What is
a Urinary Tract Infection?
Infections of the Urinary Tract are extremely
common, accounting for more than 8 million doctor's visits a year.
Approximately 8 - 10 million people
in the USA develop a UTI each year. Men, women and children
develop UTI's.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's) usually occurs
when bacteria enter the opening of the urethra
and multiply in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the
two kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to
the bladder), the bladder itself, and the urethra (the tube that
carries urine from the bladder to the urethral opening).
Twenty percent of women in the United States
develop a UTI and twenty percent of those have a recurrence.
Urinary tract infections in children are most common in those
under the age of 2. (More
on causes and risk factors)
Infections in women
Women are more prone to UTI's,
probably because they have shorter urethras which therefore pass
bacteria into the urinary tract more easily.
Statistics show that one in every five women will develop
a UTI during her lifetime. Some women are prone to
recurring infections.
Women who have had more than three
UTI's are likely to continue to develop recurrences within 18
months of a UTI. In severe cases this can be even more frequent.
Infections in men
Men are not as prone to UTI's as
women, but infections are still common. The prostate gland in men
produces secretions that retard the growth of bacteria and
a healthy prostate is one of the best defenses against UTI's in
men (see
Prostate Dr).
While men develop UTI's less frequently than women, their
infections tend to be more severe. UTI's in men are often caused
by an obstruction (e.g. a urinary stone) or an enlarged prostate.
Prostate infections are more difficult to cure via conventional
means because many antibiotics do
not easily penetrate infected prostate tissue.
What is
the usual treatment for a UTI?
Once a UTI has been diagnosed, most
conventional doctors choose antibiotics as the
preferred treatment. A course of antibiotics can quickly cure a
UTI and kill the bacteria that cause it.
Although antibiotics certainly have their place, there are two
main problems with antibiotic use for urinary tract infections:
1. Due to the frequency of
antibiotic use for UTI's and other infections, bacteria are
developing a resistance to the
antibiotics, making them less and less effective. The
'smarter' the antibiotics become, the 'smarter' the bacteria
become as well. Eventually, the bacteria will mutate to avoid the
effects of the antibiotics.
2. Frequent use of antibiotics
will also affect your immune system functioning.
As we have seen above, a healthy immune system is important in the
prevention of UTI's. This means that the antibiotics that are used
to cure your UTI may make another infection more likely in the
near future.
Natural
Remedies
There are many natural
herbs which are extremely effective in the treatment and
prevention of UTI's. Some of these have been used for centuries
and many have been subjected to clinical trials which prove their
effectiveness.
Using the knowledge and experience of experts in the field of
natural and indigenous medicine, Native Remedies has developed a
unique formula containing a total of seven
therapeutic herbs, specially selected to relieve
the symptoms of UTI's and promote the health of the urinary
system.
When
should I use UTI-Clear?
A few drops of UTI-Clear at
the first signs of infection (burning and frequent
urination, fever, stomach cramps or lower back ache) can help to
clear the infection and stop it from recurring time and time
again. Give UTI-Clear to your partner to prevent
re-infection.
How has
UTI-Clear helped others?
"I am not the
type of person to write a testimonial, but feel compelled to do so
because of how UTI-Clear has changed the quality
of my life. For about 7 years I have suffered with urinary tract
infections and could not understand why I chronically had these
while other women I know never did. I could not maintain a regular
sex life because of this problem. Last year I was on antibiotics 8
times for urinary tract infections. The gynecologist who was
prescribing these told me I must go to a urologist to begin
considering surgery. I began to do research about why some women
chronically have UTI's and others do not, when I came across
nativeremedies.com. I immediately ordered the UTI-Clear.
It has been about 7 months and I have not had one urinary tract
infection since I began taking this product. Thank you, it has
changed my life in every area."-

