Try cranberry supplements, thought I don't know how effective they are after a UTI has set in.
If you're going in to get your urine tested (and you really should) the cran tablets should wait til after, because they can futch with the results. I think they even hastened the work of the anti-biotics. But yes, you can make them a regular item of health maintenance. I love them.
Golden seal is good to have because it's also a good cold/allergy remedy. Unless you have either diabetes or high blood pressure, and I'm sorry I can't remember which.
Make sure you get the root and take it with a lot of water.

Yes, I take mine every day. They are cheap at Trader Joes.

Actually, erika, would you recommend taking it for specific ailments or is it something that could be used as a preventative type of thing?
I've used it to prevent my drug screen from turning positive.
I've had UTIs so often, sinc eI was a kid, it used to be really painful when I peed, but not anymore. I get UTIs but my symptoms have changed and once I waited so long I started running a fever and had the shakes.
I don't drink enough water, but I try to. And I can't take cranberry supplements because they caise stomach issues.

Man, I feel like I'm missing it all! Which, duh, live on the opposite coast. Still, I wish I could be there. Am I gonna see you guys in November?

Probably not. No $$ to go. We really really really want to, though.
I use it when I'm sick. Mom says it's a natural anti-b, and I cannot contac my colds, or take Sudafed, or anything. They make me sick, so it's one of my only anti-histamine choices.
I'm not sure about preventative use...probably people at the health food store will tell you more than you EVER wanted to know.

Yeah, thus, my asking the invisible friends first!
It looks slightly too DB focused for my rusty self, drat it. Time to brush up the skills as well as the resume. (I've spent the last year looking at nothing but XML. It's been less than exciting.) But thanks.
Knowing now that you're XML-heavy, I'll make sure that the next time anything web-wise in this school opens up you get an interview.
We don't do DB connections anymore for the web, only XMLHTTPRequest, and I keep dealing with people who don't know what to do with raw XML.
