1. Juices for Kidney and Bladder Troubles: Cucumber & parsley, dandelion, spinach.
2. Cabbage Leaves: Applied to an infected wound, ulcer, or oozing eczema should be layered like roof shingles, allowing secretions to drain between the layers. When treating lumbago, joint pain, or various afflictions of the nerve or bladder, poultices of cabbage leaves bring rapid relief. A poultice is prepared as follows: Boil for 20 minutes 2 to 4 cabbage leaves and two whole chopped onions with 3 or 4 handfuls of bran and a little water. After evaporation of the water, place the poultice on gauze and apply hot for one or two hours, or even for the whole night. (Never apply heat to a painful abdomen. Only the physician can properly diagnose the cause of abdominal pain, and the application of heat to appendicitis or infection of the ovary may be harmful.).
3. Vegetables to Eat for Bladder Ailments: Cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, spinach, summer squash, turnip greens.
4. In Making Our Food Our Medicine: Remember the usual remedy for kidney, bladder, and edema is to make at least two quarts of a strong parsley tea and drink copiously. If the urine is suppressed drink one half to one teacupful, hot, every hour.
Testimonials:
1. Alfalfa: Frank Bower conducted many interesting experiments with Alfalfa. Three hundred soldiers at Sawtelle, California, used the Alfalfa tea with remarkable improvement in bladder, prostate and other problems.
2. Dr. Christopher's Kidney Formula: (White Mallow) Almost a month ago I was having a problem with my bladder (burning on urination, etc.) In order to avoid spending money on a physician which I didn't have, I went to the health food store and asked what would be good for my aliment. It was suggested that I try KB Combination and garlic capsules. They were out of KB so I bought some garlic capsules. I also took Vitamin C and drank large quantities of water. Unfortunately it must have been too late for these remedies. I was forced to go to a night clinic and they prescribed an antibiotic. I must admit that I didn't take them faithfully, but finally felt that they had cured me. A few weeks later it flared up again. I had had quite a few drinks on a Sunday and the next day at work I began to have severe pains in the region of my bladder. I left work momentarily and walked across the street to the Blue Chip Nutrition Health Food Store. I inquired about the KB Combination and they had it in stock. I started taking two capsules three times a day. My pain was so bad I had to leave work early and go home. I took aspirin, a pain pill, a lot of water and laid down with a heating pad on my abdomen. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital the pain was so bad. Anyway, I toughed it out till morning, and much to my amazement, I was miraculously cured. I couldn't believe it. Anyway, I have been taking your formula ever since then and will continue to do so as a preventive measure. I know my problem is not drinking enough water and I also indulge occasionally in too much alcohol

First off, pay attention to those that say get anitbiotics. I had my bladder infection for the summer and I was in pain...My bladder spasm for the reason of diet. Do not take in cranberry juice, sugar, carbs, citrus, bananas. They all irritate the bladder. This I learned from a web site. Ok. You go to the doctors and he does test for infection from your urine specimen. It comes back negative which means no infection. That is what happened to me this summer. Then you get tested for diabetes. It came back negative. I was left to suffer. I have dealt with cystitis for 34 years. My first experience was a week after I was married. The doctor gave me antibiotics and did MICROSCOPIC study or slide. I was fortunate enough to listen to a hypocondriac who had tried alot for cystitis and she recommended baking soda and water. The reason I had cystitis and did not realize it is bacause I have not had it for at least twelve years. When I put two and two together and came up with cystitis, I used the baking soda and cleaned up my diet of sugar. It has helped. Good Luck

Been there, done that. Drink a few glasses of cranberry juice, and water throughout the day. It might also be a good idea to get some wet wipes for when you urinate, just to make sure everything is squeaky clean down there.

You don't. You can reduce the symptoms by drinking lots of fluids, especially cranberry juice and taking Ibuprofen or Aleve for the pain and to help to decrease the inflammation.
The only way you're going to cure it is to go to a doctor and take the antibiotics they prescribe for you.
If you don't take antibiotics, the bacteria will continue to multilpy and you run the very real and serious risk of the infection going up your ureter into one of your kidneys. If that happens, you'll most likely be hospitalized and treated with IV antibiotics.
So, the best course of action would be to go to the doctor.

Oh, don't try to. You need antibiotics or it will only get worse. You don't want to mess around with that type of infection because you could end up with a total hysterectamy if you mess around and get so infected it ruins your organs. Be sure to eat alot of yogurt with the antibiotics. I get urinary tract infections from the medicine and by eating yougurt it helps to avoid the pain of the infection. GO TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY. You are the only one who will be in alot of pain if you don't. Also drink lots of cranberry juice. It is a cleaning agent for women and helps to clean out the kidneys and liver.

Drink a lot of water and cranberry juice for a week, this should help your body clear this up.
I'd still see a doctor if this doesn't work in a week, however.
