This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP Curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Natural Medicine.

Here's a video that has a few ideas which may or may not be applicable to your friend's issue:


Minimum requirements:
  - Help your friend with their Urinary tract infection problem
  - Refer to them by a number or pseudonym that you will continue to use for that friend throughout the Natural Medicine badge

To document completion of the BB, provide the following:
  - Your friend's pseudonym
  - Describe the issue your friend is struggling with
      - Symptoms
      - Duration
      - Severity
      - Medical diagnosis (if any)
 - Your suggestions for relief (including, but not limited to)
     - Behavioral
     - Food as medicine
     - Concoctions
 - Description of success (including, but not limited to)
     - What your friend actually did
     - How well it worked
     - How long it took to see results
 - Picture of you with your friend on the first meeting
 - Picture of you with your friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting

Approved submission
Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Straw - Quinn List - Help with a UTI BB.

M06 (pseudonym) routinely suffers with Urinary Tract Infections - several each year - often leading to a visit to the doctor and another round of antibiotics.  She does not recognize the cognitive difficulty as her early symptom and does not experience the burning sensation until the infection has a strong foothold.   Based on this information, on February 10, I reccommended cranberries (1/4 cup), Burdock root decoction (brewed fresh), Uva Ursi tincture (1/2 dropper per day) and Uva Ursi infusion 2Tbsp per 12+oz water.  She started adding the burdock root decoction to a fresh brewed cup of Uva Ursi during our initial conversation.  Her symptoms worsened and went to her doctor and was diagnosed with another UTI and filled the prescription for antibiotics.  She continued the tea/decoction and cranberries and reported that the UTI cleared much more quickly than it usually did (within three days instead of 8 or more).  

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following photos to supplement the above information:
 - Picture of you with your friend on the first meeting
 - Picture of you with your friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting

Note: I hereby certify that this badge bit is complete! And cranberries really do amazing things!  I keep a bottle of D Mannose (extracted from cranberries) for UTIs, and it works wonders!

 
You had your fun. Now it's time to go to jail. Thanks for your help tiny ad.
