Bacterial Vaginosis Relief (4 page)

2 more days if you feel you need a little more for a total of 5 days.

Hydrogen peroxide is the most natural, most effective treatment that

provides immediate relief of the symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis.

STEP 2 – Take Vaginal Acidophilus

This is a variation on the traditional remedy of actually spooning yogurt

(that contains live yogurt cultures) into the vagina. Many women have

avoided doing this, as it seems so messy.

Thankfully a solution has been found for this in the form of vaginal

acidophilus inserts. These look a lot like the bullet shaped anti-fungal

medications that you are usually prescribed for these conditions.

The insertion of these medicines can help greatly soothe the pain and

irritation of the infection and help repopulate the vagina with the Bacterial

it needs to be healthy.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacterium present in both the vagina, and

gastrointestinal tract; it is important in controlling vaginal pH and

maintaining a healthy balance in the vaginal ecosystem.

28

Age, infections, antibiotic use, douching, and many other factors can

interfere with lactobacilli, upsetting the delicate balance and predisposing

women to overgrowth of yeast and "bad" Bacterial.

Lactobacilli are Bacterial normally lives in the human small intestine and

vagina. Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally considered to be beneficial

because it produces vitamin K, lactase, and anti-microbial substances such

as Acidolin, Acidolphilin, Lactocidin, and Bacteriocin. These all assist with

digestion and help boost the immune system. Also, as we learned earlier,

Lactobacillus Acidophilus produces hydrogen peroxide to keep bad, foul

smelling Bacterial in check.

There have been several studies showing that regular ingestion of

acidophilus decreases vaginal yeast and Bacterial infections.

Studies report few side effects from Lactobacillus acidophilus when used at

recommended doses. The most common complaint is abdominal

discomfort or gas, which usually resolves with continued use.

Although taking Probiotics orally can help with Bacterial Vaginosis, using

vagina inserts work very effectively because the Bacterial does not have to

pass your digestive system where they can be destroyed by stomach acid.

Acidophilus does have other health benefits. It helps prevent infection with

some intestinal bugs, and seems to slightly improve general immune

system function. This of course is of great use to people who have been

taking the antibiotics for years and finding their immune systems

compromised.

Using the Probiotics Inserts

Using the vaginal inserts is fairly easy. What’s most important is when you

do them. They must be used immediately after the hydrogen peroxide

douche.

29

Within the walls of the vagina is a thin layer of mucus that is used as a

home for Bacterial, both good and bad. When you have too many bad

Bacterial in the case of BV, the bad Bacterial take up all the usable space.

Before the good Bacterial can attach itself to the walls of your vagina, the

bad Bacterial must first be removed.

In step 1, this is what the hydrogen peroxide douche does. After you have

completed the douche, insert 1 tablet into your vagina. Leave it in there as

it will dissolve by itself.

You can insert them manually with your fingers. Many come as a kit

complete with a plunger style insertion device. If you have had lots of yeast

infections, then you will know what this implement looks like as antifungal

medications are also often applied this way as well.

Note: These tablets, which you can buy in health food stores, should be

kept in the refrigerator as they contain friendly Bacterial that can die if they

are exposed to heat.

Repeat this every day, right after your hydrogen peroxide douche.

Continue to use them even after you’ve completed the series of douches.

Continue until all the capsules in the package are done.

STEP 3 - Supplement with Folic Acid

Modern food has much less useable vitamins and minerals than our body

needs. This is due to many factors including genetically modified foods, the

use of chemical fertilizer, corporate farming methods and general

processing of foods.

Adding high quality sources of vitamins and minerals is crucial to overal

health; we’ll get to that later. For now, the one vitamin that directly affects

Bacterial Vaginosis is a deficiency of folic acid.

30

Folic acid is a form of a water-soluble B vitamin. Folate occurs naturally in

food and folic acid is the synthetic form of this vitamin. We don’t retain it

in our body so it is easily destroyed by medications.

Folic acid is well-tolerated in amounts found in fortified foods and

supplements.

Sources of folic acid in your diet include:

• Dark green, leafy vegetables

• Whole wheat bread

• Lightly cooked beans and peas

• Nuts and seeds

• Sprouts

• Oranges and grapefruits

Folic acid is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in vitamin

B complex formulations.

Folic acid is simply a supplemental form of the B vitamin folate. Folate acid

can help prevent and reverse BV as well as help strengthen the lining of the

uterus.

A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2002

found that taking as little as 100 mg of Folic Acid a day through the eating

of cereal was enough to significantly improve BV in women as well as

significantly reduce their risk of developing effects.

Start with 1600 mcg/day split up evenly in 4 doses. There are many good

brands that have 400mcg pills. Take 1600 mcg/day for the first week to fill

your body’s reserves. After the first week, reduce your dose so that you’re

taking 400 mcg twice a day.

