Not sure if this going to help or confuse anyone but here it goes. More than
a decade ago, I met a Dr Tom at a conference in Atlanta. I believe that he was
from Florida, at the time. Back then he was representing a product called
UROCYCLER. It was not an indwelling cath, but an accessory for those with
indwelling catheters. The theory behind its design and function seemed like it
might be good for some, but not everyone. It is a ceramic device that
connected between the indwelling catheter and collection bag. It allows urine
to collect in the bladder until pressure builds up and then the magnets
separate, allowing the urine to leave the bladder... under turbulence, to empty
the bladder.Has anyone heard of this system? You can Google, UROCYCLE and see
for yourselves.Comments AppreciatedBest WishesOn Sunday, November 5, 2023

How often should you flush your tube often?

I have a supra-pubic also..like some of you I have persistant bacteria that
I live with also, when I flush we just use sterile water, I have read that some
use saline or a mix of water and 0.25 acetic acid, I have not tried the
colloidal silver as a flush eitherwhat type flush do most of you use if not
doing the silver method??? Thanks Dan H>*** 26 years post.

I feel for you, Shirley. I'm right there with you, Don. I really don't have an
issue with incontinence but I've had my share of UTIs (indwelling catheter).
I'm 44 years post (C3-4). I've also been told that I have a "resistant bug"
that's not an issue for the most part. I'm told it's just there. The condition
has an actual name but I can't recall it at the moment.
I love the list of UTI-solution ideas, Don. Thanks for providing them. Never
heard of the colloidal silver flush. I'll have to do some research and speak
with my doctor about that one. Good luck, Shirley. Good luck, All.

Shirley,
I hope you get everything figured out and working properly again. UTIs and
incontinence are such a life-suck. They're just about the hardest part of life
with SCI.
I'm 41 years post-injury (C5-6, complete) and i've had my share of UTIs. I've
developed a resistant bladder bug that is probably with me all the time. As
long as i drink enough fluids I'm not symptomatic of infection, even though if
i did a urinalysis i'm sure it would come back positive. I try not to use
antibiotics except as a last resort.
I know a bunch of quads and just about every one has some favorite method of
treating a UTI without antibiotics. Things I've heard include: cranberry pills,
d-mannose, large doses vitamin C, probiotics, lime oil, oil of oregano and
bladder flushes with various solutions. I'm not a doctor, so obviously be
careful trying any of these.
The thing that has worked best for me (I have a suprapubic catheter) is
irrigating with a solution of colloidal silver. Silver is a natural
antiseptic/antifungal, so when i feel i'm getting a UTI symptom (usually
cloudy/smelly urine) I use a syringe to push the colloidal silver water up my
catheter into my bladder, then clamp off the catheter for at least 20 minutes.
i do this twice a day (once morning, once bedtime) for about 3 days at it makes
a huge difference. I wouldn't consider it a miracle cure, but it seems to take
out enough bad bacteria that my symptoms clear up for a while with no side
effects or possibility of resistance
I will be the first to admit that my results are purely anecdotal, and i was
highly skeptical of this silver stuff when another quad friend of mine told me
about it. I gave it a try because i was
