If you’re familiar with any of these words then I’m guessing you’ve taken your fair share of antibiotics.
I’ve certainly taken my share. Actually, more than my share.
After I became paralyzed at the age of 13 I started a cycle of chronic antibiotic use that I thought would never end. Like clockwork I would get a urinary tract infection (UTI), take antibiotics for 7 days, be symptom free for 7 days, and then get another UTI. Round and round, over and over.
As a teenager I was unaware of the dangers of antibiotic resistance and the damage that chronic antibiotic use was doing to my body. All I knew was that UTIs were awful and I wanted relief. And I had no idea how to get it without drugs.
I let my doctors convince me that urinary tract infections go hand in hand with intermitten catheterization and that I would always require antibiotics for treatment.
Fast forward about 10 years, after the birth of my second child, and I had had enough. I was sick of constantly taking urine samples to the lab every few weeks, sick of waiting on my doctor for the results, and just plain sick of suffering from UTI’s.
I decided to take matters into my own hands and figure out how to free myself from dependence on antibiotics.
Watch to find out the 5 steps I took to cure my recurrent UTI's!

This was by far the best video ever, answered prayer…i just prayed last night for the Holy Spirit to show me exactly what to do, and your video pops up on my feed! Thank You for giving excellent instructions. God Bless You!❤😊
I hope it helps! I have more videos on bladder health if you are interested!.
Praise the Lord, Natalie! Me too, I’ve started taking d mannose, and my goodness I felt the difference straight away. I’m so sorry I ran to the dr so quick and took antibiotics 😞 Gods natural remedies are the best! 😌
@@EmpoweredParayes I would love to know more about bladder health
I have watch dozens of documentaries about how to help myself. Antibiotics are not working any more. I had 6 recurrences in 2 years. At age 70, I do not enjoy visiting over and over the Urgent Care facility. I am lucky to have the time to do my own research. Your documentary is the best I have found. Thank you for sharing your own experience. It is greatly appreciate it. Of course, I am subscribing and liking. God bless you!!!
Oregano oil every day, 3 liters of water etc etc. I am talking from experience no jokes with prostate and bladder.
Oregano oil of which brand?
My father is suffering from chronic UTI. The infection is not going away. Severe antibiotic resistance. E
@@aroojbukhari2462
WILD OREGANO IS BEST ..mix with spoon of olive oil for the taste then drink some water
Organic essential oregano oil can be any brand you like
Awesome video!!👊😎
I am a C 5/6 quadriplegic with a 25 year history of chronic UTIs. About a year and a half ago the antibiotics just stopped working. The infectious disease team at my hospital was brought in to follow my case. The first thing they did was explain to me that either I would start fighting off infections naturally or eventually the drug resistant bugs would kill me. I had a similar experience to what you described when you said you had to change your diet completely. I just decided that nutrition was the final frontier and really my last hope for beating the UTIs naturally. I eat pasture raised organic eggs every morning for breakfast with Ezekiel sprouted grain bread and an avocado. To strengthen my gut I drink grass fed organic kefir in the morning and at bedtime. I also eat brined sauerkraut several times a day because it is extremely good for the gut. I eat huge salads multiple times a week that are made out of organic greens and other healthy ingredients. I have tried to cut out refined sugars and most carbohydrates. The change in my diet has made me feel worlds better and I just can’t see myself ever going back.
I also wanted to share one thing that my pharmacist told me about. There is a supplement called NAC that has really helped me. The d-mannose was causing too much gastric distress on my sensitive G.I. tract. However, NAC is something I could tolerate. NAC has anti-mucous properties. Bacteria often take refuge in something called a biofilm. Essentially it is just mucus that adheres to the bladder walls. This is where the bacteria like to hide out and avoid getting flushed away or affected by medication. NAC is really good at breaking up the bio films so they get flushed out. I think keeping those biofilms flushed out has eliminated a place for the bacteria to hide. Whenever my symptoms start to appear I go to 1200 mg a day. For maintenance I mostly do 600 mg a day. The brand I use is “nature’s plus“ and I prefer the caplets over the capsules. However, the caplets are hard to find. BTW, NAC also has a lot of other health benefits.
