I have had a problem for about a week. I doubled up on the D-Manoose and extra water and the feeling of urgency went away (you know when you have to go but nothing comes out). I dont have pain and my urine is clear with no smell but the frequency is still there. I did the baking soda 2x and it seemed better but I started doing ACV yesterday when I did another test strip and I was still positive.
Today I feel like crap and its Christmas so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to pick up the prescription. I am just paranoid about this traveling to my kidneys. For me it seems the D-Manoose works well as a preventative but once an infection is settled in there it doesn't work as well. Maybe I didn't drink enough water because some of you are downing gallons and I just can't seem to drink that much!! I'm still doing the ACV because I figure it can't hurt. I guess antibiotics 1 or 2x per year isn't too bad.

Warning
UPDATE. OK guys, I ended having to go to the hospital with a mild kidney infection, and getting Cipro- antibiotics. Now, I'm not saying apple cider vinegar does not work, I believe it does. It helped me with the pain, and staved it off for awhile, but my infection I think, had gone on too long, and was too much, and too advanced for the vinegar cure. Vinegar does work, (and I'm all about for curing yourself independently), for milder cases, but, if you really think you may be having a serious problem, like (Fever, chills), go to the emergency room, and get a taken care of.
