Also along with a constitutional homeopathic medicine,water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society for UTI..
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2.. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5.If u are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

Please take three doses of Silicea 200c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and report back after 15 days.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Re: urinary tract infection From ganesh2280 on 2004-12-09
Dear Doctors and practitioners,
I thank for the response toi my query in the forum. It is really surprising to see great response from one and all.
My wife is sitting next to me and i am interpreting it so that you people can understand it and advise accordingly.
Urine: Almost all uncontrollable urge to urinate.
The urge to almost urinate every half an hour.
Sometimes even after urination she feels that she must urinate again. The sensation of uncomplete urination
or unsatisfied urination. A sensation as if something is pulling or from the top at an area just below navel.
Burning sensation after urination.
Itching commences as soon as she completes urination. After itching there is burning sensation. There is redness on the
affected area. The area near her urethra and on its sides.
Burning sensation and Itching sensation usually starts in the evening.
I think there is one striking symptom here : she cannot toleratethe touch of her clothes on the body when
she walks.
hot or warm water decreases the pain.
urine colour : pale yellow. pus cells : 10-15/ hpf epithelial cells : 2-4/hpf
sp gravity : 1.025 sugar : nil. albumin : trace
I do not if this related to pregnancy or not but she sleeps for a very brief period of time say at 3.00 a.m.. This is due to burning sensation on chest or an area between her breasts from her throat to chest, hence no sleep.
There is one more symptom that i would like to bring to your notice that she pains in the knee, almost limps in pain, cannot squat properly during stools. This is again linked to pain in the shin or an area between her legs.
Yes she has backache also. There is there inflammation at the point of exit or after urination.
I hope these symptoms will suffice. If any, please write to me, I shall ask her and revert back. if necessary i will even type the
obstetric scan report also.
homoeopathic medicines tried so far: BELLADONA (PROVIDED SOME RELIEF WHEN THERE WAS WRITHING AND UNCONTROLLABLE PAIN ONE NIGHT).
Early in the morning she takes 5 PHOS tonic, a biochemic mixture of all Phos and Alfalfa.
I do not if HELONIAS dioica Q would provide releif to her.

Hi Ganesh, I suggest that your wife use CANTHARIS in a high potency. Only one dose, and only if necessary, another dose in 3 days. The last couple of times I used this it took only one dose.
Please keep us posted.

Thank you for all the responses.
Sadly, I have UTI again. Unfortunately I have only been able to find Cantharis in 12C potency. While I am ordering 30C online, I want to start taking the 12C asap. What dosage should I take of Cantharis 12C. I have it in pellets (Boiron brand). Thanks.

You may take three doses of Cantharis 12c at a gap of 4 hours for 4 days and see how that affects.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pellet form 4 pellets.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
