Urinary Bladder Infections (UTIs): Over-Catherizations
Catheters: An Increased UTI Risk
Over-catherization has become a major medical problem. This website is intended to
allow you - a bladder infection sufferer - to become an informed patient who can manage
his or her own care, ask the right questions, insist on adequate management and information,
and seek an optimal outcome for himself or herself.
Perhaps it will even help the health professionals who are
giving care - urologists, gynecologists - to better understand and,
hopefully, incorporate into their practice the natural approach to
urinary tract infection (UTI) - its prevention and safe, drug-free treatment.
Nearly 1 out of every 3 patients undergoing catheterization
doesn't need it!
In addition, once inserted, the devices often remain too long because
doctors either forget or don't know they are there.
That much of this over-catheterization may be due to the fact
that it makes the jobs of hospital staff easier.
Prolonged catheter use can lead to
- painful urinary tract infections (UTIs) and
- longer hospital stays.
25 percent of all hospitalized patients will receive a catheter at some
point in their stay. And almost 30 percent of the time, doctors will
forget or never know which of their patients still have a catheter
inserted.
Catheters are considered necessary when a patient is
- bed-ridden
- incontinent or unable to control urine flow
- in post-operative recovery.
Other cases include:
- a bladder obstruction such as an enlarged prostrate (BPH), or
- the need to observe the urine levels.
Silver Alloy Catheters
Every day a catheter is left in, a patient has a 5 percent chance of
developing a urinary tract infection (UTI), as bacteria from the
patient's genital area migrate up the outside of the catheter and
infect the otherwise sterile bladder. Occasionally, this infection
spreads to the bloodstream.
The incidence of UTIs is reduced, however, if silver alloy catheters
are used.
Usually treated with antibiotics, these infections have the potential
to lengthen hospital stays and cause more serious side effects that
can be life threatening.
Do I Still Need the Catheter?
Researchers are calling for a mandatory "stop-order" on all hospital
catheterizations after 48 hours, with a daily review thereafter.
Patients or their family members should simply keep asking the doctor
every day: "Do I still need the catheter?"
Even doctors admit that patients should become more proactive and
"engaged" with health-care professionals about what is being done to
them.
Definitely, catheters can be monitored by patiens without trusting the
nurses or doctors to watch this. Catheter are one simple thing that oftern
leads to an increased risk of complications secondary to the hospital stay.
D-Mannose for Prevention of Catheter-Induced UTIs
D-mannose, a simple sugar and close cousin of glucose, can prevent
and cure more than 90 percent of all bladder infections within 1 to 2 days in
catheterized non-catheterized patients.
Even more remarkably, D-mannose accomplishes this feat without
killing a single bacterium! (Exactly how does this it will be explained later).
Suffice it to say that, because it gets rid of bladder infection-causing bacteria
without committing "bactericide," people who use it suffer none of the unwanted
side effects usually associated with antibiotics:
- no gastrointestinal (GI) problems,
- no yeast infections, and
- no antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
In fact, D-mannose has no adverse side effects of any kind.
It Tastes Good!
As a bonus, D-mannose actually tastes good. Where a "spoonful of
sugar" helped the medicine go down in Mary Poppin's day, with
D-mannose, a spoonful of sugar IS the medicine.
As Effective As Antibiotics
Although D-mannose is virtually unknown to practitioners of
conventional medicine, many research reports have demonstrated its mode
of action and effectiveness against E. coli, the microorganism that
causes most urinary bladder infections.
Moreover, several years of clinical experience have shown that it is
just about as effective at curing bladder infections as antibiotic
drugs.
Too Good to Be True?
At first glance, D-mannose may sound too good to be true: a
"medicine" that's highly effective, perfectly safe, pleasant to use,
inexpensive, and available without a doctor's prescription.
Yet, it is true!
Unlike virtually any conventional medication, and many natural or
"alternative" treatments as well, D-mannose has no known drawbacks.
E. Coli Bacterial Infections
Bladder infection is a bacterial infection (caused by the bacteria E.
coli over 90 percent of the time) that affects the inside lining tissue
of the urinary system (or tract).
The urinary tract reacts to a bacterial infection in much the same way
that the upper respiratory system reacts to a cold virus. The tissues
become:
- inflamed,
- irritated, and
- swollen.
Swollen and inflamed urinary ducts can partially obstruct normal flow,
making it painful and difficult to pass urine.
Built-In Safeguards
Ordinarily, the urinary system is hostile territory for bacteria, viruses, or any
other microorganisms (detrimental bacteria).
