Protruding Bladder (Prolapsed Bladder/Cystocele) – Dr. Joel Wallach Call-In Segment
In this InfoHealth News segment, Dr. Joel Wallach takes a call from Carrie about her 78-year-old mother (5’0″, 95 lbs). She is recovering from COVID and has a protruding/prolapsed bladder with discharge and frequent nighttime issues. She has followed a gluten-free, soy-free diet for about eight years and takes several Youngevity products (90 Essentials, Glucogel, Killer Biotic, and MSM).
Dr. Wallach discusses possible contributing factors, including occasional low-back pain/sciatica (noting that internal branches of the sciatic nerves affect bladder muscles), intermittent vertigo/balance problems, and what he describes as osteoporosis of the skull that could affect the spinal cord as it exits the foramen magnum. He attributes the issues largely to nutritional deficiencies (including effects on bone marrow after COVID).
Recommendations discussed in the call:
- Continue MSM and add a healthy bone-and-joint pack plus vitamin D3 for absorption.
- Consider Pro Joint Effect (a couple twice daily).
- Elevate the foot of the bed about 4 inches (using a 4×4 beam or similar) so the feet are higher than the head, allowing gravity to help reposition the bladder.
- Use supportive pads, belts, or similar products (available at farm/supply stores) during the day for support while sitting, walking, or being active.
The segment also includes promotional material for Youngevity products such as Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 and Ultimate Microbiome, plus brief motivational clips about the business.
