Parsley Tea
For Urinary Tract Infections and Kidney Stones
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, for 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 5th
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 US 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 antibiotics 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.
