UTI - Urinary Tract Infection
4 steps to cure a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) - (3) Alkalize urine / bladder

How to cure a UTI: 1-2-3-4

(3) Alkalize urine / bladder

Alkalizing the urine helps neutralize a UTI by reducing acidity (raising the pH / alkalinity) closer to a neutral pH level (overly acid conditions are often present with a UTI).

Baking Soda

•   Take 1 tsp. baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in 1 Cup water 3 times per day until symptoms resolve.   The taste of this drink can be improved by adding the juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime and using soda water instead of plain water. If using liquid GSE, the drops can be added to this drink.

Calcium Citrate Tablets

•   When symptoms are strong, take 2000 mg calcium citrate (2 - 1000mg tablets) per dose with 8oz water at mealtimes , three times per day until symptoms decrease, then take 2000 mg per day, until UTI is gone.

•   Take at least 3 hours before bedtime.    Since it may cause irritation as it sits in the bladder overnight;

Other alkalizing tactics

-    Potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, or sodium citrate will also alkalize the urine

-   Lemon/Barley water.   Helps control infection ;

-    A diet high in citrus fruit or vegetables can increase urine pH (make more alkaline);

Acid/Alkaline Balance

-    It is probably NOT a good idea to drink cranberry juice.    If the offending bacteria is E. Coli (90% of cases), it will increase urine acidity, providing a “Happy Hotel” for E. Coli visitors.
