Is Treatment For UTI With Gatorade Dangerous?

For a UTI, I have used as a home remedy Gatorade. I drink one small bottle about 3 times a day and it 'cures' it. As in no symptoms whatsoever or greatly reduced symptoms at the end of the first day. In order to make sure the UTI is gone, in addition to drinking lots of water and not consuming any alcohol or cafeine, I reduce the Gatorade to 1 small bottle a day and take 3000mg of Vitamin C a day for the next 10 days. Works every time. Is there any danger in this home treatment. Sure beats antibiotics and the doctor bill. Barbara- age 57, 5'5", 115lbs.

But I will recommend that you regularly take plenty of liquids in various forms
green tea, coffee, butter milk, rice water, coconut water then you will not
need Gatorade frequently dear.
