bladder infections, etc.

[Guest guest]

I had many uti's and bladder infections as a teenager and young adult.

I tried it the doctor's way, and then, finally found some things that

helped me.

Before I gave up tea(regular, that is) I would drink a lot of that if I

felt one coming on. I have since moved on to drinking lots of water and

fresh juices for myself. The fresh carrot juice sure makes me pee, lots.

I have over the years used cranberry juice. Strong and unsweetened. One

of my dogs got a lovely bladder infection(she went to a dog show,

stressed, and wouldn't drink), had strong urine, with blood in it. I

gave her cranberry juice for several days, and it all cleared up.

I wonder if buying fresh or frozen cranberries and juicing or putting

them in a smoothie would work?

As to addressing the cause, yep, that sure helps.

The more fresh raw I eat, the more smoothies and even fresh juice(I

juice veggies mostly, " when " I do it) and of course lots of water, the

less I have. And... keeping going to the bathroom and NOT holding it,

makes a whale of a difference. Stress is a big factor as well.
