Well, for starters, you're not peeing out cranberry juice. Also, it appears to be somewhat of a preventative measure. Once you've got the UTI, however, it does approximately bubkes. It may alleviate the discomfort, which is probably why you think it was cured, but this is like people stopping their antibiotics and just phenazopyridine, which turns your pee orange and makes it stop hurting but doesn't fight the infection. Odds are you've done a small amount of damage to your urinary tract by not taking antibiotics.