What is NAC , what is brand name ( full form) ?
There’s a lot of confusing information out there, so personal testimonies are pretty good. I was curious if NAC was bothering your gut at all? The inside of our gut has a protective layer of biofilm made of good bacteria. I have reports that NAC can break down that biofilm as well and cause Gastro problems.
Somewhere in these UTI videos, I read one comment about "toilet paper". She said she changed her toilet paper, and the UTI went away. Well, this is my 2nd day of implementing her strategy - (one I never would have thought of) - and, guess what? She was right!!!! Of course, this is AFTER d-mannose, water, reducing caffeine to 1-2 cups per day (with food)....etc. And it has helped!!! After comparing the 2 toilet papers, one was scratchier; thanks to this person for the comment!!! Allergy? Bacteria on toilet paper??? Who knows???
Thank you for commenting! Maybe it's the ones with a fancy smell that could irritate some people, but it could be the bacteria on it.
@@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor One side of the toilet paper was smooth; the other side was scratchier. If you used the wrong side.....but I'm noticing that my tendency to drink tea rather than pure water that is causing the burning/irritation. Try Bob Harper's method in "The Skinny Rules". 16 oz glass of water before each meal - 300 calorie meals every 3 hours. I think he only had coffee in the morning. When i followed his ideas, I had the best sleep I've ever had - no up and down at night.
I would love to get off my antibiotic. I have been taking Nitrofurantoin 50 mg every day for over 35 years. I haven’t had an infection in decades but I’ve learned recently that antibiotics aren’t good to take all the time. I’ve never heard of D mannose. Thank you for your great information and also all the great information in the comments.
After having chronic UTI's for years, I started using a cranberry supplement, once to twice a day, with probiotics, and if I even feel a twinge of a UTI coming on...I take oregano oil, 60 percent carvacol, and it knocks it right out!! Prior to this, the doctors just gave me anti-biotics, for weeks at a time, and I got sepsis, twice, and nearly died! I knew if I didn't change something, it was going to kill me! I also have changed my diet considerably, lots more veggies, and fruit, NAC supplement, and I drink alot of lemon water!! It is important to cut out as much sugar, as you possibly can, out of your diet! It does make a significant difference! (By the way, Oregano oil is a Natural antibiotic, so you have to be very, very careful when using it. Short durations, of a week or two.) Dr, Eric Berg is where I found the recommendation!
Is there any side effect of using cranberry supplements?
Yes oregano oil cures my bladder infections all the time, and I also take daily cranberry pills .
What kind of prebiotic did you use ma'am
Stop the Lemon water and NAC and I bet you your UTI will come back- you aren’t cured but I’m glad that you’ve found a way to manage it. I want a cure, there is no way I can keep having kidney infections as a 25 year old male
Thank you for sharing this great advise ❤
You're amazing, thank you for the awesome video❤
You're welcome!
Great video
I have been paralised for 23 years now. T11/12. I was 47 years old, and 70 now.
I broke my back in a remote area in the bush ( I was building a lodge in Zimbabwe).
I had 18 hours to think about my future before an ambulance (a pick up with a canopy and two benches inside)
During those 18 hours, I made a decision that I was not going to be a liability to anyone. I was divorced with two daughters living in the UK.
In short, I live on my own, travel, and still have a great life.
Urinary infectios - plenty, until 4 years ago in Thailand, when I discovered by accident that chillies (raw or in powdered form), cured my infection.
At that time I also discovered that I had become resistant to anti- biotics.
I now have coffee every morning with a few shakes of chilli powder in it, and have been UTI free ever since.
Keep up your great work.
