tuffy,
I mentioned somewhere before that dehydration does 'set the stage' for a bacterial infection, but it certainly does not CAUSE a bacterial infection.
>>>...since a warm dry atmosphere is needed. one reason they keep "cool" in any kind of health store/lab/doctors office/hospital....warmness helps the germs multiply.<<<
Yes, the proper temperature/warmth is necessary for bacteria to live and reproduce, but DRY??? I must have missed something in my educational process. I've NEVER heard of bacteria being able to reproduce or live without moisture. In fact, I've always been taught that just the opposite is true. Remember all those "you can't catch STD's from a toilet seat" lectures? That's not because the toilet seat is warm or cold, that's because once the fluid dries out, the bacteria dies. Now, I'm no bacteriologist (by ANY means) and there may be some bacteria out there that don't completely die when it's dry (just go dormant or something), but I'm almost positive that virtually ALL bacteria need a warm, wet environment before they can thrive, reproduce to the point of "infection".

as for the rest of your post? who cares whether a person claims to be what they are....in the end, they get their paybacks....it sounds as if you might be threatened almost. jmo<<<
Personally? I do not give a hoot how people feed their ego's and get their jollies when they don't hurt anybody else while they're doing it...but this was NOT the case.
Saying that Colonix and/or fiber causes kidney/urinary tract infection (and putting an MD/PhD behind the statement) has GREAT potential for harm---
---to the people who need it for bowel cleansing and/or need to supplement their diets with fiber.
---to the people who don't yet have enough knowledge in the world of natural health to separate the truth from the lies.
---to the company that makes Colonix, it's reputation, it's profit line, and all the poor people that have to answer the emails and phone calls from all the people filled with fear, who now believe that Colonix causes kidney infections.
---to the educated people who happen to have just started being interested/intrigued in natural health because of major or minor bowel symptoms, and happened to end up at Curezone when searching for answer. Any person with any kind of knowledge of bacteria (yet no knowledge of the "community" of Curezone), would read those posts and say to themselves, "Just like I thought and my doctor told me, these "natural health" people are uneducated and they ARE a bunch of quacks and losers"...and tell others their experience...and then who knows how many people would be hurt.
---and lastly, harm to Curezone itself (who, if you didn't notice) is sponsored in part by Colonix. Why would a company continue to advertise or sponsor a website, when people on that website said their product would cause a kidney infection?
A threat to me? Smirk...HARDLY. Someone that has to impersonate a physician or a person with a high education in hopes of feeding their ego to "prove" a falsehood that they stated, is of absolutely no threat to this ole gal. But they did open up a huge "Pandora's Box" of fear and the potential to harm many MANY people.
Did I want to take all that time to respond when I have (no joke) over TWENTY emails from people with REAL problems and REAL pain that are waiting for a response from me? Did I want to take that much time away from my business, and cost myself a 'couple hundred bucks' just because some jerk out there needed to get his egotistical rocks off? Of course not. But I listened to my heart and decided (especially after seeing the fearful posts of several newbies) that someone had to 'stop the insanity'.
I don't know who said it, but here's my bottom line: "If you're not part of the solution, then you ARE part of the problem!"
And that's what I know about that.
Yours in health,
Unyquity
