My 70 year old mother is currently very sick. She got a urinary tract infection a few days ago (which is fairly common for her), but this one seems to have more staying power than usual. In addition, she is having a bad bout of high blood pressure and hasn't been able to fall asleep for more than 2 hours a day for the past 4 days, as well as nausea and fatigue. She also has a bad flare-up of Candida Albicans (which she has struggled with for decades). She can currently barely eat (all she can tolerate is boiled eggs). She can't talk loudly, and can't move much.
Worse yet, the "medicines" the doctor gave her made her worse (it turns out that they have side effects that can affect the nervous system, and she already doesn't have a good nervous system). She didn't figure this out until she had already taken them. It's a perfect storm of multiple problems at once. I've never seen her like this before.
She went to the hospital, but they wouldn't keep her because they said they don't keep anyone who can walk (even though she was having to grip objects to walk and was shaking).
She said that in her current weakened state, her body can't even process additives in natural supplements (such as fillers in herb capsules), so she can only take supplements that are pure without fillers, additives, etc.
She compiled a list of supplements to order for her, but her handwriting is so bad that I can't make most of them out (I was able to decipher curcumin, oregano oil, and hawthorn berry), and she can't talk well enough to help me figure out the rest.
Does anyone have any advice? And can you please pray for her to heal?
I’m unfamiliar with these properties. Is D-Mannose a natural element in horsetail, by chance?
No, without doing any refresher research, I believe D-Mannose is a sugar that somehow keeps bacteria from being able to adhere to the wall of the bladder or urethra. Maybe why cranberry works ?? The ingredient in horsetail that prevents uti's is silica. Silica is great for many things and you can also get it in Volvic water (from France) and Fiji water.
Thanks for talking the time to reply! Cheers fren.
I’ve been fighting a losing battle with horsetail in my yard, Praise the Lord I never won! And never went chemical. On to foraging!
