This website is a blessing and I'm so glad that I found it. I've tried several of the holistic remedies and they have all worked successfully. I use 3% hydrogen peroxide to take care of yeast infections as well as BV. With only one use, it works like a charm. I put about 2TB of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 2TB of water into a tube used to give babies medicine (basically you are filling up half the tube with 3%HP and the rest with water) insert it into the vagina, tilt your hips and leave it in for about 4 minutes and there it is, instant relief. I also take folic acid tablets on a regular basis as well as lactobacillis pills I get from a natural food store. I also eat a yogurt everyday. All of this is definitely helping any woman issue I could ever develop. Thank you earth clinic!!

A couple weeks ago I caught a nasty little head cold and while my immune system was hard at work combating the cold virus, the bad lil' bacterias were taking advantage in "other" areas.

I thought at first the little itch and discharge to be the starting of a yeast infection. So I treated it with your common over the counter "yeast" cures and NOTHING happened. The itch, milky discharge and every now and then with thorough inspection, a faint odor. Hummm....

I found this site through investigation and read through many comments sent in by women experiencing similar symptoms. After several cure options to choose from, here is what I did to help cure this BV.

Local drug store:
Florajen 3 - 15 billion CFU
Folic Acid 800mg
Hydrogen Peroxide 3%

Came home and immediately took 2 Florajen, 2 Folic Acid, 50% HP and 50% H2O thorough douche and went to bed. Woke the next morning with no itch and clear discharge with a "sweet" odor but not foul. The discharge still uncommon for me, I continued 2 Florajen and 2 Folic acid by mouth 2 x daily, once in the morning and once at night totaling, 4 Florajen and 4 Folic Acid tabs for that day.

Woke the next morning with still the same discharge symptoms, continued the 2 Florajen and 2 Folic Acids by mouth and went to the store and bought Primadophilus Optima 35 Billion CFU and treated myself as follows:

1 Primadophilus Optima inserted vaginally 1x
Continued the 2 Florajen and 2 Folic Acids that evening and went to bed.

Woke with still the same discharge and continued the 2 Florajen and 2 Folic Acids by mouth BUT also:

inserted vaginally 1 Folic Acid tab vaginally.
Took 2 more Florajen and 2 more Folic Acids by mouth that evening and went to bed.
Woke the next morning and upon inspection learned that my vajay is happy once again!!! BUT also learned that I am starting to get a bladder infection. For F$#!& sake!!! So I went and bought:

Natures Way Cranberry Fruit 45 mg tabs because drinking 100% cranberry juice is awful and I will be taking 6 tabs of this a day with plenty of water until the bladder is happy once again. GOOD GOD!!! If anything changes I will for sure report.

I have suffered from bv since I was in highschool. I am now 25 years old and my selfesteem is just let me say, melted down from all the years of bv. I have never talked to my friends or family about it in fear that they would look down on me. I have never had mult. partners as my doctor assumed I had, and I was an athlete who sweat alot. The smell would come through my clothes, I was just horrified to sit next to anyone. Now in college and I have to wear scrubs, I know that my smell would fill the area that I sat in. Well thank the lord that I came across this web site on new years at 3:26am. I sat in my room and cried because I thought that I was the only one suffering with this, and dealing with the doctors that tell you that you need to start wearing a condom! I have been in my relationship for 3 years. But anyway I have been using this remedy for 3 days now and I feel like a new woman!!:

2 acidophilus(500 mill.) and 2 folic acid(400 mcg) in the morning and at night

1/2 3%HP and 1/2water (TBSP each) and use childrens medicine syringe, and cleanse at night then insert 1 acidophilus tablet vaginally.

It has worked great so far and I plan to continue but do the cleanse 1 time a week and take a lesser dose of pills but continue.

Thank you very much to the creator of this site, and to all the ladies who have posted. You all have really changed my life for the year 09 and beyond. 2009 is mine. THANKS!!!

Just wanted to follow up to let you ladies know that the H202 douche and acidopholis (sp) capsules worked! The entire time that my husband was home on midtour, I used the douche and inserted acidoph. daily and ALL of my BV symptoms stayed away! We are highly sexual couple (4 or 5 times a day) and not one symptom! It didn't even effect my natural lubricant!

Ladies.... it worked!

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and what works for you. Thank you all for having the courage to to discuss our issues and helping so many women.

