There is a Knight in Shining Armour

Hi,

Thank you so much, for Waterfall D-mannose. I've at last found life after pain!!

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 10 years ago. My life changed
rapidly and I had to come to terms with the beast!

After divorce and moving house, I decided that I was a "Bridget Jones"
and I'd take up smoking, drink too much wine and put on weight. End of life as I knew it!!

Then my Knight in Shining Amour appeared following a nervous encounter with an online dating site. This was it, but no, the ugly animal called cystitis hit me. In desperation I consulted NHS direct and was linked to you, another "Knight" and as I call it, "my magic powder" has saved me. Thank you again, "Mr. Online" is still in my cystitis free life, and
long may it continue. I'm going to place an order soon, mustn't run out!!

I have been very pleased with D-Mannose, it has worked extremely well for me. I have been struggling with E. coli for 1.5 years now, even though I have always managed to control previous occasional cystitis attacks just by having loads of water at the first symptoms. Since I started taking D-Mannose (pretty regularly at a low dose and higher doses before and after sex) I haven't had any cystitis problems at all !!! I will certainly continue using it.

I’ve been taking this product for 24 hours now and WOW, things can only get better!

After suffering for nearly 3 years I feel like I’ve been reborn. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I thought I was going mad, and even thought about taking my own life. NOW YOU'VE GIVEN LIFE BACK TO ME.

I can’t thank you enough... What a wonderfull product! Thank you again. Sharmane xxx

About the tablets

Thanks for your email and even more so for d-mannose. My daughter H...... found your site; she's 17 and is going through a phase of frequent but mild bouts of cystitis; I get occasional but more severe bouts which I've always had to get antibiotics for previously, or it turns to a nasty kidney infection. H...... hates taking antibiotics and found your treatment works really well for her, so when I succumbed I thought I 'd try it too.

It worked really quickly, I was delighted. The only problem I had was, I obviously didn't keep it up for long enough after symptoms ceasing, and it did come back after a day, so I had to start again, and keep going for longer.

We have both decided to keep some in reserve for any sign of infection coming on, but not taking a maintenance dose as it doesn't seem necessary at the moment.

Our family doctor was very interested when H..... told him about you; I hope he's looked at the site for himself.

Thank you both very much for the site, information, and your quick, kind service! I hope we don't need to get in touch with you too often, but it's great to know you're there!

Best wishes - JS

Waterfall D-Mannose is a wonderful product.
I use it mainly to prevent infections taking hold. When I feel that my urine is what I call getting "acidy" ie: slightly stingy and irritating I use it then until everything settles down...which can be anything up to a week or longer.

It does certainly ease symptoms very quickly and I have tried everything!!
I have had various urine infections and a misbehaving bladder since childhood so it is nice to find a product that works and also does not taste foul!

Keep up the good work - Julie

I think when I last emailed you my UTI had developed into a kidney infection (thanks for the advice about taking higher doses of Waterfall D-Mannose by the way!) I took your advice and upped my dosage and that, combined with the antibiotics worked - but it took a long time!

I am now taking a maintenance dose of Waterfall D-Mannose of 2 teaspoons a day, which I increase before and after sex ( as this is a big trigger for my UTI's!), and, touch wood, have been free of symptoms for about a week now!!

My purchase of Waterfall D-Mannose was for Mozart, my 6-month-old puppy. Although we used it concurrently with antibiotics, the improvement started very soon after the first D-Mannose dose.

Looking back, Mozart must have been suffering from persistent cystitis since about September/October, but we didn’t realise until it became acute in November, when she was also diagnosed as having struvite crystals in her urine, exacerbated by the bacteria. The bacteria were diagnosed as e.coli in January, having failed to respond to 2 courses each, of two different antibiotics. (These appeared to work against the cultured bacteria in the test tube, but in practice they were either just subduing the infection – not killing it completely – or Mozart was being reinfected within a very short time of stopping the antibiotics). As soon as the bacteria were identified as e.coli, I did some Internet surfing. After finding your web and getting some helpful info from John, I bought some D-Mannose and started giving it to Mozart (with the consent of my vet) about 3 days after she started a third type of antibiotic.

Although the D-Mannose and antibiotic were given concurrently, I'm convinced that the D-Mannose helped. Both before diagnosis (prior to the acute spell) and with antibiotics, Mozart was asking to go out (approx) every 10-to-40 minutes. Within 3 days of finishing a course, the symptoms became acute again. However, I think it’s significant that within about 6 hours of starting the D-Mannose, Mozart was asking to go out much less frequently, and within a couple of days was only going out about once every 45 minutes to 2 hours. When we finished the antibiotic course, we continued with a D-Mannose maintenance dose of a quarter of a teaspoonful, and the improvement lasted (ie toileting stayed less frequent).

However, a fortnight later, a urine culture, although negative for bacteria, still showed struvite crystals and white blood cells (a sign of inflammation and/or low-grade infection with too few bacteria to culture). The vet advised another course of antibiotics, which we gave (again, concurrent with D-Mannose maintenance) for another 2 weeks, and the latest in-house analysis was negative for infection, crystals and white blood cells. At last! We are keeping Mozart on a D-Mannose maintenance dose for at least another couple of months, then we may wean her off and see what happens.

