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.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) 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 urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder to the urethral opening).

The special connection of the ureters at the bladder help prevent urine from backing up into the kidneys, and the flow of urine through the urethra helps to eliminate bacteria. Men, women, and children develop UTIs.

Twenty percent of women in the United States develop a UTI and 20% of those have a recurrence. Urinary tract infections in children are more common in those under the age of 2.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes about 80% of UTIs in adults. These bacteria are normally present in the colon and may enter the urethral opening from the skin around the anus and genitals. Women may be more susceptible to UTI because their urethral opening is near the source of bacteria (e.g., anus, vagina) and their urethra is shorter, providing bacteria easier access to the bladder. Other bacteria that cause urinary tract infections include Staphylococcus saprophyticus (5 to 15% of cases), Chlamydia trachomatis, and Mycoplasma hominis. Men and women infected with chlamydia trachomatis or mycoplasma hominis can transmit the bacteria to their partner during sexual intercourse, causing UTI.

Sexual intercourse triggers UTI in some women, for unknown reasons. Women who use a diaphragm develop infections more often, and condoms with spermicidal foam may cause the growth of E. coli in the vagina, which may enter the urethra.

Urinary catheterization (small tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine) can also cause UTI by introducing bacteria into the urinary tract. The risk for developing a UTI increases when long-term catheterization is required.

In infants, bacteria from soiled diapers can enter the urethra and cause UTI. E. coli may also enter the urethral opening when young girls do not wipe from front to back after a bowel movement.

Symptoms of Lower UTI (Cystitis, Urethritis) in Adults:

• Back pain
• Blood in the urine (hematuria)
• Cloudy urine
• Inability to urinate despite the urge
• Fever
• Frequent need to urinate
• Painful urination (dysuria)
• Malaise (general discomfort)

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 woman in five 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' are the bacteria, which 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, especially selected to relieve the symptoms of UTI and promote the health of the urinary system.

What are the ingredients?

Agothosma betulina (buchu) is a urinary antiseptic and possesses diuretic properties. Buchu has been used by the natives of the Western Cape of Southern Africa for many centuries. Early Dutch settlers used buchu to make a brandy tincture and Boegoebrandewyn (buchu brandy) is still used today to treat many disorders.

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (umbabazane) has been shown to kill bacteria in the urine. Achillea millifolium contains alkamides and volatile oils rich in sesquiterpene lactones which act as an anti-inflammatory.

Melissa Officinalis (lemon balm) is indigenous to the Eastern Mediterranean region but is widespread throughout Africa. It is often used as a general nervous system restorative, digestive calminative and to reduce blood pressure. It acts as an anti-viral and its active ingredients include volatile oil (including citronella), tannins, flavinoids, tocopherols and choline.

Avena Sativa (also called Hawer) is used as a restorative and nutritive tonic and as a diuretic.

Hypericum perforatum is used for viral and bacterial infections.

Echinacea angustifolia increases body resistance to infection and has a powerful antiseptic action.

Vaccinium myrtillus (billberry) contains anthocyanosides, a potent bioflavonoid complex with antioxidant properties.

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 ImmunityPlus Ordering Information

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.

After that, use UTI-Clear for three days at the very first signs of a recurring infection to stop the infection in its tracks.

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 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 especially formulated to boost the immune system and protect against all types of infection, including UTI.

5. It is also highly recommended that all men over the age of 50, 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 which causes swelling and enlargement of the prostate gland, which in turn can increase the likelihood of men developing a UTI.

Is there anything else that can help?

Most herbal remedies are designed or formulated to deal with a specific health condition, to tackle that one condition directly. However, the origin of most health problems can be traced back to ill-functioning cells within our bodies. A company, not associated with Native Remedies, called ForeverGreen is now making a general, whole body tonic that appears to be truly revolutionary. What makes it so unique is that its main curative ingredient is marine phytoplankton, the one celled herbs that are the foundation for all life in the sea.

