to --Jersey85.
i used a large surrange. Just mix 1 tbls of bottled water and 1 tblsp of peroxide, lay on your back in the bath tub and squirt the mixture inside. I let it sit in there for 15 seconds. Then stand up and let the liquid out and repeat but now using water only to rinse out.
Suggestion... since most of bacteria will die after this precedure, you need to restore good bacteria. I used a capsule of Accidophilus, opened it and mixed inside powder with 1 tblsp of water in a cup, absorbed mixture with an unwrapped tampon and inserted it inside for a couple of hours. also took two capsules orally. Great results. !!!! no more problems.

My boyfriend also got treated for it but it doesn't seem to have any effect on him -he does however notice the smell from me (all of a sudden) and while he is understanding, it is SO EMBARRASSING!! I no longer just give into the impulsive "rendezvous" with him, but am paranoid and have to make sure I go wash before hand and have a hard time relaxing out of fear that we can smell me....
I have gone to my GP several times -who just says a lot of women suffer from it and to give it time -well, I don't have time and I can't do anymore antibiotics....
So... I have done the Boric Acid suppositories -which caused me to bleed 2-3 days after every time I started them (Had my period 5 times in 2,5 months as a result). -Went to my GYN, who has tested me 3 times now for everything -and I have no STDs. -Apparently I just am too sensitive for the Boric Acid??
-Has anyone else had those problems?? Please respond if that is "a normal response" as Boric Acid is harsh and if it is "ok" just to be sensitive to it?? Or if there is something else I should look out for/worry about??
God I hate having these problems; especially as I never have had them before other than the odd yeast infection here and there... (I am turning 31 and am wondering if it is a hormonal change??)
I also did start drinking ACV back in March 6 months ago and am wondering if that could be it -now that I JUST read your note on not to drink ACV if you suffer from BV (BV occurred for the first time in May) -The first two months I drank the ACV religiously and loved it -I also started oil pulling in mid march and had no problems. I have been drinking ACV on and off for the past 2-3 months -hence why I never paired the two together...
I then stopped oil pulling about 2 months ago (july) due to an inconsistent schedule and traveling a lot -but I miss it and will start that again -the benefits were AMAZING for my skin... However I don't know if any of that could have caused the BV to start?? Seems highly unlikely.... What do you think??
I now have been doing the Hydrogen peroxide douches on and off for about a month -they work great when I do them but how often and for how long should I continue with this?
I did the first 5 days in a row -thought I was clear but it came back and now I have just used them every other or third day as I don't want to overdo it??
I also started the 800mcg Folic Acid and 1000mg Acidophilus everyday for 4 days -which cleared me for 2 days about 10 days ago, but then it came back and I am back on your web site again, as I can't seem to kick this or am wondering if I am doing something wrong??
Do I need to take the Folic Acid and acidophilus infinitely?? As in the rest of my life -or will it eventually subside??
Sorry for all these questions, I am just at loss in regards to this BV and so sad to be dealing with this! I will however say THANK YOU TO THIS AMAZING SITE -for sharing all these women's stories and advice, and also for already helping me with ACV -when I couldn't get rid of laryngitis and bronchitis. OIL PULLING which cleared up my acne, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE which cleared my ear infection -I owe you a great great deal..... THANK YOU!!

This is what I did:
#1 15cc bottled water + 15cc Peroxide (3%) mix together. I happened to have a large surrenge so i used it. Lay on your back in bath tub and put the mixture inside your area. I let it sit there for 15 seconds, then stand up and let it out. and repeat using only bottled water this time to just rinse it out.
Then take a capsule ! (note: it is a capsule) of acidophilus and OPEN it. Shake the powder into a cup and mix with 1 TBLSP of water.Using an unwrapped tampon (I used a small Tampax Pearl) absorb the mixture. It will immediately look and feel like skin lotion on tampon. Insert inside of you.
Take two pills of acidophilus orally. And take a 2 hour nap. THATS IT!!!!! GONE !U are fresh clean and happy again as soon as u take tampon out of you couple hours later. Never have i ever thought this could be possible. Not a sign of BV in 2 hours or next morning. It wouldnt hurt to repeat it the next day. AMAZING! Too sad doctors dont prescribe this instead of pills that dont even work. This method first cleans out bad cultures and then replaces them with good cultures. Love your web site! Julie

