Does cranberry juice actually 'clean you out'?

I heard that cranberry juice is almost an equivalent of water; basically running right through you and cleaning you out.

Is this true?

    Okay. Yes it does but it depends what kind of juice you buy. The oceanspray (or the like) stuff is full of chemicals and added sugar you definitely don't need if you're trying to rid yourself of an infection. Go with a pure cranberry. This is going to be more money- maybe $6-$7 for a 16 oz. bottle (big deal ;)- and smaller than the name brand. If you can find organic get it. If not, go with a lessr known name. "Northland" juice is at Walmart. If you're by Trader Joe's they have a good brand. This is potent stuff folks and you'll greatly benefit from it. I like to get it down a little easier by mixing with a sparkling water. 2 T. juice into 8 oz. of H2O and you can drink glass after glass all day, it's SO good for you. Not sweet at all but very refreshing.

    Another option you can do in conjunction to this is either a kidney cleanse or a whole body cleanse that includes a kidney cleanse. Look at your local health food store and seek advice from them...

    God Bless!

    What Does Cranberry Juice Help

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes it's true cranberry juice prevents and helps with Urinary tract infection. The acid from the juice lines the bladder therefore the bacteria in the urine flushes out .

    Water is the only that *helps* clean things up inside. All the water in the world won't help you if you have deficient liver or kidneys, though. All cranberry does is acidify your urine. It does nothing to else to clean your body. Detox drinks are a scam. At best, they mask the drug metabolites in your body so they don't show up as positives on UAs. They do nothing to clean you up at all. Best things for non-drug test related 'detoxing' are filtered water, red or white tea, and a diet free of alcohol, needless drugs, and processed sugars/starches (ie. junk food).

    Cranberry juice does clean the kidneys. It's good for a urinary tract infection.

  • 1 decade ago

    A lot of people use cranberry juice to acidify their urine, to kill bacteria--to prevent or treat urinary tract infections. Does it work??? Yes--doctors recommend drinking cranberry juice along with the sulfa drugs they prescribe for UTI's to "assist" the antibiotics.
