ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO CLEAR UP KIDNEY OR BLADDER INFECTIONS: Do not drink any other liquids except water during this treatment.

Get or make plenty of cranberry juice. Drink it the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Drink it as often as possible during the day, along with plenty of water in between the cranberry juice. If the infection is not too bad, it should be cleared by next morning. In more severe cases, it may take several days.

If you are prone to infections of the kidney or bladder, it would do you good to make a habit of drinking cranberry juice at least once a day. This really is one of the best habits to have. Cranberries are a good remedy to use for many different illnesses. They do contain a substance that dilates the bronchial tubes and are used by asthmatics. They are good for removing toxins from the blood and are very effective in treating liver problems. They also contain diuretic properties and are an excellent way to treat most kidney problems.

CUCUMBER HELP FOR KIDNEY PROBLEMS: Cucumbers are among the best of treatments for kidney or bladder problems. Drinking cucumber juice alone or added to other vegetable juices is an excellent way to treat and correct kidney problems.

Cucumbers are also used to correct high or low blood pressure because of their high potassium content.

Do not strain, but allow to cool before drinking. Drink several glasses a day, as needed, for treatment and for the pain. This is a really a good way to treat any problems dealing with the prostate. I know many men who use this tea at least once a week.

During some illnesses we have to contend with diarrhea. Here are some recipes to help with that problem.

DIARRHEA CONTROL: When blackberries are in season, pick plenty so you can put up plenty of good juice. When you can the berries, cold pack them so the juice is extracted. Then you have the use of the berries after draining off the juice.

Blackberry juice is very good for treating diarrhea in children. Give a glassful every couple of hours as needed. You will probably want to sweeten the juice a little. My kids always loved this and we would drink it just for the heck of it, even when not needed.

I really miss having the kids pick berries with me, because this was one of our best times together. We always had a lot of fun. Some of the kids come over to go picking now—and I really enjoy that—but it seems that small children can make any situation more fun. Even bugs can create a fascinating conversation. Kids come up with the funniest notions about life. You learn a lot just by listening to them.
