What is a Urinary Tract Infection?

Infections of the Urinary Tract are extremely common, accounting for more than 8 million doctor's visits a year. Approximately 8 - 10 million people in the USA develop a UTI each year.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) usually occurs when bacteria enter the opening of the urethra and multiply in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the two kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder itself, and urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder to the urethral opening).

The special connection of the ureters at the bladder help prevent urine from backing up into the kidneys, and the flow of urine through the urethra helps to eliminate bacteria. Men, women, and children can develop UTIs.

Urinary tract infections usually develop first in the lower urinary tract (urethra, bladder) and, if not treated, progress to the upper urinary tract (ureters, kidneys). Bladder infection (Cystitis) is by far the most common UTI. Infection of the urethra is called Urethritis.

Bacteria may enter the urethra due to poor hygiene, during sexual intercourse or due to the use of a catheter. The urinary system is especially designed to guard against infection. Normally urine is sterile and the flow of urine from the bladder usually helps to wash bacteria out of the body. A healthy immune system also plays a vital role in the prevention of all infections, including UTI's.

Some people, e.g. diabetics are more prone to developing a UTI. This is usually because of a compromised immune system.

Women develop the condition much more often than men, for reasons that are not fully known, although the much shorter female urethra is suspected. The condition is rare in boys and young men.

Twenty percent of women in the United States develop a UTI and 20% of those have a recurrence. Urinary tract infections in children are more common in those under the age of 2.

Infections in women

Women are more prone to UTI's, probably because they have shorter urethras which therefore pass bacteria into the urinary tract more easily.

Statistics show that one woman in five will develop a UTI during her lifetime. Some women are prone to recurring infections.

Women who have had more than three UTI's are likely to continue to develop recurrences within 18 months of a UTI. In severe cases this can be even more frequent. Continued use of antibiotics is thought to increase the frequency of recurring UTI's and to make them more resistant to treatment.

Infections in Men

Men are not as prone to UTI's as women, but infections are still common. The prostate gland in men produces secretions that retard the growth of bacteria and a healthy prostate is one of the best defenses against UTI's in men. (see Prostate Dr)

While men develop UTI's less frequently than women, their infections tend to be more severe. UTI's in men are often caused by an obstruction (e.g. a urinary stone) or an enlarged prostate.

Prostate infections are more difficult to cure via conventional means because many antibiotics do not easily penetrate infected prostate tissue.

What is the conventional treatment for a UTI?

Once a UTI has been diagnosed, most conventional doctors choose antibiotics as the preferred treatment. A course of antibiotics can quickly cure a UTI and kill the bacteria that cause it.

Although antibiotics certainly have their place, there are two main problems with antibiotic use for urinary tract infections:

1. Due to the frequency of antibiotic use for UTI's and other infections, bacteria are developing a resistance to the antibiotics, making them less and less effective. The 'smarter' the antibiotics become, the 'smarter' are the bacteria, which mutate to avoid the effects of the antibiotics.

2. Frequent use of antibiotics will also affect your immune system functioning. As we have seen above, a healthy immune system is important in the prevention of UTI's. This means that the antibiotics that are used to cure your UTI, may make another infection more likely in the near future.

How has UTI-Clear helped others?

"I have taken uti-clear, like the testimonials I read, I am shocked that this worked, ( actually I've been frightened to speak of it so that I don't jinx it or something, crazy huh) For the past few months I had an infection that just would not go away, I lost my job over it.  I had been to the urologist sooo many times and have taken soooo many useless and dangerous drugs.  So, in desperation I ordered uti-clear and as I have said, to me its a miracle.  Thanks so much. Now, I want to try some of the other remedies but do not dare hurt what the uti-clear is doing (I'm still on it) So, please let me know if its ok to take the weight problem  remedie and uti-clear. Thanks again " Debbe

