Please continue Sarsparilla 30. This is safe to repeat.
Start with turmeric at night after 9pm, with a pinch (smaller pinch is better).

Hi Dr. Reva
Just an update. I have been taking Sarsparilla 30 daily plus Laxmi Turmeric Powder (small pinch after 9pm) nightly. Leukocytes are no longer showing on urinalysis sticks.
Still have nitrites.
I have been having very thick drainage into my throat from my right ear and lots of very thick post nasel drip. I have had a clogged right ear for a couple of decades at least and it cracked all the time but the crackling is now much less than it was before starting your recommended remedies.
I have had some tonsil stones come out as well. If you remember, I had chronic tonsillitis as a child, chronic ear infections as a young adult and chronic sinus infections as an adult so there is lots happening in my head with these two remedies.
UTI is still there and I have been taking Alka Seltzer Gold (does not have asprin in it) daily to keep nitrites away (one tablet disolved in water AM and PM) . This works. If I stop taking it, nitrites get very bad along with stinging/burning and lethargy with fever feeling sometimes and then it progresses so that I feel very sick.
Shall I continue with all of the above?

Please continue the same.
For the nitrites to reduce, please do this and write in 2 weeks or so.
Put one clove in a glass of water. Soak for 4 to 5 minutes and then remove the clove promptly. This is the water you should drink after lunch (when ever you drink water after food). This must be done only once a day. If you have any remaining water, please pour them in the sink and in future time, take regular water. The water may taste like a plain water (since the clover was soaking only for 5 minutes). that is ok.
After starting this, if you find any difference, please write.

Hi Dr. Reva
I had a urinalysis done on April 12 to see what's what. These are my results. High Leukocytes. No nitrites. If I should change anything in my protocol, please let me know.

seems the photo did not upload. I don't eat a lot of carbs so that is why there are ketones in urine.

Can you please compare these reading (leukocyte and ketones) with one before cloves and before you started Sarsaparilla.
Please provide the three reading.

I can't unfortunately. Each time I took in a sample it was declared "contaminated" which is very frustrating. This is the first test in a year that they were able to do.
Juniorcat 5 years ago
Sure
For nitrites, are you still taking the pills.
What different did you noticed since you started cloves.
What symptoms do you have now.

Yes I am still taking the sarsaparilla 30c daily in the morning and the Laxmi Turmeric Powder after 9PM . I started the cloves less than 1 wk ago so the test was done before I started clove.
Since starting the clove, I have noticed a slight flare up of burning sensation in the bladder and sometimes there is burning when urinating. Yesterday my bladder was flared up (burning sensation). Today so far seems fine but I will let you know if it flares up after lunch today.
I am still taking alka seltzer gold (1 tablet AM and 1 tablet PM) but last night I took 2 tablets PM because of the burning bladder. The alka seltzer helped with that.
I am still having post nasal drip with very thick mucus and tonsil stones as well. My sinuses feel clearer and I think this is the clearest they have felt in decades. Crackling ear is still there but I suspect that will eventually clear up.
I might be able to find an old urinalysis from 3-4 years ago which showed ecoli if you would like to see that. I had many done at that time and the ecoli would mutate and become resistant to antibiotics so I would have another test and they would prescribe a different antibiotic and then it would become resistant to that one so i would do another test and it would come back resistant again, and show as being susceptible to the antibiotic I was on before the change. It was such a roller coaster ride and no one seemed interested in the fact that it kept mutating back and forth.

I had just gone through this - sinus infection, 2 UTI's then another sinus infection. Unfortunately, homeo did not work for me - I'm sometimes a prover, and it made it worse.
What I learned: D-mannose to prevent UTI's (it attaches to E-coli) and probiotics - one in particular Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1. What a lot of women don't know is that e-coli can colonize in the vagina too, so probiotics are essential for vaginal health.
I hate antibiotics, but it's a thin line between trying to treat naturally, and ending up with an infection in your kidney, which is pretty dangerous. I was on macrobid - which does not affect your good gut bacteria and e-coli based UTI's do not develop bacterial resistance to usually. I followed up after with D-Mannose daily for a few weeks, and now take it once a week, or before having sex. D-Mannose is the same thing that is in cranberry juice (but not concentrated enough in the juice to have a strong effect).
Also, the sinus infection - netti pot with xylitol & a drop of baby shampoo. My ENT cosigned this. Bacteria, viruses and fungal can develop biofilms - this breaks them down. Biofilms are a tough mucus protecting the "intruder". The dark gunk wasn't coming out of my nose until I added those ingredients...not even with the antibiotics. Add salt & baking soda to buffer PH in the netti...it will be less irritating. You can take NAC & boron to break down biofilms too but should be on antibiotics while doing so (so you actually have something killing the unleashed bactera).

yes I have tried everything you mention and none of it worked. What I am doing now is giving better results than anything I have done so far.
Juniorcat 5 years ago
Curious as to where you are getting tests done?
When I have had a u t I, either going to dr or
Urgent care, you must give sample as a clean
Catch. I wait and they tell me if it is ok or contaminated.
If contaminated, I have to give another sample until
It is right. They can tell you the basic results then and then send the sample to the lab to get more detail( like type of
Bacteria present) which takes a few days.

I'm in Canada. If you hand in a sample they send it off somewhere and if comes back contaminated too bad for you. You have to go back to the doctor and get another requisition. Its a pain in the butt.

I stopped the clove and yesterday and today nitrites are back on my urinalysis sticks. I have some urgencey, some burning, and urine feels hot. I have emailed my doctor to see if he will give me a requisition for another urinalysis. I hope he does. He is getting frustrated with me.