I found your website looking for something to help my daughter. She has lived in pain for 8 years now with bladder infections, but when she would go back to the doctor her urine would not show infection but she always has pain. She has learned to live her life with it. The doctors said that it was probably an infection in the wall of her bladder. I ordered your product and she started taking it and began feeling better.

I am praying that this product will change her quality of living. With this next order she will try to get things completely under control and then start a maintenance level. Thank you for your time and efforts to help people with this problem and I will let you know the final results with ....... as she continues to use your product. W.

I was starting to get sick of the inevitable wait for the next bout and
decided to look on the internet for any self help methods or prevention and found your website, and I can't explain how glad I am. I have used it as prescribed for a week now, as a preventative before and after sex, and am completely cystitis free. I must admit that I was sceptical-if doctors couldn't (or wouldn't) take me seriously I thought a glyconutrient was unlikely to help, but I have happily been proved wrong.

I have been really bad at taking my D-Mannose (I'm quite a good nurse but a lousy patient!) ...I never remember to take tablets etc. I have used D-Mannose when I even slightly begin to get symptoms of cystitis and it has worked each time. It has been a great relief to know that it's there and to have the confidence that it will work. C.

Many thanks, I'm most impressed with your service.

I tried the D-Mannose and it did help with the discomfort. My problem seems to be a food intolerance problem. My doctor has called it an 'irritable bladder'. I call it 'downright angry'! He also said that when I get the attacks I could have a very mild infection that doesn't show up in tests. Sounds unlikely to me but there you go. In any event, fingers crossed because I haven't had an attack for a while and I have the D-Mannose to hand if I should get a full blown UTI again.

Morbid Fascination

Just wanted to tell you what happened to me last night.

I used to get cystitis after sex more often than not, then around 2 months ago I found your product. After a couple of months of being very careful I had sex without a spoonful before - it happens! Previously when this had happened I had a spoonful every 3 hours for a couple of days, but I wanted to see if I still needed it - morbid fascination. Sure enough my symptoms developed over about 4 days.

Last night I had 2 glasses of wine and then, whoosh, immediately the symptoms got worse. Within 1.5 hours there was blood in my wee. As soon as the symptoms appeared I started with a spoonful (heaped) of Waterfall D-Mannose . After 40mins it was much worse and I had 2 heaped spoons. Then another half an hour and still worse so I had 3 heaped spoons. I then checked instructions on website and realised I wasn't drinking enough. Another 2 heaped spoons of Waterfall D-Mannose and a glass of water later I flaked out exhausted but curled up in pain.

I actually rang the doctor to get antibiotics as I was so scared about how quickly I had deteriorated. It was too late to get antibiotics so I was advised to drink cranberry juice (which I didn't do) and go to bed (which I did do).

At 2am I was woken by terrible wind followed by a dramatic visit to the toilet (number 2 kind of drama). Following this I realised my wee hadn't hurt at the end. I could not believe it, even though I overdosed severely, it had worked and I now have confidence in Waterfall D-Mannose .

In the morning I was very close to being normal again. Wind levels are returning to normal too!

The point of this story is to help people have confidence in your product. I felt like it couldn't possibly help me as it was so quickly brought on and dramatic. I was wrong.

Thank you for your website. Hopefully my story could help others. Keep up the good work.

The D-Mannose does indeed appear to be keeping the UTI's (ecoli based) at bay - each time I 've been tested there hasn't been a trace of it. Which is really good news. I recently had what I thought was an attack (with very similar symptoms) - however, this wasn't ecoli related.

I wouldn't be without the D-Mannose now, and use it for maintenance purposes.

I'd like to thank you both for all your kindness, help and advice. Diana

I bought Waterfall D-Mannose for my mother who has been on antibiotics for recurring bladder infections for almost a year.

Unfortunately the treatment did not work. Though she has tried to resist antibiotics she has found her condition intolerable without them.

However, recently I began to feel the symptoms of cystitis myself, ( I have been prone to occasional attacks) so I took three lots of D-Mannose and the symptoms have gone.

The Waterfall D-Mannose worked a treat. I don't normally suffer from bladder infections but a few months ago I went through a spate of infections one after the other. After taking your treatment for a week or two I was completely clear, and in fact as promised my cystitis was much better after a couple of treatments.

Now whenever I feel there may be a chance of it recurring I take some Waterfall D-Mannose and it doesn't come to anything.

Thanks again for your wonderful product.

Thank you so much ... - the cystitis has not returned so far fingers crossed - I tend to get it when I am very stressed....I have taken a few maintenance doses when I have thought it might be rearing it's ugly head and it has gone away - so fantastic news all round really....as of yet I have not taken it when in the midst of a full blown attack....when I ordered it from you I was trying to stave it off with Cantharis - a homeopathic remedy - but this does take longer - when I took the Waterfall D Mannose I noticed immediate relief and the infection cleared up in about 4-5 days. I pass your details on to anyone I hear of who may need similar help!