(I still cannot understand why so many people in life choose to be miserable in life - disabled or not)
Kori 🍷👨🏻🦽
Chillies! Can you link to the kinds of powder you use! That is very cool!
I really can't understand miserable people either!
@@EmpoweredPara please send link thanks
Cayenne pepper? As I know this kills infections
What brand of Chili pepper???
thank you so much i am in wheelchair and been having chronic uti lately and fed up going to the doctor
I drank pickle juice and ate Activia probiotics yogurts and unsweetened cranberry juice . It came from this cheap toilet tissue I use. Since I been using another brand I have no more UTI. Your post helped as well.
I had a sci 2 years ago and I'm going through the same thing. Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!
I got the antibiotics this time! But now I'm going to try that supplement and the garlic. Thanks Brittney 😊
Let me know how it goes when you try it!
Hi Britney.. this is a great video 👍 you said you suffered of UTI for ten years.. I suffered from chronic UTI for more than 40 years.. with average an attack once a month😅😅 my doctor prescribed me antibiotics and I had them as if i had asprins😂😂then i started to do my research exactly as you did yourself.. and I decided to follow the advice of taking D-Mannose for a try.. and I didn’t have any UTI attack 😅😅 since then.. and I wondered why my doctor never suggested me such a miraculous solution.. 🤔🤔 anyhow I just wanted to share with you my personal experience which might help someone else with the same problem.. thank you Britney ❤️
I know right! My doctor didn't even know what d mannose was!
Where do I get this.. health food store I suppose.. nothing but Walmart here
@@EmpoweredParawhat is NAC ?

excellent... I will share with my wife
Great info
You are simply amazing and I'm a Doctor! I'm really impressed!
thank you!
Great tips thank you
Thank you so much! Glad you are not suffering as much anymore. Your attitude is beautiful! God Bless
Thanks so much ❤
My! What a beautiful, interesting, honest, brave and empowered person you are, girl ! I am 80 and it‘s a treat to watch and listen to you. I bless God for you, for your intelligent and courageous life.
I feel like sharing something which is funny to me (although completely irrelevant, please don‘t mind me). Here it is :
having be pretty, it‘s rather a shock that I am losing very visible teeth…but , the other day, I read Jesus saying (in another context, for sure) „it will be better for you to enter the Kingdom of God without eye or hand - than being thrown into hell with eyes and hands“ - so, I discard painful sensations about being toothless and concentrate on what is important (and to me, what is important as you may guess, is to do what I can do about all the other things He says).
I pray God to bless you always on your path, girl, and I send you my warmest and sincerest admiration.
AMEN to that!!!
👏👏👏
could you maybe get some dentures? so you don't feel self conscious? xoxo
Thank you so kucj❤
Good Job
Im getting uti s from two years ,5 to 6 times, this time i had post void volume of 185 ml n i had urine dilation n cystography . but im getting burning sensation even after drinking lots of water . ill follow all the five steps you said hope ill also cure my uti permanently thank you so much
Thats super helpful! I became paraplegic 2.5 years ago and have been having UTIs monthly. I'm soooo sick of it. I'll try the garlic because i already do the other stuff. Hope it works ✌️
Good luck!
@@EmpoweredPara thanks. Can you tell me what time in the evening you stop drinking? My doctor told me to stop at 6:00 pm and I'm not sure if that's good for me?
@@therealhend I stop at 8pm
Was useful thank you
Chronic uti sufferer too. Was eventually given estrogen but also take Garden of Life Urinary Tract Probiotic will try load image...these are a life saver!!
Thank-you! Low estrogen is definitely a factor in many urinary tract and pelvic issues!
@@EmpoweredPara
Another ‘gift’ I’ve had since becoming menopausal -
4 UTIs in a month and a half!!!!
🙄🥵🤬
What gets rid of my UTIs is:
- Lots of sugar free cranberry juice.
- Uquora’s d mannose (plus their other 2 recommended supplements.)
