i was wondering if there was anyway to treat a bladder infection minus the antibiodicts. (without going to the doctor and getting a perscrption) thanks.

i don't know your situation, if you can't afford a doctor, or maybe have a fear of them. or perhaps you are a stubborn person that would only visit a doctor if your arm fell off, and even then you'd try long and hard for an hour to attach it by yourself... I know a lot of those kinds of people...
otherwise, 'infection' might be something else... perhaps a UTI test would determine that, also if you go for a long time untreated, and you have gotten worse, instead of better on the cranberry juice diet. then you stand the chance of having kidney failure, and it will cost a heck of a lot more to survive that rather then going to a doctor and getting a bottle of anti-biotics. whatever you choose good luck to ya! :) [ audra's advice column | Ask audra A Question ]
Annerszz_101 answered Sunday February 4 2007, 9:22 pm: While antibiotics prescribed by a physician are the only way to cure a bladder infection, there are some things you can do to self-treat the symptoms and to help prevent future bladder infections.
An all-time favorite way to treat and prevent blader infections at at home is to drink cranberry juice. Cranberry juice often helps to reduce frequency of bladder infections. Cranberry herbal supplements are available over-the-counter and many women find they work amazingly quickly when an UTI has occurred. [ Annerszz_101's advice column | Ask Annerszz_101 A Question ]
