6 Tips To End UTIs (and other infections, too)

6 Tips To End UTIs (and other infections, too)
I remember the first time I got a UTI. I was a freshman in college and it was finals week. I was trying to concentrate on my exams but kept getting this maddening, overwhelming urge to urinate every few minutes. But when I'd go to the bathroom, hardly anything came out and it burned like a blow torch. My brother was a medical student at the time, so I called him and frantically told him what was going on. He said, "Don't worry. It sounds like you've got a urinary tract infection. Get to the doctor and he'll give you antibiotics." Thankfully it cleared quickly and I've not had one in probably 25 years or more. But many others aren't so lucky. Many people are plagued with repeated UTIs and end up on one cycle of antibiotics after another. Like Eileen.  You can sense the desperation in her words: ******************* Hi Sherry: Could you please let me know of any way that I could avoid getting recurring urinary infections? I have had to take SO many antibiotics, all of which have so many side effects they are making me very ill. I would be very grateful for any suggestions you could give me. Yours Faithfully, Eileen P. ******************* SB: Eileen, I do have some answers for you and everyone who suffers from repeated (or even occasional) UTIs. You're not alone Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common type of infection, and are the reason for over 8 million doctor visits every year just in the US. Over half of all women will have at least one UTI in their lifetime. Men also get them (remember Tom Hanks in "The Green Mile") but not nearly as often as women. The most common cause of UTIs is bacteria from the rectal area getting into the urethra and then into the bladder. This can be due to things like wearing tight clothing, sexual activity or wiping back to front after a bowel movement. UTIs can also be caused by waiting too long to urinate, pregnancy, diabetes and having low estrogen levels. But why do I get them over and OVER? Unfortunately, many people like Eileen find themselves in a vicious cycle of recurring UTIs. Here is why that happens: UTIs are almost always treated with antibiotics. While it's true that the antibiotics successfully destroy the infection-causing bacteria, they also kill off your body's beneficial bacteria. And that's very bad. Because without a strong population of helpful bacteria in your body working for you, the harmful bacteria quickly regain the "upper hand" and grow out of control in your gut. This weakens your immune system and results in a high concentration of bad bacteria in your stool and rectal area. This harmful bacteria overgrowth caused by antibiotics also leads to digestive distress, which is what Eileen is experiencing. With a weakened immune system and lots of nasty bacteria around...this makes you VERY susceptible to getting another UTI. And if you do, you'll go back to the doctor, get another course of antibiotics, kill off droves of beneficial bacteria, and the cycle repeats itself. Sadly, for some women, this can go on for weeks, months or even years! Sound familiar? How to break the UTI cycle But the good news is there is a better, SAFER and more EFFECTIVE way to fight recurring UTIs... Here are 6 strategies that can help you see a big difference FAST: 1- Avoid using douches or other feminine hygiene products. On a rare occasion where you feel you must douche, use plain warm water. 2- Drink lots of water. Note that water means WATER and not soda, sports drinks or other sweetened drinks of any kind. The sugar in those drinks encourages harmful bacteria to thrive, so you'll be defeating the purpose and encouraging another UTI. 3- Limit your intake of alcohol and caffeinated drinks, both of which can irritate the bladder. 4- Always wipe from front to back after a bowel movement. If you have hemorrhoid problems or feel extra cleansing in the area is necessary, use witch hazel pads. 5- Avoid wearing damp clothing (such as bathing suits or sweaty workout gear) for long periods of time. Instead change into clean, dry clothing as soon as you can. And most importantly... 6- Take a medical-grade probiotic supplement every day. Super Shield multi-strain probiotic formula is your best defense against urinary tract infection (and other types of infection too).    Super Shield can help fight and prevent UTIs in these 2 ways: 1- Better bacteria inside means better bacteria "coming out" When you have a healthy population of friendly bacteria in your gut, it changes the bacterial makeup of your stool too. With fewer of the harmful bacteria lurking in your stool and rectal area, you're less likely to get a UTI. 2- The right "staff" for the job Super Shield contains the powerhouse probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei, all of which have been shown to be helpful in treating and preventing urinary tract infections. Plus, having and maintaining a good intestinal flora balance with Super Shield will help counteract the harmful effects of antibiotics, making it less likely that urinary tract infections will come back again and again and again... NOTE: If you are presently taking antibiotics for a UTI, you can still use Super Shield. Just be sure to take it two hours or more AFTER you take the antibiotics. That will help avoid the antibiotics from killing off the "good guys" you're taking in. Yes, you CAN finally say goodbye to urinary tract infections and their painful misery. Help your body fight UTIs (and other infections too!) naturally from within, and I bet you'll see the difference in how you feel VERY soon! To your health, Sherry Brescia PS: We're now on Facebook!

Sherry, This is a quick story about your Super Shield probiotics: My daughter had a serious sinus infection that she needed a strong antibiotic for. Her doctor suggested taking your probiotic 2 hours after she took her antibiotic. She forgot and suffered with diarrhea for a couple days. After she finally used it as it was suggested she had no more problems. Proof enough! She was very happy and I plan to always keep them in the house. Thanks.