Whenever I feel a UTI coming on I take the Uqoura powder in water (a Doctor helped develop it) and / or the supplements with cranberry.
NO MORE UTIs!
Thank the LORD!!!
💕
@@user-ex3mx7hk4l D mannose is amazing!
I feel like I’m getting a UTI right now and just started doing everything you said.
I’ve had recurring UTIs for years and it’s just breaking me mentally because I can’t take the burning and horrible cramping.
I’m going to try and take the garlic 3 times a day while acutely having a UTI and twice a day for prevention.
I also need to work on taking my dmannose daily again and my cranberry capsules.
This video just gave me so much hope 😍
Thank you! 🙏🏽
The d mannose is non negotiable! I take it multiple times a day!
Try orgeano oil capsule ( atleast 60% cavrol) 200mg 3 to 4 times a day
It can help I have ordered it i will try from next week
Disclaimer: it can cause bloating acidity
But it is temporary
Hope yr ok
@@taichihead42 hey, thank you! :)
I tried the garlic and the mannose a few times a day and it worked!
Will try this before antibiotics forever now
@@MrsBlingJen Wow well done. I just got over a UTI and am going to take D Mannose for ever too. The antibiotics i was taking are called "Macrodantin". They made me so sleepy and i felt awful on them. Wish i had of known about D Mannose powder sooner. The last time i had a UTI was 10 years ago. My luck ran out. God bless you and have a wonderful day.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this life-changing video!
I have had a Foley catheter for over 5 years and always have mucus in my urine. I also get bad bladder spasms. After watching your video just this morning, I mixed garlic powder into my morning orange juice. I am starting to see less mucus in my tube already. Thank you.
Usually raw garlic is better but I've never experimented with garlic powder so if it works for you that's great!
@@EmpoweredPara Can you take garlic pills?
@@labab1048 they don't work as well
I've been quad for 44 years and have an indwelling catheter. I change the Foley every time I take a bath (not the bag just the tube). I take roughly 1/2 tsp of D-Mannose twice a day EVERYDAY. I haven't had a UTI since starting this regiment 15 years ago! I use Now D-Mannose powder.
Brilliant! D-mannose is amazing!
I love D-Mannose! Really works!
Gosh.. I've gotta get this stuff.. Yesterday!😢
So much info! Ty! I had no idea of any of this.. but suffer with this and .. brain is fried
I was diagnosed with Cystitis and PID, just completed my antibiotics pills and injection doses and have pains on my pelvic area...i really need natural remedies at this point....thanks for this, i will start doing all these
Go to www.stoputiforever.com/
It's an amazing resource!
@@EmpoweredParathank you so much,best video till date on alternative UTI treatment, Even so much useful information in comments section,u are God send angel . But my Gut is too sensitive,how I would eat so much garlic? Can I roast the garlic? Garlic cause pain in stomach.
@reenakumar3987 if garlic is hard on your stomach it'd stick to lots of d-mannose. 2000 mg at least 5 times a day. You can also try natural antibiotics like uva ursi, goldenseal, and oil of oregano
You are a star! I already use D-mannose, it was the only thing that help me 6 months ago when I had a horrible UTI. Here we go again, but this time I'm reacting quick. I will use garlic. Dr Berg recommends oregano oil for those people for whom D-mannose doesn't work.
I am from Jamaica and garlic is one of our natural herbs/medicines. Even for high blood pressure it’s use for.
It's amazing for high blood pressure!
It works fast thanks so much
You're welcome!
Virginia May I ask you how much garlic you took before you had relief ?
Virginia May I ask you how much garlic you took before you had relief ?
I co-sign everything she said in this video based on my own experience. Instead of garlic because it gets rough sometimes on my stomach I take oil of oregano which works magic as well.
I have that around as well but always forget about it!
Does orageno solve your problem completely?
@@AmanKumar-om8uqyes it works. Grapefruit seed extract does too. It works better than garlic.

