I have had a bladder infection for about a week. I have drank three big bottles of cleartract powder and it is not working. Do you know any other home remedies that may work
Yes! I'll tell you exactly what to do:
1. Stop using bottled Cramberry powder. Instead, buy frozen or natural cramberiies and powder them up in a blender. Don't add any sweetener, and use about 3 cups of water for 1/2 cup of cramberries. Drink 4-6 ounces 3-4 times a day, but not with meals. Should not drink any liquid with meals but 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after.
2. Do not eat any dairy at all. It will upset your pH balance in the blood, and will therefore accentuate your problem.
3. Coffe and vinegar, and soda will just make it worse.
4. Eat only fruits in the morning, but good amount (about 1.5-2 pounds).
5. Drink 2 cups of Uva Ursi & Horsetail tea daily. Sweeten it with a little honey.
6. Drink about 2.5-3 litters of water daily, but never cold, only room temperature.
7. Get a natural product called Kyolic (aged garlic from Japan), and take 3 caps with each meal.
8. Also get Magnesium –400 mg, aprox. Take 1 caps with each meal daily.
Do all this for 10-15 days. You should start seeing improvement after your 4th day.

This one probably is not going to clear up with home remedies- you need an antibiotic. Go see your doctor.

Cranberry juice is not a cure. Do the right thing, and have your doc prescribe some antibiotics.

Talk to your doctor… antibotics are the best cure. If you don't want to, make sure your cranberry juice is not a cocktail, which renders it useless. It has to be REAL juice.

Cranberry juice doesnt cure bladder infections, it can help to prevent them and may even slow them down once you've got one, but it can not cure them! Also, it can not be a cranberry juice cocktail…it must be 100% unsweetened juice. The loads of sugar in the other stuff counteract the theraputic properties. Call your doc and get an antibiotic! Good Luck

Did you try cranberry pills? They are stronger than the juice. You should really try to get to the doctor for some medicine because if you let a bladder infection go to long and it doesn't heal, it can get worse by spreading to your kidneys and cause infection there. Feel better! Those are the worst.

Yes antibiotics! Go see your doc!

Yogurt works best for me. Plain if you can stomach it. Otherwise try it with a teaspoon of honey. I've noticed improvement by the end of the day. It has something to do with the bacteria in it. It'll also help calm down the heartburn you're likely having from the cranberry juice. Good Luck

besides a doctor…..no. I tried all the home remedies and nothing worked. I sucked it in and just called the doc. told them the prob and they gave me a prescription over the phone.

You need an antibiotic. A bladder infection can move into your kidneys (ive had it happen) The AZO pills can help but they turn your urine a dark orange color so dont wear good panties while your taking it.

stop having sex for awhile. seriously. the man's pee-pee can hold bacteria. then, when he puts the pee-pee into your hoo-hoo, you get the bacteria back. think of it as the gift that keeps on giving. you need the antibiotic, he needs to use some soap on his pee-pee.

This is the bomb diggity!!!! I always keep it in my cupboard. It's D-Mannose sugar. It will get rid of a bladder infection in about a day and without antibiotics. This is one of the many companies that sell it.

While the most common bladder infection treatment is the use of antibiotics, there are several remedies a person can use at home. One effective method is to drink several large glasses of water each day, which helps flush out infection.
Consuming large amounts of acidophilus bifidus can also help eliminate bladder infection. Acidophilus bifidus are tiny live organisms found in yogurt. They can also be purchased in a condensed over-the-counter tablet form from the supermarket or drug store.
For those interested in an herbal remedy, a capsule called Juni-Pars can be helpful. This herbal capsule contains parsley root, juniper berries, goldenseal root, marshmallow root, lovelia herb, uya ursi leaf, and ginger root. Each of these herbs is known for its ability to cleanse the body.
Soaking in a bath with apple cider vinegar added to the water can also be beneficial. It can help treat the bladder infection, while reducing symptoms and bringing relief from the burning sensation typically associated with the infection.

Do you know for sure that it is indeed a bladder infection? Sometimes pain, burning, and other symptoms are from an inflammation of the ureter ( the tube leading from the bladder to the outside of the body, caused by friction and change in pH etc.)…in that case, antibiotics won't help. Drink lots of water and take a vitamin C (this will help change the pH to closer normal). As far as bladder infections…once you have one, antibiotics are best. However, give prevention of an infection some thought, especially if it is reoccuring. Urinate after sexual intercourse (if this applies to you), drink water…think of a stagnant pond full of "life"…great for an infection. If you drink a lot of water, you "wash" that "life" out like a stream. Avoid caffiene as it can irriatate the lining of the bladder. Note on cranberry juice…it is hard to find real cranberry juice that is not loaded with sugar…high sugar can also incurrage bacterial growth. Vitamin C works better. Connie

If that didnt help, you need to go beyond home remedies. The doctor can give you antibiotics

Cranberry juice is only effective if it is real cranberry juice. Most is about 90% apple juice and will not contain enough Mannose to be effective.

Well I saw where someone said AZO, that is good yes…..but I found something that worked great and even better. Back when I had those problems, I tried many things. That included the AZO. It did work but not very fast. What I used was Alka-Seltzer original. It worked so fast that by the time you would go to the bath room the first time after drinking it, you could tell the difference that soon. At least it will NOT stain your under clothes the way the others do. All you have to do is mix it the way it says to on the box and drink it all at once. Yes it taste nasty, but at least it will get rid of the infection. Take it as often as the box tells you to and no more. The burning will go away first before the infection will. To me that was a relief it's self. If the infection is not bad, one time will do it…but if it is bad you may have to do it 2 or 3 more times. But it does work and works great!! It is cheaper than the meds in the store as well. Good luck.

Cranberry juice – organic and unsweetened – is good for prevention.
Talk to your doctor, you need anti-biotics. After finishing the anti-biotics course get:
Acidophilus : 1 pill (1-2 billion live organisms) twice a day. Take if your doctor has prescribed antibiotics.
References :
1 teapot full of corn silk tea. (Zea Mays) a day for 2 weeks. You will find it will be good in 2 or 3 days. Still take it for 2 weeks. If you don't it will come back.
If you can't find it in your local healthfood store, tear the hair off some corn cobs.
2 T. per pot.

white grape juice and plenty of water, oh yeah, take some parsley and simmer it for 20 minutes cool and drink that,

i used to take anti biotics for infections, but now i use natural methods and they work equally as well….first, you need to make sure that the cranberry juice you are drinking isn't a conbo juice that only contains minimal cranberry juice content…look at the ingredients…you would be surprised…also, it has to be 100% juice, sugar tends to aggrivate the infection….second- drink tons of water to flush your system out….just keep drinking water all day…third-go to your natural grocery or health food store and buy two tintures…one called CALM WATERS and another called YARROW….the calm waters will get rid of the infection, and the yarrow will soothe the burning feeling….although, if you get pains in your lower back and/or a fever, it could be a kidney infection, and you would need to go to the doc ASAP

You really should see a doctor. But, to help with the symptoms, there is a medication available over the counter called "pyridium". It will turn your urine orange and it will look "greasy", but it stops the spasms and cuts the burn. Hope you feel better.

You really need antibiotics!
Another thing you can do is just to keep drinking boiled water; not when it's too hot, just warm.
