Remedies needed for frequent urination without burning

Posted By Bonbon (Pierson, Florida) on 09/27/2014

Bladder infection:

I'm female and 52. Average weight and active. I have had blood pressure issues for years. I have a phobia of the medical system for so many reasons it would take too long to explain.

Because of the bp thing I'm always concerned about my kidneys. I had blood work done going on 3 yrs ago and my kidney function was normal.

Last year I bought a infrared sauna to help with my bp and it seems to help. Unfortunately I have to rely on how I feel because I have anxiety whenever using the machines and can't get an accurate reading.

Anyway, I've been having bladder control issues and frequent urination on and off for quite sometime now. I have not had a bladder infection or uti since I can remember. Anytime I feel something coming on I grab the unsweetened cranberry juice and it's better. But last week I started feeling a little pain in my pelvic area. Didn't last long but the next day started a little pain in my back mid right side. So started the cranberry thing. I also did the Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda. Only did it once because I'm not sure with the bp. I went and got a test kit. No bacteria but WBC showed up. So now I'm on colloidal silver, a bladder pill from the health food store that's Angelica herb, cellfood, and I've been juicing apple, celery, carrots and ginger.

I might mention that I have been off the beer and wine for awhile now. No swelling, no nausea, and I feel relatively good other than my side aches a little. Oh, and I feel like I have to pee a lot. No burning.

Any suggestions?

I can't diagnose the root cause of what is going on but I use the process of elimination method. A quick powerful way to eliminate that the root problem is not the bladder is this.

Take 500 mg Uva Ursi in glass of water with one tsp of baking soda twice a day on empty stomach. The alkaline is needed to release the active ingredient in the herb. Don't take longer than a week. It will knock the infection out pretty quickly within two days. I'd take double dose the first day.

HI Bon Bon

I too have high blood pressure and always thinking about the kidneys and also have a fear of the medical system.. All they did for me was give me drugs that barely worked and gave me many side effects.. I have had blood work two years ago and now I am afraid to get anymore as I don't want to have to take any more pills.. anyway; I am trying different natural remedies for the hbp and they are working okay.. not great but I am still on some medication though and weaning off. still been tweaking and experimenting... I do drink 8 glasses of water day if I can .. is there a way you can speak with a qualified person at the health food store or another health site where the people chat with each other.. I have heard astragulus is good for kidneys along with lemons.. I drink lemon water a lot... I do some meditations and healing waves for kidneys from utube also...

hopefully someone else will come by with better info..

PS. not sure about the baking soda as it has a ton of sodium in it..

Thanks for the advise. Things seem better today. I have been to my local health food store where the owner is very knowledgable. That is where I got the info and all the stuff I'm doing. He said if I followed his directions it would be better by the end of the weekend.

I will research the Uvi Ursi. I've not heard of it before.

It's a far infrared sauna. The one I bought is a Sunlighten. It's approved by the FDA. And you can write it off on your tax's.

Well, I think I messed up yesterday by taking a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and water. I felt really good yesterday. No more pressure, no back pain, lots of energy. Then I took the Apple Cider Vinegar drink thinking it might help my over all Heath. By last night I was feeling the pressure again. No pain or back pain. Then today same thing. Then this afternoon when I peed there was a teeny tiny orange dot on the tissue when I wiped. Now I'm freaking out. I'm hoping it's just irritation from the acv.

I failed to mention that lately when I get up in the middle of the night to pee it's smelly.

To Bonbon,

Re possible infection;

Two suggestions...first keep up the colloidal silver...I'd use two tablespoons on empty stomach three times daily for a month.

Second; don't overlook (given what you describe) a kidney stone. Very good suggestions on stones on the Ailments section of EC. I have rid myself of kidney stones about five times in last seven years. Starts as an ache in side of back. At first seems like a muscle or rib out but it worsens over time and in a few days is hurting. Then I go to the lemon cure. Six lemons daily...one half in glass of water...so twelve glass of water with half lemon daily...for 14 days. The acid in lemon gently cuts away edges of stone. Then stone can be flushed out of system. Some recommend a quarter cup of an oil after four days to help flush.

Thanks Dave. I kind of think it could be a stone. Maybe even in my bladder. But if it is just inflamation, how is the lemon going to affect it. I'm afraid it may make things worse since things seemed better till I did the acv.

As far as colloidal silver. The directions say 1 teaspoon. Is it safe to take as much as you're describing? Is there a better brand than another? Thanks for your input.

Hello again Bonbon,

See my article on Colloidal Silver on EC's Remedies section...two articles and mine is "Colloidal Silver...Miracle Cure or Blue Man"...

And for the likely problem...it's a stone...

Well, I've never had a problem with high doses of lemon juice spread out in a large glass of water ... 12 a day. As I said, I've done it five or six times. Do look at the ailments section of EC...under Ailments...Kidney Stones.

On the amount of how much CS to take; I take two tablespoons three times daily. Concentrations vary according to brand.

I have read that article. I think you're right about it being a stone. I'm going to get to work on that. The protocol says to start with apple juice.

Thanks again.

you said you had pain on right side so that could be stone in gall bladder.

Does the olive oil and lemon juice work on all stones? What about gallstones and bladder stones?

Hi Dave. I started the lemon water. How much water? I have never had problems like this before so I don't know what to expect. Will I get pain?

Dave, I should have been more specific. Should I drink it it more of a shot with a little water or with a larger glass of water?

I am much better. I started drinking the lemon water daily and added stone breaker. I have not experienced much pain. In fact the nagging pain in my back is gone and I don't feel like I have to pee all the time. And when I go, I really go. Thanks for all the advise!
