A superb clinician and herbalist placed his wife on parsley tea when she

developed a urinary tract infection on a trip. This therapy has been 100%

effective in his experience. in curing urinary infections. She was known to have

large kidney stones in both kidneys. By the fourth day of therapy the infection

was cleared and her kidney stones had dissolved.. This clinician has never seen

parsley tea fail to cure a urinary infection after many years of use.

 

Parsley tea is made by placing one ounce of first voided morning urine and a

handful of fresh parsley into a quart of water which is simmered for an hour.

The tea is strained and one quart is drunk hot or cold throughout each day. A

follow up urine specimen can be obtained on the 4th or 5 th day of tea to prove

that white cells, indicating infection, are no longer in the urine sediment..

 

There is a long history of successful use of parsley tea in Asia and among

native Americans. The urine specimen must be the patients own urine which has

beneficial immunologic properties.

 

The reason for the striking success of this therapy in infections probably

relates to parsley tea's ability to penetrate [1] the bladder wall. The 100%

efficacy insures that no resistant bacterial strains are created. Mannitol has

been a mainstay of U.T.I. therapy in the alternative health community. At best

it is only effective in about 80% of patients with 20% of strains found to be

non-responsive to mannitol possibly because adhesion of the involved bacteria to

the lining membrane of the bladder is too strong

 

At least 300 persons have experienced resolution of urinary infections and or

kidney stones in the USA. Sometimes the parsley tea needs to be continued for 10

days to obtain complete resolution of stones or infection. The exact mechanism

whereby the stones dissolve remains to be defined.

 

In women urinary tract infections usually originate in the urethra with symptoms

of frequent voiding and burning discomfort when voiding. Some kidney infections

originate with bacteria from the blood stream landing in kidney tissue

(pyelonephritis).This same type kidney damage may arise from infections that

spread up the from the bladder via the ureters into kidney tissue. Often

inadequate therapy permits smoldering infections to gradually destroy kidney

tissue. This is particularly likely to occur when there is obstruction to urine

flow out of the kidney (stones, tumors and scarring of the ureters which drain

the kidneys).

 

Antibiotic therapy has proven to be a mixed blessing. Certainly it can be

lifesaving in blood stream infections(septicemias). However, there appears to be

a lack of physician awareness of serious problems that may arise from antibiotic

therapy:

 

.. Killing of healthy bacteria in the intestines damages the immune system. More

than 70% of the body's immune cells are located in the intestines. When healthy

bacteria are missing nutrient absorption suffers, production of important

antibodies against cancer and bacteria will diminish and the number of killer

lymphocytes will decrease. All patients taking antibiotics should take powerful

probiotics(Culturelle GG and living bacteria from foods (sauerkraut,

unpasteurized goat yogurt, raw milk etc.)

 

.. Antibiotic use has been shown to increase the incidence of breast

cancer(February 18, 2004). Am not certain if this information has led to

evaluating antibiotic use in other malignancies because such information could

hurt the sale of antibiotics. My guess is this immune damage ought to cause

other malignancies to develop. Because of poor diets(excess sugar) and prior use

of antibiotics and non-steoidal anti-inflammatory drugs(Motrin, aspirin,

Voltaren) most U.S. citizens have unhealthy patterns of bacteria in their

intestinal tracts. Whenever possible, natural therapies(cucurmin, garlic,

essential oil of oregano, nano sized colloidal silver Argentyn 23 etc are

preferable to antiobiotics because they have no adverse effects on the immune

function of the intestine.

 

.. It is not unusual for antibiotic drugs to be used for several weeks. Because

of this different bacteria found in urine over time can become resistant to the

killing effect of the antibiotic being used. These resistant bacteria become the

predominant organisms in the urine culture.

 

.. Seriously ill patients often become unable to control their excretion of

urine. In this situation foley catheters are commonly used. These catheters can

prevent maceration of skin and skin breakdown with infection. However, over time

catheterized patients always develop resistant bacteria in their urine

particularly if antibiotics are used. These resistant bacteria can cause damage

to kidney tissue if they are able to spread up the ureter to the pelvis of the

kidney. Use of parsley tea can prevent this problem of bacterial resistance from

developing. The person taking parsley tea daily with a chronic indwelling foley

catheter is now able to stay free of serious kidney infection.

 

Parsley tea can heal all urinary tract bacterial infections. This also offers a

simple and effective method of eliminating kidney stones. This is much safer and

easier than lithotripter or surgical procedures to remove stones. Because of its

simplicity it could become the therapy of first choice for kidney stones.

Parsley tea is a major advance in Western health care.

Native American clinician.
