I am a long-time sufferer of chronic bacterial vaginosis. Everytime I would go to the doc to get treated, two months later I would have another infection. I put a ton of energy into alternative remedies, and found that while the symptoms were delayed, none of these remedies prevented or got rid of the infection.
Purely by accident, I discovered a diet rich in fresh vegetable and fruit juices (from a juicer, NOT processed, canned, bottled, and/or high-sugar juices) have rid my body of this embarrassing imbalance. I've also eliminated 90-100% of all high fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, and animal products from my diet. I am starting a total juice feast to cleanse my body, but as I transition into this phase I've noticed my BV is completely gone (even while eating 10% normal- like I did before). I even had an active infection before I started.
I know this isn't about juicing, but I have to say that since I started juicing it has become more difficult to eat processed foods. It's also important to note that I would have to eat all day long to consume the amount of fruits and vegetables I get through juicing, so adding a salad here and there is probably not going to provide the same benefits as juicing.
I can't explain why this is working so well, but I had to share it with you all. I know how frustrating and self-esteem destroying these chronic infections can be. If I only knew juicing would have helped like this I would have started doing it a long time ago. Among my many attempts with prescription remedies, OTC vaginal inserts and pro-biotics this is the only approach that has had a solid, undeniable impact on my BV.
If anything changes I will let you know. Peace and Health!
Thanks Geekgirl for your post. I have been suffering from Chronic BV for over 6 years - following my cervix surgery. I have tried everything including, prescribed Flagyl, tindamax, metro-gel....nothing has worked. And none of my specialists (Gyno) seem to know how to permanately get rid of it. I will try your remedy....I have very low blood sugar, so I may have to increase the amount of naturally sweet fruit (to avoid fainting). Just so I understand...you basically juiced fresh fruit and veggie's...and that's all you consumed? I sound scared, because I am a big meat-eater..and I eat a lot of starches ...rice/french fries. LOL. I will give this a try. Thank you for your post!
