Magnesium for Incontinence by PubMed Magnesium Treats Urinary Urge Incontinence: The beneficial effect of magnesium on urge incontinence was discovered accidentally by researchers several years ago, when women who were prescribed magnesium for spasms in their calf muscles remarked that the treatment also helped their bladder symptoms.
How Magnesium Functions in the Body - Video Carolin Dean, MD + Magnesium is a mineral that is required in over 325 enzyme systems in the body. + Helps metabolize proteins, carbohydrates and fats. + Helps keep blood sugar balanced. + Acts as a natural statin. There is an enzyme that statin drugs 'kill,' but magnesium balances. + Regulates cholesterol. + Creates the spark that goes from nerve cell to nerve cell to create movement. + Necessary for muscles. + Magnesium should balance calcium. If you lack magnesium, calcium takes the upper hand. Magnesium relaxes muscles; calcium tightens them. If you lack magnesium, your muscles are tight. Your heart, being a muscle, can go into spasms due to a lack of magnesium, which may cause angina and heart attacks. + Our soils are depleted of magnesium yet still have calcium, and the typical diet is 3 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium. We need a diet where they are balanced. + People supplement with calcium thinking they can avoid osteoporosis, but unless they balance calcium with magnesium, this may lead to calcification issues in the heart, kidney stones, gallstones and so on. + Two studies show that women who take calcium supplements are at a much higher risk of getting heart disease.

8. There are days I don't even need to use the KB-Blend anymore for my interstitial cystitis because the pain is not that noticeable. But there are times I will experience a flare-up, and I will just put about 3 drops in an empty capsule and take it. [HEO's Comment: This blend is not suitable for ingestion.] Within a little while, the pain will calm down. Also, I will add a few drops to my lotion and just rub it on my kidneys and bladder for extra support. I'm so thankful to have found such a wonderful product and such a great company to buy it from. God is so good! I'm currently doing the Trim Healthy Mama Diet. I know my triggers are corn, potatoes and tomatoes, so I avoid those foods. About five years ago, I had all of my dental fillings and root canals removed. I also try to eat a clean diet of organic foods when I can source them. I never eat out and cook most of my food so that I know what I'm eating. I also drink a 1/2 lemon and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in mineral water every morning, and I drink a lot of kombucha. I have a wonderful Christian doctor who muscle tests me and has me on some supplements. - Nancy
9. Evening Primrose oil has been the number one help in relieving interstitial cystitis pain. I take one capsule nightly. That is what gave me my life back. Previously, the flair-up would be so bad at night I could only walk doubled over. Please tell anyone you know going through IC about it, too, as it is what turned things around, pain-wise. I still experience flair-ups from time to time, and 1 tsp. of baking soda mixed thoroughly in water until dissolved would/will take the pain completely away within 5-20 minutes, depending on the severity of the flair-up. I hadn't had a flair-up this bad in about a year, and along with the fibro flare, it is what prompted me to email you! I've been using Sandalwood twice a day since this terrible flair-up. It did help a lot, but I still had to resort to baking soda to relieve the pain. God is amazing with all the natural things available to heal us! - Julie 10. My mom has congestive heart failure and is taking diuretics to help remove the excess fluid. She also has diabetes. So basically, two long-term health issues. At one point, I suspected my mom was coming down with a UTI, and I ordered cedarwood. I gave it to her in a capsule form every two hours, at first round the clock (I did NOT want her to have to go on antibiotics!), but then to waking hours - she recovered. Praise the Lord that He also used it to help remove the excess fluid in her body so that we were able to drastically reduce the prescription diuretic that she is on. Being concerned about any possible immunity I have switched back and forth between Cedarwood and KB-Blend with good results. - Crystal
11. KB-Blend got rid of my bladder infection within a day or so. It also helped my sister-in-law's badder and kidney infection that she had been on antibiotics 3 times for. She used it with the antibiotics the last time and her symptoms were gone within hours. - Sandi 12. Bladder pain, Interstitial Cystitis, Urinary Tract Infections: Oxalates and oxalate dumping can cause these symptoms in some people. I have been struggling with constant pain from Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and frequent recurring UTIs, especially when dumping. After almost a year of this, I finally found a urologist who acknowledges the oxalate connection/factor and is well-versed in supplements and natural treatments. She has a list of recommendations but is quick to say that every person is different and we have to try something to see if it works for us or not. Based on her recommendations, I am now doing these to prevent future UTIs and help treat bladder pain: 1) Staying strictly on a low oxalate diet [LOD] (for me, it's a carnivore). 2) Reduce acid foods, histamines or salicylates if necessary. 3) Take 3-6 dried aloe caps every day. 4) Take 2 grams of D-Mannose per day, every day. 5) Take cranberry supplements (separate from D-Mannose), but only choose the ones that verify that they contain a minimum of 36 PACs. 6) Daily probiotics (lactobacillus and acidophilus) -Vickilynn
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your healthcare provider.
