Bladder Control

This is advertised on this site - Overactive Bladder Cured
Breakthrough Discovery 100% Natural Guaranteed Cure, End your suffering
[moderator note: website address has been removed]

It's 29.95 US.

Anyone bought it and found what the 'hidden secret' is?? And, more to the point, DOES IT WORK???

I'm happy to buy the book - if I can reasonably be assured (other than their own marketing) that this has a good possibility of working.

Having suffered from overactive bladder for the last 25 years, having been told there was 'nothing we can do', 'we can't find anything wrong with you', 'take this drug' and suffered the consequences, I'm keen to try something that is not surgical and not chemical (their marketing blurb doesn't say, but claims natural).

At 41, I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

Please, if you know anything about this 'cure', please share! :-)

Have a great day, all,

Bee

I have overactive bladder though I have no leakage. I am a 39 year old female and recently had outpatient surgery to open up my very narrow urethra. Doc said I should be able to sleep through the night after this surgery. Its been almost a month after surgery and I am still taking 3 - 5 trips to the bathroom per night. One night I did actually sleep five hours straight after taking a Trader Joe's Magnesium with calcium supplement. I took two. Magnesium calms the bladder. I am going to try Peter Gillham's Natural calm Magnesium/Calcium...it is a powder that you put in hot water and drink it. I am going to try drinking it around 9pm and go to sleep at 10pm. Then when I wake up at night, take the TJ's Magnesium with calcium supplement. The Doc had give me a drug and it gave me dry mouth, I felt drunk and whoozy, and constipated. Though it did seem to calm my bladder, I felt bad otherwise. So I am going the all natural route with the Magnesium with Calcium powder. I took it this morning and my bladder feels calm. You can take as much of this as your body can tolerate. Loose stools and you will need to cut back the dose.

Thanks for sharing your experiences drake308.

I've just started taking magnesium, but have taken it before and not noticed any real difference in my symptoms.

I'm like one of those Baby Alive dolls - liquid goes in one end, and almost immediately out the other, with about as much control!

I found this other thing to try.

Its something called Butterbur. I bought it at the health food store. I have to take it twice a day. I am trying them both. Hope it works since I feel so tired of little sleep.

Thanks - I'll check it out.

Know what you mean about lack of sleep. Usually I only get up once during the night, but sometimes twice or thrice..... and I can never lay about having a 'sleep in' in the morning - my bladder forces me out of bed!

The only time I don't get up in the night is when I've had my evening cuppa earlyish, after having eaten a dinner with a higher than usual salt content (so I'm retaining water).

During the day I stay home alot, which makes it easier to do the dash to the loo every 20 mins or so after I've had a cup of tea or a glass of water.

It sucks to have to live my life around my bladder! lol

.....just remembered now..... I watched a program on TV last night about an Australian Dr in Tanzania, who is repairing gynaecological fistulas. Because the Tanzanian women are so small, and they may labour on sometimes for a week or more, little or no medical help, their bladders and bowels are damaged. Holes are torn in their vaginas, and urine and/or faeces leak out thru their vaginas constantly, making them outcasts in their families/villages. This Aus Dr went to Tanzania in 1959 and discovered the enormity of the problem there, and has made it (with her husband) her life's work to repair as many of these women as possible.

Anyway, following on from that, they had one young girl there (17) and had tried many times to fix her problem with surgery and she still had stress incontinence. They were able to fix the symptoms (leakage) with a 'plug', which the girl was instructed to insert into her own urethra. Once inserted, the device remains in the bladder, but you can remove the 'plug' to release urine. This gives you control over when urine is released.

I'd never heard/seen anything like that before - must go and research it, see if I can find it and give it a try!
