Howdy Marshall,  Good to hear from you.  Yes I did use the Cranberry/CS 
protocol for the week before I began the Cranberry/Buchu regimine.  The 
Cranberry /CS alone only held me at the same level of chronic discomfort.  The 
relief with the Buchu added was immediate, within 24 hours.  From what I can 
garner from my literature the Buchu leaf is known in the Orient as the "Women's 
Helper".
Perhaps we have a Oriental Medicine specialist as a Lurker, who could help with 
this discussion.  All I can say is that the relief was dramatic.
