For ages, folk wisdom has held that cranberry juice helps relieve urinary tract infections (UTIs), and there is a great deal of research to support this. Cranberries contain compounds called proanthocyanidins that may be responsible for the fruit's and the fruit juice's positive effects on urinary tract infections. According to a study by Amy Howell, Ph.D., research scientist at the Marucci Center for Blueberry Cranberry Research at Rutgers University, and Jess Reed, Ph.D. |

In 1999, UTIs accounted for more than q

What are urinary tract infections? They are serious health problems that start when bacteria attach to the outside of your urinary tract. They can spread up the urethra, the tube to your bladder, and reach your kidneys.
Who gets them? Women are most at risk. One out of five women suffers one in her lifetime. A kidney stone, an enlarged prostate, and diabetes increase your risk.
What are the symptoms? |

Menopausal Symptoms
The transition to menopause usually begins sometime in a woman's 40s. | | For uncomplicated urinary tract infections, especially those following sexual intercourse, culture and sensitivity testing are not mandatory, and any antibiotic except penicillin will likely be effective. (Most gram-negative bacterial isolates are resistant to penicillin.) The most commonly used agents are nitrofurantoin macrocrystals (100 mg twice a day), trimepthoprim-sulfamethoxazole double-strength (twice a day), or a fluoroquinolone such as ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice a day). |

In another study, 500 ml per day (17 ounces) of cranberry juice was shown to be helpful in 73 percent of the individuals with active UTIs. |

Cranberries are rich in bioflavonoids and natural vitamin C which stimulate the immune system and ward off infection. Just eating cranberries during the wintertime can prevent colds and the flu. In addition, cranberries can reduce the occurrence of kidney stones. | | These problems include urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, kidney cancer, polycystic kidney disease (PKD), nephrotic syndrome and genetic disorders. The kidneys make a tremendous effort in their attempts to keep the blood clear of toxic substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury and other heavy metals (although these are difficult to pass). The kidneys also maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and regulate the pressure that the heart creates to force the blood through their filtering system. | | Balanced populations of the friendly, probiotic bacteria in the gut effectively prevent vaginal and urinary tract infections. They also discourage tumors, particularly cancerous growths in the colon, either by emitting protective chemicals or by inhibiting the production of compounds that nurture cancers. A diminished population of probiotic bacteria, as caused for example by antibiotics, alcohol or junk foods exposes the gastrointestinal lining numerous toxins. This leads to an overstimulated immune system and, thereby, causes asthma, allergies and eczema. | | Progestogens can also cause abnormally high calcium levels in the blood, alter its sugar and insulin concentrations, increase the severity of migraines, and lead to gallbladder disease, liver cancer and urinary tract infections.
Yet many doctors still prescribe HRT routinely as a preventive to avoid discomfort during menopause, wrongly assuming that every menopausal woman will also suffer from discomfort. Hormones are even sold as rejuvenatory drugs and prescribed for circulatory problems. |

However, both these conditions are rare. Complications from the surgery itself happen in about one of every two hundred cases, and these are usually minor. Using our criteria of mortality and morbidity, it is difficult to warrant circumcisions. Justifications for the procedure are obviously cultural and religious.44