Bugs that do make their way into a healthy urinary tract are likely to
find an inhospitable acidic environment (pH <5.5).
Bugs are also subject to attack by the body's immune defenses. (Adult
men have the added protection of a specific bacterial growth inhibitor
squirted directly into the urinary system by their prostate gland.)
Even if harmful microorganisms manage to overcome these considerable
obstacles, they would typically be flushed out with the normal flow of urine.
So effective are these natural antibacterial defenses that in a study in
which bacteria were instilled directly into the bladders of guinea
pigs, simple urination expelled 99.9 percent of the detrimental bugs.
Despite all these built-in safeguards; each year millions of people,
overwhelmingly women, still develop urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Infection of the Urethra: Urethritis
Most bladder infections begin when bacteria originating in the bowels
travel to and grow in the urethra. Infections limited to the urethra
are known as "urethritis."
Infection of the Bladder: Cystitis
When bacteria travel upstream to the bladder, the infection is called
"cystitis."
Infection of the Kidneys: Nephritis
Infections that reach the kidneys are known as "nephritis" or
"pyelonephritis."
The E. coli that cause most bladder infections are among the most
common friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where they
aid digestion, produce a few vitamins, and in general, behave
themselves without bothering us.
E. coli: Potentially Pathogenic Bacteria
However, when E. coli and other bugs exit the lower GI tract, they may
gain entry to the urinary tract via the urethra, where they may attach
to the internal lining of the bladder, multiply, and spread.
Other Pathogenic Bacteria
Although up to 90 percent of bladder infections are caused by E. coli,
the remaining 10 percent are caused by other detrimental bacteria, such as
- Chlamydia
- Mycoplasma
- Neisseria gonorrhea
- and others.
Unlike E. coli, these harmful bugs tend to be transmitted via sexual
contact and rarely cause the more serious bladder and kidney infections.
PLEASE NOTE: Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and N. gonorrhea infections do not
respond to D-mannose treatment and and will probably require
antibiotic treatment.
Non-E. Coli Bladder Infections
In addition, a few bladder infections are caused by other bacteria,
such as Proteus or Staphylococcus ("Staph"). In this case, a powerful
and effective antibacterial agent can be used against these pathogenic
microorganisms, namely Pure Essential Oil of Wild Oregano. As a
matter of fact, Oregano itself is also effective against E. Coli.
Still, all of these non-E. coli infections combined amount to no more than 10 percent of all bladder infections.
Uribiotic Formula: A Broad-Spectrum Herbal Antibiotic
Over the years, at Full of Health, we have learned that urinary tract and/or prostate infections can be
addressed naturally. With the help of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herbs, nutrients and phytonutrients, it is possible to get through both acute and chronic infections by:
- disinfecting the urinary tract (an antimicrobial action)
- inhibiting and preventing inflammation
- enhancing the growth of some forms of beneficial bacteria within the body such as Bifidobacteria bifidus and Lactobacillus acidophilus
- destroying some forms of detrimental fungi such as Candida albicans and Candida krusei.
By preventing bacterial cell division and breaking down the walls and cytoplasm of bacteria (in a similar fashion to some types of pharmaceutical antibiotics), Uribiotic Formula helps to inhibit the growth (or kill) many types of detrimental pathogenic bacteria including:
- Actinomyces naeslundii
- Bacillus anthracis (on the basis of its known ability to kill other species of Bacillus)
- Bacillus alvert
- Bacillus cereus
- Bacillus subtilis
- Brucella abortus
- Campylobacter jejuni
- Chlamydia pneumoniae
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Clostridium species ( botulinum, tetani)
- Cornybacterium diphtheriae
- Enterococcus species (faecalis)
- Eschericia coli (E. coli)
- Helicobacter pylori
- Haemophilus influenzae
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Legionella pneumoniae
- Listeria monocytogenes
- Moraxella catarrhalis
- Mycobacterium smegmatis
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Neisseria memingitidis
- Pasteurella septica
- Pneumocystis carinii
- Propionibacterium acnes
- Proteus mirabilis
- Proteus vulgaris
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa*
- Pseudomonas cepacia
- Salmonella enteridis
- Salmonella enteritidis
- Salmonella choleraesuis
- Salmonella paratyphi A
- Salmonella typhimurium
- Serratia marcescens
- Shigella dysenteriae
- Shigella flexneri
- Shigella sonnei
- Staphylococcus aureus (responsible for "Golden Staph")**
- Streptococcus faecalis
- Streptococcus mutans (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus)
- Streptococcus pneumoniae (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus)
- Streptococcus pyogenes (beta-hemolytic Streptococcus), also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS)
- Streptococcus sanguis (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus)
- Streptococcus viridans (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus)
- Streptomyces species
- Treponema pallidum
- Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE)
* PLEASE NOTE: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium found in soil, water, skin flora and most man-made environments. An opportunistic pathogen of immunocompromised individuals vulnerable to infections, it typically infects the pulmonary tract, urinary tract, burns, wounds, and also causes other blood infections.
