Urinary Tract Infections

For The Treatment of Lower & Upper UTIs: D-Mannose is a naturally occurring, 100% bio-active simple sugar that is a pure natural stereo isomer of glucose, which supplements the naturally occurring mannose produced by our bodies but which for many of us is not enough. D-Mannose does not kill any of our body’s cells or disrupt our natural micro flora, instead it attracts only to the e-coli which has been displaced into our urinary tract system and then proceeds to coat the bladder wall. It is then washed away during urination. D-mannose is a pure natural stereo isomer of glucose, which supplements the naturally occurring mannose produced by our bodies but which for many of us is not enough.

D-mannose has no known side effects, or drug interactions and can be used by adult’s children and pets. It is 100% safe to be taken frequently over extended periods of time. It is safe for diabetics. D-Mannose can be dissolved in tea, water, juice or low fat milk but do NOT take it with acidic drinks such as cranberry, orange or grapefruit. Do NOT urinate for up to 90 minutes after taking in order to concentrate the D-Mannose in the bladder. Use between one and eight teaspoons a day – more for greater body weight or degree of symptoms.

News: Several drug companies have recently banded together to lobby the US government to have d-Mannose labelled as a drug - medical oppression continues unabated in the USA.

Maastricht flag

Every country has a couple of cities that are under appreciated, in the Netherlands I would say that these are Groningen in the north and Maastricht here in the south.

I love Maastricht, never have I felt more comfortable than I have here. It is a city of some 115,000 people but it feels like a small town, it is busy and bustling but yet you never feel hurried by it. It never blugeons the senses, rather it carefully nurtures them. Due to its long and varied history it has a very cosmopolitan feel that can been seen in its architecture, the very bones of the city. Situated at the southern most point of The Netherlands, within a narrow stretch of land between the German and Belgian borders, lies Maastricht, the capital of the province of Limburg and our home town. It is the oldest city in the Netherlands, originally being settled by invading Romans. It’s proximity to the neighbouring countries means that the inhabitants can usually speak French, German and English as well as Dutch and their own dialect of Limburgs. We over 1450 monuments that are protected by law. Because of its heritage value, the whole of Maastricht city centre has been declared a ‘protected area’ and we are fortunate and privileged to live within this beautiful area. It is not just the visible city that is a fascinating adventure because beneath our feet are some 20,000 tunnels and caves carved out of the soft marl stone.

This site has a number of pages devoted to Maastricht and some two hundred photos, we hope you will take a few minutes to explore our city.

• Introduction to Maastricht
• The History Of Maastricht
• Maastricht, Our Home
• Maastricht Carnival

As you have seen our site is back up and running and is very rapidly being built out. There is still a lot of work to be done but we are very please with the progress so far. We will be adding more and more pages over the next few weeks, though you may still come across the odd blank page for a little while, bear with us, we are not web professionals !

Happy Holiday, Love Nina.

Dutch Bicycle Culture Page Ready

There are a lot of bicycles in Holland, we have one for every man woman and child in the country, that is some 16 million bicycles!.

From birth we are brought in close contact with our bikes. They are often part of a cramped city centre apartments furniture, so that baby grows up playing around them. Sometimes women even all but give birth on their bikes, given that some will cycle home even when in the early stages of labour. When my cousin Kaatje gave birth to her little Thijs twelve hours after the birth she and her little one were on a bike off to visit her parents three kilometres away, so as you see from the day a Dutch child is born it travels by bike. I can still recall being a tiny tot in the handle bar seat facing my mother and laughing as the wind blew her long hair about her as we sped through the woods of Arnhem. As I got a little older I graduated to the back seat before getting my own bike beside her on the cycle lanes. The bike is simply bred into us.