"When I ordered
it for the first time a few months ago, I got just one bottle
because I really didn't expect it to work. Having tried so many
other natural remedies that failed, I just didn't believe a
product existed that could eliminate my recurring UTIs. Well, I'm
a believer. I've suffered from UTIs for more than 5 years. Doctors
prescribed a preventative antibiotic which did work, but I really
hated the idea of taking antibiotics so frequently. The
UTI-Clear must be taken as directed to work but if you
follow the simple instructions, it works. It did for me. I tried
taking more than the required dosage of 15 drops and it made me
queasy. It wasn't necessary anyway, as I later learned. I've told
my friends and family about this product and I'm very thankful to
have found it.
By the way, I've since purchased 4 additional bottles and they've
all worked exactly the same, unlike other products where the first
bottle is better than the rest." -

"When I got a
major UTI last year, my first move was to go to the ER. I was in
so much pain, I needed a fix. But they gave me heavy-duty
antibiotics and I felt tired and weak for months after that...and
my UTI kept coming back. I also got a couple of yeast infections
because of the imbalance the antibiotics had created in my body. I
bought UTI-Clear as a last resort and started
feeling better as soon as the first day. After 3 days, I was
better than I had been in months! I've been on UTI-Clear
for 6 months. I just take UTI-Clear once a week for prevention and
it just works!!!" - Anne, NY
"I have never
before felt compelled to write a testimonial, but UTI-Clear
actually worked! I had two UTIs in two months, and a frustrating
third trip to the doctor after the antibiotics didn't clear up the
second one, so finally I broke down and bought this product as a
last minute resort. I hated the thought of flooding my body with
too many antibiotics, and was terrified of developing an immunity.
About another month after my second UTI cleared up, I got yet
another one. Instead of going to the doctor, I tried using
UTI-Clear (but I have to admit I had very little faith in
the product). The first two days I noticed very little difference,
but beginning the third day of taking the recommended dosage, all
of my symptoms cleared. I stopped using UTI-Clear
after five days, and the symptoms did not reappear. I held my
breath for another week or so, but my infection seemed to be
completely gone. It has been over a month and a half since I used
UTI-Clear, and everything has been fine. Thank
you for this product. It worked better than I ever expected, and I
will absolutely continue using it when necessary." -

"I'M IN SHOCK
AND AWE...I was very skeptical, of course, when reading the
web-site. But something in me just said try it...I had a bladder
infection...(the kind where it feels like you're peeing fire)..I
ordered UTI-Clear (thank God for next day air
shipping). I followed the directions and BAM its gone...gone with
no antibiotics..(antibiotics really screw up my stomach)...WOW it
really really worked...I'm telling everyone I know about this
site...I do not know the owner or anyone that works for this
company..I have nothing to gain and no I'm not even getting paid
for my testimonial. I just want to spread my good news....thank
you Native Remedies!!!" - Barbara,

"I have suffered
with UTI’s since I became sexually active at 17, I had a touch of
the problem as a child, although nothing serious. There have been
only a handful of times when sex hasn’t given me an infection. I
tried everything under the sun, you name it, and I’ve tried it.
Everything the doctors suggested, everything I’d researches
myself, everything! I’m 26 now and have only just discovered what
sex without subsequent pain is all about! I have been prescribed
antibiotics 26 times over the last 8 years and they were only the
really bad cases, more often than not I just suffered. I couldn’t
afford to keep taking time of work and the antibiotics were
starting to not work after a couple of six-month courses. I have
had scans and referrals but the doctors said themselves that they
though it was something I’d just have to put up with for life. I
couldn’t understand why it seemed to be only me; no one else I
knew had this problem. My best friend forwarded me a link to the
Native Remedies website, I was pretty unhopeful initially; I just
thought, "here we go again, more money, no result" But to my shock
and delight, it really works! I take ten drops of UTI-Clear
and ten drops of ImmunityPlus three times a day and I’ve not even
had a twinge in the time I’ve been taking it! I've been absolutely
fine for 8 weeks now! It’s a total life change for me, I’m so
thankful to you! Many, many thanks." -

"I just have too
applaud this product. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am the UTI
QUEEN, plus having had 17 kidney stones. I started using this
product and I could tell the difference the next day. I don't have
to worry about the urgency to go to the bathroom, because with MS
I can't run :) I want to THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN." -

