Hey sas-schatzi, that's ok. Its good to share any extra things that might be helpful. I really wish that something simple like kegels was enough to fix me. I just severely regret having listened to the morons of medicine. Every time I have anything to do with doctors, my entire life, I have terrible side effects and issues they could have warned me about and chose not to. Instead, those awful people chose to play god. My life is one medical malpractice incident after another. I never trust them anymore, I learned my lesson.

Mac with you on the malpractice stuff. We all could fill volumes. That's why I study so much, to protect my self.
UTI's: I had frequent asymptomatic UTI's. The thinking now is unless they are symptomatic don't treat them. That controversy started in the late 1990's, but has only recently become the approach of choice.
I found D-Mannose. Controversial as to whether it helps. You will see the range of research that says no, to research that says yes. I gave it a chance. For me I saw a change. It was recommended to take twice a day. Initially I took the twice a day as recommended. Later after the first retest I decided I couldn't afford that so I take it at bedtime. When I've run out and am off it for awhile I notice symptoms.
The very first sequence of using it. I had a positive random urine for bacteria. Next urine test after being on it for awhile the test was negative for bacteria. I was impressed. No other drug change in that time period. AND no drug side effects.
The other odd thing was in that second testing was my yearly Cholesterol/HDL/LDL screening. My HDL which is the good cholesterol went the highest it ever was. I took a look specifically for HDL and Mannose. I found the same thing as with UTI's research both ways --yes & no.. I'll believe the research that said it helped, as my HDL was always in the middle range. Again D-Mannose was the only thing that changed in that time period.

Sas-Schatzi, I really find D-Mannose to be a great help with UTI symptoms as well. It seems to be very benign, and very helpful. Really, when you think of all the horrible harmful things they inflicted on us, it is really nice to think of something like D-Mannose that either helps consistently or does no harm.

Mac read something the other day. D Mannose has an impact on cancer. Already forget the details. My thought was "great I'm already taking it" Went on to something else. Kinda dumb not to think about posting it somewhere. Getting lazy. UGH. The impetus to search was compelling (OCD) at one time. I'm getting less OCD as time goes on.
I'm guessing if you or anyone interested used keywords "D-Mannose and cancer" "D- Mannose and Cardiolvascular (or HDL) affect" "D-Mannose and UTI"