P. aeruginosa is the third leading cause of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections, accounting for approximately 12 percent of all infections of this type. They are usually related to urinary tract catheterization, instrumentation or surgery.
It is a common cause of post-operative infection in radial keratotomy (RK) eye surgery patients and of "hot-tub rash" (dermatitis), caused by lack of proper periodic attention to water quality.
P. aeruginosa appears to be among the most adherent of common urinary pathogens to the bladder uroepithelium. An infection can occur via an ascending or descending route.
P. aeruginosa can also invade the bloodstream from the urinary tract. This route is the source of approximately 40 percent of P. aeruginosa infections.
P. aeruginosa can cause chronic opportunistic infections. These kinds of infections are a serious problem for medical care. Many patients, immunocompromised and the elderly in particular, often cannot be treated effectively with traditional antibiotic therapy.
As a highly relevant opportunistic pathogen, P. aeruginosa has low antibiotic susceptibility. It is naturally resistant to a large range of antibiotics and may demonstrate additional resistance after unsuccessful treatment.
Therefore, choosing an antibiotic should be guided according to laboratory sensitivities, rather than empirically. However, if antibiotics are started empirically - with some exceptions, given by injection only - then cultures should be obtained and, after having the culture results available, the choice of an antibiotic used should be carefully reviewed.

Uribiotic Formula: An Immune Booster
An immune-boosting Uribiotic Formula helps to increase the natural safeguards - bodily defense systems that protect the urinary tract against pathogenic, infection-causing bacteria, such as:
- the flow of urine which functions as an antiseptic, helping to wash potentially harmful bacteria out of the body during normal urination. (Urine is normally sterile, that is, free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi!)
- the ureters (muscular ducts that propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder) and the bladder
- the immune defenses and antibacterial substances in the mucous lining of the bladder
- the bladder lining cells that, literally, sacrifice themselves and self-destruct to fight off detrimental bacteria (a process called apoptosis). In so doing, they fall away from the lining, carrying the bacteria with them. This process, suggested by some interesting research, eliminates about 90% of the E. coli
- the vagina which is colonized - in normal fertile women - by lactobacilli, beneficial micro-organisms that maintain a highly acidic environment (low pH). Lactobacilli also produce hydrogen peroxide, which helps eliminate bacteria and reduces the ability of E. coli to adhere to vaginal cells
- the so-called human beta-defensin-1 (HBD-1) which fights E. coli within the female urinary and reproductive tracts -.a possible natural antibiotic identified by some researchers
- the antibacterial actions of some secretions of the prostate gland probably for why men are less likely than women to develop urinary tract infection.

Uribiotic Formula: Health Benefits Summary
It is so embarrassing having consult your doctor for the same reason (another infection!) and need to take another round of antibiotics.
The truth is, however, that urinatry tract and/or prostate infections CAN be successully remedied and prevented without multiple rounds of prescription medications (antibiotics).
Health benefits of our proprietary Uribiotic Formula - a synergistic blend of 45 nutrients, phytonutrients (plant nutrients) and herbs thoroughly researched and put to the test - include:
- anti-inflammatory

- safely
- effectively, and
- with no side effects.
* QUALITY & SAFETY ASSURANCE: Uribiotic Formula is manufactured in accordance with cGMPs for Nutritional Supplements in accordance with USP 31. The laboratories are ISO 9001:1994 certified and ISO 17025:2005 accredited. Raw materials used in the manufacturing of this product are in full compliance with the Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002.

Cautions and Contraindications
Sexual System:
Uribiotic Formula should not be consumed during pregnancy as it can cause contractions of the uterus due to presence of Goldenseal, Vinpocetine and hydroquinone (via arbutin present in Uva Ursi/Bearberry).
Cardiovascular System:
Uribiotic Formula should be consumed with caution by patients with severe hypertension (high blood pressure) due to the presence of Nettle root as it may further raise blood pressure in some people. However, Olive Leaf Extract, Rutin and Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) present in the Uribiotic Formula may actually help lower blood pressure in hypertension patients.