How awesome 😎👍
Dont worry to all whi have trouble may god blessed u all
I use garlic to cure my sinus infections...I am def going to try this.
garlic is good for so many things!
THX!
Great advice. Also oregano oil can help in combination with everything you said but shouldn't be used every day long-term.
Your video was so timely and helpful to me. Many thanks and blessings❤ ! As far as tips, I heard some on a Dr. Berg video. I can't remember all of them. I do remember him saying eat Asparagus, taking oil of Oregano with another supplement. Thanks again !
i have been having re-occurring UTI`s for about a year. Twice I got antibiotics and now I feel it starting again. I`m sensitive enough that I can tell just by a slight sensitivity creeping up toward my kidneys but no pain. I can take a teaspoon of oregano and wait until it`s soggy enough to swallow and that makes it go away,but,I guess I`ll have to take it a little more often and see if I can kick it out.
hopefully you can kick it!
Thanks. I haven’t had a UTI/Bladder infection of any consequence in over 5 years. I don’t do garlic, I became a vegetarian and like you drink a ton of water. We must empower ourselves, we must advocate for ourselves. It takes years, but it’s worth it. Keep informing our community. Great stuff!!!
Bravo! Keep up the good work making your health a priority!
Do you find that becoming a vegetarian helped with uti's? My friend became vegetarian and her uti's cleared up. I am curious if meat is bad for uti's.
Empowered Para I switched, slowly over the years (11 as a cripple) I just had to switch things to make bowel program work (thank God I wasn’t 13), and vegetarianism is what was key. Yes, I believe being vegetarian has a huge impact on UTI, a happy side effect is what it is. Still hate BBQ season, just want to die.
@@bryan6169 I might try becoming vegetarian just to experiment! Thanks for your comments! Happy to have you part of my community! Where are you from?
Empowered Para I would speak with Dr. regarding drastic swings, if you do, do it slowly over a year. I suggest dropping dairy first, as it has a lot to do with healing and pain. It clears up our interstitial fluids, it’s amazing even to this old roofer. There are a bunch of easy SCI nutrition people on IG, I’ll send you my favorite when I see her on my feed, forgot name.
Thank you. I also take those pills once a day for prevention D-mannose I also researched the uti. No dr told me to take them
Wonder video
I take one teaspoon of tumeric one teaspoon ginger and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper mix in a glass of warm water and sip it down slowly its guarantee to work.
Is it for your bladder infection .ginger is fresh or powder form .pls reply.
I have been using dmannose but I will start garlic because I’m tired of getting infections,thanks
Good luck!
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing! I have been suffering from UTI’s for more than 10 years and was on antibiotics. Well the antibiotics I was taking has since stopped working. I also developed diarrhea from too much antibiotic use which now sucks! Sorry, I know a bit TMI lol 😂 It’s just one thing after another for me, I hate it!!!! I’ve heard of garlic being a natural antibiotic as well. I’m gonna try this. I also take D Mannose but not regularly. I’ve only been taking it after intercourse. Thank you once again for all of your help! Oh yeah, I’ve also been eating tons of Kim chee in hopes to help out my gut. I heard fermented foods are good for healing the gut. Gonna up my intake on water as well and work on changing my diet. Thanks again!!!!❤
P.S. I thought that I might add that I don’t have any spinal cord injury or anything but as a child I did have what is called a ureter reflux (where your urine goes back up into your kidneys? Or so I was told) and ended up having surgery to fix that. Now that I’m older I’m learning that UTI’s is a common side effect of that surgery. 😭😫 it sucks!!!
It happens to me twice a year and I cannot stand it. Going to get my d-manos from right now. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
Update?
Oil of oregano is great to try also. But garlic 🔥 just add to 🥗
Dmannose 💎
Yes! Oil of oregano seems to work for alot of people!
This is an awesome video!! Super sound knowledge! I have used all of these strategies in my herbal practice with my clients successfully, along with some other herbs that work really well :) Great job Brittney!
Thank you!
