Health: New Treatment for UTIs and Bladder Infections

Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.

York-based company Sweet Cures is achieving a high level of success with their own health product, Waterfall D-Mannose, a natural extract from Larch wood that they claim cures and prevents E.coli-based bladder infections and UTIs. E.coli is the primary cause of such infections.

York, UK (PRWEB) April 28, 2004 -- Around half of all women and 10% of men will at some time in their lives suffer from at least one urinary tract or bladder infection, and until now the only real cure was a course of antibiotics, with the yeast infections and other side-effects that followed.

York-based company Sweet Cures is aiming to change all that, with their own health product, Waterfall D-Mannose, a natural extract from Larch wood that they claim cures and prevents bladder infections and UTIs.

Around 90% of UTIs are E.coli-based, and the cell walls of E.coli are covered with minute molecular projections (lectins) that stick like velcro to the mannose receptors in the bladder and urinary tract walls, making it very difficult to rinse them away by urination. The molecular structure of Waterfall D-Mannose makes it work like the other half of the velcro. The E.coli is bio-chemically attracted to the free mannose in the urine, filling up all it's mannose receptors, allowing itself to be flushed out with normal urination.

With increasingly resistant E.coli strains appearing, and increased public awareness of the dangers of taking antibiotics Sweet Cures has already established a market for the product. Since starting their company just over six months ago they have verified the efficiency with which Waterfall D-Mannose cures and prevents UTIs, and they have exported the suger isomer all over the world.

So far, not many doctors have come on board, although they do have one Harley Street specialist who recommends their product, but they would like to attract more.

"It's a cause we are very interested in," said Anna Sawkins, "Doctors do a wonderful job, but they naturally recommend and prescribe the standard allopathic treatments for UTIs. However, in the long term these can do more harm than good and doctors are always aware that they are fighting bugs that constantly mutate to develop resistance. Plus, the fluoroquinolene-based antibiotics used for resistant infections can have particularly damaging and cumulative side effects such as fluorine poisoning. So doctors get their patients coming back with arthritis-like symptoms or digestive problems, and they don't always get the chance to put two and two together to see that an antibiotic has caused the symptoms. We'd just like doctors to consider the non-toxic option that we are making available."

John Bremner agrees with these sentiments. "People don't usually come to us until they have tried the medical treatments and antibiotics have failed them. We've had some really sad cases. One woman had persistent bladder infections and pain for forty years until she tried our product. A four year old girl had been on antibiotics for over a year until she took Waterfall D-Mannose, and was getting severe kidney problems. A man who had tried everything else was contemplating giving up work until he found our product. So it's our mission and our passion to help people with this problem."
