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? i use a health product called "d-mannose" i prefer the NOW foods brand. i did spend 28 days taking cipro...dont waste your time with antibiotics like that.....has worked great for me . trust me You'll never know where its at until you learn where its from. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43414389 Colloidal silver mixed into a glass of cranberry juice works. ^^^^^THIS!!!!^^^^ I just saved 4 puppies with CS. "Superman Juice" is what we call it in our house. We use it for all KINDS of things. Great stuff! ;) Mixed with cranberry juice, you should be right-as-rain in a few days. I would suggest taking it for a while as a prophylactic too since UTI's are know to re-occur once you've had one. Can't hurt since no side-effects and you have work HARD to take too much CS. We do 10ppm for internal and 30ppm for external applications(first-aid). |

It may seem counterintuitive if it is hurting to pee, but diluting the urine helps with the bacteria count. Colloidal silver, I would drink a couple of 3 ounces to start, then an ounce each hour. That'll fix ya. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37469809 Canada 07/16/2013 01:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Stop acidic food (good advise to avoid sugar and more)! Sea salt - ok! Some sodium bicarbonate - ok. Lot of tea from corn silk (not too strong) - 2 l/day for 5 to 7 days. ---- Is about your own flora (bacterias, not viruses) and antibiotics will damage and worsen your health. No wheat bread (barley quinoa, more expensive but safe!) , no yeast, no meat, no alchohol, no sugar, np chocolate, no eggs, no diary products. Your immune system is too stressed by the lyfe style and got confused about good or bad bactrias, about action to take in the attempt of solving the issue. Is like an auto-immune syndrome. Good advise could find from some people with natural help. And remember - more liquids = less Potassium, so go ahead with cornsilk and bananas to compensate the loss and have a good balance of Sodium/Botassium amount in your body. |

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. The baking soda works for me if bladder infection. |
