Did you know that urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect 12% of men and at least 60% of women? UTIs can be frustrating, disruptive, and even debilitating, impacting daily life and causing constant discomfort. But here's the good news: there are effective strategies you can take to combat UTIs and reduce their recurrence! Registered Nurse, Sage talks about the potential of cranberry supplementation. Research suggests that cranberry extracts containing D-mannose and proanthocyanidin can help prevent E. coli bacteria from attaching to the urethral tract, reducing the risk of infection. Discover more insights and practical advice to take charge of your urinary health.

Eosinophils (pronounced ee-oh-sin-oh-fills) are a type of white blood cell that have a role in immune system responses to medical conditions such as infections, inflammation, and allergies, to name a few. If a person has too many eosinophils without another known cause, it may be because of an eosinophil-associated disease (EAD). The diagnosis depends on where in the body the eosinophils are found, including the gastrointestinal tract, blood, bladder, connective tissue, and lungs. In eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs), the eosinophils are found in increased numbers in the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms may include trouble swallowing, food getting stuck in the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach or chest pain, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. The most known type of EGID is eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE), with the estimated prevalence being 1 in 1,000 people. It is a common cause of food impaction, often requiring emergency medical attention. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of an EGID is often delayed and an endoscopy with biopsies is the only way to confirm the diagnosis. Eosinophil-associated diseases are chronic conditions that require ongoing medical care. The symptoms and day-to-day management of these conditions may significantly impact quality of life. The conditions affect both adults and children. Find out more about EGIDs on our website: https://lnkd.in/gWMsz4G If you think you might have an EGID, please reach out to your doctor and ask… Could it be an EGID? #NEOSW2023 #EOSaware #CouldItBeEoE #CouldItBeAnEGID

Could parasitic infections hold the solution to managing Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Recent research explores the fascinating link between high parasitic infection rates and lower MS cases, suggesting that these microorganisms might regulate the immune system. 🦠 In a groundbreaking 2020 study, researchers investigated whether hookworm (Necator americanus) infection could benefit MS patients. The clinical trial involved 71 individuals with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). Surprisingly, those treated with hookworms showed reduced new lesions and increased regulatory T-cells, vital for controlling the immune system. If the idea of parasitic infection isn't appealing, fear not—there are safe and effective natural methods to manage MS and autoimmunity. 🌿 My journey with MS led me to discover the power of medicinal mushrooms, including Reishi, Turkey Tail, Lion's Mane, and Cordyceps. These mushrooms have played a pivotal role in maintaining my health for over two decades. 🍄Reishi: Supports quality sleep, reduces inflammation, and combats stress-related effects. 🍄Turkey Tail: Aids leaky gut healing, reduces fatigue, and calms inflammation. 🍄Lion's Mane: Offers anti-inflammatory benefits, boosts cognitive function, and repairs nerve cells. 🍄Cordyceps: Improves memory, reduces oxidative damage, and supports cognitive function. Leaky gut, often linked to autoimmune conditions, can worsen symptoms. My Balanced Gut Blend soothes and supports the gut lining, reducing inflammation and regulating the immune system. :-) For more insights on how parasites could be the key to treating MS and alternative methods for MS management, check out my blog: https://buff.ly/3MSBrmU #aloneshow #nicoleapelian #naturalwellness #wellbeing #selfhealing #herbalmedicine #naturalmedicine #naturesmedicine #nicolesapothecary #herbalremedies #MSresearch #parasites #autoimmunity #immuneregulation #hookworms #naturalmethods #medicinalmushrooms #reishi #turkeytail #lionsmane #cordyceps #leakygut #guthealth #autoimmunedisorders #alternativeMSmanagement #healthinsights #multiplesclerosis #parasitictreatment #MSwarrior #MS
