Everything you need to know, Bladder Infection after Sexual Intercourse, Holistic Treatment of a Fungal Infection, Step-by-Step … after MenoPause, Fighting Off Parasites

It is the book that explains much more than the cause of your bladder infection. Based on studies, it has now been known for more than 10 years what triggers recurrent bladder infections. Research has shown that E. coli bacteria can protect themselves from antibiotic attacks by hiding in the bladder wall and then coming out again and again, triggering new infections. However, there are methods to tackle these bacteria that keep rekindling the inflammation. This book will enlighten you as to the how, why and wherefore, and of course also tell you WHAT you can do about the affliction. With remedies which are individually coordinated and quite without conventional antibiotics, you can heal yourself completely. The author is living proof of this. After 23 years of her suffering from the illness, her cure was almost miraculous. In this book, all the necessary medications are presented in detail and it is shown how they can be used most effectively. Furthermore, the book is rounded off with many valuable tips on how to rebuild one's immune system after years of antibiotics.

You will learn in detail how to free yourself from the torment of this disease. Special extra chapters deal with topics such as women after the menopause, bladder problems after sex, lymphatic cleansing, fungus and parasite treatment and much more. Allow yourself to be surprised by many valuable tips, including those from female readers. This book constitutes a tremendous piece of work in which you can find out everything you need to know in order to become holistically healthy.

Excerpt from Bladder Infection © Copyright 2025 Theresia Niedermeier

Allow me to introduce myself:

E. coli bacterium is what they call me. I actually come from the intestine, but at a pleasant 37 degrees I also feel very comfortable in the mucous membranes of your urethra and bladder. W ith my protein FimH (these are the little sticky feet that I have) I can really stick to your bladder wall so that I can almost no longer ge t away from it. Since I like it so much here, I'm thinking of settling in right away. I am therefore trying to penetrate your so-called endothelial cells. However, I am just noticing that I am not very welcome in your bladder. Your bladder recognizes that I am not one of your normal bladder bacteria. It informs the immune system that there are unwelco me guests here and now reacts with an inflammation. Now a great ma ny white blood cells, also called leukocytes, start to migrate and multiply rapidly. Your mucous membrane, where I have tried to settle, suddenly swells and the cells I have tried to penetrate begi n to flake off and I am flushed back out of your bladder with your urine.

But I have many more co-workers who would like to t ry the same thing I did and who might be even much more success ful than I was. Because the story could also go on like this….

Why you have to become a tank buster first!

As you have just read, the bacteria are literally s ticking to your bladder wall, or at least they are trying to.

But i t gets even worse:

A research team at the University of Utah 2 has discovered that certain E. coli bacteria can hide in the cells lining the bladder wall . The pathogens penetrate much deeper into the bladde r tissue than previously thought. The microbes in the cells form so-called biofilms , regular structures to protect themselves, and are thus protected against attacks by drugs and the body's o wn defences. It has been found that in 22% 3 of bladder infections triggered by E. coli bacteria, such bacteria are present that have hidde n themselves in the cells. According to the 2007 Pharmaceutical New spaper, the percentage of recurrent bladder infections is 20%. Is it a coincidence that these two figures are almost the same? One doe sn't know. In any case, there could be something to it. As a matt er of fact, scientists strongly believe that this is precisely the reason why urinary tract infections keep coming back in some w omen.

The Escherichia coli that causes bladder infections has a special tool, as mentioned above. You can imagine it like t he sticky feet of a gecko. It has so-called fimbriae. These are appenda ges that are equipped with a certain protein (FimH). Think of th e protein as glue. With this protein, the bacteria attach themselves f irmly to your urethra. This is also the reason why the bacteria c annot simply be flushed out so easily with the urine but instead tr avel further up into the bladder.

There are also pathogens that in addition release a toxin (CNF1) which changes the cell membranes so that the bacter ia can penetrate the bladder wall even more easily. They c an then multiply there in secret and are protected from the host bod y's defence cells.

An experiment with mice showed that once the bacter ia have penetrated into deeper cell layers, they can even survive several days of antibiotic therapy unscathed.

The solution to this conundrum

A research team at the Washington University School of Medicine 4 has discovered which method the bacteria in the bla dder use. During experiments on mice, they found that after the infection with bacteria, pockets (so-called vesicles) formed inside the inner bladder wall cells, and these served as a shelter for the bacteria . Think of it as similar to the small, lockable side compartment in a woman's h andbag. Your bladder is the handbag and the vesicle is the side compartment, in other words, a hiding place for bacteria. The bacte ria simply slip into one of these side compartments (vesicles), crawl in and stay there for a while.

For all those who want to know exactly how it works , here’s what happens

At Duke University in Durham, North Carolina 5 it was found that to stay in the bladder, the bacteria use the mechanism by which the bladder stretches. When the bladder fills up, it ge ts stretched. Just like if you put water in a balloon, it gets bigger. This also stretches the tissue. The inner skin of your bladder (the endothelium) can't simply increase in size in the same way. In o rder for it to grow, so to speak, it has to absorb water so that it won' t tear or burst. To this end, small vesicles form in the endothelial ce lls. These are basically small bubbles or blisters which are perme able to water; they then come to the surface of the cell and fuse there with the outer shell of the cell, causing the cell to enlarge and grow. This happens when your bladder fills up and expands. However, wh en you empty your bladder again, it becomes smaller again and sh rinks. During this process, the vesicles retract into the interior of the cell and disappear there , because the endothelial cell has to become smaller again. And it is precisely at this moment t hat the E. coli bacteria attach themselves to the vesicles and are practically pulled into the cell interior along with them . In this cell interior, they are protected from any antibiotics and (unfort unately) feel perfectly at home.

Now you can also imagine why you can get a bladder infection again shortly after taking antibiotics. You see, the “lit tle pests” come out of their hiding places again after a while.

And it gets even worse…..
