Hello Brooks; This post interests me because I have a chronic urogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury 38 years ago; L1-L5 compression fracture resulting from a motorcycle accident. In the more recent past I have had two operations for bladder stone removal, three and two years ago. for about the past eight years I have taken oxybutynin chloride (ditropan is essentially identical, curare for the bladder<g>) to reduce spasming and the exacerbation of diverticulae as well as the possibility of reflux to the kidneys. I'm under the care of the SCI center at the Palo Alto VA Hospital as an outpatient. Shortly after the second stone removal I contracted an infection requiring I.V. drip of Gentamycin alternating with Vancomycin for 4 days; painful and frightening, probably a hospital bug. I realized I'd better rely on something more than the VA for possible future resistant infections, and began making colloidal silver per Thom. Miller's site plans. Since I intermittently cath, using neosporin as a lubricant, I attempted irrigating with the CS as well as taking orally , but had no real success in supressing infections - back to the pill bottle. Since then, I've built a constant current, relay flip-flop, generator with stirring and thus improved the quality of my CS, but have hesitated to try it as an irrigant since on one memorable occasion I apparently innoculated myself with something other than CS - back to the pill bottle. I regularly irrigate with Suby's G solution, a buffered citric acid solution, without problems. I noted your inclusion of DMSO, 5% in the irrigating solution and would very much appreciate learning of other experimental protocols you might be aware of directly or otherwise. I really do need to manage my own health concerns on this problem, since the VA Health Care System is relatively - say rather absolutely - inflexible in such matters. There are some good Doc.s but they are constrained by the system. Thanks very much, Malcolm
