I see no indication that that alleged periodical is peer reviewed, and it seems to me more of a supplier of shock stuff than anything else. My GP says the only time there are bacteria in my urine is when I have a UTI, and in fact the presence of bacteria in my urine is what defines a UTI. So, who is correct, my GP a genuine licensed MD, or a supposed periodical nobody ever heard of?
Lost Sheep, as far as I am concerned you are correct and you comments should stand.
OK now, everybody go ahead and start calling me names.
Dave, I can only comment on what I read. I did not call a doctor to check the story. My biggest objection is being called out publically rather than a PM where I can check my facts and correct myself. I believe this is common courtesy and respect for all forum members. Except for defending myself, you will never see me do that to anyone. Meanwhile, I am going to do some more research on the subject. Did you notice they said "Evann Hilt of Loyola University of Chicago reported
May 18, 2014 at a conference of the American Society for Microbiology" Authors of the report have some pretty impressive titles... E. E. Hilt1, K. McKinley2, E. R. Mueller3, L. Brubaker3, P. C. Schreckenberger2, A. J. Wolfe1;
1Dept. of Microbiol., Loyola Univ. of Chicago, Maywood, IL, 2Dept. of Pathology, Loyola Univ. of Chicago, Maywood, IL, 3Dept. of Obstetrics/Gynecology & Urology, Loyola Univ. of Chicago, Maywood, IL . Notice it says bacteria in
LOW LEVELS for people without a UTI.
