Cranberry & Recurrent UTIs

Recently The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, reported on the efficacy of supplementing with whole cranberry fruit powder for women with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). 150 women with a history of recurrent UTIs, defined as ≥ 3 UTIs in the last year or ≥ 2 UTIs in the last 6 months (but excluding women with > 5 within 6 months), received one daily capsule of either placebo or 500 mg whole cranberry powder. Urine cultures were performed at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and any time a woman presented with symptoms of a UTI.

At 6 months, the whole cranberry extract reduced culture-confirmed UTIs by 52% compared to placebo. Additionally, E. coli was the most frequently detected uropathogenic species in UTIs, and its incidence was also reduced by 51% among women taking cranberry extract. UTIs with symptoms of frequency and urgency were reduced by 71%, with a 59% reduction in the mean total number of UTIs per participant. There was no difference between groups regarding safety outcomes, with no serious adverse events reported.

We use Cranberry Complex which is a combination of cranberry and other herbs which support the urinary tract. Most of our patients have commented that the discomfort from a UTI is greatly or completely relieved within 30-60 minutes from taking this supplement, often with Golden Seal from MediHerb. It is prudent to take the combo - generally 2-3 tablets of each 2x/day for 10 days. Repeat urinalysis confirms that most women and men have complete resolution of a UTI without the use of antibiotics that often cause a secondary yeast infection.

A recent study found an increased risk of developing nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in individuals taking Ozempic. NAION is an eye condition caused by decreased blood supply to the optic nerve. It causes SUDDEN, painless VISION LOSS in one eye with irreparable damage to the nerve and impacts the eye’s connection to the brain.

According to the Mass Eye and Ear study, the percentage of patients received a NAION diagnosis:
- 8.9% of diabetic patients taking semaglutide
- 1.8% of diabetic patients taking other medications
- 6.7% of overweight or obese patients taking semaglutide
- 0.8% of overweight or obese patients taking other medications

Patients with diabetes who took semaglutide were more than FOUR TIMES more likely to develop NAION than those on other medications.

Patients who were obese and took semaglutide were more than EIGHT TIMES more likely to develop NAION than those on other medications.

I only use oil on my face - and have for over 13 years. Even though I don't wear make-up, a lot of women do and complain that they can't apply make-up immediately after moisturizing with oil - YOU CAN WITH THIS ONE! I'd never hear about a "dry oil". BTW - it's nothing like dry shampoo.....LOL

When 4 generations pile into a minivan and drive 3 hours round-trip, to be adjusted...and bring original artwork, it makes even the hardest days worthwhile.

Thanks Amelia for the picture and the best hugs.💜

Turmeric and Heavy Metal Detoxification

Turmeric, specifically its active compound curcumin, shows potential in assisting with heavy metal detoxification through chelation, anti oxidative support, as well as anti-inflammatory support, supports detox pathways

Animal studies suggest curcumin can have a chelating effect on heavy metals.
Research indicates that turmeric can significantly increase the concentration of enzymes involved in glucuronidation, a process important for detoxification.
A review article suggests that curcumin's antioxidant activity may help protect against metal-induced toxicity.