Having had a bacteral vaginosis infection previously and being an RN, I knew this is what I had again. After reading many of the comments in regard to the BV cure and treatment with oral folic acid supplemenation I decided to try it.

First I took a "loading dose" of 1600 mcg folic acid. I then proceeded to use a 50/50 water/hydrogen peroxide 3% douche with one 800 mcg folic acid thoroughly dissolved within it. Before going to bed on that first day I took another 800 mcg folic acid tablet.

The next day I repeated the 800 mcg of folic acid orally. I also ate 6 oz of plain Dannon yogurt. I also inserted one teaspsoon of yogurt vaginally--not easy for sure as I didn't have a syringe. Later that night I made a lassi (Indian yogurt drink). Here's a link to make some delicious lassis:
http://www.indiamarks.com/guide/Different-types-of-Lassi-Recipes-and-Videos/184

Within 24 hours my vaginal fishy odor was gone along with any abnormal discharge. Within 48 hours all vaginal itching has been resolved. I am still continuing to eat yogurt daily and take folic acid 800 mcg orally twice daily. I plan to cut back to 800 mcg once daily.

Thankfully, I don't frequently suffer from BV. I cannot thank your site enough for sharing this invaluable information! : )

I have struggled with BV for SIX years. I've gone through countless courses of antibiotic treatment, both oral and vaginal. Finally, about a week ago, I was at my wits end and started searching the net for home remedies. I am sooo happy that I found this site!! Here's what I did --

I bought a value pack of douche (doesn't matter the variety, since I really only needed the bottle), 3% hydrogen peroxide,acidophilus capsules (2 billion active) and folic acid 800 mg tablets. I emptied the douche bottle and filled it with 1/2 peroxide, 1/2 water and emptied one of the acidophilus capsules into the bottle. I hopped in the shower and used the douche. It burned a little for a while, but it wasn't too bad. I then took 2 of the acidophilus caps by mouth and one folic acid tablet. I repeated the douche everytime DH and I had sex and take the pills once a day. The discharge, odor and slight itching are all GONE!! I feel fresh and comfortable all day. I can't thank all the ladies here at Earth Clinic enough!!!

Even though I tried all three (Perox, Folic Acid and Acidophilus), I believe that folic acid might really be the key. When I think back over the past 6 years, the only time that I was fully free of BV was when I was pregnant and now I think that's because prenatal vitamins contain 800 mg of folic acid.

Thanks again Earth Clinic!

I believe I contracted bacterial vaginosis from taking two rounds of antibiotics to combat a different ailment. For two months I was suffering from a foul odor and when I had intercourse (if I wasn't too embarrassed to get that far), I had an uncomfortable burning sensation both during and after sex. At first I thought it was a symptom of my earlier issue but when I was deemed "healthy" from it, I still had the odor and irritation. So I started looking and found this site (that was yesterday). I immediately went to the store and bought 3% hydrogen peroxide, 800mg tablets of folic acid, and 40,000,000 CFU (live cells) per tablet of acidophilus xtra. Upon arriving home, I took two acidophilus and one folic acid tablet, and then mixed up 1 tablespoon water to 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide in a glass. I took a syringe and filled it with the peroxide mixture. I inserted it in my vagina and held the liquid there for 30 seconds (I tilted my pelvis up so it wouldn't run out as quickly), and repeated until the entire glass was empty. IMMEDIATELY the foul odor was gone!!!! There is a little bit of irritation but that is nothing! I wouldn't be embarrassed to have sex at this very moment, and it's been all of 20 minutes since the douche! My plan is to continue with the pills daily until they are gone and use the peroxide douche as necessary. If you don't hear from me again, then consider that it has worked permanently! G'luck everyone and thanks so much for this site. It saved me having to embarrass myself by sharing this with a doctor and best of all the remedy WAS CHEAP (I spent all of $6.00 on everything)!

I must say. I was a little doubtful about this remedy, but, I did run right out yesterday and bought peroxide, acidolphilus, 800 mg folic acid.

After reading all the comments left by fellow women going through the same thing, I had to. Well, I douched with 1/4 peroxide and 1/4 water 3 times. I know 3 times sounds a little excessive but I wanted to be sure that if it could work it would work.