Which herbs, may I ask?
Which other herbs did you use?
Thank you so much ❤
I've found METHANAMINE helpful. You can get it OTC, but your doctor can PRESCRIBE it in a higher dose, which your insurance may pay for. I say this first, because some readers don't read long posts. There are millions of people (mostly women) SUFFERING from UTI's. This interferes with a normal life, causing anxiety and depression, often interfering with relationships .I KNOW because I've been there for years. They are also la leading cause of DEATH in elderly folks. Doctors are either 1)ignorant, 2) Negligent, or 3) Uncaring. Some are helpful, but we have to be responsible and accountable for ourselves and BE OUR OWN DOCTORS. Listen to this woman--NEVER GIVE UP and HAVE FAITH YOU WILL DEFEAT THIS MONSTER. Keep looking and SHARE what you're learned. GOD BLESS ALL.
Hello …. My doctor just put me on Methanamine last week . I was on it for a week . But I got another uti and I am currently back on Amoxicillin for 5 days , then I will continue the Methanamine. How long does it take to work in the body ? .
methenamine is an acidifier/antiseptic …check your urine ph… u want it in the 5s … as your dr about urogesic blue also … it’s an old drug still used in thd ER today for carbon monoxide poisoning … methenamine combined w methylene blue is very good at keeping urine clean …
Thanks love. I just saved this and am going to hit the garlic hard! ❤😊
Hope it helps!
1 tsp baking soda in a glass of water.
How often ?
A FRIEND OF MINE SAID IN THE MORNING ON A EMPTY STOMACH AND AT NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.
8months of suffering for now. I can’t go the doctor
Literally drinking garlic tea right now..lol with numerous other herbs in it
I am having uti 3 month straight😢. Gonna try garlic and acv. Wish me luck
ACV is likely going to irritate your already inflammed bladder. I would avoid large amounts of it until you are healed..
Did it work
Yes girl! Garlic saved me when I was getting recurring UTI'S! BEST ANTIBIOTIC!❤
Hi what did u do ? Pls tell me i am pregnant and dealing with recurrent utis am seriously worried
And how long did it take u to recover ?
@@aishwaryareddy5805 crush the garlic, put In a glass and pour hot water. Leave it for 24 hours and drink. Drink twice a day. Repeat until you are okay.
From how many days u got uti ? & covered in how much tym please tell
@aishwaryareddy5805 honestly I just Chop up fresh garlic as finely as I can and swallow a tea or table spoon amount with something to drink. Fresh garlic is the most potent. But don't buy garlic from China because they grow theirs in sewage water and soak it in bleach so it's value is low or infective. California grows good garlic. You can ake a tea or tablespoon as often as you would take antibiotic pills. Or as much as you feel until the uti is gone. Avoid unnatural sugars if severe enough and also drink crambery with water to help prevent bacteria from sticking to your blatter wall and spreading.
@gurjitkaur3306 how much fresh garlic to take depends on how severe the uti is. I would finely Chop up a tea or table spoon amount 2-3 times a day - for 1 - 3 days. Sometimes 1 day is enough but I had one recently that spread to my bladder and kidneys. So I took garlic for a week. Also drank cranberry juice with water and made oregano tea. And avoided unnatural sugar.
You can also use garlic and cranberry as a preventative like once or twice a week or if you feel something coming on take right away. Don't buy garlic from China. It's grown using sewage water and bleached.
Depends on the bacteria. Did you get yours cultured? If so what was the bacteria?
Dr Reckweg R18 with Berberis vulgaris mother tinture
And plenty of water and Potassium citrate also potassium rich food.
A bonus, the garlic will help keep away vampires, no? T6 para here 30+ years - I battled infected kidney stones for years and Uti's in general for years. Now my main prevention is hydration and good hygiene - Getting rid of pubic hair and I use gloves now - used to just use clean technique, but nah, i need to be sure I am introducing as little bacteria into myself as I can. Been doing Ok with it all, thankfully. I truly want to preserve antibiotics for when I RELLY need them. Thanks for the tips.
