Bedwetting

July 29, 2010

When a child wets the bed during sleep, it’s very often due to the same reason some adults wake up two or three times a night having to go to the bathroom … adrenal fatigue. The adrenals help to regulate the body’s balance of fluids. But bedwetting can also be due to fear, hypoglycemia, mineral imbalances, or kidney and/or bladder weakness.

To build the adrenals and regulate blood sugar, Licorice Root or HY-A are very helpful. Also, a protein bedtime snack of cottage cheese, a couple of ounces of peanut butter, or beef jerky may help. Collatrim taken at bedtime will have the same effect.

If mineral imbalances are contributing to the problem, Magnesium deficiency in particular could be the root cause.

Herbs such as JP-X, Juniper Berries, Kidney Activator, Marshmallow, Parsley, and Uva Ursi are used often to encourage urination during the day.

Another cause can be a lack of tone in the sphincter of the bladder. If this is the case, Uva Ursi taken as a tea can be helpful.

For adults, see Incontenance

Other supplements that are helpful in eliminating bedwetting are: Adrenal Support, Black Cohosh, Chromium GTF, Cornsilk, Cranberry & Buchu, Eleuthero, Free Amino Acids, Green Tea Extract, Herbal CA, Kava Kava, Kidney Drainage, Master Gland, Pro-Pancreas, Red Raspberry, St. John’s Wort, Super Algae, Urinary Maintenance, White Oak Bark

Bladder Problems (see also Cancer: Bladder, Cystitis)

July 29, 2010

Bladder Infections

Your bladder can become infected easily (especially if you’re a woman), from bacteria in the feces. It’s even easier if the microflora of your intestinal tract has been compromised from using antibiotics, birth control pills and other medications. See Fungal Infections for more information. Bacteria invading the bladder can result in pain, itching, burning urination, and a frequent feeling of urgency to void.

Bladder infections can be prevented with unsweetened cranberry juice, or Cranberry/Buchu Concentrate. If there is an active infection, the cranberry is less effective, but there are other herbs that are great for treating acute bladder infections. These include Goldenseal, JP-X (do not use if kidney inflammation is present), Uva Ursi (taken as a tea), and Ultimate Echinacea.

A pH imbalance in the body will also make a person more likely to get a bladder infection.

In addition to the supplements mentioned above, here are some others that can help to eliminate a bladder infection:

Silver Shield, Golden Seal, Golden Seal/Parthenium, KB-C, Olive Leaf, Parthenium, Urinary Maintenance, Vitamin C, White Oak Bark

Bladder (Irritable)

When your bladder is “irritable’ there is a constant urge to urinate, even though the bladder is practically empty. Dehydradration and/or inflammation can cause this. Some supplements that help with this issue are:

Cornsilk, False Unicorn, Kidney Drainage, Lymphatic Drainage, Marshmallow

Bladder Problems (general)

For general bladder problems such as inflammation and irritation, dribbling (incontinence), bladder stones, and others, the following supplements are very helpful:

Bayberry, Collatrim, Cornsilk, Green Tea, Hydrangea -stones, IGF-1, Kidney Drainage, Olive Leaf Extract - infection, Parsley -stones, mucus, Pro-Pancreas, Red Raspberry

Bladder (ulcerated)

Uva Ursi, White Oak Bark -weakness

Belching (Burping)

July 29, 2010

Poor digestion can result in gas bubbles being expelled through the esophagus and mouth. Improving digestion function with enzymes such as Proatazyme, Food Enzymes, Papaya Mint, and formulas such Anti-Gas (Chinese) or Anti-Gas Formula can be very helpful in eliminating belching. When belching produces a foul odor, like rotten eggs, proteins are not being properly digested. Protease Plus helps with this.

Other products that can help are Catnip & Fennel, Clove Bud, Gastro Health, Kudzu/St. John’s Wort, Mandarin, PDA, Papaya Mints, Peppermint, Yeast & Fungal Detox

Atherosclerosis (aka Arteriosclerosis)
