Food storage/medicine question: Treatment for urinary-tract infections
 

My wife is especially prone to urinary-tract infections due to the fact she is a part-time wheelchair user because of a spinal condition, and as we've been increasing and modifying our long-term storage inventory of both food and medicine, we got to talking tonight about the space constraints of our current living quarters relative to stocking up a large supply of cranberry juice, which she drinks every day as a means of helping prevent UTIs. So I was wondering if dehydrated or powdered cranberries would work just as well in helping prevent UTIs (with the powder I'm thinking it could be reconstituted as juice) or what other long-term storage-friendly options we might have for products to help keep her healthy. Ladies, any suggestions?

Order in a supply of antibiotics.

There are many threads here related to purchasing drugs online and recommended websites. I have used BM Pharmacy several times without any issues. They will take a Visa card or you can mail them a check, I've done both. Takes about 2 weeks to get your stuff.

No prescription needed and no online doctor consultation.

I think they make cranberry pills too, although I've never used them. It seems like they would be easier to store than cranberry juice.

I am not a woman:, but Cipro is great for UTI issues. It will store for many years. Get your DR to write you a few extras and keep them, Cipro is a great catch all for everything from UTI to sinus infections and everything in between.

One side affect with women is yeast infections.

Wife swears by the cranberry pills. It is better to use 100% cranberry juice, but it is hard to find.

Another vote for Cipro. It can be taken for exended periods, eight months and longer depending on how one can tolerate it. It's real good with Prostetitis (inflimation of the prostate), and that is really no fun. Get, keep, and try Cipro.:ok:

Go to www.herbdoc.com and try the kidney-bladder cleanse. Very high quality products. Anyone interested in learning about natural healing can learn alot from Dr. Schulze. Also, by growing your own herbs, you can be independent from the deteriorating medical system.