I had a strong fishy smell when I say strong I mean strong. When I douched the first time my whole bathroom was emensed in the smell. I had to do it again. After about 10 mins (after the third time) I felt bubbles and took 3 800 mg folic acids and 2 3 billion cpu acidolphilus. I took another shower and washed my lower region with the peroxide and went to sleep. When I woke I took the same amout of pills and I haven't smelled anything, no discharge...nothing :). I am so happy and will continue this but I will douche 3 days from now (only once) and take the pills two times a day 2 folic accid and 2 acidolphilus for a week and the just one of each a day after that.

I am sooooo happy I found this site. I have my self confidence back and I did not have to run to the bathroom everytime I thought I feel discharge to change my liner.

Thanks again and good luck!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the BV CURE!!!! I too am a person who has been suffering from BV for the entire years of my decade old marriage. My husband is very supportive and patient and we handled our "business" when it is feasable for me. We have had two children so we've found the time... :-) THE WINNING REMEDY I TRIED: Hyrogen Peroxide douche (50% bottled water & 50% hydrogen peroxide) and I used a children's medicine dropper to measure 5ml twice. I put my feet up in the bathtub during a bath and held for 2-3 minutes each time. It burned a bit the first time, but it was worth it because the discharge, odor, and itching were gone immediately after the second time. I will do this for 7 days as instructed by other posts on this site. My husband and I slapped 5 and hugged... he's funny!! We ran out to the drugstore and Acidophillius (take 3 billion cpu's or 3 pills) and 800 mg of Folic Acid. I took all this on this morning and will do the same this evening. I did the pills this morning and I have had no discharge or any of the other symptoms as of yet today. I have on a panty liner because I am so cautious and I am checking for any little signs of anything, but still so far... I have nothing. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH... Oh by the way, I eat Yogurt every single day for breakfast and I love it so this is a plus for me.

BV treatment/h202/folic acid/acidophilis

I have had problems with bacterial vaginosis since meeting my hubby. It was very demoralizing and debilitating of my self esteem, due to the odor caused by it. I had been to the doctor before and been diagnosed metrogel, which as many people have stated, works for awhile but comes back, and usually leaves you with a NASTY yeast infection. In fact my doctor at the time even said that she had many women coming in for their monthly perscription of this without even being checked as the infection was a pretty much constant recurring problem! I found that out. She even said that alot of the time it has to do with the sharing of bacteria between your partner, even if you are in a monogamous relationship, that this could be a lifetime deal!!!

I was so elated to find this home remedy and went out and bought everything right away. As many have said, immediately after doing the h202 douche, I felt clean and dry with no more foul odor! Today is the third day for me, and everything is going terrific! I am taking folic acid and acidophilis one time in the morning (with a meal) and one time at night (with a meal)

Thank you Earth Clinic, and thanks to all of these brave women for sharing not only an awesome remedy but your horror stories and battle with BV.

This is not something women talk about freely amongst eachother, but I am sure many woment have had this problem, and I am going to be sure to let all the women I know, in on this great secret!

I am writing about BV which believe it or not, I have had for over 30 years. I went to the doctor back in the 70's, 80'S and 90's. Unfortunately it kept coming back no matter what. I was given flagyl everytime. Within days the discharge and the fishy smell came back. At first, the itching was horrific. After awhile with all the antibiotics I took the itching did go away but I was left with the discharge and the odor. I remember distinctly when I was in school, a couple of my classmates approached me about going out to lunch with them. As I replied "Ok" and turned to grab my bag, the odor was too much to bear. And it appears that they got a whiff of it as well. The look on their faces as they turned to each other made me want to go run into a cave. Since then, I married and had sexual problems due to my reluctance to have sex until my husband no longer wanted to have sex with me and we eventually divorced. Before we divorced I visited the doctor (s) at least 3 times in a year and was always given the same thing with little or no results. It never completely cleared up because though the symptoms of discharge were minimal they were still there. For instance, the discharge was less then previous. There still was a tiny little drop present.
Anyway, after all the disappointments that I went through with these antibiotics and no results, I gave up on going to the doctor. Then I stumbled on this site and did the peroxide, folic acid, and acidophilus treatment.

I started on Monday and notice a significant difference. There is NO DISCHARGE. NO ITCHING. VERY FAINT ODOR. I THINK IT WILL SOON BE GONE COMPLETELY.

