:(
Hi, I have had ongoing bladder infections almost 2 years. I get them at least once a month, different bacteria, different antibiotics.
Has anyone else had the same problem? I don't have a catheter, have had loads of testing, followed by urologist, been extremely careful wiping, taken vitamin and different herb and homeopathic treatments.
I'm going to start a new medicine urex, and also d mannose.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you

The Antibiotic Vitamin (http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20061111/bob9.asp)

The antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin protects the urinary tract against invasive bacterial infection (http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v12/n6/abs/nm1407.html;jsessionid=5ED0CC774A90392E45A5BB5467E 81228)

Antimicrobial peptides, innate immunity, and the normally sterile urinary tract. ("http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=17942949)

Getting my Vitamin D3 status optimal stopped my repeat UTI's.
I take 5000iu/daily except on those day between April and September when I am able to get 20minutes full body sun exposure.
