this video is about the top remedies for a uti
updated i had an older video on this topic but i wanted to update it with some new information
a uti stands for urinary tract infection and this can be in the lower part as in a
bladder infection or the upper part which could be more of a kidney infection now the most
common pathogen that's involved with these utis is e coli now normally in our bodies e coli
is not harmful okay it's neutral it lives in our body and it doesn't create any problem
so what would make this e coli unfriendly and the answer to that would be the environment
okay that it lives in so let's go through the different things that can change the environment
for this microbe and there's other microbes too mainly bacteria that can turn more pathogenic
and create this problem number one having high glucose so if you're diabetic you're at a higher
risk than someone that doesn't have diabetes because all this sugar changes the environment
and it feeds a lot of the pathogens especially funguses yeast and candida okay which can
also create a uti so based on that you'd want to definitely cut out the sugar if you have
an uti next point is high estrogen okay now this can occur when someone's pregnant or they're
ovulating there's a higher chance of getting a uti during ovulation and when you're pregnant because
of this estrogen okay so there's definitely a shift of estrogen that can affect your immune
system and also going the other way too because if your estrogen is lower okay that can alter
the um the barrier the like the vaginal flora the good bacteria that's supposed to protect you
and this is why women that are post menopausal have a higher risk of getting utis as well so
estrogen too high or too low can be a problem now the other thing is antibiotics especially can ally
antibiotics kill off not just the good but the bad and then these pathogenic bacteria get pissed
off and then they start to create problems and inflammation and infection and also funguses and
candida because antibiotics don't kill the fungus and the yeast so they live they just you just kill
all the bacteria so now we have this overgrowth it can create a situation and especially
if you have to take frequent antibiotics and you develop this resistance to antibiotics and
then they don't work anymore and now you have utis very very often so it's not the best long term
solution now intercourse can also be a problem with cross contamination and then catheters
can also increase your risk of getting a uti so let me just tell you some really good remedies
that you can use for a uti so the first remnant is called buchu this is probably one of the best
things you can take for uti it's stood the test of time it's been around for a very very long
time it's highly anti-microbial it's anti-at in other words it prevents the bacteria from
attaching it's been shown to decrease the risk of getting infection in the bladder and the prostate
and the urethra and on top of that it's a natural diuretic okay next one is cranberry this one is
also anti-adhesive and it prevents the bacteria from accumulating on the inside of the bladder and
the other ducts and it can also inhibit biofilms which tend to accumulate in the bladder and the
kidney and the connections then you have uva ursi which can act as a natural diuretic and the next
one is juniper which is a great antimicrobial for the bladder as well as a kidney and the
last two things which are not herbal remedies but they're highly recommended number one
doing fasting fasting is probably one of the most potent things to help your immune system
really fast just stop eating for a while maybe a whole day maybe two days and you will probably
see great improvements in your immune system and then also like i just mentioned previously
cut out the carbs go on a low sugar diet because that's what feeds these pathogens so
we want to starve them off especially if it's a yeast infection a candida infection or
a fungal infection all right thanks for watching hey before you go if you're benefiting
from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story
