Bacterial Vaginosis
It affects what you do. Who you see and where you go. I personally think it's the single worst things that can happen to a woman. It destroys your confidence and really takes away your life. So how do we get our life back?
I am going to be honest with you. There is no one pill cure all. You have to get to the root of the issue and attack it at many different angles.
But I'm going to give you an armory. . . And you will beat this.
I've spent hours upon hours and I've come up with many different strategies to implement and I am sure it works. Determination is key.
You must be consistent. Set your alarm if you have to and take "your medicine". This is medicine after all. What you need to know is that God gave us everything we need to heal ourselves here on earth. So have faith !
If you have B.V. you most likely have an over growth of Candida too, and may not even know it. They both kinda go hand in hand.
No worries! The natural remedies I recommend fight BOTH Candida and B.V. at the same time. Anti-biotics fail 90% of the time. Natural Remedies are often stronger and cheaper, with less side affects. Plus you don't need to wait in a waiting room to get it. You can have it delivered right to your door, and a lot of these you probably already have laying around your home.
There are soo many different ways to heal yourself NATURALLY. Let me tell you, I literally have been in and out of doctors offices like 30X over the past 2 years. I say 2 years because there was a whole nother 2 years that I did absolutely nothing about my illness. That's right. It was left untreated. I didn't know what to do! I literally was too humiliated to go to the doctor, didn't have the money to go, and kept making excuses for myself putting it off and douching. I know, the worst thing I can possibly do. My infection was so severe I had 102 degree fever and chills often. It become something I was used to. It was quite sad.
Then finally I got up the courage to see a doctor. She told me I had no STD'S but I had a bacterial infection. I thought WHEW! No STD'S this is great! Little did I know, I had something worse. Something that cannot be cured with a simple round of anti-biotics. Anti-biotics fail over 80% of the time in women. I did over TWENTY rounds of anti-biotics. yes, TWENTY. Infact, I still have some laying around some where. And they were happy to give me them. Little did I know, they were completely DESTROYING my immune system and my body.
On top of all of that giving me an extremely bad case of systemic candida that I STILL battle with to this day. Doctors are irresponsible if they give you a course of anti-biotics with no anti-fungal to take afterwards. If you have taken antibiotics you likely have a yeast infection on top of B.V. which is making the situation much much worse.
So believe me when I say that I feel your pain! I had the absolute worst case of both infections. I am proud to say I have cured myself of B.V. but the Candida is something I still battle with. And though some days it may seem like an uphill battle, it is something I know I have to fight for, and I want to teach others how to heal themselves too. This disease landed me in the hospital unable to breathe, and I had to explain to the E.R. doctor their is Candida in my lungs. He basically looked at me like I was crazy. I had to educate HIM about die off reactions.
So my goal is to make sure what happened to me, doesn't happen to any one else.
So, let's get on with it!
The first thing you need to do is alkaline your body. There are many different ways to do this. Our ideal pH is slightly alkaline - 7.30 to 7.45. Anything below a 7 is considered acidic. I use Hydrion PH strips to test myself, I bought mine from amazon. When I first got my strips I wasn't prepared to see how acidic I really was. I was shocked. And I do all or most of these techniques every single day. You have to attack it at many different angles if you want it to go away.
* The star means its a must have.
Ways to alkalize and heal your body :
-Drink 1/4rth teaspoon of Baking Soda in your water every single day and night. Can do it up to 3X a day prefferably before a meal.*
-Drink Apple Cider Vinegar in your water through out the day. I drink atleast 3 cups a day.*
-PROBIOTICS.* Buy a good probiotic. I use the Ultimate Flora brand - 25 billion. I take this by mouth and use vaginally as well. No need to buy a seperate "vaginal probiotic" they are all the same. I heard people using yogurt and sticking that inside of them. Do NOT do this. It will make things worse. Just buy yourself a probiotic and use that. Probiotic is the "good bacteria" that is found in our body it. *
-Coconut Oil . Eat teaspoon 3X a day. * Must have
-A blend of 5 Alkaline Minerals, and you just put this in your water and drink it. I use the brand PHion and it's called "Alkaline Minerals" I feel so much better after I take this. It helps my bones a lot. Contains Vit D . Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Manganese. And if you can afford it then I say absolutely get it. If you are tight on money you can eat brown rice for your dose of potassium. Eat lots of greens and veggies, ALOT, and take multivitamin.
-Multi-Vitamin and supplements. You can just take a multivitamin but if you want to kick it up a knotch you can take other vitamins as well. I usually take Vit D, Vit C, Cranberry supplement, fish oil, and Vit E along with it.
-Herbs. This is a very important step. Herbs are very powerful. :
- Curcumin 95 brand Jarrow Formulas, it's basically Turmeric (you can also eat turmeric in your diet)
-Ginger Root, Brand Nature's Bounty it's an anti-inflammatory and antifungal ( Can also eat ginger root)
- *Garlic , Brand Garlinase * You absolutely need garlic and it has to be this brand, it contains allicin. ( Can also incorporate raw chopped up garlic in your diet, eat it with bread or whatever you want to mix it with) However you must still have the garlic capsules. You can buy it from amazon for like 6$
-"Balance Complex" for women is an extremely good brand. You can buy it off amazon. It contains amazing medicinal herbs that are just excellent at fighting bacteria and infections, also fungi, If you want to go out and buy these seperatly you can but these pills are amazing. It contains : Oregano Extract, Caprylic Acid (magnesium caprylate), L.Acidophilus aka PROBIOTICS! , Protease, Cellulase, Aloe Vera, Arabinoglacatan, Anise Seed, Black Walnut Hulls, Wormwood and Reishi Mushroom. It is 40$ a bottle.
