INGREDIENTS: Although these home remedies work, they are in no way
a substitute for a doctor! There are many forms of bladder infections &
all can be very painful. Most people are self aware & can feel one coming
on & if seeing a doctor isnt an option at the time there are some cheap
options. OTC Cystex can be found for under $10.00 & relieves the pain, while
taking that you should be drinking tons & tons of H20 as well as cranberry
juice to clean your bladder out. Another OTC is AZO which works in the form
of a natural med that works in your bladder for pain & makes it easier to
urinate to "flush" the bad stuff out.There are many things you should
NOT do as well. Coffee intake as well as any form of sugar can create more of
a mess down there. Bubble baths,baths in
general can cause more inflammation & infection,tight underwear should be
avoided as well:wear cotton!!! Cranberry pills,juice & cranberries are great
ways to help & prevent these infections. Maintaining these healthy habits
can prevent people from the bladder infection experiance if they focus on what
there bodies need not what we want.... Don't hold your urine, if you gotta go-
GO!!!!

COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: USA
INGREDIENTS: Vitamin C, Acidophilus and Water
INSTRUCTIONS: Take large doses of Vitamin C periodically through the day with
lots of water. The Vitamin C kills the bad bacteria in your urine and will make
you
urinate more frequently. I take the 1000 mg. 3 times a day. Take Acidophilus
to replace with good bacteria.Also, very important is to never use soap to wash
your genital area and forget about the medicated douches etc. All it does is
create a worse problem.I used to get bladder infections all the time. My doctor
was ready to
put me in the hospita.lto run tests on why I was getting them so frequently.
I read this in a Nutritional HealingBook and have not had one in about 12 years
now.

Instructions: In reading through these helpful lists, I oftentimes
come across solutions, but don't have the product suggested. So here is a list
of things to try that have worked for me. If you don't have one, try
using one of the others. My bladder infections usually come on during the weekend
when it is hard to get in to see the doctor or to the store (due to lack of
money), so I keep this list handy for episodes and use what I have at the time.
If it gets bad though, I would suggest the doctor still.
ASPARAGUS or SPINACH: 1 can per day
BAKING SODA dissolved in water or ALKA SELTZER (don't take
if you have high blood pressure)
CRANBERRY PILLS
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR: 2 tsp per glass with a tsp. of HONEY (An
old wive's tale told to me by my grandmother before she died. The vinegar and
honey reset your system, much like a computer needs rebooting. It works.)
PARSLEY
CANTHARIS (Homeopathic Pills that can be bought online)
CASHEWS/ALMONDS
RHUBARB
BEER/ACIDOPHOLOUS (sometimes yeast infections are part of bladder
infections, these will help those. However, this is not an invite to "party"
as the key is moderation!)
LOTS OF WATER!! (go swimming!)Most importantly, PEE as often as you can (even
though you already have
the urge!)When you go to the doctor and get a prescription, most often they
prescribe a sulpher product. The key is to eat foods that have sulpher in them
(Asparagus, spinach, cashews/almonds, Rhubarb, dark greens, baking soda/Seltzer,
etc.)and acid (Cranberries, Lemons, Rhubarb, Blueberries, etc.).Some Pharmacies
also sell sulphur pills over the counter. You will probably get diarhea from
taking any amount of these or a combination thereof. CHEESE, glorious CHEESE,
works great in binding you back up.
Hope this helps.

DO NOT CONSUME WITHIN 2 HOURS OF TAKING ANTIBIOTICS.
Ingredients: Lots of purified

Cranberry
Juice
At college I drank every caffeinated and sweetened drink imaginable (and to
be honest, I didn't use the bathroom unless it was absolutely an emergency,
Hey, it was a community bathroom shared by twenty girls, and let's just say
it wasn't very hygienic). So, I am sure you can understand as to how I woke
up one Saturday morning with a bladder (urinary tract) infection. Well, I was
in pain for hours. Finally, I ran out of the bathroom, went to my room, broke
into my case of Dasani water, took two bottles, and ran back to the bathroom.
I guzzled both bottles; less than thirty minutes later, I felt much better and
was able to stay out of the bathroom longer than five minutes. I just kept drinking
water and I was fine. After that I drank a glass of cranberry juice a day for
a few days and felt right as rain...now I am back to the soda! Of course, I
still drink plenty of water and (occasionally) cranberry juice. I hope this
helps.

