Less if you use more olive oil),  both oils = 2 cups total

1 bulb garlic

1 tbl Premier research Sea salt (processed without Nickel heavy metal that is toxic to your body)

1 cup Lemon juice

Chop garlic into small pieces,  put all into 32 oz mason jar,  use immersion blender and blend for 2 minutes,  ENJOY!  (I like with vegetables, chicken, salads, organic baked corn chips)
