If your urinary issues never seem to resolve, it could be for a number of reasons. You may have an underlying simmering infection that is never eradicated,, Treatment for a UTI is usually based on the results of a urine culture, a very old and biased diagnostic.
Biased in the sense that all women have to show a certain level of infection to be treated. The magic number of 10,000 CFU's or germ families. Thirty percent of the time it is wrong.

BIOFILMS
The microbes being treated today are smarter and more difficult to eradicate. In fact, they have earned the name SUBPEBUGS to denote the difficulty of curing infections caused by them.

THE FORGOTTEN CURE
After the second world war, eastern Europe was poor and antibiotics expensive and hard to acquire.
So , the Georgians, NO, Georgia, USA, but the Republic of Georgia, a small country in Russia, and some very smart scientists found a way to create an enemy of the bacteria.
They found viruses, or phages as they are properly called, in waste water and rivers that matched a particular bacteria.
When exposed to the virus, the bacteria would be destroyed. When one drinks a phage, it searches out that bacteria throughout the body and eliminates it.
