Dear UTI,I m sorry to hear about your finincial situation.  It is unfortunate that the U.S. "Health" care system isn't there for you.  However, maybe that's a good thing. I'm not your personal physician and I don't know your case.  I do know that almost every Urinary Tract Infection can be cured by three major things.  1. Take loads of cranberry pills. Don't drink sugar added or from concentrate Cranberry Juice.2. Take 2000-3000 units of Bromelain (an enzyme from pineapples) three times per day. It is a natural anti-inflammatory.  If you happen to be allergic to pineapples don't take it.3. Hi dose Vitamin C. 3000 mg, 3 times per day with food.If you do take these and eliminate sugar, alcohol and sleepless nights (stress) from your days you will heal quickly. If you begin having intense back pain, bite the bullet and get to the Emergency room.I encourage you strongly to see a Chiropractor.  Call any wellness based Chiropractor and ask for a free consultation.  Exams and X-Rays come at a cost but it is worth meeting the Doctor who might change your life.I wish you the best this winter season.Yours in health,Dr.M
