For uti‘ s i started a crazy bladder flushing routine, most people will call mental, but it’s actually been working! I found it on a SCI forum. It’s a product called MicrocynAH... crazy part is that it’s a veterinarian product for animal hotspots and skin conditions. lol Sounds crazy, but I was desperate enough try it and I haven’t been on wretched antibiotics in over a year. It’s also widely used for cleaning infected ulcers.
I also try to eat healthier. Had to cut out the booze because it started making me feel so awful. But I still use medicinal herbs now and then.

(I use Cure Medical CS-14 closed system intermittent cath kits. After I drain doing the first cath, I just cut the collection bag off the cath tube, and instill 30cc with a syringe via the cut off end of the tube. I pull the cath out with the syringe still on it to keep from losing what I just put in, and then wait until the next time I cath.... )
Never had a UTI while I was using it. I've stopped a few times, and each time, within a few months I've ended up in the hospital w/ a NASTY UTI... I'm not planning to stop again....
I get my stuff from https://store.ryanspet.com/ Ryan's Pet Supply - IIRC last batch was US$15 / bottle, for the 16oz / 500ml size - they have a price break and give free shipping if you over more than a certain amount - I usually get about 4 cases (24 bottles) at a time, which is about a year's worth.
Important note, is that you need to get it during reasonable weather season, as it is destroyed by freezing.
If one wants to believe the Microcyn people, they claim that they have a patented manufacturing process, which they USED to license to the Vetericyn people, so the products were the same. However a few years back Microcyn ended the license agreement, so the Vetericyn makers had to come up with a different process, with the result that the products are now different. Microcyn claims that their product is stable over its listed shelf life if stored properly, but that Vetericyn is not, so that they make it 'over-strength' initially and it then breaks down over time to be under-strength by the end of it's listed life....
Never had a pressure sore to use it on, but I have found it seems to speed healing of assorted other scrapes and cuts....

And after death you will be exactly in the same state that you were before you were born, no imaginary hell or heaven or purgatory (for you Catholics).
Different religions with segregated heavens are necessary or everyone's soul would suffocate. If all the people who ever lived went to the same heaven it would be full to bursting by now. Simple physics.

You still need to watch the videos and learn the history of religion:

Or if you can't bring yourself to watch a 20 minute video, then watch a 10 minute version:
