Treat E. Colli Infections with D-Mannose

Antibiotic-free cure makes bladder infections disappear

Q: I have a chronic bladder infection that keeps coming back, even though I've taken

antibiotics. My doctor says antibiotics are the only treatment available, and I'm really

hoping he's wrong. What else can I do?

A: Believe it or not, the best way to treat a bladder infection caused by E. coli may be to

give the bacteria what they want.

And what do E. coli want to get from human bladders in the first place? E. coli want -- in

fact, need -- molecules of D-mannose, a naturally occurring sugar present on the surfaces

of all the cells that line the bladder and urinary tract.

The reason that 85 to 90 percent of all bladder infections are caused by E. coli is that --

unlike nearly any other bacteria -- E. coli can "stick" to molecules of D-mannose. And, just

like some kind of SpiderMan the ugly bugs can swing from one D-mannose molecule to the

next to the next, until they've crawled their way right up into the bladder.

So give them what they want with a teaspoonful or more of sweet-tasting D-mannose

(much more than what's present in the walls of the bladder) taken every three to four hours

while awake. Since our bodies can't use all that D-mannose, most of it's dumped by our

kidneys into the urine, which then flows into the bladder.

The E.coli can't resist "grabbing on" to all that abundantly free-flowing D-mannose and in

the process detach themselves from the scarce D-mannose in the inner walls of the bladder.

The next few times you urinate, out go the happy D-mannose laden E. coli, until they're all

gone -- and along with them, the bladder infection. Talk with your doc to find out if this

simple and proven solution will work for you -- Best of luck!
