That is true and factual. A standing void would reduce the risk of colonizing to very low. However, most Paras and Quads do not stand to void. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/11/2014 2:25:18 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I was told my urine samples would always test positive for bacteria because it had become colonized.

A wheelchair users, sitting... creates a pool of urine in their bladder. If not completely flushed, bacteria will develop and colonize. Standing, can assist the bladder in voiding.

I had never even heard of lime oil, but I'm always open to trying natural cures as opposed to drugs/antibiotics. He takes one teaspoon per month and another spoonful when he detects symptoms of UTI coming on. I cannot vouch for its effectiveness but I still wanted to pass along the info. He was skeptical at first but now he swears by it. You should check with a professional regarding the dosage. One warning: he said it tastes horrible! You can buy lime oil inexpensively. In researching it I learned it's a natural antiseptic, bactericidal, antiviral and disinfectant. Makes sense it might work against UTI. I also learned that Oregano Oil is considered 'nature's antibiotic,' and may also be effective in treating all sorts of ills. Be well! Don.
