Urinary infection

I had not had a urinary tract infection for over 25 years...............

I was suffering the last 2 days and asked my pharmacist what to do since we have NO insurance.....

Did you know they have herbal cranberry pills??????????? They work very nicely...no doc visit. Dang take 6-8 of them a day with lots of water and there is a cure like drinking 2 gallons of Cranberry juice.

For you women......it is like eating yogurt for uteran infections

Let me tell you something else. Go to a health food store and ask for D-MANNOSE. It's a sugar (the same one in cranberry juice but MUCH more concentrated) and it'll help you faster than the juice.

It works because the bacteria which cause bladder infections love it! And they attach themselves to it and are flushed out of the body.

A lot of companies have products containing D-MANNOSE and they're not expensive and they really work!

Fricking cool......thanks. It must be like the bacteria in yogurt for intestinal and uterin infections. I did the cranberry pills all day - I took 8 instead of 6 and I feel much better.

D-MANNOSE - I will ask my pharmacist about that.

You're more likely to find it in a health food store. I don't know of any compounds which are widely sold in chains. My urologist hadn't heard of it until I found it on the internet and tried it. I collected information/studies, etc, for him and now he recommends it to patients.

Google D-Mannose.

I ALWAYS have it available now, take a spoonful once a day and .... no problems in months!

I don't have insurance and was not about to go to a doctor - unless it got REALLY BAD..........that is why I asked my pharmacist..............he suggested the cranberry pills instead of the 2 gallons of cranberry juice I was going to buy. So I appreciate your cure........there are a lot of herbal remedies.

I had not heard of the cranberry pills - THANK YOU for this information! I haven't had a bladder infection for a LONG time but when I was younger my mother made us flush our bladders with cranberry juice for several days and that use to work really well. Its great to know they develop a holistic pill in concentrated form - it makes it much easier than having to drink loads of cranberry juice

Thank you lulu for the additional information
