What is pH balance in relation to Vitamin C?
According to medical experts, if a body takes in more than the required daily dosage of vitamin C , his body composition will naturally be rendered acidic. The pH balance will come into focus, because it is the proportion of the body's acid content in relation to alkaline content.
Accordingly, if a body is said to have more acid content and less alkaline, then the pH balance is low. Conversely, if there is less acid content in proportion to the alkaline, then there is a high pH balance.
Another way of putting it is to base the body's content with the alkaline level. The more alkaline level, the higher the pH balance hence the latter will lower if there is less alkaline in the body. The measure 7.0 in pH is said to be a stand-off between between acid and alkaline which renders the body well balanced.
What will make the UTI Home treatment more effective, low pH or high pH balance?
Vitamin C is said to create an acidic environment in the bladder, thus making it difficult for microorganisms like E coli to flourish and survive. In addition, a good bacteria which lives inside our body known as lactobacilli thrives in our bladder and urinary tract.
It exists in that area for the main purpose of fighting invasive bacteria that attacks our urinary system. In order to perform its function well, this lactobacilli strain has to live in an acidic environment in the bladder and urinary tract.
A low pH balance will keep the good bacteria strong and active in combating the germs that invade our urinary organs. If an infection occurs, it means the lactobacilli is being overrun by the E coli and others. Taking in additional acids in the form of vitamin C will strengthen the good bacteria and weaken the bad bacteria.

What is Better low pH or high pH balance?
It is actually not a matter of having one higher than the other but a matter of maintaining balance between acid and alkaline. One example of alkaline deficiency is excessive hair loss. The ideal level of pH balance is at 7.0 hence, if in the examination of our body system, our pH measures lower than 7.0, then we are acidic and we need to increase our intake of alkaline rich foods.
If the pH is more than 7.0, then we have a high pH, which tends to make us susceptible to urinary tract infection. The lactobacilli existing in our urinary system weakens and can be overwhelmed by the invading bad bacteria.
It is suggested that we eat mostly alkaline based food then take on vitamin C supplements or vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C. The quality of water should also be considered, since some water have been tested to be acidic.
In taking vitamin C as your UTI home remedy, check with your doctor what alkaline rich foods will best complement your body, while fighting against your urinary tract infection.

I have a urinary tract infection and I have had it for a lil over a week. I saw a doctor and I took the antibiotics and drank lots of water and cranberry juice. It still hasn't gone away. I have tried drinking tons of water, drinking cranberry juice, and antibiotics. What else can I do to cure it?

if you drink cranberry juice make sure that you are drinking 100% because if its not then it won't work or if you don't like it cuz it kinda bitter just mix it with a little water.

You need to return to your physician for another UA and possibly another course of antibiotics. Sometimes it takes two courses of an antibiotic, or a course of a stronger, different antibiotic, to clear up a UA.
Cranberry juice is used to prevent UTIs, not treat them. It supposedly prevents bacteria from "sticking" to the bladder and other parts of the urinary system. It does not "wash out" bacteria and it doesn't kill bacteria. (It is a good healthy drink, though; I drink cranberry/pomegranate juice to help prevent UTIs.)
