Interesting information. Thanks 😊

What the Dr. fails to mention in this interview is what kind of method is she suggesting for using ozone to treat these infections. Is she suggesting using ozone gas or ozone water directly in the bladder via the urethra or via other methods, such as: IV, rectal insufflation, or vaginal insufflation? It would be great to know the best way to attack these embedded infections w/ ozone so we'd know what method to seek out.

honestly even as a straight non binary naturally born male, I really find that the label “person with a prostate” is a breakthrough in thinking. Way too often doctors who treat females will not consider male health and how it affects women or vice versa and it’s totally crazy. We have hormonal, behavioral, and anatomical differences but we have much more in common between us especially when we sleep in the same bed.

Thank you so much for all the info, especially for explaining how to use estrogen cream properly.

[@LiveUTIFree]

Research indicates that use of estrogen high in the vagina is also important, and Dr. Rachel Rubin covered this in her interview: th-cam.com/play/PLw4jZoKstjMn0Pmq20erq0g2Amj1Rbu52.html

Some practitioners indicate place high, and others say halfway is the optimal place for contacting estrogen receptors. This is confusing. @@LiveUTIFree
