So what do you recommend for someone with an overactive bladder like my brother?

Mine was Red. I went to the ER right away and found out that I had Stage 3 Kidney Cancer. I had my left kidney removed and so far, the cancer hasn't returned. I need to get checked at least once a year. Stage 3 Kidney Cancer has a 53% chance to live 5 years. I'm at 1 and 6 months since surgery so we'll see how it goes the next few years. So, if you have blood in your urine you can't waste any time to get it checked and if Cancer Surgery. Another few weeks or months could change it from an early stage 3 to a late stage 3 or stage 4.

My husband drinks beet juice and was super freaked out when it turned his pee a reddish tint the first time. You should do research on cases of colored sweat.

I was just coming to say this. My sister S loves beets and had quite a few with dinner. I can't remember how much later (I was in early elementary school) but she came running into the kitchen crying, "Mommy! Mommy! I'm peeing blood!" Cue my youngest sister, who was still in a high chair, saying, "It's probably her period". Talk about double takes. And it was just the beets.

Omg, thank you soooo much for saying that not everyone needs to drink 8 cups of water a day! I did that for about 6months, forcing myself to drink that much even though I wasn’t thirsty. I was peeing every 30min 😔😳 and my urine was clear. After those 6months I got extreme panic attacks and anxiety that lasted about a year!! I started adding electrolytes to my water and drinking only when thirsty. After about a year, slowly the anxiety subsided and the multiple a day panic attacks stopped. I think by forcing myself to drink that much water each day flushed out lots of electrolytes from my body and that’s why I had such terrible symptoms

8 cups is not even that many

I'm surprised you didn't cover what is probably most common, cloudy urine. As you pointed out normal healthy pee is clear and light yellow. I learned the hard way that cloudy urine is an indication of a urinary tract infection. My elderly mother is prone to UTIs caused by the E.coli bacteria. Since I have to help her on and off the toilet, I would notice most of her infections by the appearance of her pee in the toilet bowel. If it was cloudy she had an infection. I would then place an urine collection hat on the toilet to collect a sample to take to her doctor's office. The problem I have had with my mother when she has an infection, is that after taking a big pee in the morning her bladder would kind of lock up for rest of the day until bedtime. I finally wised up and placed the hat on the toilet the first thing in the morning. The other problem my mother has is that she is allergic to penicillin, so her doctor would prescribe a cephalosporin antibiotic (Cefprozil, Cefdinir, Cefuroxime) and Ciprofloxacin. One time somehow I did not catch her infection in time and her urine had a milky like appearance. I took the sample to her doctor's office and later that day her doctored called me to say my mother should go to the hospital, so my mother took an ambulance ride to the ER. Her UTI had become septic, the E.coli bacteria was in her bloodstream and her kidneys and lungs were infected. Her blood pressure was unstable and at one time had dropped to 60/30. The ER doctors were expecting her to pass, or at the very least her kidneys would be so damaged she would have to go on dialysis. The ER doctors kept pumping Cefprozil into her. By the next morning her vital signs had stabilized and over the next few days her kidneys fully recovered their function, and she went home. A 95 year old women is not expected to survive this severe an infection. About 7 months after my mother's hospitalization she had an infection that was resistant to first Cefprozil and then Cefuroxime. Her doctor then prescribed Ciprofloxacin which cured the infection. My mother now has UTIs that are resistant to cephalosporin antibiotics. Her doctor now is prescribing Ciprofloxacin for her UTIs, and she is on a prophylaxis antibiotic called Nitrofurantoin Macro and thankfully it has significantly reduced the incidence of UTIs.

I take D-Mannose with Cranberry (it’s a pill with both combined) and find that helps so much! As I try to avoid antibiotics as much as possible because as you said, your body becomes resistant. Hope that helps! And of course I drink lots and lots of water 🤍

Thank you. It was because of this video I realized I had problems. So it was at morning and After it came reddish brown cola coloured I thought maybe my periods was irregular as it had been only 2 days after my cycle finished. But later when I went again I saw it was then Red. After I began to have severe stomache and vomits. So I went to the doctor and had a MT scan and found out I had kidney stones but it was gone. And thanks to the scan, I found I had a small cyst in my ovaries and I also had umbilical hernia. So, Always be sure to see a doctor before it worsens

