A member asked:
I believe i have the beginning stages of a bladder or kidney infection is there anything natural i can take that will cute it without a antibiotic ?

Very unlikely!: You must have a urine culture done, to identify the bacteria and confirm bacterial infection. Once infection is in place, you need an antibiotic! garlic and other foods may help prevent infection, but cannot treat!
