Avoiding Kidney Damage with UTIs

by Joe Barton

Are you one of the millions who are searching for an effective UTI natural cure that works holistically with your body? If so, this article is for you!

About 8 to 12 million Americans will develop a urinary tract infection (UTI) in the next year. And most of these people deal with the uncomfortable and dangerous affects, including pain and burning in the bladder and abdomen when urinating, chills and fever. And many deal with these symptoms too long and suffer from severe kidney damage that could be fatal.

The good news is that curing your UTI is very simple. And you do not need any antibiotics (in fact antibiotics could cause more harm) with a UTI Natural Cure.

The Cause and Cure of the Infection

What causes urinary tract infections? In most cases, the infection is a result of bacteria, such as E coli, that get into the bladder or urinary tract. The bacteria immediately begins to multiply if the conditions are right.

Your body will typically be able to fight off the "bad" bacteria, but at certain times - when immunity is lower - the bacteria can proliferate and an infection is the result.

Typical treatments for the infections include a host of antibiotics that work to kill the bacteria. This might work if you were to become immune to the bacteria and never get an infection again. However, antibiotics also have their shortcomings because they also kill 'good' bacteria in the body. Not to mention, they also cause the bacteria to become completely resistant to antibiotics. In other words, you could be super-charging the bacteria for your next infection.

Researchers have found that people with re-occurring infections are usually people who have taken a number of antibiotics!

The good news is that you can naturally treat your UTI with simple remedies that naturally kill the E coli and flush it from the urinary tract.

Treatment Before Kidney Damage

If you notice blood in your urine, have excessive pain in your lower back or side, or have extended fever, nausea, or vomiting, contact your primary care physician immediately.

Kidney damage or failure is very serious and can be caused by urinary tract infections. Recurrent infections may cause scarring in the kidneys which can lead to high blood pressure and eventual kidney failure. Over time, urinary tract infections can also lead to other diseases and structural abnormalities. One common disease that is caused by recurrent infections is kidney stones.

Though you might be worried, it is important to know that you can cure your urinary tract infection in hours! In fact, if you practice simple lifestyle 'good' habits, this might be your last infection.

Here are Some Ways to Prevent UTIs

1. Drink plenty of fluids. Research shows that drinking plenty of water and even cranberry juice can reduce the chances of developing UTIs. Water will flush the system. And some think cranberries contain a compound that may stop certain bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract wall.

2. Urinate often and as much as possible. Do not give the bacteria time to attach itself to the bladder's walls.

3. Wipe from front to back to prevent the intestinal E coli from entering the urinary tract.

4. Clean the genital area every day and before and after sex.

5. Add parsley to your diet. This garnish provides the urinary tract with apiol which is a volatile oil that acts as a urinary tract antiseptic. We recommend boiling one cup of water, add 1 teaspoon of parsley (fresh or dried) and allow mixture to steep for 10 minutes. Strain parsley from water and drink up!

Avoid UTI when you avoid the Home Spa

Dr. David G. Williams writes that a Texas A & M University microbiologist recently did testing on 43 different drain-after-use whirlpool baths and found that

95% contained fecal bacteria

81% harbored fungi

36% had the same bacteria that causes Legionnaires' Disease

It appears that whirlpool tub water is over 19,000X more toxic than tap water!

Williams suggests that there are ways to sanitize the pipes and jets to prevent the re-circulation of this bacteria and fungi after you drain your spa.

I would also say think twice about using the whirlpools in hotel rooms!

How to Stop Urinary Tract Infections during Menopause

As though menopause isn't already full of enough unpleasant "changes"-- hot flashes, dry membranes, emotional rollercoastering-- it seems that it is also a time for greater susceptibility to urinary tract infection.

Increased risks for getting a urinary infection include pregnancy, urinary infections as a child, diabetes, and menopause. Women are engineered in such a way that the urethra is short and predisposed to gathering up the bacteria around the genito-uro-rectal area. Said bacteria can develop into infections as it makes it way up the urinary tract (which includes entries into the bladder and kidneys). The body's natural response to foreign bacteria is to do whatever it can to get rid of it.

If the bladder weakens it will frequently not do its job of expelling urine when the bladder is 'full'. An overstretched bladder will often retain urine, providing a place to grow the bacteria that has entered via the urinary tract. It's a good idea to empty the bladder frequently, not waiting for cues from a weakened bladder. I have found that putting gravity to work is one way to make sure that the bladder empties completely: have a small stepstool in the bathroom and place it under your feet as you sit on the toilet. Toilets in Asian countries were traditionally the sort where you had to lower your entire body into a sort of squat position, which is much more condusive to moving wastes out of the body.

Sexual intercourse can be very uncomfortable during menopause, and doubly so if you also have a urinary infection. Cleanse, front to back, before and after intercourse. Use a pristinely clean cloth for cleansing and dry with a hairdryer (on cool setting). Don't use harsh soaps-- in fact, water is fine. Some pure coconut soaps are okay. Have your partner cleanse in advance as well, of course. A condom is not a bad idea (for anyone who is not sensitive to latex)in cutting down on transmission of infections. Try different positions to decrease the irritation that comes with friction. Have a pee directly after intercourse.

Most articles you will read will suggest that you use antibiotics if you have had recurring urinary infections. I like to suggest that you support your body to heal itself in the simplest and least invasive ways possible. The hygiene mentioned above, excellent nutrition, exercise, fresh air and sunshine, a happy, stress-relieving lifestyle, and a reliance upon the Creator will all come together to provide you with good immunity.  Do you due diligence with Google to find out what the best of the best works for you and your body. God bless!

Blueberries for Urinary Tract Infections

I know that we have all heard of cranberries as being the ultimate berry in staving off urinary tract infections... but did you know that studies show that the blessed little blueberry is even more effective? Apparently the tannins in Blueberries are responsible for diminishing the bacteria that causes urinary tract infections.

I am so happy to have blueberries growing in my backyard and count them among my favourite fruit... I wish that I had known about their anti-bacterial qualities back in my youth when I had so many urinary tract infections... ah well, they still taste as sweet!

It's a good idea to look for simpler, more natural ways of dealing with urinary tract infections.
