Question by Megan: Has anyone completely cured chronic UTI?
Please someone help me if you have any information. I have been experiencing chronic UTIs for 2 years now. I have tried antibiotics at the onset of infection with little success, vibrational healing, acupuncture, homeopathy and a variety of basic home remedies such as
baking soda flushes
cranberries/juice
cider vinegar and honey
herbal remedies such as HerbFarm’s CranBladder ReLeaf
uva ursi
bucchu
dietary changes
physical activity to strengthen abdominal muscles and release bodily toxins such as hatha/bikram yoga
cleaning after sex and using the restroom
…
everything…

My main problem is that I experience residual symptoms after I get an actual infection, like sensitivity, bloating, and pain. I have never had an infection that went to the kidneys or that made me bleed during urination.

Answer by PvtStorm
It looks like you’ve tried everything but drinking water! I used to drink lots of sodas and sweet tea and had chronic UTIs. Last summer, I started drinking water with maybe 2 glasses of sweet tea each week, and NO SODAS! I still have coffee occasionally too, but I limit my caffeinated drinks to 2-3 per week no matter what. If I exceed that limit, I begin experiencing symptoms again.

You should drink enough water so your urine is clear with no yellow tint at all when in the toilet bowl. If you see any shade of yellow, drink more water! If you do this, I promise you will begin seeing improvement within days and no pain within about a week!

That being said, chronic insomnia treatment is vital for anyone experiencing this frustrating condition. First, you have to define whether or not you have true ongoing insomnia. If you occasionally find it hard getting to sleep, you are not experiencing insomnia.

Chronic, or on-going, insomnia is classified as occurring at least three nights a week over a month or more. What’s more, insomnia is a symptom, rather than a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. True insomnia is a difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. Insomnia is not simply gauged by a specific number of hours of sleep that you get. You have to realize that people vary widely in their sleep needs and routines. Insomnia Sleep Disorder

Could be a pinched nerve. Go see a Chiropractor or Physiotherapist. Anti inflammation drugs might also help.

You could also have a look at buying a TENS machine to try and manage the pain yourself.

Chronic Liver Cirrhosis for sine , sysmptoms and Homeopathic treatment

 

 

  

Liver Cirrhrosis  following signs and symptoms may occur in the presence of cirrhosis or as a result of the complications of cirrhosis. Many are nonspecific and may occur in other diseases and do not necessarily point to cirrhosis. Likewise, the absence of any does not rule out the possibility of cirrhosis.

1. Spider angiomata or spider nevi. Vascular lesions consisting of central arteriole surrounded by many smaller vessels due to an increase in estradiol.

2. Palmar erythema. Exaggerations of normal speckled mottling of the palm, due to altered sex hormone metabolism.

3. Muehrcke’s nails - paired horizontal bands separated by normal color due to   hypoalbuminemia

4. Terry’s nails – proximal two thirds of the nail plate appears white with distal one-third red, also due to hypoalbuminemia

5. Clubbing – Angle between the nail plate and proximal nail fold > 180 degrees

6. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Chronic proliferative periostitis of the long bones that can cause considerable pain.

7. Dupuytren’s contracture. Thickening and shortening of palmar fascia that leads to flexion deformities of the fingers. Thought to be due to fibroblastic proliferation and disorderly collagen deposition. It is relatively common (33% of patients).

8. Gynecomastia. Benign proliferation of glandular tissue of male breasts presenting with a rubbery or firm mass extending concentrically from the nipples. This is due to increased estradiol and can occur up to 66% of patients.

9  Liiver size. Can be enlarged, normal, or shrunken.

10. Splenomegaly. Due to congestion of the red pulp as a result of portal hypertension.

 

 

 

11. Hypogonadism. Manifested as impotence, infertility, loss of sexual drive, and testicular atrophy due to primary gonadal injury or suppression of hypothalamic or pituitary function.

12. Splenomegaly. Due to congestion of the red pulp as a result of portal hypertension.

13. Ascites. Accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity giving rise to flank dullness (needs about 1500 mL to detect flank dullness).

14.Caput medusa. In portal hypertension, the umbilical vein may open. Blood from the portal venous system may be shunted through the periumbilical veins into the umbilical vein and ultimately to the abdominal wall veins, manifesting as caput medusa.

15.Cruveilhier-Baumgarten murmur. Venous hum heard in epigastric region due to collateral connections between portal system and the remnant of the umbilical vein in portal hypertension.

Fetor hepaticus Sweet pungent smell in breath due to increased dimethyl sulfide due to severe portal-systemic shunting.

16. Jaundice. Yellow discoloring of the skin, eye, and mucus membranes due to increased bilirubin (at least 2-3 mg/dL or 30 mmol/L). Urine may also appear dark.

17.Asterixis. Bilateral asynchronous flapping of outstretched, dorsiflexed hands seen in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.

18.Other. Weakness, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss.

Complications-

As the disease progresses, complications may develop. In some people, these may be the first signs of the disease.

1. Bruising and bleeding due to decreased production of coagulation Jaundice due to decreased processing of bilirubin.

2. Itching(pruritus) due to bile products deposited in the skin.

Hepatic encephalopathy- the liver does not clear ammonia and related nitrogenous substances from the blood, which are carried to the brain, affecting cerebral functioning: neglect of personal appearance, unresponsiveness, forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, or changes in sleep habits.

Sensitivity to medication due to decreased metabolism of the active compounds.

