Fw: [QUAD-L] peebody
I never heard of using an acid-base solution use in the bladder for 10 minute. I take vitamin C 500mg 2 times a day. I rinse out my cathete bag with house hold cleaner. Two part cleaner to two part water. I too use alcohol wipes when changing over from one catheter bag to another. It seem to reduce infections for me too. But I think everyones body is not the same. So what works for someone maybe doesn't work for other. The best why is to know your body.

The only reasons that I might have got a UTI is not drinking enough water or due to other illness. One thing I have not heard discussed before is getting your catheter flushed out on a regular basis now to my old school urologist he strongly recommend that this using an acid-base solution retained in the bladder for about 10 minutes. Also nobody has mentioned any proud flesh around the catheter site is very common with this type of catheter and use silver nitrate to reduce it.I am 3/4 complete level injury and have been doing this 16 years can't be going wrong. Besides my current urologists is a cancer research type of individual and likes to take a scope about everyone a half years to make sure everything is checking out on the good side. Yes state insurance money covers all this, having individuals using alcohol wipes when changing over from one bank to another is another way to reduce infections

RE: [QUAD-L] Supra Pubic Flush
I'm really into natural remedies, I hate taking anti-biotics or other medications. This website can be very useful I recently started taking organic apple cider vinegar because I read it's good for bladder stones which I think I have, but I think it's also good for UTI's because it kills bacteria. I had a lot of discomfort and it has diminished quite a bit. I take 2 table spoons diluted in warm water, it doesn't taste bad like that. If you google apple cider vinegar you can see all of its benefits, its really good for a lot of things.
