My Personal Experience with Using Asparagus to Cure Bladder Infection

With doctors today pushing drugs on every patient, and never giving them an option for alternative treatment (except mentioning basics like drink more water, keep yourself clean, pee before and after sex, and even the old cranberry thing that doesn't even work for most people), we the people need to be more informed about the natural things available to us. For bladder infection, asparagus is a wonderful key to the puzzle:

What is it? Asparagus, according to www.Wikipedia.org is "a herbaceous, perennial plant -- with stout stems with much-branched feathery foliage." But what's more is that not only is it a tasty addition to dinner tonight, but it can also play a major role in helping you prevent and even cure bladder infection.

Where can you buy it? In this article, the asparagus referred to is generally the canned variety - which I used, and actually prefer to eat. But you can use fresh as well. Canned asparagus is sold at most grocery stores, and fresh can also be found at certain times of the year in the produce section. You don't have to specifically buy organic, but it's your choice.

What makes it work? The answer is not very clear-cut, but from my own experience, I can definitely say it has worked for me '" especially if I use it early enough, at the very first signs of symptoms. I am very in-tune with my body, however. But if your bladder infection has progressed, it can still work. Many people claim it is the high sulfur content of asparagus, which would make sense because doctors often prescribe an antibiotic in the class of "sulfas" which in essence is sulfur.

How do you use it? At the first sign of an attack, pop open an entire can of asparagus (or entire bushel) and warm it up '" and keep the water in the can, or the water you cook it in. Down the asparagus, and all the water as well. You can do this several times a day if you wish. You are, of course, going to be doing a lot of urinating throughout the day and over time, you will begin to notice the pain of your infection subside.

Any concerns? Many people notice a very strong, quite gross, smell to their urine when they eat asparagus. Don't worry, it's natural! In fact, it's a very good sign that things are working properly.

Why use it? For many people, like me, continually going back to the doctor for antibiotic treatment is just not an option anymore, especially if you experience recurrent infections. Not only does continual use of antibiotics build resistance, but it creates more problems inside your body. You need to look for an alternative, healthier way, of curing yourself. And asparagus may just be the answer!
