“Healing Sterile Bladder Inflammation”

Right now there seems to be a lot of people coming down with sterile inflammation of the bladder and urethra. This causes all kinds of irritation and it’s very painful. Here is a simple process for healing sterile bladder inflammation.
First all it’s important to check with your doctor and have cultures done to make sure a person does not have a bacterial or yeast infection and to make sure there is nothing else going on.

Marshmallow Root - Marshmallow root powder is great for soothing away irritations of all the mucous membranes of the body. It soothes redness, pain, and swelling of mucous membranes and does an excellent job of helping with sterile inflammation of the urinary bladder and urethra. This is one of my favorite herbs, and I take it all the time even for inflamed muscles after a hard workout. Take 4 - 400 mg capsules AM and PM for 7 days.

Cornsilk Tea - Cornsilk tea is a good anti-inflammatory agent for the bladder and it’s also a good diuretic to help flush out anything that’s not needed in the bladder. Cornsilk tea has been around for thousands of years and it’s an old standby for healing inflammation and it works well. And if a person has some corn they are going to cook remember to save the cornsilk for tea. Take 3 or 4 cups of cornsilk tea daily for 7 days.

Stinging Nettle - Stinging nettle has been used for hundreds of years to soothe away irritations of the mucous membranes. If a person suffers from swollen painful mucous membranes then nettle will do the trick – works wonders for oral sores, hemorrhoids, sore throats, and inflammation of the intestines. Those suffering from inflammation of the urethra, bladder, and have kidney stones will find relief with nettle tea and capsules… it also helps to break down kidney stones. Nettle was studied in comparison with NSAID none steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and found that nettle did just as well as all the prescription drugs without the side effects.Take 2 to 4 - 300 mg capsules AM and PM for 7 days or drink 3 to 5 cups of nettle tea daily.

Boswellia - Boswellia is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory there is. Boswellia is also known as Frankincense which was given to baby Jesus by the 3 kings that came to visit at his birth. If smells wonderful and has amazing healing qualities, no wonder it’s been given as a highly prized gift down through the centuries. And boswellia works much better than all the over the counter anti-inflammatories without side effects if used in normal doses. Take 4 - 250 mg capsules AM and PM for 7 days, then take a week off and then come back to taking boswellia if needed.

Turmeric - Turmeric is one of the best anti-inflammatory herbs a person can buy. In fact, turmeric works just about as well as anti-inflammatory prescription drugs and it also helps with pain. If a person suffers from urinary tract infections and cystitis then turmeric will work great. And turmeric is great for arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease and it also works great for people who have cystic fibrosis. Turmeric is a wonderful detoxifying agent for the whole body and especially the liver. Studies show that turmeric is beneficial in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s. Take 4 - 400 mg capsules AM and PM for 7 days, then take a week off and come back to using turmeric again. But turmeric can be used for long periods of time without any health challenges, in fact, turmeric improves liver function.

Eat a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet - I’ve seen lots of people who have sterile bladder inflammation who have terrible diets. For instance, one man who had a diet of just rice and meat and constantly had urinary tract challenges. But when he went on my Whole Foods Plant Based Diet his urinary problems disappeared. Animal protein creates acid in the body and that acid creates inflammation and that inflammation creates disease, we have thousands of scientific studies showing this now. See Link to Diet -

A person may only need to take one of these herbs or 3 or 4 depending upon the person along with my Whole Foods Plant Based Diet.

Many Blessings to Everyone!
