How the Biotherapy Alternative Medicine Clinic can help women with

Chronic Urinal Tract Infection (UTI) or Bladder Infection (Cystitis)

If you have found this website, you may be a woman suffering from recurrent urinal tract infection (UTI) who is looking for an alternative treatment for this stubborn condition. You’re sick and tired of frequent, painful, and urgent urination. You’re equally tired of the endless rounds of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. These antibiotics may temporarily relieve the UTI, but can frequently leave you with a yeast infection. While antibiotics may be needed to treat an acute urinary tract infection, they do not represent a long-term solution for most people with recurrent UTI.

A person with recurrent UTIs would have had more than three UTIs in their lifetime. As you know, when left untreated UTIs can lead to kidney infection. Each kidney infection increases the possibility of future kidney deficiency.

Women suffer more urinary tract infections than men, simply because bacteria can reach the bladder more easily in women. The urethra is shorter in women than men, so the bacteria have a shorter distance to travel. However, women should not be too envious of the men. Bacteria reach and infect men’s prostates before it travels all the way to their bladder. An infected prostate, or prostatitis, is a very difficult problem to treat.

It is necessary to break the vicious circle of UTI → antibiotics → Candida-yeast overgrow → low immunity → UTI and so on. The problem with antibiotics is that they kill all the beneficial bacteria in your body along with the bad. In many cases, the bad bacteria and Candida-yeast become immune to antibiotics, which lessen their effectiveness

The Biotherapy Clinic doesn’t only focus on killing the bad bugs that cause the chronic urinal tract infection.  We also focus on your overall health to increase your natural immunity and resistance to these bugs. The fact that bacteria has gotten into your urinary tract is not the entire issue. Bacteria have also attached themselves to the urinal tract walls causing inflammation.  We will help you to flush the bad microorganisms from your urinary tract.

At the Biotherapy Alternative Medicine Clinic we offer a special healing program for chronic urinal tract infection which may consist of a combination of Herbal Medicine, Nutritional Supplementation, Whole Body Cleansing with Restoration of Friendly Intestinal Flora, Acupuncture, Healing Food Consultation, special healing exercises, self-massage, advice on lifestyle changes and more. During the first free consultation we customize the best healing approach for the needs of each individual patient.

The rising threat of antibiotic resistance has led researchers to investigate other, non-drug approaches for reducing the frequency and duration of urinary tract infections. One researcher, Terje Alraek, of the University of Bergen in Norway, conducted a study using acupuncture to treat the condition in women. The results, published in the October 2002 issue of the American Journal of Public Health, found that the therapy was highly successful, and reduced the infection rate by more than 50% in the six months following treatment. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in both treating urinary tract infections, as well as preventing new infections in chronic cases. Acupuncture appears to reduce the total amount of residual urine in the bladder.

The Biotherapy Clinic has extensively used acupuncture for UTI and bladder infection with very positive results. Acupuncture works in different kinds of way

• Acupuncture improves the movement of Qi, thus stimulating microcirculation in the kidney, bladder, and pelvic areas. That means that more blood, more oxygen, and more nutrients come to these areas, which improves the self-healing process.

• Acupuncture decreases the annoying pain, spasms, urgency, and the painful, burning feeling.

• Acupuncture enhances the immune system to combat infection.

• Acupuncture normalizes sleep, mood, and energy.

Diet is undoubtedly is the best, safest, and cheapest alternative treatment for UTI and/or bladder infection. At the Biotherapy Clinic we customize a specific healing diet to help you become healthy and stay healthy. This diet helps to normalize the functioning of the kidneys and bladder.  It also help to restore the healthy intestinal flora – your best friend for fighting UTI. Our customized diet plan for healing UTI and/or bladder infections was developed in European naturopathic clinics and utilizes the "healing power of the food". There is no effective healing process for any disorder without a special diet and the proper combinations of foods.

If you have the symptoms of a urinary tract infection, most drugstores offer a home testing kit to help determine if you have UTI.

The good news is that natural alternative therapies can eliminate the symptoms of UTI by addressing the root cause. To begin treatment for urinal tract infection at the Biotherapy Alternative Medicine Clinic of San Francisco Bay Area, please select one of the following options:
