9 Excellent Home Remedies For Bladder Infection

D-mannose is 10 to 50 times more potent than cranberry juice and has very few calories. It also has no negative side effects (no negative side effects from cranberries as well).

Those who take D-mannose have lower levels of bacteria in their urinary tract than if they don’t use this supplement.

4. Are you wiping yourself from front to back after using the restroom?

5. Have a kidney cleanse formula on hand for times when you feel a bladder infection coming on. One of the ones I recommend is Dr. Christopher’s Kidney Cleanse. Take 2 capsules three times daily for six weeks to cleanse the entire organ. A kidney cleanse will contain uva ursi, which is a very specific herb put on earth to help you overcome urinary tract infections.

6. Are you taking probiotics? Probiotics may be in the form of kefir milk, yogurt, and sauerkraut. However, yogurt should specifically state that it has live bacteria in it; otherwise, it’s worthless from a probiotic standpoint.

7. When you feel a bladder infection coming on, bring out the asparagus. Eat a whole pound over the course of a day or two.

8. Are you taking any proanthocyanidins? Proanthocyanidins are medicinal constituents found in foods, and they’re helpful because of their antioxidant effects in the body. According to Dr. Joe Mercola of www.mercola.com, a dose of 36 to 72 mg proanthocyanidins is enough to protect the body against the adherence of microbes in the urinary tract.

This information gives us the clue that you could actually prevent UTIs by using proanthocyanidins rather than cranberry juice or pineapple juice. Mercola believes that cranberry juice is also high in fructose that can be harmful to the body. Fructose in any form is starting to get a bad rep in alternative healing circles, as it’s connected with higher levels of advanced glycation endproducts in the body.

9. Are you feeding the bacteria by eating a lot of sugar in your diet? Cut down on your sugar intake.

Thus, your protocol for a bladder infection might be the following:

* 3 quarts water during the day (includes any tea)
* 2 capsules cranberry extract
* 2 capsules Kidney Cleanse five times daily
* 1 Probiotics capsule
* Kefir milk
* Asparagus

See how easy it is to create a complete protocol to wipe out a bladder infection when you know the basic principles?
