Cystitis, UTIs, and Medicine

Despite the best efforts of medical researchers, doctors, and urologists, as most people with cystitis or repeat UTI infections have become aware of, they don't have all the answers. In some cases they don't have any real answers, because standard allopathic treatment may make matters worse. In other cases medical professionals become experts in one field or procedure, and may unintentionally favour that method of treatment, and have blind-spots to others.

While it's not your doctor's fault that bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, it might be your doctor's fault that he or she has not explored the alternatives. Most antibiotics have well-known side-effects, and less well-known side-effects that may affect a sizable minority of patients. Fluoroquinolene-based antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin, are known to affect the joints, bones,tendons, and muscles, but few people are aware that the muscles that may be affected include the heart, and the muscles of the eye. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are not a good idea except as a last resort, but are commonly used on bladder infections and UTIs before having the urine properly cultured and the bacteria tested for susceptibility to narrow-spectrum combinations. This almost invariably assists the bacteria involved to build resistance. Once a broad-spectrum antibiotic has failed, a narrow-spectrum antibiotic or combination is unlikely to be able to kill the bacteria.

Meanwhile the bacteria gain in strength, colony size, and extent of invasion. From what may have initially been a simple urethral infection the bladder becomes infected. From a bladder infection the kidneys (and in men, often, the prostate) become infected. And from that point on, things get worse. It's very hard for antibiotics to completely get rid of kidney infections, so people end up in hospital getting intravenous doses of antibiotics. In a lot of cases this will do the job, but the side-effects can be devastating. And if the infection, as so often happens, returns, it's probably going to take more antibiotics next time. Eventually, if the patient is continually taken down this route, one or both kidneys may be damaged, sometimes beyond repair.

The worst of the matter, we believe, is that this treatment is often entirely unnecessary. Huge feedback from thousands of customers shows that a pleasant to take dose of Waterfall D-Mannose™, at the first hint of infection, usually stops it in its tracks. Starting in the middle of a full-blown infection, its takes more to stop the infection, but in a day or two, it's usually gone. After lots of antibiotics, and recurrent infections,you need to take even more , but in a few days, it's gone, and a maintenance dose daily usually prevents further attacks.

And when you know that's the case, and there are a lot of people suffering unnecessarily, you get a lot of motivation to change things. That's why myself, John Bremner, and my partner, Anna McNamara, haven't had a decent holiday in four years. Do you let someone suffer, or do you stay at work and answer their enquiry?

Case in point, Stefan Paolicchi, and we can't do better than to let him say it in his own words...

Stefano Paolecchi

Dear John and Anna, Do you remember? I am Stefano Paolicchi, from Pisa (Italy), on the wheelchair, with spinal cord injury, with intermittent catheterization, and recurring urinary tract infections, forced to an overuse of antibiotics that created antibiotic-resistant strains. Using Waterfall D-Mannose, I reported finally significant improvement. Now, I take every day your Waterfall D-Mannose as cure preventive and I have convinced also other paraplegics to take it. Thank you very much for the great aid that you have given to me with SAN MANNOSIO [Saint Mannose]. Stefano Paolecchi

But of course, most people who use our mannose are women, for the simple reason that women get more UTIs. Women like Penny Roberts...
