Dr. Larrian Gillespie in her book YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH CYSTITIS shows that the bodies of Urinary Tract sufferers are too ACID, not too ALKALINE! So quit drinking Cranberry juice and swig a pinch of Baking Soda in a glass of water to sooth and alkalanize the Urinary Tract. AND GET HER BOOK! IT'S GREAT! This book includes a diet which helps lower pain by eliminating certain amino acids, like Tryptophan, as in TURKEY!
