My pal, is having a very difficult battle trying to fight a bladder infection and has become anti-biotic resistant. He's mentioned Susan Weed as someone that can possibly help him. I would be happy to pay for her to make a visit to him to see what she can do, or if she can talk to him etc
There are two ways to consult with Susun, one is for free by calling her Tuesday evening phone hotline, the other is by spending five hours with her at her house or “yours”. The five hour session costs $500 and up to five people can attend, the time is used to discuss whatever you want to discuss. http://www.ashtreepublishing.com/bookshop/your-day.php
To speak with Susun you are welcome to phone her free Tuesday night phone hotline, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Eastern time, 845-246-8081, call May through October. She does not have internet to be able to correspond through email. Each person who calls in gets about fifteen minutes of free consultation.
Here is an excerpt from one of Susun’s books on bladder infections,

Even though the book is on menopause, the information on bladder infections will apply to men and non-menopausal women as well. Below is the most useful parts of the article copied into this email:
~ Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva ursi) is an old favorite for strengthening the bladder and ending chronic silent bladder infections. I prefer a hot water infusion of the dried leaves, but know women who have successfully used cold water infusions, tinctures, even vinegars. A dose is 1 cup/125 ml of infusion; 10-30 drops of tincture; 1 tablespoonful/15 ml of vinegar; 3–6 times a day initially, then 1–3 times a day for 7–10 days. In very chronic cases, eliminate all forms of sugar (even fresh fruit, fruit juice, and honey) for a month as well.
~ Yarrow is a urinary disinfectant with a powerful antibacterial action and an astringent effect. A small cup of the infusion, once or twice a day for 7–10 days, tones up weak, lax bladder tissues. Combines well with uva ursi. Results may be felt within hours.
~ In my experience, Echinacea purpurea and E. augustifolia are as effective as antibiotics in clearing bladder infections and do not contribute to vaginal yeast. (See Step 5b.) A dose is 1 drop echinacea tincture per 2 pounds/1 kilo body weight. (For 150 pound/70 kilo person, use 75 drops or three dropperfuls.) In acute cases, I give the dose every 2 hours. As the infection clears, I lengthen the amount of time between doses until I'm down to 1–2 doses a day, which I continue for another 2–10 weeks.