Pharmaceutical Drugs:
Uribiotic Formula should be consumed with caution by patients on high dose of warfarin (blood thinner) due to the presence of garlic which may potentiate the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. (Reference: Fugh-Berman, A. Herb-drug interactions. Lancet. 355(9198):134-138, 2000).
PLEASE NOTE: When acute nephritis (kidney infection) is present - accompanied by high fever along with sudden retention of urine (a painful urge to pass urine but the inability to do so) - have your condition assessed immediately by your physician.
Do Not Stop!
Although symptoms-free, please do NOT stop taking the Uribiotic Formula and continue to use it until the botle is empty (up to 10 days).
If you are prone to repeated (chronic) urinary tract and/or prostate infections, for the first few months, keep an extra bottle of the Uribiotic Formula on hand, and use it
immediately at the first signs of infection for the minimum of three (3) consecutive days.
In time, however, you will notice that the frequency of your urinary tract and/or prostate infections begins to seize, making the further use of the Uribiotic Formula - with some possible exceptions - unnecessary or occasional only.
Simple and Astonishingly Effective
Our proprietary Uribiotic Formula is so simple and astonishingly effective that it continues to amaze even the most skeptical people.
For this reason, we have decided to go worldwide and share our experience with the public on the Internet to help people around the world to remedy bladder, prostate or even kidney infection.
So far, we have introduced our proprietary Uribiotic Formula to our clients and customers in 27 countries: the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Mexico, Italy, Singapore, France, Russia, Croatia, Poland, Portugal, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, St. Lucia (West Indies), Norway, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Slovenia, Greece, Qatar, Jordan and Israel.
With no doubt this superb supplement can be of great benefit to you. You have nothing to lose - and lots to gain. And if necessary, it can be a part of a combined antibiotic therapy as Uribiotic Formula may even enhance the effectiveness of standard pharmaceutical antibiotics for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially in case of Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Therapeutic and Preventive Intake: Directions
|
With possible variations from person to person, the suggested intake of the Uribiotic Formula - depending on the diagnosis, degree of UTI, sex, age and other existing health conditions - can be described as follows:
I. Acute UTI:
In case of first signs of discomfort (slight burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination and/or inability
to empty bladder completely) you need to take:
-
3 capsules 3 times daily; therefore, for full benefits, at least 1 bottle of the Uribiotic Formula is needed (an initial 10-day therapeutic intake).
In case persistent signs of UTI (painful burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination at night and/or inability to empty bladder completely) you need to take:
-
3 capsules 3 times daily; therefore, for full benefits, 2 bottles of the Uribiotic Formula are needed (an extended 20-day therapeutic and prophylactic intake).
II. Chronic/Repeated UTI:
In case of recurrent, repeated UTIs (all the above symptoms along with the need and dependence on antibiotics) it is necessary to take:
-
3 capsules 3 times daily; therefore, for full benefits, 3 bottles of the Uribiotic Formula are needed (an intensive 30-day therapeutic and prophylactic intake)
DIRECTIONS: Take the capsules throughout the day in between meals (on an empty stomach), preferably before 6 pm, each time with ½ glass of purified lukewarm water.
PLEASE NOTE: After all symptoms have disappeared, in order to restore the urinary tract’s normal pH and, thus, prevent recurring UTIs, taking one (1) capsule of the Uribiotic Formula three (3) times daily for at least ten (10) consecutive days is highly recommended.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION: In order to fully exert the therapeutic, protective and preventive (prophylactic) effects of the Uribiotic Formula, it might be taken along with probiotics, especially Probiotic LGG Plus.
CAUTIONS: Uribiotic Formula should not be used by pregnant women. Also patients with severe hypertension (high blood pressure) should take it with caution. However, Olive Leaf Extract, Rutin and Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) present in the Uribiotic Formula may actually help lower blood pressure in hypertension patients). It should also be taken with caution by patients on high dose of warfarin (blood thinner) due to the presence of garlic which may potentiate the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. (Reference: Fugh-Berman, A. Herb-drug interactions. Lancet. 355(9198):134-138, 2000).
PLEASE NOTE: When acute nephritis (kidney infection) is present - accompanied by high fever along with sudden retention of urine (a painful urge to pass urine but the inability to do so) - have your condition assessed immediately by your physician.
ATTENTION: Male Adults with BPH: Although we have found the Uribiotic Formula effective in both women and men, the latter - besides bladder infections - quite offten suffer from undiagnosed prostate infection (prostatitis) and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous swelling of the prostate gland.
If this is a case, for full benefits we recommend taking the Uribiotic Formula along with an exceptional supplement: European DP Extract.
