Health Care

For each organ of the human body there is a herb that outshines all others in its ability to assist that organ when it is diseased. Juniper berries are magic when it comes to the kidney and urinary tract system. I say magic because I have seen it at work and its power to heal the urinary tract system is so powerful and fast that it seems magical.I have seen the power of this herb help many people but the most impressive case I ever saw was a woman (a registered nurse) who had been suffering from urinary tract infections for more then 3 years. She was on antibiotics and had suffered 2 renal failures when I met her. Along with some naturopathic advice on life style I left her with some whole juniper berries. I suggested she take about a half dozen berries 3 times a day and consider that she stop taking the antibiotics.

I got a call 2 days later. She was beside herself because the infection was gone. She could hardly believe that after all those years of suffering that taking a few berries three times a day could stop this infection so quickly. This experience changed that woman's life. The last I heard from her she was studying naturopathic medicine.

But you can see what I am getting at; this berry is a wonderful herb that has the ability to help those who are suffering needlessly with what appears to be an incurable problem. This berry is just a food that has antibiotic and antiviral properties with no side effects.

I do not want to leave you with the impression that I believe in treating a symptom with an herb. Treating symptoms is modern medicine's way of treating disease. As I said above I gave the nurse advice on changing her lifestyle as well as taking juniper berries. If you only treat the symptom you leave the root of the disease to appear somewhere else with more power. So look at your life style that is the root of your urinary problem.

Some Juniper Berry Tips:
If you are taking medication, always check the contraindications of that drug (those things you do not want to take with the medication, such as lithium).

A whole juniper berry that you buy from the health food store (I do not recommend the tea) should be a little bit like a raisin. It should be soft and taste sweet and piney.

Do any of these symptoms sound familiar? Night sweats, chills, fever, vomiting, fatigue, blood in urine, clouded urine, aching mid-section, nighttime urination, unsuccessful bathroom trips, or frequent urination? If so, you are probably experiencing a urinary tract infection and symptoms that go along with it. Though the symptoms are painful, the body is taking an even greater hit because of possible permanent kidney damage or even kidney failure caused by the UTI infection. But there is hope!

If you are experiencing an infection or know someone who is, I encourage you to be pro-active by trying an acidic diet for urinary tract infections. The truth is many people do not seek out treatment because of cost, embarrassment or time. These sufferers deal with the symptoms and hope that the E coli will miraculously pass through the system. And sometimes it does because of you diet (though you might not realize it at the time). But why wait a month to a year waiting and hoping, why not naturally cure U.T.I. with the foods that eat. And most often you can kill the urinary tract infection (usually E coli) in hours and pass it by the next day.

Can you imagine being urinary tract infection-free by this time tomorrow?


The Cause and Cure of Urinary Tract Infections

Knowing the cause can lead to the cure! Therefore, it is always important to look at the cause of the infection before we look to the cure. In the case of a urinary tract infection, E coli (Escherichia coli) is the culprit for the infection in the urinary tract.

E coli is a harmful bacteria that is often associated with cattle and spinach. In 2006, an E coli strain swept through the U.S. by contaminating spinach. However, this E coli is not only limited to cattle or spinach, in fact, you also have E coli in your intestines to break down and digest food. And finally, this harmful disease can also be in your urinary tract and bladder if your immunity is down. In addition, U.T.I.s (especially urethritis) can result from sexually-transmitted diseases, such as herpes simplex virus, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia.

And now the good news! You can drastically increase your immunity and kill the E coli by supplements and a healthy diet.

Naturally Cure UTI with an Acidic Diet and Vitamin C

While you read these words, the bacteria in your urinary tract are growing and multiplying slowly. Therefore, to naturally cure U.T.I., you must kill the bacteria in your system and flush it out of your body. And your body is ready to do all of this if given the right tools to do the job. Are you ready to arm your body with the weapons it needs?

By creating a hostile environment in your urinary tract and bladder, you can actually naturally cure urinary tact infections. But how? The simple cure is to kill the E coli bacteria through highly potent acidic foods and Vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid). And your body's only response to the acidic food is a heightened immunity to other diseases and infections.

By allowing natural acids (found in nature) to reach the bladder you can kill the harmful bacteria in the urinary tract. And by supplementing with Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, your white blood cells will engage to kill the infection permanently.

If you choose to treat your infection with a home remedy, it would also be important to note how your body has a natural pH (acid and alkaline balance). By choosing alkaline foods/supplements to balance the acidic potency, you are on the sure path to naturally cure U.T.I. and also to better overall health.
