Oregano oil has been proven to kill mrsa. Its a natural antibiotic. I use doterra brand just because their oils are more concentrated than other brands I've tried. I use oregano in an empty gel cap- 2 drops. I also have used lemongrass oil and rosemary. Rosemary helps with back pain when having kidney problems. :) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43118520 I think I am developing one and cannot take antibiotics. I am recovering and currently under treatment for clostridium difficile intestinal infection, caused by.. antibiotics. so, i cant take another antibiotic.. at least for a couple of years, without MASSIVE risk of relapsing or turning this into a very very serious infection. The medicine I am on for the c.diff right now is Vancomycin, and this does not treat UTi type infections. I had previously been on Flagyl, which did not kill off my infection, and kinda wondering if that triggered it. I am not even sure if this is a UTI. just REALLY bad timing for this!!!!! Cranberry Juice only treats UTI symptoms, not the bacteria. So, I am wanting to pursue this the natural way. I should get one of those urine test strips to find out for sure. I do think I have had a few minor UTI's in the past and they just went away on their own, but I have no clue. I have loads of kefir which I have been drinking to help replenish my destroyed good gut flora.. and I know that can also help in yeast infections, so... wondering if that could help if I started taking even more? Suggestions? Cranberry juice is supposed to work but I don't know if it does. |
GA mom User ID: 22914837 United States 07/15/2013 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It just seems to be near the urethra. Am female. I noticed about 3 weeks ago a little scratchy/burning feeling around there for a couple of days, on and off.. and when I peed. Then it went away. Now, 3 days ago, it came back.. and feels scratchy. No idea why. I also was not drinking enough water the past few weeks. Its more scratchy then burn. But a couple of times after peeing, it felt like it was up in there. Very vague feeling. No sharp pains. Nothing like that. Just feels irritated. Up inside though. Urine seems normal color. No bladder pain. I wondered if perhaps if it was all the colon pressure and issues I had been having, but, this is the urethra.. would make more sense if it was the vagina or something in that case. But yeah. I had this happen a couple years ago, too. was worse than this, though. It went away on its own. No clue what it was. I am not even entirely sure it is the urethra. Stuff can radiate and referred sensations, so.. who knows. Sounds more like a yeast infection than a UTI. Different things. No idea what to do for the yeast though. AZO Cranberry from the drugstore works well to prevent UTI and help recover from them. Also, Diet Coke causes UTIs. Haven't had one since getting off the Diet Coke and used to get a UTI every other month. |

Stuff can radiate and referred sensations, so.. who knows. With all the antiboitics, you likely have a yeast infection. I always ask for fluconazole (Diflucan) when taking antibiotics. You may need to see a gynacologist. Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? (Gal. 4:16) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26300532 United States 07/15/2013 09:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been plagued with these, these are items i've used: Urva usa - drops work great with water boil parsley strong put in boillion drink asparagus, also drink water with boullion colladial silver, (use only once in a while but works) Grapefruit Seed Extract drops or caplets don't over use. Thing's i have heard but not tried baking soda (be careful check your ph with this) real lemon water Antibiotics won't work after a while, so you almost have to try something alternative, there was a formula of drops i used that worked the best had dandelion/urva usa/juniper was called lights of something or another. |

But if it is increasing, AZO and true cranberrry juice, juice cocktail is useless. Stay in touch with your gyn, they know extra stuff. They know the good stuff. |

cree8iv User ID: 38498073 United States 07/15/2013 10:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I use to suffer from UTIs for years. What helped me was to blend whole, organic cranberries in a blender with water and ACV. I'd drink throughout the day. In addition to the cranberry drink I'd sip hot water infused with three garlic cloves and honey...when I finished the tea I would eat the garlic cloves. Hard core, I know, but it worked and never have had a UTI since. |
