Controlled trials and studies are often limited in complementary and alternative medicine and involve small numbers of participants. They are often conducted under less rigorous controls, guidelines and environments than those undertaken for the development of new pharmaceutical medications such as antibiotics. Do your research, there should be clear, peer reviewed, empiric evidence as to the efficacy of complementary, unlicensed therapies such as phages rather than theorisation about how they may be beneficial in the treatment of acute, recurrent or persistent UTI. Phage therapy is as yet, an expensive unproven therapeutic option.
