JK, Since you are knowledgable on such things apparently, would you go to the Dr. if herbs didn't seem to be working for a definite bladder infection? I let myself dehydrate. It is hot here plus I have night sweats, sometimes, and hot flashes. My kidneys and lower back hurt and it isn't normal back pain. I have a low grade fever. I've had a kidney infection before. Actually the only thing that got rid of it was a kidney cleanse and I've only started taking NSP herbs since last night. Maybe I'm expecting too much too soon. My bladder still aches off and on, though, and have the frequency.... I tried to post this before but got no response ( a few days ago). Any input would be appreciated. I worry it could be going into my kidneys from how I feel..
