UTIs are easily treated without antibiotics. Most UTI's are caused by gram negative bacteria who HATE highly mineralized environments. At onset you do 1 tsp of SEA SALT (not table salt) in water and down. Will cut pain right away. Then do 2 tsp D-mannose in water 5 times a day with pinches of sea salt in all water throughout day and night. Usually within two days symptoms are gone. Can repeat initial salt glass for pain flare. Typically repeat UTIs are caused by drinking water lacking in minerals such as cheap bottled water or reverse osmosis water.