Have you reduced your infections using gloves?
@@EmpoweredPara yeah, they have decreased for sure. I haven't stepped up to a closed catheter system yet, nor the hydrophilic type. I have tried samples, but I find them a bit awkward to use. We'll see how it goes as I experiment with them. I do cook a bunch with garlic, but I'm not sure I'm hard core enough to eat it straight up. Lol.
@markDbee that's awesome:) It took my a while to get used to hydrophilic catheters because they definitely are awkward to handle at first. Every step in the right direction helps so keep up what you're doing!
@@EmpoweredPara will do, maybe one day I'll graduate to the big leagues and down a clove of garlic like a champ. Lol.
@markDbee I just swallow it without chewing it or tasting it so I'm not that impressive lol
Do i need the d mannose? No crazy symptoms
Is there a good video about sugar? My girlfriend doesn't get the sugar issue.
bacteria feed of sugar ..try xylitol instead …it’s natural and 40 percent less calories … when bacteria eat it they can’t digest it and they starve … just another tool to help
Can't they give you an 'at home" test, so that you can determine if it's a serious UTI or a mild one?
Don't think so. There are home tests that can detect things that are typically high when you have a UTI like leukocytes but they are not very reliable at actually diagnosing anything. More just giving you some information that might help determine if you should see a doctor.
If you've healed a chronic UTI, when was the last time you had a UTI?
I had a UTI 1.5 years ago. I get one once every year or two.
Baking soda will help with pain...a half to a whole teaspoon several times a day will dstop the pain....
I've heard that!
fellow para here, t-12 30 yrs… i have had 500 plus uti/kidney infections… mine always get into the kidneys …what do you do at night, do you wake up every two hours to cath? thanks adam
I wake up about every 3 hours to pee
I'm going to try the garlic. I've been in agonizing kidney pain from a UTI.
Good luck!
Did it help u ?
Update
Try sip just a spoon acv in a glass off water at night..
Do a video on Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria cause UTI. I couldn't not get rid of it 2 years. I tried all kind of uti medicine but in vain. I got healed when i took an African herb powder in tea which got rid of it in 8hrs.
what was the herb!?
Maybe it’s Buchu. Dr Berg mentioned it in one of his videos.
@@nanduhud8375 was it varuna bark?
@@EmpoweredPara Buchu is a plant that grows in South Africa. The botanical name is Agathosma betulina. It is used as a herbal tea. Among other things it is used for UTI. There is quite a bit of info online. Hope this helps
Unfortunately the herbalist could not disclose the herb name. It's powder mixed with some small insects. It works wonders though. But very painful when urinating the bad bacteria out. Within 8hrs the infection is completely gone
im 17, this morning i found out i have Proteus Mirabilis, if the antibiotics they give me dont work, i hope this does...im so scared and in extreme pain everyday.
Do you take the garlic on an empty stomach does it matter or no?
Doesn't matter in my experience
❤
Oregano oil helped me. But you have to stop using it after two weeks. It is better than antibiotics. Oh, plus drinking a lot of clean water helps too.
Can i get rid of my uti without the d mannose but I'll do everything else.
Garlic works well.
D-mannose never worked for me. Maybe a different bacteria is in me
yeah D-mannose only works with ecoli.
Yeah it d mannose didn't help me much
Hello! I came across your video as I am desperately trying to find help for my husbands chronic UTI’s. He is a quad and has had about 14 infections in 17 months. We started the raw garlic today and my question is…how exactly did you personally take it? 3 times a day for 1-2 days then for 5 more days twice daily and then once a day just for prevention? Please respond☹️ we are feeling hopeless and helpless
With a bad UTI I will take 3 cloves (or 2 larger ones) every 3 hours. If it's a normal UTI then 3 cloves three times per day. After a UTI I'll take 3 cloves twice a day for a few days and then taper off to one cloves every morning for months after while the bladder heals. Here is a link to a bladder care guide:

@@EmpoweredPara thank you for your response! I will look into the guide. How many days do you take it 3x a day for? I’m concerned that too much garlic can be toxic from what I’ve read….
