Antibiotics vs. urinary tract infections

A challenge for doctors

Cystitis in general is a challenge for doctors and health experts because it justifies the use of antibiotics over prolonged periods of time. As the phenomena of resistance of bacteria to antibiotics are becoming more frequent, it is necessary to do as much as possible to avoid them, because taking antibiotics can give rise to toxic side effects such as hypersensitivity reactions, especially in the elderly. Aside from hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylactic reactions, one of the dangerous complications of antibiotic therapy is Steven Johnson syndrome or SJS, a hypersensitivity complex that involves the skin and mucous membranes resulting from the use of penicillin and sulfonamides.

All of these toxic effects of antibiotics have led experts to study other ways on how to avoid and treat recurrent urinary tract infections. The most natural way identified to date is the consumption of cranberry products macrocarpon and other small fruits such as wild blueberries that are particularly rich in proanthocyans, this phyto-antioxidant active for the prevention of recurrent cystitis. It is very important that cranberry and wild blueberry products (strong in proanthocyan and other effective phytonutrients against E-coli bacteria) contain the whole fruit, that is, its peel, pulp, seeds and juice. This is also the reason that the effectiveness of several products available on the market and also industrial cranberry juice are questionable.

Urinary tract infections should not be taken lightly as they can become chronic and quickly lead to kidney failure. From the first urinary burns and frequent urges to urinate, it is generally advisable to consult your doctor or health care practitioner as soon as possible. In severe cases causing a high fever, impaired general condition or complication, hospitalization will likely be necessary.

Alternatives

In the meantime, put the odds on your side and try to get rid of the problem naturally by following the following recommendations:

• Drink a lot preferably acidic drinks, especially 100% pure juice (no cocktail – too much sugar) of American cranberry(macrocarp)and urinate a lot
• Take a rest
• Remove dairy products including cheese and milk
• Remove alcohol
• Make a diet as vegetarian as possible

The consumption of cranberry macrocarpon for preventive purposes but also as an adjunct treatment is recommended.
