Amen. Last night, just as she was being prepped for the OR for a quick procedure, there were a bunch of Drs and nurses attending her and in walked the Priest to pray the prayers and anoint her. They paused their ministrations and I think some of them joined in the Our Father.
Prayers for quick resolution. See FR mail....
Prayers!
Prayers. . .heartfelt.
Prayers for complete healing! God bless you both.
Prayers up for a swift and full recovery!
SSKI – The Remedy That Wipes Out 100 Percent Of Bladder Infections
http://wrightnewsletter.com/2012/04/11/remedy-that-wipes-out-100-percent-of-bladder-infections/
Banish bladder infections - by Jonathan Wright, MD
Q: I followed your tip about using D-mannose for a bladder infection, but it didn’t work. Is there anything else I can try?
Dr. Wright: D-mannose, the natural, good-tasting simple sugar, whisks away the E. coli bacteria that cause approximately 90 percent of all bladder infections. For the 10 percent for whom it doesn’t work, there is hope. This treatment is also a completely natural one that was actually first described in the 1920s by physicians at the Mayo Clinic.
Actually, this treatment will eliminate 100 percent of all bladder infections, but it doesn’t taste nearly as good as D-mannose. In addition, although it happens very rarely, it can cause an allergic reaction. So I generally recommend trying D-mannose first and using this remedy as back up if that doesn’t work–and of course, you should always consult with a physician skilled in natural medicine.
So what is it? Long-time readers of Nutrition & Healing may have guessed already: It’s saturated solution of potassium iodide (SSKI), the natural remedy so versatile that Holly and I never travel without it (although the Transportation Security Agency is certainly making it more difficult to do so).
We were at a convention in a mountainous region of Wyoming, miles from medical facilities, when a friend who was also attending started looking distressed and asked Holly (who’s an R.N.) if there was anything she could do about a bladder infection she felt coming on. She’d already asked the hotel about cranberry juice, but they didn’t have any in stock. She and her husband were hoping to avoid the long drive to the nearest small hospital in the middle of the night.
Holly went back to our room and got one of our two small travel-size bottles of SSKI (we always bring two, just for circumstances like this: We don’t want to be without at least one for us!). After making sure she had no iodine allergy, she advised our friend to take 15 drops of SSKI in lots of water (as effective as it is, even well diluted, SSKI doesn’t taste at all good) every three to four hours while she was awake. There’s no need to get up from sleeping to take it, since the iodide stays in the bladder and keeps on killing germs until the bladder is emptied. You can and should take more then. In fact, as Holly advised our friend, you should keep taking it until all your symptoms have been gone for at least 24 hours.
The next day, our friend was looking considerably better, and two days later she told Holly she was cured.
As I mentioned earlier, physicians from the Mayo Clinic wrote about this therapy decades ago. And their original recommendation is the same one I still use today: 15 drops every three to four hours. It worked then, and it works today. But remember: don’t take iodine or iodide long-term without advice from a physician skilled and knowledgeable in natural medicine.
________________________________________
Note: When taking iodine or iodide one should also take selenium. Normal selenium dose would be 200 mcg.
Once the bladder infection is gone, it would normally be advisable to continue taking iodine/iodide as Lugol’s iodine solution, along with the 200 mcg of selenium.
We will include both of you in our prayers.
May God protect and help both of you through this time.
SSKI is Saturated Solution of Potassium Iodide
Our prayers are with you both. We know healing comes from the Lord. Healing begins with prayer!
Praying for healing and rest.

Prayers out. My God put his healing hand on Mrs. Don-O and
use this experience to draw her ever closer to him. In Jesus name.
*Kathy and LUV: ping to the Prayer Warriors list, please*
Don-o and Mrs. don-o: I had a kidney stone in the mid-80s. Things may have changed now but the doctor told me back then that there are some kidney stones that can be analyzed to determine exactly what caused them. There are others that cannot be analyzed as to the cause.
The one that I had could not be analyzed to determine the cause. However, the doctor told me that in those cases it is usually caused by only three things:
01. ) Too much alcohol.
02. ) Sitting too much during the day and not evacuating enough times.
03. ) A combination of 01. ) and 02. ) above.
I became more active but did not stop drinking although my alcohol consumption wasn’t that much anyway. Maybe two beers per week was my maximum. I haven’t had an issue with kidney stones since.
For what it’s worth.....
Prayers for her quick, and complete, recovery.
Prayers!
Will remember you both at Holy Mass today.
I agree, FR is a tremendous source of solice and inspiration. Prayers for Mrs Don-o.
My Ma(89) fell yesterday nothing serious but please keep Ruth in your prayers also.
Dear Lord, Divine Physician the gospels are filled with accounts of your love and compassion for the sick and suffering please reach out to those that most desperately need your healing touch.
Prayers up. I have had kidney stones and they are brutal. I thought I had a high pain threshold but they put me on a morphine drip when i started to pass them, they were cutting the inside of my man stuff and it hurt like hell.
Having been through the kidney stone trials three times now, I can fully sympathize with Her.
My kidney stones were the size of giant boulders!(well, at least to me they were!)
You and the mrs. have my best thoughts and hopes.
