How to heal a bladder infection if you were stranded on a deserted island? Anyone ever thought of it? My boyfriend (actually common law husband?) is just getting over a serious bladder infection that almost killed him. He had fever, chills and vomiting for a couple of days before he finally got DEATHLY sick and ended up in the hospital with sepsis. The wonders of modern science. It got me thinking if we were both stranded on a deserted island and this happened, how would I get him over it? Would I be able to get him over it or would he just die? Maybe this is something that should be taught in a survival class because it COULD happen!

I know it is primarily allergies that are causing the problems, however I am not big on taking meds if there is a more natural cure. Any suggestions are welcomed! I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar not to long ago and it did help but the infection came back not long after!
