After having two bladder infections backflush and cause testicular infections (yes, it was as bad as it sounds) my husband has found that taking cranberry extract tablets daily seems to keep it from happening to him again. Of course YMMV, but I don't think it would hurt and might help.

Ouch. I know I'm supposed to drink cranberry juice regularly, but that stuff is so nasty. I'll have to look into the tablets. Thanks for the advice.

I have to say, being here at Haskell for these three semesters have brought a lot of awareness to me about the poverty level on the reservations throughtout the united states and canada. However, even though native american reservations are so low in poverty that some of them equal the same as a third world country, the united states is doing nothing to help the people out. Due to the fact that this is america and that america being so pompus like, they will not do anything to help their people out, but other countries, even during this debt they have with other countries and themselves

Yes it is. And yes, I did know Columbus never set foot on the actual American continent. I just forgot to mention that...

I honestly think our country needs to stop helping out other countries and help its own citizens (especially people living on reservations and the elderly who have to choose between the mortgage payment or the healthcare bill).

Yeah, the paper upset me.