I found Sebi's mucus comments highly interesting, because over the years I have recently noticed that certain products (for example, dairy--even if powdered) create mucus in my throat after eating or drinking it. So, I will definitely research mucus and the products that cause it. As to Sebi saying that acidity is problematic, some people claim that an acidic gut helps with digestion of food especially for those of us who have a slow metabolism. So, I have to hear more on that from Sebi's viewpoint. Unfortunately, the truth of his claims can only be proven by trying the so-called diet yourself or witnessing someone's weekly in-person/video changes. These days, word of mouth (testmonies) alone is totally useless since liars and fakers abound on the internet.. A series of pictures (showing physical progress) can help prove effectivenes and long-term weight loss changes. Anything else (agility improvement, disease reversals, etc.) cannot be easily proven online. Thanks for the video; I did get some useful info from it. 🙂👍🏼

Thank you for starting out with the warning about finding blood in the urine. I am a 75 yr. old woman diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago with bladder cancer. (I was never a smoker, but did have chemo for breast cancer 18 years before; one of the chemo drugs I was given was Cyclophosphamide, my only identified risk factor). From my first symptom (hematuria) until diagnosis took 7 months. Everyone kept testing for a UTI (always negative!). My PCP referred me to a urologist 4 months after that first episode of hematuria, and the urologist's office dragged things out another 3 months before I had a cystoscopy. I finally ended up at the closest NCI hospital (1 1/2 hours away) and had a radical cystectomy (removal of the bladder) in Feb. '22. I'm now a bag lady, and can pee standing up! Best of all, using a night bag, I can sleep through the night without having to get up and pee every few hours!

Ohhh I wish this video was released a week ago. I’m pregnant and before pregnancy I wasn’t a big water drinker. I’ve been panicking about not getting enough and was drinking close to 80oz a day. Last week I woke up with 10/10 pain in my back that came as soon as I drank water. I went to the ER and the doctors diagnosed me with a stomach virus. I reviewed my own labs and realized I was over hydrated. When I provided a urine sample the ER doctor said my urine was crystal clear with no signs of infection. I suffered through so much pain until I started sipping water slowly throughout the day.

I called my doctor who sent me for a urine test right away. After the results came back I was sent to a urologist. I was lucky the cancer was caught early. Now I go for a yearly cystoscopy. Please if you see red in the toilet call your doctor right away. My urologist told me so many people ignore the sign.

5:25 - Commonly associated with turkey, yes. It should be noted though that despite turkey meat's high levels of tryptophan, the body cannot absorb almost all of it due to other competing amino acids present. Seeds and nuts should be more strongly associated, especially raw pumpkin seeds. Your body can actually use its tryptophan, especially since they contain fibre as well which helps with its uptake. Most people probably aren't getting enough, it is good to supplement.

I've checked it with my doctor because I so often heard I was drinking too much but my doc says I'm doing fine. I do tend to go for sports drinks and electrolyte drinks in summer as well, not just water, but I can easily drink 3-4 litres a day and that is normal for my body.

My mother had the same problem, in her case, cloudy urine and UTI’s from kidney stones. Twice, she went septic and had to be rushed to the hospital. She was one tough lady, because she passed visible stones only noting what she thought was a pinched sciatic nerve acting up! After that, I was sure to check her urine and for fever several times per day. She had a tube to relieve the left kidney until she took two sound wave treatments. They cleared right up and she lived until age 98.

This is so interesting and I don’t ever think about it

So the "frothy urine" isn't something that has come up in my studies when I was in school (at least in my program) it's only something I've observed while working :)

girl you are a genius thank you for sharing your wisdom

This is an excellent presentation.

Thank you loved all of it 😊

I normally have a marked preference for male presenters- The pitch and tone of their voice compared to female speakers however, I really enjoyed the sound of your voice! Perfect 👌

Same here! Very affected by the tone and frequency of a persons voice. Mostly tend to prefer the lower pitch of male voices. But this doctors voice sounds so good to my ears!😉

I really respect your work you do

So rocking cool! Thank you for the GREAT video!!

This was so interesting. Thanks for sharing. It is good to know that urine appearance could be something important to share with your doctor.

Wow, very amazing insight, thank you for sharing , learning a lot from your videos

I just found out that I have too much protein in my urine and, of course, on medicine for it now or until we can get back to normal levels. Love this information, Thank you!

@Violin MD I think the kidneys are just astonishing in how heard they work efficiently filtering the blood...a true wonder of nature. I really love hearing about very rare and fascinating cases. This would have to be one of your most interesting videos
