3. 1. Cranberries (but not
juice!)
• Specific compounds in cranberries
inhibit the adherence of E.coli
bacteria to the uroepithelial cells.
• But, cranberry juice is loaded with
fructose, a simple sugar that can
potentially lead to health problems.
4. • The most beneficial component for
fighting a UTI in Cranberries has
been identified and isolated – And
that is “D-Mannose”.
5. • Instead of drinking the sugary
Cranberry juice you can get the
active ingredient, without the
damaging metabolic consequences.
6. • D-Mannose is not a drug. It’s a
naturally occurring sugar, closely
related to glucose and you even
produce it in your body.

2. Goldenseal/Oregon Grape
8. 2. Goldenseal/Oregon
Grape
• Goldenseal is a potent natural
antibiotic,
which like Cranberries contains
the active ingredient (berberine)
that prevents bacteria
from adhering to your cell walls.
9. • Important: Goldenseal, like its good
“friend” Echinacea, can not be
taken for more than 2 weeks.
• This means that Goldenseal is best
for acute UTIs, but not for
prevention, since you can’t take it
more than 2 weeks.
12. • Horseradish is such a powerful
natural antibiotic for bladder
infections, that the German
Commission E (The german
equivalent of the FDA) has approved
it as an adjunct natural treatment
to prescription drugs for UTIs.
13. • In Japan it’s called “wassabi” and if
you’re like me, you can’t imagine
sushi without it.
14. • The active ingredients in Horseradish
concentrate in the urine, and
therefore deliver antibiotic effects
to the bladder.
15. • These ingredients can also activate
specific enzymes that help to keep
toxins from accumulating in the
bladder.
