I have a UTI help?

Question

Is there any way to get rid of a UTI (urinary tract infection) other than antibiotics? I know that cranberry juice helps, or does it cure it? And they make pain relief medicines over the counter for it, but they are not a cure, so is there any way because I don't have health insurance and I don't really want to go to the doctor.

Thanks.

Answer 3

I have tried everything that is out there over the past 10 years dealing with my constant uti's. The only thing that worked well enough everytime was d-mannose.

Answer 4

simply use cranberry whole fruit concentrate

Answer 5

Take cranberry juice capsules 3x daily, garlic capsules 3x daily, (garlic is a natural antibiotic) Vitamin C 500 mg every two to three hours, and drink LOTS of filtered water.  It takes longer than the Cipro and Pyridium the doc would prescribe, but it will work.

Answer 6

Drinking at least 16 ounces a day of cranberry or blueberry juice (not the sugar-sweetened variety) can have a preventative and therapeutic effect. These juices have antibiotic properties that interfere with the ability of bacteria to adhere to the bladder or urethral tissue. Choose a juice sweetened with apple or grape juice.

A naturopathic physician may prescribe that one of these herbal preparations be used 3 to 4 times per day during a urinary tract infection:

    * Goldenseal root – This herb has a long and well-documented history as a powerful antimicrobial agent. Use as a tea made from 1 tsp of dried herb per cup of hot water; in capsule form (1000 mg); or as a tincture (1 to 2 teaspoons in warm water).

    * Uva Ursi – Clinical research proves traditional use as an antiseptic with soothing and strengthening properties. Use as a tea made from 2 tsp of herb per cup of hot water; or as a tincture (1 to 2 teaspoons in warm water).

Other herbs to consider as tea:

    * Cleavers (Galium aparine) has a long history of use in treatment of urinary infections.

    * Marshmallow root (Althea officinalis) has very soothing demulcent properties. Best used in "cold infusion." Soak herb in cold water several hours, then strain and drink.

    * Buchu is a soothing diuretic and antiseptic for the urinary system.

    * Corn silk (Zea Mays) is a soothing diuretic.

    * Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is an astringent and mild diuretic with tissue-healing properties.

    * Usnea Lichen is very soothing and antiseptic.

Also be sure to drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily.

UTI's can get serious if not treated. Not to mention they are seriously painful!!! If it doesn't clear up in a day or so go to the doctor.  A visit to urgent care shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred dollars.

Answer 7

There is a natural sugar call D-Mannose that works wonders for UTIs.  It can be bought at most natural health stores.  

D-Mannose prevents e-Coli (the # 1 cause of UTIs) from sticking to the bladder.  Since it is not an antibiotic the e. coli cannot become resistant to it.  It can even be used daily as a preventative, if you get a lot of UTIs.