3. Hepatocellular carcinoma is primary liver cancer, a frequent complication of cirrhosis. It has a high mortality rate.

4. Portal hypertension- blood normally carried from the intestines and spleen through the portal vein flows more slowly and the pressure increases; this leads to the following complications:

5. Ascites – fluid leaks through the vasculature into the abdominal cavity.

Problems in other organs.

1. Cirrhosis can cause immune system dysfunction, leading to . Signs and symptoms of infection may be aspecific are more difficult to recognize (e.g. worsening encephalopathy but no fever).

2. Fluid in the abdomen (ascites) may become infected with bacteria normally present in the intestines (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis).

3. Hepatorenal syndrome – insufficient blood supply to the kidneys, causing acute renal failure.This complication has a very high mortality (over 50%).

4. Hepatopulmonary syndrome- blood bypassing the normal lung circulation (shunting), leading to cyanosis and dyspnea (shortness of breath), characteristically worse on sitting up.

5. Portopulmonary hypertension – increased blood pressure over the lungs as a consequence of portal hypertension

There are no real icteric symptoms, but there is a peculiar sallow complexion.

7. Chelidonium Majus [Chel]
The liver symptoms of Chelidonium are very prominent. There is soreness and stitching pains in the region of the liver, but the keynote for this drug in hepatic diseases is a pain under the angle of the right shoulder blade, which may extend to the chest, stomach, or hypochondrium; there is swelling of the liver, chilliness, fever, jaundice, yellow coated tongue, bitter taste and a craving for acids and sour things, such as pickles and vinegar. The stools are profuse, bright yellow and diarrhoea; they may be clayey in color. Taken altogether, Chelidonium is perhaps our greatest liver remedy; it causes the liver to secrete thinner and more profuse bile than any remedy; it is a useful remedy to promote the expulsion of gall stones, and to prevent their formation. It affects the left lobe of the liver much less than does Carduus marianus.

Question by anonymom: Chronic Sinus infection I feel like I’ve tried everything. Help!?
I have had a sinus infection for over 3 months. 3 months ago at it’s worst, I had an ear infection, bronchitis, and sinus infection. I was very sick. Here is what i’ve tried:
3 rounds of antibiotics
a variety of homeopathic medicine and other remedies prescribed by my naturopathic doctor (silica, garlic, lauracidin, seriphos, probiotics, ThyroChord)
Gluten free, dairy free, soy free diet for 3 weeks
castor oil packs about 3x/week
hydrotherapy
Vitamin D supplements
2 types in inhalers

Tests:
CT scan which showed my sinuses we all completely, totally full (this was after 2 rounds of antibiotics)
blood work- this all looks pretty good, with a slightly below ok range for Vit. D, high normal TSH and high normal white blood cell count.

I am getting ok sleep, about 7 hours a night
I have A LOT of stress in my life (single mom, 2 small girls, full time job + part time job, recently divorced and very angry at ex- this is the biggest part of my stress, house under water and can’t afford payments)

What I have going for me is regular exercise, very good social support

Any ideas or thoughts about what else I can do? I am sooooo tired of being sick…

I’ve been taking Liquid Chlorophyll you can find it in health food stores or online. Take 1 tablespoon each day…you can mix it with water if you don’t like the taste but I usually take it a tablespoon of it and swish it around in my mouth before I swallow it.

I had an infected tooth and the infection went up into my sinus. Chlorophyll is a good blood cleanser and blood builder I’ve used it for many years.

Answer by Gina C
If the CAT scan of your sinuses is normal, then you have no blockages that hold fluids or need repair? If that is so, then you just need to get them clean enough to recover. All that gunk stuck up there rots. ‘Rots’ is another word for infection.

Never swallow drainage from your head, always spit.

You have not yet tried regularly irrigating your sinuses. Use a soft rubber long tip ear and nose syringe to suck your nose out, and to rinse it. There are various prepared solutions for doing this, and you can also make your own. it is extremely cheap. It takes a sort of knack, because it is gross and chokey, but you can get it… Put solution up your back-tilted head, wait as long as you can, blow and spit, use the rubber syringe if you have to to suck it out, repeat until air goes through your head, then you are done. It is sort of amazing how, as time goes by, horrible alien lookin’ blobs of stuff comes out of your head and whole new departments of nose open up… You can feel air *moving* in creepy places you don’t recall being air chambers

I have had the best luck with adding boric acid and using as cool water as I can tolerate (it reduces swelling, just like ice – but beware brain freeze!). http://www.allianceent.net/index.php?section=9&pid=195 has recipes and tips. I am a mouth breather, and this dries your sinuses too. I found that a few drops of glycerin (which is not mentioned on the site, but was recommended to me) keeps down irritation while healing, and keeps things moist at night.

One source of annoyed blocked up sinuses is sleeping on your back, and another is snoring/mouth breathing. The first prevents drainage, and the second dries your sinuses out, keeping them from defending themselves. Believe it or not, you *want* a wet nose inside. Stay well hydrated, and if you tend to have thick mucous, take guaifenesin, the generic of mucinex, which thins secretions generally. Get it plain, everything in the combined formulations are things that have rebound, and generic is cheapest.

Dust and smoke in your home and workplace, animal dander, and mites in your upholstery can also be irritating. clean your house, get rid of all the fabric you can in favor of flat floors with washable carpets. if you have an apartment or are stuck with carpet, get a HEPA filter or water bath vacuum. If you smoke, or members of your family do, quit or do it outside. Stand in your shower and breathe the steam. Obsessive dental hygiene helps (no infection crawls out of your mouth and up your head).

I have struggled with what you describe for years and years, and it will still get the drop on me now and then… but a couple days of irrigating will head it off now.