My Cat Lilly

I just wanted to give you some feedback, as you requested on the telephone. My Cat Lilly, who is now 18 yeard old, has been suffering from e.coli in the bladder for over a year now, and it makes her prone to 'accidents' and she was obviously in quite a lot of discomfort. When I read your website, and after taking to John about it, I decided to try her on Waterfall D-Mannose at a third of a teaspoon five times a day, in a little milk. The results are that she has brightened up a huge amount over the last few days, and her urine is now not nearly so smelly, so I think it is working very well on her. I am going to keep her on a maintenance dose for the rest of this month, and then I will try to stop the dosage and see what happens. Thank you again, and I am definitely going to tell my vet about this.

I've had cystitis a few times (bacteria found on culture, but I didn’t think to ask which type), and about 18 months ago, I went to the doctor because I seemed to be starting with it again. However, on this occasion he said that it wasn’t acute enough for a diagnosis, and I should go away and drink a lot. I did, but things stayed the same – still not acute, but I ve had a constant feeling of wanting to ‘go’ ever since. Rather than go back to the doctor, I decided to put up with the constant daytime discomfort (it wasn’t too bad at night). Shortly after the second 3-hourly dose, I realised that the constant feeling had lessened considerably. On days 2 to 4, I took it mornings and evenings only, then stopped. Brilliant – I ve been completely back to normal for about 6 weeks.

Got the D Mannose in the post last night and started to take it. Even after an hour or so I could feel the difference. This morning I have felt better than I have for a long time ! Hopefully now this will be the start of a good year for me as I have sufffered all year with problems.

Thanks for sending it out so quickly.

LATER....

Have been sorted now since I took Waterfall D-Mannose . Feel alive again. Can't believe something so simple can work so well. I even gave a bag to my sister who had been also struggling and it helped her too.

Now I just take it on odd time I feel it creeping back and just for maintainance. Great !!!!

Overall I am very impressed and will no doubt be in touch again when I need some more.

I am 30 and have suffered with recurrent bouts of cystitis all my adult life that effected my work and social life.

Your website is really encouraging as it made me feel that I wasn't the only one who suffered from this really annoying and painful problem. It has clearly been written by people who understand cystitis and the impact on the people who suffer from it.
I placed my first order with you at Christmas time after suffering a really horrid spell that resulted me in going to the A&E department on Christmas day. I couldn't control vomiting brought on from a high temperature caused through a UTI.

Since taking D-Mannose (in relatively small regular doses as recommended) I have been cystitis free (HOORAY!), all bar one weekend (guess what I was up to?) where I did get some symptoms but managed to clear them up in a matter of hours, through increasing my dosage.
I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work.

I found your site online and read word for word... I thought I had become an expert on this kind of thing I drink my cranberry juice etc and know pretty much all I thought I could know (or at least what the docs told me!)
I couldn't believe it to be honest...I've been damaging my body with all these pills when here in front of me was what looked like a solution!

Anyway I didn't get my hopes built up, having tried lots of other options in the past and them failing I thought "No way is a simple sugar going to help...surely"

Well, I got your package this morning, after waking up once again in pain and took my first dose.....It's now 3 oclock and for the first time this week I can feel my bladder! (Sorry,. I know this doesn't make any sense but when I'm ill my bladder goes almost numb apart from the crampy aches and pains lower down.) Not only that but I'm not hurting!!

Its only been one day but from the results so far I think I may be onto
something here! I sooooooo wish somebody had told me about D-Mannose many many years ago!

I just wish the health services would pay more attention to this kind of thing!

Once again thank you, and I am sure you will be receiving many more orders from myself in the months/years to come!

You're lifesavers!!!

Plagued by UTI’s for about four years

I would like to thank you for taking time to explain to a very anxious mother how your wonderful product works. My 19 year old daughter has been plagued by UTI’s for about four years and was on high dose antibiotics. I ordered the Waterfall D-Mannose on Monday, it arrived Tuesday first post and within four hours of taking it she started to feel better, by next day she was back to work as normal, (first time for over a week). THANK YOU

Finally, Something That Helps my Interstitial Cystitis

After using your product for just over a month, I just wanted to say thank you so much for my first period of being totally pain free for years! I have battled with interstitial cystitis most of my life, and I've had just about every test and treatment in the book, including bladder washes that actually made matters worse, and a urethral stretch, which only eased the pain for a short period. I'd also like to thank you for your honesty. You did not do a 'sales pitch', and told me it might not work for me, but I am so glad that I decided to go ahead anyway. Doctors continually told me there was no infection present (although they still gave me antibiotics), but I've always suspected there was some bacterial involvement. Thank you again for this wonderful cure.

Thank you for the last order which took a week to arrive. It seems to be working though I felt worse for a day. It is such a relief after battling for more than a year with antibiotics. Have used it every three hours for three days and now reduced the dosage to three times a day but have started on the second flat pack. Please send me another 100 gms of Waterfall D-Mannose asap.

This Does Work.

I am pleased to report that Waterfall D-Mannose has brought almost immediate relief to me. This does work, unlike every other product I've taken. I'm continuing to take it as recommended, and now have great hope that I will be finally clear of cystitis. Thank you for the wonderfull relief your product has brought me.