"For the past
year, I've endured urinary tract infections about once every two
months. I've spent so much money on doctor visits, lab tests, and
antibiotics. Finally, in January 2006, I was getting ready to
leave for vacation, and I felt another infection starting. I
couldn't bear the idea of going to the doctor again, and going
through the same diagnosis routine, when I clearly knew what was
going on... Obviously, I had a urinary tract infection, but I
needed to SEE the doctor so he could properly treat me. AND I had
to have a lab test to PROVE that I had an infection. And then the
doctor would prescribe yet another very strong antibiotic to cure
it (I had already had an allergic reaction to one of the
antibiotics). I was so frustrated. So I decided to search the
internet for a natural cure. I found the Native Remedies website,
and read all the reviews. Let me say first that I AM NOT A
TRUSTING PERSON when it comes to buying this kind of thing online.
I was very skeptical about Native Remedies. But I was at the end
of my rope. I ordered UTI-Clear, paid the extra
money for the overnight delivery, and crossed my fingers. UTI-Clear
tasted awful!!! But, in less than three days, my infection had
completely disappeared. It's been three months since then, and I
haven't had any recurrence of the infection. I'm sold!" -

"Within the last
two years I have been plagued every couple of months with a UTI. I
don't know what causes them and neither did my doctor. The only
thing he would say is, "You're a woman. Expect it." That's crap! I
wasn't born with them and my body wasn't made to just "expect it".
I got tired of the pain, the expense, and having to take
antibiotics. And besides, the medicine the doctor was giving me
seemed to stop working altogether. The UTI's just kept coming
back. I was desperate. I happened upon this website and saw
UTI-Clear. Believing I had absolutely nothing to
lose, I bought a bottle. OH MY GOSH!! I cannot believe how fast
this worked and that it worked period! I have never taken any kind
of herbs for medicinal purposes in my life but I'm going to now!
Good bye doctors. Ladies, take it from me. You cannot lose buying
this product. Not only does it work, it is sooooo simple to take.
And, you don't even have to drink a full glass of water. Just
10-15 drops in 1/4 cup of water. I felt positive results in 12
hours, and my UTI was gone completely in 24 hours. I cannot
believe this product is that good. I will never go back to my
personal doctor for another UTI. If I ever feel another one
coming, I will take UTI-Clear. Buy this stuff.
You will not be sorry! Thank you Native Remedies. I have told all
my friends about you." - Pat, MO

Is
there anything else I can do to prevent a
UTI?
Yes! Here are some things that you
can do to take responsibility for the continued health of your
urinary tract system.
1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
Remember that urine flushes out bacteria from the urinary tract
and therefore prevents infection. Sufficient water every day is
necessary for regular urination.
2. Some women are prone to develop a UTI after sexual
intercourse. Cleansing the penis and the vagina
both before and after making love will help to prevent infection.
It will also helps for women to completely empty their bladders
after sex, so that the urine can flush out any bacteria which may
have entered the urethra during intercourse.
3. Avoid the use of scented vaginal sprays and douches.
These products are more beneficial to their manufacturers
than they are to female health! Always wear panties with a cotton
gusset.
4. For recurring infections, it is recommended
that both men and women take a regular course of
ImmunityPlus (see
below for a 20%
special on our PowerPack)- a natural remedy specially formulated
to boost the immune system and protect against all types of
infection, including UTI's.
5. It is also highly
recommended that all men over the age of fifty use
Prostate Dr. - a formula that promotes prostate health and
helps to relieve and protect against the symptoms of BPH and
prostatitis. BPH (Benign Prostate Hypertrophy) is a condition that
causes swelling and enlargement of the prostate gland, which in
turn can increase the likelihood of men developing a UTI.
How do
I use UTI-Clear?
Dosage:
Take 15 drops in a little water 3 times per day.
One bottle holds about 45 doses and
will last 15 days. We recommend keeping one bottle of UTI-Clear
on hand at all times.
For maximum results use with
ImmunityPlus (see special PowerPack below).
Caution: Safety
during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not yet been established.
How
long until I see results?
Due to the fast-acting tincture
formula, just a few drops of UTI-Clear in a little water will show
results within about 24 hours.
Continued use over a period of
3 - 5 days will completely clear the symptoms of
most bacterial UTI's without the use of antibiotics and without
compromising your immune system.
Use consistently and drink at least
eight glasses of water a day.
