Burning with urination, frequent micturation, and having to get up at night to urinate are indications of a possible bladder or kidney infection. A fresh, clean specimen should be checked by microscopic examination. Before seeing the physician, use ascorbic acid, 1000 mg. Every hour 4-6 hours and drink acidic juices, such as cranberry juice, 1 quart every 4-6 hours with 1-1 ½ gallons total liquids in 24 hours to promote flushing out of the system. Be certain to attempt enough fluid intake to maintain a completely clear urine. Long-standing untreated urinary tract infections are a leading cause of high blood pressure and if unresolved, may indicate underlying kidney disease.
