    The natural cure that I've found is called d-mannose. It's an extract from cranberries and available at healthfood stores or online. Drinking lots of cranberry juice will help, but also give you diarrhea. Juice is better for maintenance then treatment. I researched this a lot if you can't tell. I got a UTI and didn't have insurance, so I had to look for an alternative to a doctor. The stuff really does work!!

    Well what works the best is.............when you first feel you have a UTI. Buy 2 big bottles of cranberry juice (not the cocktail) Pure cranberry. Drink the hell out of them for a day or two. That will help fight it away. If it's gotten too late, go to the doctor cause it will cure it really quick with some pills.

    It's for sure a scam.

    To get rid of UTI, you MUST get antibiotics.

    Nitrofurantoin/ Macrobid are often prescribed to treat this.

    You NEED to see a doctor.

    Over the counter products are to relieve the pain, but they will never cure UTI.

    To prevent getting UTI again.

    - Drink water often

    - Urinate when you need to, don't hold it in

    - Wipe front to back

    - Urinate after sex

    - Drink pure cranberry juice

    Hope that helped.

    hmm sounds like a con to me, they probably wont tell you anything more than what the doctors will. but if you get it alot then you've got nothing to loose i suppose. if you pay by card make sure its to an account that doesnt have much money in or isnt used often, better to be safe than sorry.

    i think i have a UTI at the moment but i dont know? does it go away on its own with plenty of cranberry juice and water? please let me know!