"I am not the type of person to write a testimonial, but feel compelled to do so because of how UTI-Clear has changed the quality of my life. For about 7 years I have suffered with urinary tract infections and could not understand why I chronically had these while other women I know never did. I could not maintain a regular sex life because of this problem. Last year I was on antibiotics 8 times for urinary tract infections. The gynecologist who was prescribing these told me I must go to a urologist to begin considering surgery. I began to do research about why some women chronically have UTI's and others do not, when I came across your website. I immediately ordered the UTI-Clear. It has been about 7 months and I have not had one urinary tract infection since I began taking this product. Thank you, it has changed my life in every area." - Ann, NY

"UTI-Clear has worked very well to clear up this infection. I do have recurring infections and at one point, they caused my cervix to become inflamed, causing pap smears to come back abnormal. I'm glad to have found this product to help clear this up without antibiotics. Thank you." - Cynthia, FL,

"I don't know why I always get Urinary Tract and Bladder infections - but I do! It's always embarrassing to have to go to the doctor every time so I decided to give UTI-Clear a try. Now I know what to do when that horrible burning sensation starts up again! Just a few drops in water and I'm back to normal again - and no more embarrassing trips to the doctor for me!" - Ann, SA.

"Hi, I have recently started to use your UTI clear and have found it to be very good as I suffer with recurring cystitis, after a few days of taking the UTI-Clear the symptoms disappear, which is wonderful!" - Leanne, UK

"My recent purchase of Uti-Clear resulted in complete satisfaction. Not only did this product live up to the promises you advertise on your site, but it made me feel very confident in using herbal/homeopathic treatments in the future. I am very pleased with the results, and this is to show my appreciation for your quality products." - Lissette, U.S.A

"I suffered with recurring Urinary Tract Infection and the antibiotics provided by my doctor offer only temporary relief. I found UTI-Clear and ImmunityPlus on the web and my symptoms have now cleared to the extent that I no longer suffer the agony of this uncomfortable condition. I am grateful that the products are available (shipped) internationally as I have been unable to locate such a beneficial product in the UK." - Barbara, Lancashire, UK

"I have suffered for 6 years with chronic UTI, and have been on constant antibiotic therapy. As a last attempt at relief, I came across UTI-Clear. It began working in 2 days and I have been symptom free since I began using it 3 weeks ago. I finally feel relief, and would recommend this product to anyone who has suffered like I have." - Karen, CA, USA

What are the ingredients in UTI-Clear?

UTI-Clear is formulated in therapeutic dosage and contains medicinal extracts of the following selected herbs:

Agothosma betulina (buchu) is a urinary antiseptic and possesses diuretic properties. Buchu has been used by the natives of the Western Cape of Southern Africa for many centuries.

Is there anything else I can do to prevent a UTI?

Yes! Here are some things that you can do to take responsibility for the continued health of your urinary system.

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Remember that urine flushes out bacteria from the urinary tract and therefore prevents infection. Sufficient water every day is necessary for regular urination.

2. Some women are prone to develop a UTI after sexual intercourse. Cleansing the penis and the vagina both before and after making love will help to prevent infection. It will also helps for women to completely empty their bladders after sex, so that the urine can flush out any bacteria which may have entered the urethra during intercourse.

3. Avoid the use of scented vaginal sprays and douches. These products are more beneficial to their manufacturers than they are to female health! Always wear panties with a cotton gusset.

4. For recurring infections, it is recommended that both men and women take a regular course of ImmunityPlus - a natural remedy especially formulated to boost the immune system and protect against all types of infection, including UTI. (see our UTI-Clear/ImmunityPlus Combo Special Offer)

5. It is also highly recommended that all men over the age of 50, use Prostate DR - a formula that promotes prostate health and helps to relieve and protect against the symptoms of BPH and prostatitis. BPH (Benign Prostate Hypertrophy) is a condition which causes swelling and enlargement of the prostate gland, which in turn can increase the likelihood of men developing a UTI.