@kiarayvette972 I take the garlic 3X per day for 7 days just like a course of antibiotics. I've never had any problems taking loads of garlic other than digestive issues but garlic can lower your blood pressure so you might want to start with a lower amount if garlic since I'm sure your husband already has very low blood pressure. If the garlic is too intimidating two really effective natural antibiotics are uva ursi and goldenseal. You can buy them at a health food store or online. You can also buy natural antibiotics and other bladder herbs in mixtures. A few products I use are:
For infections:

For prevention (use daily):

Check this out! a.co/d/iEqpDuG (take every two hours during an infection and up to 5 times a day for prevention)
@@EmpoweredPara thank you so much. I apologize for all my questions. I downloaded your guide, is there a way I can reach out to you privately?
@kiarayvette972 absolutely. you can email me at empoweredpara@gmail.com
My utis come on very had and fast.
can we chew garlic by chopping it and kepping it in air for 10 mins but instead of swallowing just chew it?
Just leave it 10 min yes! Then put it on all the food you eating I am enjoying it!!😊
Could garlic also work for Chronic UTI?

How often would you have UTI for the doctor to prescribe it for years ?

Anyone know if garlic kills uti strep bacteria?

Garlic does help destroy biofilms!

#5 is the hardest 😅 I’m going on 2 weeks of a UTI. This is my 4th this year so I really don’t want to take antibiotics a 4th time this year. I’ve been doing oregano and thyme, d-mannose 4x a day, along with my regular Uqora and probiotic and it keeps flaring up every 2-3 days. I will try garlic next. At what point do you decide to get antibiotics after the home remedies don’t seem to work?
❤
How is your situation now how did you cure your uti I’m trying natural remedies tried antibiotics don’t wanna deal with another round of heavy antibiotics 😢
Drink some probotic tea it helps!
Please don't wait it could be very serious if it goes on too long without clearing the body
Read meat and spices make the utis worse.... here in india we do have some herbs that helps to kill bacteria i dont know if you could find it there tooo❤
Name pls i got uti i am male
Also, Alka Seltzer works
For uti's?
Yes, it balances the ph. Used it so many times, and been on less antibiotics. You only take 1 pkg 2x per day. It works for me.
Also a friend of mine uses vitamin C to stave off infection, and she said she hasn't needed antibiotics for years
@@samanthatremellen7640 Thank you! I've been looking for something simple that makes urine more alkaline!
It's not something you do everyday, as then your body gets used to it, and then it won't work. I use it when I feel a UTI coming on, or if I feel there is something off with my body, or if I am exhausted, to prevent a UTI.
Hii iam having infection in my bladder..by E.COLI . none of the antibiotics is helping..do u think garlic help help me? And how r u right now? Did your UTI clear up permanently or reoccuring?
I get UTIs about once a year now. Send yes I think Garlic may help.
@@EmpoweredPara when that one arises in a year.. what would you do for the UTI clear up?
The garlic I believe 😅 I mean she basically said she’s taking it 3 times a day like antibiotics when she’s having a UTI
@@evvkkk6657 garlic!
@@evvkkk6657 it's worked? mustly rply
When I get an infection, I get sleep amnesia, I keep waking up to drink water because I feel thirsty all the time and pee like 2 or 3 times a night. Let me listen here
Check to make sure your not diabetic.
Well in my case that did not happen it got worse and kidneys were passing blood
Never leave an infection super long, listen to your body and get antibiotics if needed:)
Stop all forms of sugar and be taking Garlic.
How soon does garlic relieve uti? Might give me hearburn
Usually within a day or two. Sometimes it doesn't work though, if the infection is bad.
