Fighting Cystitis & UTIs with D-Mannose
Fighting Kidney Infections
E.coli related kidney infections are difficult to get rid of with normal dose levels of Waterfall D-Mannose. If you do decide to attempt to go down this alternative route, you should have your prescribed antibiotics at hand in case it doesn't work. First take your doctor's advice.
A customer told us that she was successful at fighting an antibiotic-resistant kidney infection using the following method:
She took two to three heaped teaspoonfuls of Waterfall D-Mannose every two to three hours for about 15 hours. At the end of that day the pain in her kidneys had totally disappeared, and she then went on to normal dose levels of Waterfall D-Mannose for a few days.
[Also note that, as with most glyconutrients, taking Waterfall D-Mannose at much higher than usual dose levels (and especially combined with the aloe vera and garlic) is likely to have a drastic laxative effect. Don't stray far from a toilet!]
During that first day she drank about 4 litres...
In between doses, she took 2 cloves of garlic blended in apple juice. We suggest it's best to use fresh garlic - customers have tried the garlic pearlies and powders - and said they don't work to help clear kidney infections! Preferably use organic garlic. We prefer nature's way...
She also took a glass of strong Aloe Vera juice (botanical name Aloë Barbadensis Miller) every three hours. Best to use fresh Aloe Vera plant leaf if you have that plant, or can get it. It is often stocked by local garden centres. The way to do it is to snip off a leaf of Aloe Vera at the base, wash it well, and liquidise it in a blender with about 3/4 pint of apple juice. This will provide you with 2 glasses of Aloe Vera. The juice you buy at health food shops is not nearly as strong as this method of production. Also, the pre-prepared juice has lost many of the active ingredients. But use it if you must - just take more. Back to the liquidising... Smaller leaves can be liquidised whole, but with larger leaves, bigger than 15 inches long, or older plants, it is best to squeeze out the gel from the leaf, and discard the rest. The bigger ones (if they have yellow veins in them) can make you feel ill, or cause diarrhoea, if you take them whole.
We've had varied feedback on this - it could make you feel ill, and it will definitely make your breath vampire-repellant for days, but on the whole our feedback suggests that taking this treatment has a reasonable chance of clearing up bacterial origin kidney infections. Since unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone, sometimes you will do all of this and it will not be successful and you'll end up having to take the antibiotics anyway.
Our own view is that it is probably better to try the antibiotics first for kidney infections, and if they don't work, consider the Waterfall D-Mannose treatment. In the end, it has to be your choice. Remember that you should consult your doctor on any important health matters. You should consult a qualified medical herbalist for proper guidance on taking any herb such as Aloe Vera. Remember also that if your kidneys are in trouble, you can overload them by drinking too much fluid.
Once you have successfully dealt with an episode of cystitis using Waterfall D-Mannose, you can use it to keep infections at bay. In most cases it will be more effective than a prophylactic antibiotic, both as a preventative, and if necessary, to stop flare-ups from developing into full blown infections.
