Hello everyone,
As some of you may know already, I have not been well since December 2023. Unfortunately, I had been struggling with a Chronic Urinary Tract Infection (CUTI) I have been on all sorts of different short courses of antibiotics and some worked better than others but didn’t clear my infection. Unfortunately, because of poor treatment the bacteria had become embedded in the wall of my bladder and for this to clear you need a long term treatment plan. I didn’t have much help from doctors as they didn’t have knowledge on how to treat an embedded infection so I had to go private to a CUTI specialist who put me on high dose antibiotics and Hiprex to try. After several months my symptoms got a bit better but I started to get side effects that were difficult to handle so I couldn’t keep going with the medication which was disappointing. I had developed Gastritis and stopped medication to heal my stomach but then the UTI worsened. This whole condition has made a big impact on my life and mental health. I work only part time and can’t do the things I enjoy anymore because of being in pain and having severe fatigue.
I am now looking into Phage Therapy as an alternative option for me.
Some History:
Phages were discovered to be antibacterial agents and were used in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia (pioneered there by Giorgi Eliava with help from the co-discoverer of bacteriophages, Félix d'Hérelle) during the 1920s and 1930s for treating bacterial infections.
Phages are incredibly diverse and exist everywhere in the environment, including in our bodies; in fact, humans contain more phages than human cells. Phages are naturally occurring viruses that attack and kill bacteria.
I will be getting this treatment at the Eliava Phage Therapy Center in late September. They have treated many patients who travel from parts of Europe and US to get treatment with them.
I have spoke to them about treatment options and they recommended that I need a custom phage for my E.coli bacteria and to have some further testing and investigations at the Centre
The local package costs 45,00 Euro