What People Using UTI-Clear Have Said

"Hi Guys! I had to write you and say thanks a lot for UTI-Clear. I had 3 urinary tract infections within the past year. I would take prescribed antibiotics and it would go away but come back again. My bladder became terribly weak and I even would urinate on myself if I could make it quick enough to the restroom. I tried UTI-Clear and it speaks for itself. IT worked wonderfully in only 3 days. All of the weak bladder symptoms and other urinary tract symptoms went away and has yet to return. Thanks guys!." VERY HAPPY in Georgia

"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." - Ann, NY, U.S.A.

"UTI-Clear has worked very well to clear up this infection. I do have recurring infections and at one point, they caused my cervix to become inflamed, causing pap smears to come back abnormal. I'm glad to have found this product to help clear this up without antibiotics. Thank you." - Cynthia, FL, USA

I am very pleased with the results, and this is to show my appreciation for your quality products." - Lissette, U.S.A.

"I am a disabled man (quadraplegic) from an accident I had 25 years ago. For most of that 25 years I have suffered from urinary tract infections, some very severe at times. I have used antibiotics to the point they are not very effective anymore. The last time I had a UTI the antibiotic pills were ineffective and had to be in the hospital for 10 days of IV antibiotics. I am very excited about using your UTI-Clear product and just wish I had found this years ago. I recently started coming down with another bad infection when I tried this great product for the first time. After just a few days using UTI-Clear I felt great and did not experience the bad side effects of antibiotics. Thank you very much for this life saving product." - John, Texas, USA

"I suffered with recurring Urinary Tract Infection and the antibiotics provided by my doctor offer only temporary relief. I found UTI-Clear and ImmunityPlus on the web and my symptoms have now cleared to the extent that I no longer suffer the agony of this uncomfortable condition. I am grateful that the products are available (shipped) internationally as I have been unable to locate such a beneficial product in the UK." - Barbara, Lancashire, UK

"I have suffered for 6 years with chronic UTI, and have been on constant antibiotic therapy. As a last attempt at relief, I came across UTI-Clear. It began working in 2 days and I have been symptom free since I began using it 3 weeks ago. I finally feel relief, and would recommend this product to anyone who has suffered like I have." - Karen, CA, USA

"I have been using these products for almost a year now. They actually work! I was in the hospital for 2 years. I've been home for just over a year now and I'm still bed bound so I have many special issues. I have a Foley catheter and I'm only now starting to sit up more. While in the hospital [for things too numerous to mention here, but I did nearly die 4 times] they discovered I have an antibiotic resistant UTI. On top of everything else I've had to deal with this. It makes having a catheter especially difficult. I also had raging yeast problems from being on so many antibiotics. These 3 products have been a God send. They're definitely helping to ease my discomfort. I was told the infection would never go away, but it's under control more now. And when the catheter comes out, I have complete faith that my body will return to normal and I'll have no pain anymore. Until then, the UTI Clear has kept the infection from returning to my kidneys. I can't thank you enough, or my father, since he was the one who found you!"- Elisabeth, NJ

"I have to admit that initially I ordered UTI Clear as a last resort but I can't believe how well it works!! I have suffered from recurrent UTI for 25 years and have had endless courses of antibiotics, followed up by endless medical investigations. However with this amazing product I really have been able to change my life. I can't thank you enough." - JB, UK

"I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your products ImmunityPlus and UTI Clear. I was having a frustrating time with bladder infections that were very selective in their symptoms and only partially cured by antibiotics. I did not have typical symptoms of frequency and pain on urination. I had dull pains in my lower back and sometimes blood in my urine (sometimes not) but no other symptoms. The doctors said the urinalysis was inconclusive for bacteria but that I had an elevated white blood count, which signaled an infection. But doctors were puzzled by what antibiotic to prescribe. The antibiotics they did subscribe were somewhat slow to work and symptoms often returned in a couple of weeks. With UTI Clear, I take only a small dosage every day (about 5 drops of each) in water and I am completely symptom free. To illustrate the point, I ran out of the treatment and for about 6 months I was still completely healthy. ImmunityPlus works even better. I almost never have colds. If I start to feel rundown (I have a very stressful job) or I am around people who are sick, I increase the dosage to the recommended three times a day. It really works."- Lisa M.