-*An alternative for the "Balance Complex" is called "Candida Gone" by nutracraft! And it has the EXACT same ingredients as the Balance Complex I have both the bottles side by side. CandidaGone is 20$ cheaper... can also be bought on amazon. Comes with 2 booklets that are really informative. I know it says "CandidaGone" but it is also for Bacterial Vaginosis, and works really well for it. Either the CandidaGone or the Balance Complex is another must have.*
- *Essential Oils are very, very powerful.
Becareful when using essential oils they are very concentrated and only use 1-2 drops at a time. Please educate yourself on the oils before using if you ingest too much it can be very hazardous to your health. And especially with a weakened immune system the "die off" reactions can be too much.
I get my oils from mountainroseherbs.com, it is important you go through a trusted site because not oils are made equally. Mountainroseherbs are amazing and high quality.
You need :
Oregano Essential Oil
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Lemongrass Essential Oil
Clove Bud Essential Oil
and the King of all Oils "Frankincense"
If you have time look up the benefits of Frankincense, it is the only oil that can actually repair damaged cells in our body. I just actually bought some Frankincense from mountainroseherbs it was 20$ being by far the most expensive oil, the other scost round 6$. also has anti-aging properties, as well as amazing health benefits.
Frankincense was used only by Kings and Queens in the olden age and was brough to Baby Jesus as a gift by the 3 wise men.
It cost 20$ at mountainroseherbs but over close to 100$ on other sites so it sells out quickly. Be put on the list to be known when it's in stock. There are different species of Frankincense I suggest researching the carterri is good and frereana.
You always want to use these oils with a carrier oil. Never use them alone they will burn your skin. I use Coconut Oil as my carrier oil.
-Take an ice tray fill one spot up half way with coconut oil, then pour 1 drop of an essential oil. One drop to start with! Then fill the rest of the space up with coconut oil and stick it in the freezer. And voila! You have your very first suppository.
You can stick this in you.
The first time I did this I got sick too quickly so I had to push it out of me on the toilet, it was way too strong for me. Even a drop is extremely strong because it is so concentrated. So if you start to feel ill you can sit on the toilet and let it come out of you.
Please remember to only use 1 drop to start with! More does not equal better. It can make you extremely sick if you are irresponsible and use too much. Allow time for your body to get used to it. The bacteria inside of you may die off too quickly. It releases toxins in your blood. But remember this is a good thing if the bacteria inside of you is dying. You will experience "die off" symptoms but this is normal, and there is really no other way around it.
-Drink lots and lots and lots of water. We have to eliminate waste so we don't put too much stress on our liver and kidneys. Water removes toxins in your body.
-Drink Lemon in your water every day to alkaline your body
-Cut out all sugars and carbs. No wheat, white flour, breads, pastas, soda, candy, and if you have a really bad case of yeast infection do not even eat fruit. This feeds the yeast that is growing inside of you. It is a fungus and is very difficult to get rid of.
-Get on the Anti- Candida Diet
- Norforms ! A much healthier alternative to douching. It is a gel. It contains Lactic Acid which actually heals you so it doesn't just cover up the smell it helps heal you. Lactic Acid feed the good bacteria inside your vagina. These are so safe you can use every day. Can be bought on Amazon 5$ -12 in 1 pack.
-Although I do NOT reccomend douching ever. If you have an extremely, extremely bad case of B.V. and you feel like you just have to douche. Please use 3/4rth water and the rest fill it up with Apple Cider Vinegar. Never use any other types of douches, or vinegars. Use Apple Cider Vinegar or Hydrogen Peroxide only. Hydrogen Peroxide is found in healthy vaginas. However whenever I used it it just stunk and didn't do much for me. I prefer ACV.
Use Apple Cider Vinegar, water and you can add 3 drops of essential oils. Prefferably either Tea Tree, Oregano, Clove , or Lemongrass. Only do this once. Do not keep douching.
Only do it once to get the bacteria out so you can have a fresh slate.
Directly after douching insert a Probiotic vaginaly.
It is important to add Probiotic, do not skip this step. Douching not only kills off the bad bacteria, but the good bacteria too. And if you have no good bacteria in your vagina to balance it out you will NEVER get better and will only get worse.
- You can take Essential Oil Bath : Use Tea Tree, Oregano, Clove or Lemongrass
-Take an Epsom Salt Bath - This detoxes your body and pulls the toxins out, also Epsom Salt is made up of magnesium and is a good source of it.
If you have any questions feel fee to contact me and I will help you. These procedures can also be done for those struggling with Candida. Good thing about this is that it destroys both at the same time. No need for a seperate anti biotic and anti fungal because these are both. :) Good luck!
