Supplies You’ll Need

Posted in Cleansing, Immediate UTI Treatment, Infection Killing Protocol, Spending Wisely, and Supplements

I’m putting this in a pinned blog post, since I realized that it isn’t very noticeable as a page when you’re on a mobile device.

Olive Leaf Extract: My favorite is Vitacost, because it’s the best quality and price. Here’s the Vitacost link. This Swanson Super Strength is the best one sold on Amazon, next to Vitacost, which is more expensive there than on the Vitacost site.

Raw garlic: (Any grocery store produce section: buy the heads, not the stuff in the jars)

Fresh baking soda from the store: The stuff you have lying around the house is almost guaranteed to taste horrid, because it absorbs odors.

Lemon juice: You’re going to want a big bottle, or lots of lemons and a juicer.

Cayenne pepper: (Any grocery store spice aisle: the capsules are unnecessary. Mix the loose powder into a spoonful of honey, instead. If you take this and feel increased irritation, discontinue use; it’s not helpful against the type of bacteria you have.)

Oil of oregano: I used the Vitacost liquid and filled empty capsules with it, but they’re out of that, as of this writing (4/5/17). I should think that the stuff in the capsules would work, too. Use for E. coli infections AFTER a cleanse, alongside OLE. It’s much more effective in the bladder once you’ve gotten any intestinal Candida out of the way. Here’s a reputable brand, on Amazon.

Vitamin C: I’ve had recent experience with this absolutely slaughtering a staph infection deep in my skin: if you have a staph UTI, go for it. Any standard ascorbic acid from the grocery store is fine: look for 1000 mg capsules like these. Or this powder that dissolves in water.

Activated charcoal: ⇐ Click for the good stuff. You can get these in capsules from a local store, but in the quantities you’ll want to take to cleanse your gut and prevent future UTI’s, the loose powder form is far more cost-effective. It’s completely odorless and tasteless: all you have to do is stir it into a glass of water and chug it. You can also make poultices from it for skin infections, wounds, and for a sore urethra. If you’re determined to buy the capsules, these are the best ones: they’re 500 mg, when the store ones are generally 260 mg.

Coconut oil: This is what you want to use as a base for vaginal treatments for current infections, and for preventive maintenance.

Cinnamon/Ginger: (You can grate a fresh ginger root from the store, or get a jar of powdered ginger or cinnamon in the spice aisle. Warning: About 2% of UTI’s are caused by a strain of E. coli that responds very negatively to ginger and turmeric. If you take either and feel increased bladder pressure, discontinue immediately. That strain also responds badly to cayenne pepper.)

UTI tests: These are so much cheaper online than in the store, it’s ridiculous. Get the 10 parameter ones so you can monitor All The Things.

Here’s the link for 8 parameter strips for those of you in the U.K. 

HCL is imperative if you have low stomach acid, which you probably do. Nothing you take will work like it should if your stomach isn’t making enough acid. HCL is replacement acid that will vastly improve your digestion and absorption.

Probiotics: Ladies, I tried this kind right here, and I’m IN LOVE. I talk about what it has in it in this post, and I wasn’t kidding. It’s awesome sauce, with a side of fanfreakin’tastic. It went Search and Destroy on bad guys in my hoohah that a coconut bullet didn’t reach, because those two Lacto strains go all Delta Force strike team up in there. Place it high at bedtime, because you want them staying in your lady cave and not going spelunking in your urethra.

For gut repair after repeated antibiotics: L-glutamine to regenerate your gut lining, and pair this probiotic with Femdophilus.
Also, licorice helps your stomach lining, your acid production, and your adrenals, all of which benefits your gut.
Digestive enzymes would also be a good idea until you’ve re-established a healthy probiotic population in your regenerated gut lining.

    Wondering if there’s a good link for reading urine test strips for UTIs.

    Hi,

    I need help with where I should start! LOL. I suffer from reocurring UTI, and I’m 99.99% sure it is always the same strand, E. Coli. I was first diagnosed last year in October, given antibiotics and 5 months later, it came back. This seems to be the case each time. I’ve never had pain with the UTI just really foul smelling pee which is diluted after drinking lots of water (a gallon a day), but first thing in the morning it smells again. Its been 5 months since the last antibiotics, and I am now pregnant (6 weeks, first pregnancy). As mentioned, I’ve never had pain with a UTI, however I have stomach cramping now. My doc says its normal, as my uterus is expanding however, some part of me thinks its in part because of this UTI as symptoms appeared around the same time. If you could please let me know where to start, there’s such a great wealth of information that I want to try it all! LOL. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer.

      OLE is perfectly safe during pregnancy, as are cayenne, raw garlic, and activated charcoal, being careful, of course, to time the charcoal properly.
      Horseradish, pau d’arco, and oregano oil should be avoided.

        Hi Rebekah,
        I’ve been doing the Hippocrates special for the last 2 days after doing a quick and dirty charcoal cleanse. I initially tested positive for leukocytes and nitrates. Which leads me to believe I have Ecoli gram negative infection. After 1 day ( so day 2) of Doing Hippocrates special plus the OLE, OO, and HR, I tested negative for nitrates but positive for leukocytes with blood and protein in urine too. This morning I tested again and tested positives for nitrates, and slight luekocytes, but now no blood and still positive for protein but not as much as the day before. Am I getting better? Or should I go to doctors to get antibiotics. I’m going on vacation next week and don’t want to be struggling with the infection. I’m concerned that I’m just not doing something right or that my infection is just to much for natural meds abs may need to take both. Please help. Also could you add me to the FB group? Thank you so much for all of your amazing information and all of your dedication to this community. Many blessings to you, sister.
