			<description><![CDATA[I don't know about cranberry pills, but they've shown cranberry juice doesn't actually help bladder infections much.  The Azo standard pills won't get rid of the infection, only make it less painful.  Hearing what you have to say about back pain I'm wondering if you have a kidney infection.  That's ...]]></description>
