Hi,
When I was younger (I remember at least as early as 11) I would get these all the time, and sometimes they would get really bad (fever, chills, pain ect.)that is before I learned how to control them! Sometimes I would get them as often as once a month (but not always).
At first my mom who had been a nurse before having me, would put me on antibiotics(never use these if you want to stay alive and well).
After awhile it became a hassle to goto the doctor and I found at the first sign of a UTI to drink as much cranberry/water as possible I would mix it half/half, the minute I had so much in my system that I had bladder pressure the pain would disappear, I would keep on like this for most the day and it would be over!
I found I would usually get that tell tell discomfort after a day out and about where I knew I had not drunk enough water!
Some years back I stopped getting these, however about the same time I started getting excima on my hands, and then it left my hands had moved to my feet!
About 3 months ago I had done several liver flushes and it all but disappear!
Just over a month ago I started MH's kidney cleanse, by the next day I had a patch of excima show up on my hand where I had not had any in maybe a couple years.
I had heard on a tape by Bill Rich it was supposed to be lack of natural sulfur (MSM) so try his theory I rubbed the MSM cream on to no avail.
I put bagbalm to get some relief (the only thing in the past that would help the bleeding cracks (usually one or two at a time) on my feet heal enough to continue to walk on them!
Still this patch on my hand persisted and cracked, it just kept getting worse. By the time I had been on the KC for 3 weeks my feet had broke out all over!
It is very clear to me whatever it was that caused this all these years (6-7) was hiding in my clogged kidneys, and now my feet and hand have almost fully recovered.
From what I've read recently my chronic UTI where probabty bacteria hiding in my clogged kidneys also!
By the way when I was a kid I always used oceanspray cranberry juice, and it worked fine for me, however I am sure the non sweetened is better just harder to get down!
I don' know where you live but Trader Joe's carries it, I bet some maple syrup would make it pretty good tasting!
I hopes this helps, hopefully it is already over for you and if you do the cleanups I think they will be a thing of the past!
Have a great day!