31

If you’ve suffered with Bacterial Vaginosis for some time you may need to

take folic acid for quite some time.

Conclusion – Just Give It a Try

Chapter 4

The BV Free Lifestyle

Introduction

In the last chapter we discussed the cures for BV that will get you out of

immediate pain.

In this chapter, we are going discover not only how to ensure your BV

doesn’t return but also how to improve your overal health.

The Effect of Diet on your Body

The rewards of a nutritious diet are almost unbelievable. Not only will this

help your Bacterial Vaginosis, but it will also eliminate many other health

problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and the list

goes on and on. In fact, there isn’t a single disease that isn’t reversed or

eliminated by changing what you eat and drink.

If you’ve been living off of candy bars, chips and cookies, your energy and

moods with improve drastically. If you suffer from indigestion, gas,

bloating, and constipation, you’ll be happy to know that by following this

diet these problems will also be eliminated. In addition, you’ll catch fewer

colds, drop unwanted fat, hair will become stronger and healthier, and your

skin will clear up. In most cases, changing your diet is all that is needed to

restore balance.

33

Eliminate Refined Carbohydrates and sugar habit

Refined carbohydrates and sugar play an important role in maintaining the

delicate balance between good and bad Bacterial. You must do your best

to eliminate them. Refined carbohydrates such as white pasta, white

bread, white rice, baked goods, are loaded with calories but are void of

nutrition. They all cause your insulin to be chronically high. They also

suppress your immune system and lead to an overgrowth of bad Bacteria.

Sugar is especially bad.

Refined Carbohydrates are ones that have been processed to remove the

fiber and nutrients. You want to eat only unrefined foods such as whole

grain bread and fruits and vegetables.

Also, do not consume any food that has NutraSweet, Splenda, Aspartame,

Sucrolos, or Saccrin on the label. These artificial sweeteners are also

extremely toxic to your body.

If you need to use a sweetener, choose Stevia as your first option. This is

an all-natural herb which actually helps regulate blood sugar. You may also

use small amounts of other natural sugars such as raw organic agave

nectar, raw organic honey, or raw organic sugar cane. No refined white or

brown sugar. Remember, science is not better than nature. Natural

sweeteners are always better than artificial chemically made sweeteners.

To heal yourself of BV you also need to be mindful of the type of

carbohydrates that you eat.

Eliminate Dairy and Meat

Milk is loaded with dangerous substances that everyone should avoid,

especially women with BV. Dairy products are loaded with pesticides,

unnatural hormones including hormones injected by farmers to make the

cows grow faster, as well as hormones meant for the baby calves that are

34

supposed to be drinking it. DO NOT eat any dairy.

It’s best to avoid meat altogether. Today’s conventional meat is loaded

with hormones and antibiotics and artery clogging fat. If you absolutely

must have to eat meat, make sure it’s not more than 5% of your overal diet

and it’s organic. Organic farms don’t use hormones and antibiotics and

feed their animal’s food they would eat naturally.

Drink Plenty of Water

The human body is two-thirds water. Water is an essential nutrient that is

involved in every function of the body. It helps transport nutrients and

water products in and out of cells. It is necessary for all digestive

absorption, circulatory and excretory functions, as well as for the use of

water-soluble vitamins.

Water is also needed for proper body temperature. By drinking 1 litre of

water for every 50lbs you weight per day, you can sure that your body has

all that it needs to maintain good health and discourage infections like BV.

Avoid Processed Foods

If the words low-fat, non-fat, trans-free, is printed on the package, it must

be healthy right? Wrong! Processed foods in boxes and cans aren’t healthy,

and they never will be. Eating healthy is fairly simple; if it comes in a box,

bag or can, don’t eat it. Eliminate processed foods from your diet.

The Optimal Diet is the best way to develop a healthy human body that is

resistant to fungus and bacteria.

36

Changing your diet does not cost you anything. Nobody profits from it but

you!

Changing Your Internal Environment

We want to treat being susceptible to Bacterial and fungal problems just

like any other illness that is treated holistically. The goal is to treat the

whole person and not just a symptom.

When your internal environment is unbalanced your body lacks oxygen,

and without oxygen food starts to oxidize, ferment and rot. The

fermentation creates fungus, mold, and yeast to thrive throughout our

body including in the vagina.

Fungus, mold, and yeast are living things that literally feed off of our life

energy. Like anything, they need to “eat”, and as they colonize in your

acidic body they feed on your nutrients.

Additional Diet Information

The complete Bacterial Vaginosis free diet is available in the book “Optimal

Diet Secrets” included as part of this package. This is mandatory reading if

you want to fully restore your health.
