cranberry is really good for many ailments. women who suffer with UTI (urinary tract infection), They should take it. being acidic in nature it helps clearing the tract from bacteria. It is slimy and coated as thin surface in the tract which makes it difficult for bacteria to colonize on luminal surface.

Your right on! I've also had several nasal reconstruction attempts, and many sinus surgeries. Modern Medicine failed to be able to get rid of infection problems, and I had been from clinic to clinic, or the best known.

Cranberry !00% natural Cranberry Juice got rid of the problem. Within 3 days drinking about a glass or so a day did it. When signs indicate it is coming back I drink some more, and it is gone shortly.
