Oh...can you get fresh cranberries? They're out of season here. If so,

you could easily make up your own. Thing is, with the juice you have to

check the side as to whether is just cranberries and water and perhaps a

sweetener, or cranberry juice cocktail, which has a number of things in

it. Perhpas the capsules would work better for you, though. I've used

cranberry juice on several occasions to clear up a bladder infection -

but, perhaps yours is more resistant. Of course, it might be as simple as

it just doesn't work for you.. I guess all methods don't work for

everybody. But, let me just say, a couple times I've had a bad enough

infection where I was peeing blood. Literally. The last time it happened,

we were on our way across country. I had a very high fever as well. But

didn't want to stop to find a doctor or a hospital, so I tried the

cranberry juice things once again - and it worked for me. Took several

days, but my fever went down, my urine cleared up, and I began to feel

human again. However, I wouldn't suggest what I did to anyone one else.

In retrospect it was probably more than a little stupid. I must have been

very persuasive, though, as my DH said I was emphatic about not going to

the hospital.

I know you would like to cure what you have by natural methods. I've

known a couple of women who had antibiotic resistant bladder infections.

My first husband was wounded in Vietnam, and as a result was prone to

severe bladder infections. He often had to use a catheter to empty it.

Now, I don't know if they have come up with something new, but years ago,

when he had this condition, there were only 3 antibiotics that would

work. Once one had been used, it couldn't be used again as it wouldn't

work. We were told that the fourth infection could be fatal, as there

wasn't anything that could cure it, antibiotic-wise. I'm not exactly why

it would be fatal - I think there were some things I hadn't been told.

But, back then, we pretty much believed what the doctors told

us....

Well, I bought cranberry juice

the way they have here, one liter in a brick form carton. But it is not

pure, you can drink it out of the carton, so it is mostly water. Either

it does not work, or it is not strong enough.....when it does not

help.

Well,, pure in the sense that it's just cranberries and water....Although

it is a bit tart. But, I like tart things....Can also add a bit of

sweetener if it's too tart. Stevia is wonderful, if you haven't used it

yet. Be careful, though, a little goes a very long way. You can

also easily make it from fresh cranberries. Don't know if frozen would

work, but I would think so. btw, how do you know it's not strong enough?

Just curious...