Instructions: You can get mannose sugar at some health food stores. If you cannot
buy it at the store do not let them sell you concentrated cranberry as this
did not work for me at all. You can order it over the internet.
I always keep a bottle in the house. All you need is a 1/4 teaspoon 3 or 4 times
a day. The pain should after a few hours. I struggled with bladder infections
from age of 16 to 42. I heard Dr. Merry on his
radio show talk about it. He used to run charity hospital in New Orleans.

Instructions: Try to find Pau D'Arco tea in loose leaf. It is the inner bark
of a tree that grows in South America so it will look kind of weird. Pour boiling
water over a tablespoon and let it steep for about 15 minutes. Drink this 3
times a day in conjunction with other remedies. This works for a variety of
illnesses as Pau D'Arco has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

Instructions: I have been getting bladder infections for 11 years, usually once
a month. If I do not take medication within ten minutes of feeling one coming
on, you might as well take me to the hospital. My siter-in-law made me a cup
of room
temperature water and a spoon full of instant coffee (needs to dissolve). It
is really gross but is took the pain away with 5 min. I always have instant
coffee handy and a glass of water (the water to be able to drink the coffe).
Make sure to drink the coffee at one time, do not sip.

Lots of cranberry juice
Instructions: Take 2 Uristat (which will turn your urine red) in the morning
and 2 more before dinner w/ a glass of water. Make sure to drink plenty of water
and cranberry juice throughout the day. The pills will relieve the pain associated
w/ bladder infections, but it will not cure the infection. My doctor prescribed
Levaquin, which worked very well. Hope these remedies are helpful. I know what
it's like to have a bladder infection, and it's not fun!

Instructions: This remedy honestly works! I do not know why it works so well
- but you will be amazed! You will need 5 cans of asparagus (any brand). Just
consume a can a day - juice and all for five days. The bladder infection will
usually be gone before the end of the 5 days!! It has been over ten years since
I discovered this remedy and now I very rarely even get a bladder infection
- although I used to fairly regularly - but now even whne I feel the slight
twinge of one coming on - I just eat a can of asparagus for a day or maybe two
and it is GONE!!

Ingredients: Cranberry Tablets and Vitamin C tabs
Instructions: You can now buy cranberry tablets, instead of drinking nasty cranberry
juice. A bottle will cost you about 7 bucks but its well worth it. The instrutions
will say to take 1-2 tabs2-3 times a day. When I feel a bladder infection coming
on ,you have to start treating early, I take 8 three times a day for the first
day and then 6 the next two days three times a days, and then I go to 3 three
times a day for the next 4 days. Your urine will smell really bad but It works.
I keep a bottle of cranberry tablets on hand for quick treatment.Its totally
safe and effective. Pop a couple of vit-c tabs everyday while using this remedy
for extra effectiveness and you can't lose.

Ingredients: CYSTEX an OTC drug
Instructions: CYSTEX is an over the counter urinary pain relief medicine. It
costs about $7 at walmart. It does not turn you pee red! It's not the best for
PAIN (try AZO for that) but CYSTEX contains an ingrediant METHENAMINE. It's
a lower dose of it, but it is also what a doctor would prescribe. Take it for
a few days (even if pain goes away and you feel normal again) because the METHENAMINE
is really good at killing the bacteria.

Instructions: I know this remedy is already on this site, but as someone who
has a body that is highly suseptable to infection (example: I get a couple of
bladder infections or sinus infections a month) I SWEAR BY alkaseltzer! I guess
that the asprin in alkaseltzer is an anti-pyruviate (anti-puss) which clears
the infection up before it can cause too
much damage.

K-B herb or a herbal diuretic
Instructions: These herbs are available at most drug stores and health food
stores. Just take 2 tablets twicea day and your infection should clear up really
quickly. Continue taking for 2-3 days after symptoms disappear. (K-B works better
than the diuretic, but either
one will do the trick).Drinking cranberry juice will also help. This remedy

when you're afflicted with a bladder

excellent diuretic.
Hi There I suffer from reaccuring bladder infections and here are some useful home remedies.
Parsely Leaf Tea
Take a bunch of parsely leave and boil in water for a few minutes. Let stand until cool then drink. You want to make about a litre of this stuff and drink the whole thing. Don't add sugar!! This remedy came from my aunt who has been using this method for over 20 years.
Home Made Cranberry Juice
Take a bag of fresh or frozen cranberries and boil them in water (they will fall apart). Cool and drink. Don't Add Sugar!!! This remedy is also useful for people with kidney problems as well. I hope that these home remedies will be as usefull to someone as they are to me.

just drink a lot of water and plenty of cranberry juice and it will clear right
up, if your infection isn't too severe.
