Dear Andreas, Yesterday I finished my 32oz bottle of cranberry juice that I started last Saturday night. I still think there may be infection though because on and off each day I feel discomfort/slight pain on each side near the pelvic bone, also sometimes three fingers in from the left pelvic bone where the top of my thigh is in height. There is also some discomfort/malaise and heat in the bladder region at least once daily, mostly right when I go to bed.

I am not sure if my kidneys are still involved in the infection but I do have side aches, pain below each rib, and pain in the kidney area of the back-plus urine flow is still sparse, especially in the a.m. it is almost nill. The last two days I have had that sensation of crystals/stones irritating my vagina again as well.

1. Do you think I should continue with the cranberry and xylitol or do a couple days of SSKI? -I have some from when I used it last June.

Also:
2. I am experiencing what I can best describe as gasping for air, but not at the mouth, instead center chest. Is this a result of my lungs decongesting/detoxing?

3. My husband wanted me to ask you: Despite the info. you supplied on soy products, if one is choosing between eating animal products or soy (mainly tofu) is soy still a better choice?
He is not ready for the diet you recommend.

With deepest gratitude & blessings,
Bonnie
