Natural Treatments for a UTI
Although natural treatments do exist, it is important to be supervised by a naturopathic doctor or other qualified health practitioner. The risk is that if the infection is not properly treated, it may spread to the kidneys and cause a kidney infection, even though a person no longer has symptoms. It must be completely eliminated.
Cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon or vacinnium oxycoccus) - cranberry juice has been used for more than a century for the prevention and treatment for urinary tract infections. Evidence suggests that it is the antioxidant flavonoids called proanthocyanins that prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract.
study published in the Canadian Journal of Urology (2002) compared pure cranberry juice, cranberry extract tablets, and placebo in 150 women at high risk for infections. The juice and tablets both significantly reduced UTIs. Of the two, the tablets were the most effective. The National Institutes of Health and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Health recently launched a $2.6 million dollar initiative for research into cranberries.
Cranberry juice should ideally be unsweetened, especially if it is used by people with suppressed immune systems. The unsweetened juice can often be found in health food stores.
Uva Ursi - (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) - Also called bearberry, uva ursi is an antimicrobial against e coli, arbutin. 1 tab in cup of boiling water.1 cup 3 times day. Use tea, tincture, or capsule. Compounds arbutin, methylarbutin. Uva ursi may turn urine green.
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) - Goldenseal is an antimicrobial. It is found in capsule, tincture or tea form.
Other herbs to consider:
Marshmallow root (Althea officinalis)
Buchu (Barosma betulina) - an antiseptic and diuretic.

take the AZO pills from the drugstore. I've been having the same thing for about a month but my problem is that I can't afford to go to the Dr. I think i'm gonna give in next week. but really you should go to the Dr. because it could be something else...like an STD or kidney stone...so get it checked and get medicine...infections spread and you don't want it to end up being worse..

I hate taking pills too, but they have these cranberry pills that release the acids in cranberry into your system to help clear up the infection. It works great I just used them last week, that and drink a whole thing of cranberry juice in one day and and it will clear up in like 2 days. You can buy them at any wallgreens or wallmart, riteaid,etc..

Get exam. It may be a urinary bladder infection that has spread to the kidneys and it may end in renal failure (Kidney failure). You need some labs. Antibiotics etc. Your mistrust of MD's has led you to your problems.

I had UTI's when I was 3 yrs old I had to have shots in my legs. They were so bad that i couldn't walk because the medicine numbed the muscles. I would stand there and cry for hours because i couldn't walk. So taking a pill is not so bad.

Try some 'organic' cranberries. eat about 2 cups a day ( a cup is 250 ml) They are very sour.. but worth it. Your UTI will clear up.
If you cant brave the taste, then take them in pill form. they can be gotten from any health food store.
Good luck

Just take the pills. The doctor knows what he is doing. I am sure you are not the first infection he has treated.

You will look real 'cool' with that plastic bag hanging on your G-string on your waist full of pee. Maybe you can find some kinky friends to help play let's dump the pee bag!!!!
Take you pill and learn to type.
