I know this is off topic, and I'm sorry for that, but I don't know where to look for an answer.
I won't go into the details since it's personal, but the short and private version is, a family member of mine has a medical condition where she has recurring UTI's. There is a solution, but it involves surgery, and she doesn't want to have surgery right now with everything else going on. Mainly out of fear that the hospital will do something shady to her (like jab her against her will while she's under), assuming they would even let her have surgery without being jabbed in the first place.
Obviously I and the rest of our family have tried finding a solution for the medium term, but so far nothing seems to work for more than a week or two at most. And any "non mainstream" methods are undoubtedly being censored like HCQ and Ivermectin. So here I am, doing something I hate and asking for help and advice on a private matter from the only people I know that may have an actual answer.
So any advice? I've seen a few people mention that certain doses of Ivermectin may help, but I can't get anything concrete on that. Literally any help would be greatly appreciated since we're at our wits end.
EDIT: We know the exact cause of it, and we know why it keeps recurring. The problem is that the only permanent/long term treatment in this specific case involves surgery. Hence, we're looking for a medium term solution to treat symptoms and keep it from recurring until all this crazy medical cabal crap is over with.
Like others have said here, cranberry juice every day should help. I think most UTI's are due to moisture issues. Bacteria will not grow in a clean / dry environment.
Women develop issues with urine incontinence after having children. The bladder gets pushed around, gets detached from its original position. Some women go in for bladder stapling to resolve this issue.
This is why you see women cross their legs when they sneeze or cough, trying to prevent peeing themselves. I work with a bunch of nurses, I see it often, I just snicker to myself.
Women who refuse surgery and just live with the urine drip, often wear pads to catch the urine. This can create a wet environment for bacteria to grow. That area needs to stay dry and clean, open it up to the wind.
Taking supplements that build your immune system also is advisable. Honey, vitamin C, elderberry, camu camu, certain mushrooms, ect. You can find all of these in powder form and add it to a smoothie each day
If your friend has type 2 diabetes, excess sugar is being excreted in her urine. This sugar can increase the chances of UTI's as well, it is food for the bacteria. Have her look at her urine in the toilet bowl after she urinates. If it is cloudy its usually a sign of excess sugar being removed through the kidneys. Your urine should be yellow and crystal clear. Losing some weight and taking apple cider vinegar every day can reverse type 2 diabetes.
I use Bragg's apple cider, couple tablespoon's per day. It must be diluted; it will burn if you drink it straight. I mix it in a warm glass of water with some lemon juice (1/2 lemon), some honey and a teaspoon of red pepper powder. It warms you up real good. The pepper powder helps control your cholesterol and over time help reduce arterial plaque reducing chances of heart attack.
Anyway, good luck, hope your friend gets well soon.
