In my last post I’ve looked at biofilm infections and why they could be at the root of bladder problems. In this post I’m going to look at potential treatments for biofilm infections.

If you haven’t read my last post yet it might be a good idea to read it now. It explains what biofilms are.

Biofilms have been recognized to play a role in many infections, yet orthodox treatment options are still limited and research is ongoing.

Treating biofilms is difficult because of the limited ability of antibiotic agents to actually get to the bacteria. Natural antibiotics are no exception.

Fix your Back, Fix your Bladder!

In my last blog post I looked at the ‘bladder-back-connection’. ‘Fix your Back, Fix your Bladder’ is part 2, in which I’m going to look at potential causes for back problems that affect the bladder and possible solutions.

To recap on the last post, I explained how the nerves connecting the bladder to the brain pass through the spine and that an injury to the spine can lead to damage or compression of these nerves.

The result can be bladder issues such as UTIs and interstitial cystitis.

The Cystitis Diet Protocol

A body with a healthy immune system can fight off infectious organisms, including those causing cystitis. A healthy microflora is also supportive.

To keep the immune system working efficiently, our bodies need nutrients.

Therefore, it is wise to consume a diet high in fresh, nutrient-dense foods and low in nutrient-poor, calorie rich foods that deplete nutrients and weaken the immune system.

What is Cystitis (bladder infection, UTI)

What is Cystitis?

Cystitis is the medical term for a condition also known as ‘urinary tract infection’ (UTI) or simply bladder infection. Cystitis is a very common problem, especially among women: it is estimated that over half the women in Britain will suffer from it at some point in their lifetime [1].

Cystitis is one of the most common causes for attending medical consultations and its prevalence is thought to increase with age. An estimated 10-15% of women aged over 60 years have frequent bouts of cystitis [2]. Men and children can also be affected by cystitis but this is less common.
