Honey, Sugar, Salt all have been used on wounds but this can also go pretty damn wrong easily.&lt;p&gt;You however do not want to inject sugar or anything like that into the bladder.&lt;p&gt;P.S.&lt;p&gt;As a general rule of thumb you should probably avoid using &amp;quot;home remedies&amp;quot; from imadoctor.com sites.</text></comment>

One of the things they typically do is making the body more acid. So, if you can reverse the acidity, the biofilm starts breaking up and the infection becomes treatable again.</text></comment>
