Hi: I asked Robert Rowen, newsletter writer and board certified physician in integrated medicine. He said that colloidal silver would irritate the lining of the bladder, but he offered to teach me to inject ozonated water in the bladder. There is probably still a pocket sized ozone generator sold on _www.amazon.com_ (http://www.amazon.com) which costs about $69 dollars that would make the ozonated water. Also, you might try D-Mannose, a sugar that kills many of the most common bacteria that cause UTIs. You can buy this at the health food store, but it is too expensive,and, from my experience, sold in capsules with not enough in one of them to do any good. Look online for just the white powder. I got mine from _www.sweetcures.com_ (http://www.sweetcures.com) , but they are in England, and it takes awhile to get your supply. I'm sure there are other places online you can find where you just get the pure powder. The package says to take 1 heaping teaspoon or more of Waterfall D-Mannose in water, tea, or fruit juice (not cranberry or orange) at onset of symptoms. Take another an hour later. Reduce to a level teaspoonful every three hours between meals for 2 days after symptoms abate. Reduce to 3 times a day for the next 2-3 days. If no relief is found within 24 hours, consult a doctor. If relief is just partial, try taking more. Maintenance dose: level teaspoon, once per day, or as required. Take one hour before sex, and immediately after. You can take this forever, and it does no harm. The bacteria do not develop a resistance to it. What I would do is take it every three hours around the clock--just set my alarm clock and have the water and D-Mannose by my bed. Hope this helps! In a message dated 5/25/2014 11:19:54 A.M.

Hi, I'm brand new to the list. Not totally ignorant on CS but lots to learn. 85 yo male in good health but since I must self catheterize I am plagued by bladder infections (lab test confirmed). When my temp. gets to 101 or so and I feel lousy I have resorted to antibiotics. Obviously one day they will not be effective not to mention the harm they do elsewhere. I have started drinking 8 oz of CS (made with a SilverGen) during the night and even administered rectally every other day for the past 5 days. It has kept my temp. down but the cloudy urine says that the infection is still there. Of course 5 days is a short time and maybe 8 oz is not enough?? Question: Would anyone have knowledge or opinion about actually injecting a pint or so of CS directly into the bladder? Now that I write it it seems like - yes it is a no brain-er but......................
