Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Dried cranberries are the best. She should make them a regular part of her diet to keep uti¹s at bay. It will also help get rid of one.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Collodial silver should help. I agree that your mom should make a glass off cranberry juice part of her daily routine. She could add one cup to a quart of water and drink it throughout the day to avoid the sugar impact.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 It seems cranberries are pretty low in sugar. The taste is the most horrible thing in the world, it is so tart and non sugary. Besides that I read that it has to be a certain amount of the juice so that your urine reaches a certain acidity, I don't know if one cup spread out throughout the day would accomplish this. I am not sure though. I have been looking into urva ursi but then the question becomes: pill form that is standardized or liquid that is more easily absorbed. --- In , " Kathy Dickson " <kathy.dickson@...> wrote: > > Collodial silver should help. > > > > I agree that your mom should make a glass off cranberry juice part of her > daily routine.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Or the raw herb? The problem with consuming juice without the pulp is that you lose out on the fiber intended to slow the insulin release. I try not to drink any juice straight anymore.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Years ago my cat had a urinary infection so bad that it bled. I took him to the vet for lab tests and was given pills of some sort. It didn't work and I took him back one or two more times. I was not making enough to live on much less deal with this so I called the vets said I couldn't afford anymore and that I was going to have to put him down. He said that really all that was required was to make the bladder acid and a cheap easy way to do it was to sprinkle ascorbic acid (vitamin c) on his food until it stopped. It worked. Whenever I've felt an infection might be coming on, I've done the same for myself. No infections. On Apr 2, 2009, at 12:43 PM, Cray Fish wrote: It seems cranberries are pretty low in sugar.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 One of my UTI remedies is to drink 1 cup distilled water with 3 tbsp of lemon juice and 1 tsp baking soda throughout the day.

But if someone continues to have a regular occurrence of uti's, then they need to dig deeper, as something else is not right in the body. -- " What will you do, Burt, if your friend Ron actually gets elected President?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 That is why juice should be drunk with sea salt. Ray Peat says 'no pulp' but with sea salt to help with adrenalin rush.

Hey, First, i am in no way giving you medical advice. with that in mind: As an acupuncturist i have successfully treated many patients with uti over the years. herbs can knock it out very quickly and very effectively. there are a handful of formulas i draw from. which one will depend on the patient. if your mom develops a rapport with a reasonable acupunturist in her area, she can keep some herbs on hand for the future. that way she can nip any uti in the bud if/when one arises. and obviously rid herself of the one she has now. the really GREAT thing is that many of the chinese herbs used for uti also help treat yeast infections. therefore unlike antibiotics, there is no secondary problem that arises from yeast infections after the uti is gone. of course antibiotics can sometimes be a godsend. hope this info helps heath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I find that some vitamins or vitamin additives cause burning urine. I don't know which ones but seems like it might be B vitamins. So she may want to take a look at what vitamins she is taking and see if taking a vacation from them makes it better. There are some chewable cranberry supplements that are delicious and help me when I have problems like that. I've read some think that urinary tract infections may be autoimmune. DMSO is approved to treat cystitis and is supposed to be effective. In treatment it is put directly in the affected area but since it moves quickly through the body it may not be unreasonable to try it topically, like on the navel and see if it brings relief. > > I told my mom Cranberry juice but she said it only helped some and before she pays 11 dollars for another bottle of Organic Juice not from concentrate, she wants to know if there's anything else more effective. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks for all the suggestions. After I posted my question, I was reading a book on natural healing that actually said it's not the acidic affects of cranberry juice on the urine as I had read on the internet but it's the cranberry juices' affect of making the bacteria not adhere to the mucosa that helps the body fight infection. Who knows if this is right but I wanted to come back and share my research. She ended up taking urva ursi and I had read that it's the leaves vs. arbutin alone that is important to take. Also I read vitamin C is good and goldenseal.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 This is also the effect of taking a few grams of D-Mannose every few hours for a day. Clears up most UTIs.
