Homeopathy remedies

I can't recommend a natural solution, but would advise you to request that your GP refer you to a urology dept asap [the delays for referrals can be long] as the symptoms of a UTI can be a sign of other conditions, especially in men.

Guys have a fantastic urology dept.


A lot of over the counter medications may contain potassium, which builds up, potentially causing other issues.


If you want something natural whilst you [hopefully] get a formal diagnosis, I find the staff at Health Matters on Lordship Lane to be very helpful and you can call first if you find it embarrassing to talk about in person.

With the greatest respect what for? It's just water and has no "memory". Sure there may be a placebo effect but that's all.

Please let us show some tolerance for the faith of others. I am happy for anyone to hold a belief that is unsupported by any rational argument or scientific proof. It is ok by me for others to believe that the efficacy of a potion containing absolutely nothing of the active agent is increased by diluting it further.


However, I would ask homeopathic practitioners to consider those not of the faith. Each time you administer a dose of less than nothing of a powerful agent to your client, you are, without my consent, giving me even less than less than nothing.

Hi Mark, sorry I just cant go along with what I see as charlatans exploiting the weak and vulnerable any more that I could accept ?spiritualist?s? exploiting people by claiming to talk to the dead. People have died taking homeopathy seriously and ignoring the NHS.

This thread isn?t the place for such a discussion so I will duck out but may in the future start a thread in the lounge.

Thoroughly agree. "Snake Oil" by John Diamond is a great read for those interested.

Sorry,

I was being a bit obscure, attempting ridicule rather then outright condemnation. Of course the practitioners are charlatans and are exploitative. At least the NHS has stopped funding homeopathy. The British Homeopathic Association took the NHS to the High Court but failed to get the funding continued.

As an occasional cystitis sufferer, I can really recommend Waterfall D-Mannose by Sweet Cures. Works far, far better than the sachets from the chemist / cranberry juice and has staved off having to get antibiotics from the Drs and stopped me having to neck nurofen if an attack feels imminent.

Horsetail is a herb known for its properties which help for urinary conditions including cystitis. Above is a link of a recent published scientific study which is looking at a medicine where horsetail is combined with two other herbs, although I have used it on its own.

I hope you are feeling better now, and found something that brings relief.

So there is no problem with selling someone water in a medicine bottle and telling them it?s a cure for the common cold?

You?re lucky, I?ve found it?s made my symptoms worse despite both my GP and Kings telling me that I should drink cranmberry juice. Latest guidelines from NICE state that its curative powers are ?inconclusive? https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/cranberry-juice-uti-urine-infections-treatment-cure-nice-health-guidelines-a8342536.html

Lavendar as Bumpkin rightly mentioned, daily taking of D-Mannose is my go to for avoiding UTI and Cystitis, along with a change in diet. Some people might equate the D-Mannose with cranberry tablets but it breaks down differently in your system (and worth noting, the sugar in cranberry juice should be avoided). I suffered consistently for 3 years straight, having a few kidney infections along the way, constantly on antibiotics and even had a GP tell me she wanted to put me on daily antibiotic course to keep from getting any more. Eventually I was so fed up I saw a physiotherapist who specialised in pelvic conditions and a nutritionist, and ultimately changed my diet to cut down on coffee, alcohol, acidic and inflammatory foods and sugar, and drank more water daily. Gluten intolerance and eating badly were basically causing general inflammation in my bowel which was having a knock on effect on my bladder. I now take the D-Mannose only when I feel run down or like one might be coming on, and I haven't had an infection in 5 years! Good luck I hope things improve soon for you

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