I am happy beyond compare and would recommend this treatment to anyone and would also advise them not to use antibiotics regardless of what the doctors recommend. Finally after all these years, I have something that works without a prescription. A terrible weight has been lifted and I feel so clean now.

truely a cure for bv:

get a bottled water bottle. empty half the water out and fill the other half bottle with 3% hydrogen peroxide. get a infant measuring syringe (from babies r us ,target).

suck the peroxide mixture into the syringe(about 3-5 ml depending on how big your syringe is) lay down on the floor or bath tub or bed(get a towel or something to catch the water mixture)insert the syringe and try to hold or at least lay there for a minute or two after insertion. if your talented enough to raise your hips a little to allow it to get even deeper than do so. repeat once or twice if you want.if repeated pour the mixture in a small cup or shot glass as not to badly contaminate your bottle mixture.which i keep the bottle mixture premixed for easy access for up to a week. but you dont have to do it that way. if you dont want to lay down then do it standing up over the toilet or have a towel to catch.

take 800 mcg folic acid orally twice a day and what's most important is the L acidophillis at least 1-2 BILLION orally a day. i try to take mine first thing in am before i eat. you can increase the acidophyllis up to 7-8 billion through out the day if certain things bring on your bv (sex,period,stress.) increase the dosage to that amount as well if your flushing more frequently. but 1-2 billion a day should be cool but you'll learn what works for you. i take the chewable 1 billion per tablet acidopholis (walgreens)more convenient for me.i want to try inserting liquid acidophillis with the syringe overnight once a week but i have to find an unflavored kind.

you can flush when needed not neccesarely everyday but if you do, take the acidophllis . i flushed after sex and about every day for a while and it kept things at bay. but your gonna need the acidophllis in conjunction no exceptions.

i have been struggling with bv for 2 years. i have been to my gyn. over and over again hoping to be cured but always getting let down. i have tried metrogel, which worked tempoarily every time,and metronidazole pills that made me feel miserable, and didnt work at all. After getting bv, and yeast infections at the same time (yuck!), i had enough. i have felt so miserable and dirty for 2 years. i came across this site, and it has been heaven sent. i took the metro pills for a week, then started taking 3 400mg of folic acid, and 4 500 milionmg pills of acidophilus. the bv is gone! no smell, no discharge, no burning feeling! i am so thrilled! i havnt felt this clean in years. thank you sooooo much for this. if you do your reasearch, you'll realize that taking these viatimins makes so much sense. bv is a ph imbalance in the vagina, the "bad" bacteria overgrow the "good" bacteria that you need to have in order to maintain a healthy ph. so the metronidazole kills everything, not restoring the good bacteria all over again, so these viatimins do the job. i have been trying this for 3 days, so far so good, i will definitly check back and let everyone know how things go! thank you soooo much. i am relieved.

First off...THANKS EARTH CLINIC FOR GETTING MY LIFE BACK-YOU ARE A GODSEND!!! My story is much like the rest, 10 years ago I got a new sex partner and boom... my vag became a stranger to me. I was soon diagnosed with Bacterial Vaginosis. Oh the shame and depression! The SMELL, the constant changing of undees, worrying if anyone else notices. I was mortified and wouldn't talk about it w/any of my friends. I had lost so much self confidence b/c of this plague. After many failed and only temporarily effective dr. prescriptions, I just gave up and forced myself to accept this. I can't understand how doctors were just not really concerned about a chronic TEN YEAR infection. After a decade of suffering I somehow stumbled upon this website, and now ALL IS WELL! 100% better, back to normal. Although I had forgotten what normal even was for me.

I was a little weary at first about using hydrogen peroxide 3% internally, but I went for it. I emptied a summmer's eve douche bottle, filled it with 50% H2O2 3% and 50% bottled water. Laid in the bathtub and let it go. Held it for 30 secs. (there was a slight burning sensation but I swear its NO BIG DEAL) then pushed it out. I took 2 Folic Acid pills (400 mcg each) along w/2 Acidophilus pills (3 billion CFU's or 240 mg. each) and went to bed. By morning, I had NO SMELL, NO DISCHARGE, NO TRACE OF BV WHATSOEVER! It's been a full 24 hrs. later and still smells like pure water down there! And I worked out and haven't even showered yet. UNBELIEVABLE! I plan on taking 2 Folic Acid pills and 2 Acidophilus pills 2x daily for first week, then taper off to once DAILY. What a wonderful, life changing discovery earth clinic has been to me!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will update this in 1 week.
