sharon,

no, i have not used it but knew someone (in 1997) who used it quite often when

she got uti symptoms and she swore by it!

i googled and came up with these sites: (be sure to read all of the posts and

then make up your own mind)

when i got my very first uti, sharon, i did not know what it was. i didn't know

i had one. i had no idea of the sypmtoms, even. i just started peeing really

often and the second i got done peeing, my body signaled me i had to do it

again! it was frustrating but i blew it off and applied that symptom to my MS.

about a week later i had such bad, screaming pain inside my thigh when i tried

to take a step (and i don't walk much and without holding onto something) that i

asked hubby to take me to the er. i knew something was wrong.

the er doctor's asked me if i had blood in my urine, to which i replied " no, "

because i hadn't seen any blood. (you can't really see it, lol. it's not like

it's separated from the urine, lol) they had me take a pee test first thing and

it came back with blood in the urine and bacteria. my first learning

experience with uti's.

i got uti's regularly (2-3 a year) over the next couple of years and, after my

first one, just started going to my doctor's office at the first signal/sign.

finally, one of the pa's told me to increase my daily vitamin c and drink lots

of water every day. i thought i already drank a bunch of water (living in

phoenix will make you thirsty, lol).

now i drink even more water and take 500mg of chewable vitamin c 3 times a day

and i've not had a uti for a year or more. once in a while when i get a *twinge*

of what i *think* might be a uti, lol, i drink a bottle of unsweetened, regular

old cranberry juice. NOT ocean spray cocktail but the real thing. it's

expensive ($6? maybe) but cheaper than a trip to the urgent care, my doctor's or

the antibiotics.

I'm going to look for that kind of cranberry juice when I go to the store next. I think you said it was Knudsen's brand, right?hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
