I woke up this morning with what I can only describe as a 'raging' bladder infection - the worst I have ever had. Without being a whole lot more graphic lets just say that I was very, very miserable! All I could do was pace the floor. I started drinking a lot of water and taking lots of Vitamin C. I have been doing some footsoaks but not much baths yet. I got in a hot bath with 1c.ES, 1c.BS, 2c.H2O2(3%), and 1t. CH powder. It began to improve at once. I only lasted 25 minutes in the bath but by the time I got out, the symptoms were nearly gone. I did the alkaline drink then and now, a few hours later, I am as good as new and going to take another drink soon. Moreover, when I got out and all day my painful feet (tendonitis) were the best they have been for months and have hardly bothered me all day. I think I am now converted to the baths enough to make time for them more often!

Conventional/Alternative medicine would say lots of water, cranberry juice and vitamin C (also marshmallow root tea- very soothing). This is what I have always done in the past. The idea is supposed to be that the lining of the bladder had become too alkaline, allowing bacteria to adhere and grow. The cranberry and C are supposed to reacidify the area and cut out the bacteria. Is this another example of "things not always what they at first may seem"? Because the alkalinizing bath and drinks definitely did the trick! Thank you Moreless!
