CranBarrier (Please read our disclaimer) According to the CDC, in 2011 kidney diseases were the ninth leading cause of death in the United States. Our chances of having chronic kidney disease increase as we age. The Melaleuca Wellness Guide tells us that nearly one in five women will get a urinary tract infection during their lives, and of those, twenty percent will have reoccurrences. Urinary tract infections can be especially dangerous for seniors and pregnant women, as well as for those with diabetes. Symptoms of a UTI include a frequent urge to urinate, and pain or burning during urination. There may also be abdominal and or back pain. Urine may look milky or cloudy, and sometimes only a small amount can be passed. Most commonly UTIs are caused by E. coli bacteria invading the lower end of the urinary tract. Hygiene is an important aspect for treating and preventing UTIs. Special care when showering and washing, and choosing looser underwear can make a difference in avoiding the transfer of infection-causing bacteria. The Melaleuca Wellness Guide recommends adding 1 ounce of Sol-U-Mel to the rinse water of the washing cycle when laundering undergarments. Use the EcoSense Laundry System to avoid harsh chemicals. The Melaleuca Wellness Guide also recommends taking CranBarrier Urinary Tract Support daily to prevent urinary tract infections. CranBarrier is unique in that it contains cranberry, blueberry, and uva ursi (bearberries) extracts. Uva ursi has a long history of being used for urinary tract infections. The uva ursi berries help reduce inflammation and edema in the urinary tract. Two tasty, chewable, tablets of CranBarrier contain 1000mg of cranberry extract. This is the amount that is found in ten ounces of pure undiluted cranberry juice. It would take up to 32 ounces of diluted, sweetened, juice drink (cocktail), to take in the recommended 1000mg of cranberry extract. Probiotics can also aid in the fight against infection-causing bacteria. Since the good bacteria, lactobacillus, dominates the urogenital flora of healthy premenopausal women, it follows that taking probiotics would be helpful in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections. A review of several studies found evidence that probiotics can be beneficial for preventing recurrent UTIs in women. Prevention of urinary tract infections is the goal. Take CranBarrier Urinary Tract Support, along with Vitality 4 Essentials which include supplements that supply daily nutrition, essential bone support, broad-spectrum antioxidants, and the probiotic, Florify.
