LIFE: A Living Hope, and a Sure Salvation

1 Peter 1:1-5 (New American Standard Bible)

A Living Hope, and a Sure Salvation.

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

HEALTH: Bladder Health Primer

Click on the link below and read the article by Janet Martin. The title is "Flush Out Your Bladder Woes Naturally"
www.isnare.com/?aid=255248&ca=Medicines+and+Remedies This is a good article with general information. It seems to be aimed at strengthening the urinary tract after a round of antibiotics and after the urine flow is recovering.

ACID URINE: She recommends magnesium nitrate to alkalize the urine. You need to purchase PH paper to test urine PH. I've provided a link for PH paper at www.thehealthhound.com/
I have heard from natural health practitioners that if you drink 1/2 of a lemon juiced in a small glass of water, this will alkalize the urine. So I did a test. I had been drinking coffee so I did a urine PH test that turned out to be 6.0. Then I juiced a small lemon in a small glass of water and drank it. About one hour later I took another PH test that turned out to be 6.4. That put me in the alkaline range. This is not a conclusive test but you get the idea.
I have been using coral calcium to alkalize. See my articles "Coral Calcium + 70 Trace Minerals" and "Easy PH Testing".

BIOFLAVONOIDS + Vit. A and C: I would drink fresh carrot juice for the vitamin A (not bottled). Carrot juice also helps to alkalize the system. If you would rather supplement the vitamin A then fish liver oil in gel-caps might be best. Do not use synthetic vitamin A! For the vitamin C and bioflavonoids I would use "Advan-C" from http://www.vitacost.com/ In their search bar type "bioflavonoids" and they will show you 38 different formulas with bioflavonoids. You can read the lable of "Advan-C". Three capsules would give you 1650 mg of C and 600 mg of citrus bioflavonoids. This combination is suppose to fortify the mucosal surfaces. Doctor Bob Marshal recommends bioflavonoids to strengthen the bladder.

PROBIOTICS (Acidophilis, etc.): To replace the friendly bacteria in the colon that the antibiotics wiped out I will recommend http://www.vitaminshop.com/ . "Ultimate 10 Probiotics." The quality is consistant and the price is reasonable. It's about $14.00 for 100 capsules. It ships within 24 hours. Refrigerate after opening. I have a friend who has been using "Ultimate 10 Probiotics" for several years. He takes one capsule with every meal and I think that is a good practice.

NOTE: It is an excellent practice to take probiotics every day to stay healthy.

This is how happy you'll be to have a healthy bladder.

BLOOD ORANGES: When possible I like to use live food to strengthen my health. Doctor Bob Marshal says that blood oranges have a lot of bioflavonoids in them. A lot more than other oranges. Check here www.localharvest.org/ There are plenty of resources online for blood oranges.