I WROTE ON AUG. 15, 2008 THAT THE ABOVE REMEDY WORKED. WHICH IS TRUE THE REMEDY WORKED BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. BY THIS I MEAN THE DISCHARGE CAME BACK BUT NOT IN FULL FORCE JUST IN A SMALL AMOUNT, THE SMELL IS COMPLETELY GONE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO BE RID OF THE DISCHARGE IS TO DOUCHE WITH THE H202 EVERY NIGHT WHICH JUST A BIT MUCH. SO I HAVE UPPED THE INTAKE OF FOLIC ACID(2)PER DAY AND ACIDOPHILUS(2) PER WEEK I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW THAT WORKS OUT. BUT AS OF TODAY I DO HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A DISCHARGE. I CAN'T SAY THAT IT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE IT DOES I ALSO BELIEVE IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL'S BODY -- EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT.

I take 800 mg of folic acid and about 8 acidopholus pills(1 billion per pill) a day. That may sound like a lot but it's perfectly safe since they make ones with 10 billion per pill.
I STILL NEEDED MORE INFO to understand why these things had anything to do with curing BV. It turns out that they help yeast infections too! I looked this up on wikipedia. Take a look...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactobacillus_acidophilus
"Lactobacillus acidophilus is one species in the genus Lactobacillus. It is sometimes used commercially together with Streptococcus salivarius and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus in the production of acidophilus-type yogurt.
Lactobacillus acidophilus gets its name from lacto- meaning milk, -bacillus meaning rod-like in shape, and acidophilus meaning acid-loving. This bacterium thrives in more acidic environments than most related microorganisms (pH 4-5 or lower) and grows best at 30 degrees Celsius. L. acidophilus occurs naturally in the human and animal gastrointestinal tract, mouth, and vagina.[1] L. acidophilus ferments lactose into lactic acid, like many (but not all) lactic acid bacteria. Certain related species (known as heterofermentive) also produce ethanol, carbon dioxide, and acetic acid this way. L. acidophilus itself (a homofermentative microorganism) produces only lactic acid. Like many bacteria, L. acidophilus can be killed by excess heat, moisture, or direct sunlight.
Some strains of L. acidophilus may be considered a probiotic or "friendly" bacteria.[2] These types of healthy bacteria inhabit the intestines and vagina and protect against some unhealthy organisms. The breakdown of nutrients by L. acidophilus produces lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other byproducts that make the environment hostile for undesired organisms. L. acidophilus also tends to consume the nutrients many other microorganisms depend on, thus outcompeting possibly harmful bacteria in the digestive tract. During digestion, L. acidophilus also assists in the production of niacin, folic acid, and pyridoxine. L. acidophilus can assist in bile deconjugation, separating amino acids from bile acids, which can then be recycled by the body.[3]
Some research has indicated L. acidophilus may provide additional health benefits, including improved gastrointestinal function, a boosted immune system, and a decrease in the frequency of vaginal yeast infections. Some people report L. acidophilus provides relief from indigestion and diarrhea.[4] A University of Nebraska study found that feed supplemented with L. acidophilus and fed to cattle resulted in a 61% reduction of Escherichia coli 0157:H7. Research has indicated L. acidophilus may be helpful reducing serum cholesterol levels.[5]
L. acidophilus is part of the normal vaginal flora.[6] The acid produced by L. acidophilus in the vagina helps to control the growth of the fungus Candida albicans, helping to prevent vaginal yeast infections. The same beneficial effect has been observed in cases of oral or gastrointestinal Candidiasis infections. Certain spermicides and contraceptive creams can kill L. acidophilus in the vagina, clearing the path to possible yeast infections.
Antibiotics taken orally will also kill beneficial bacteria, including L. acidophilus. After a therapy that includes antibiotics, patients are occasionally instructed to take an L. acidophilus treatment in order to recolonize the gastrointestinal tract. To that effect, L. acidophilus is often sold in health stores in pill or powder form as a nutritional supplement. A part of the claims in favor of such treatment refer to attaining a better digestion thanks to a recovered normal intestinal flora, the ensuing reduction of constipation, while others indicate a link between L. acidophilus and a possible decrease in the incidence of certain diseases, including yeast infections in the upper digestive tract (especially those caused by Candida albicans), other gastrointestinal disorders, and a weakened immune system. However, despite popular belief, most researchers agree that the present knowledge on the nutritional benefits of taking L. acidophilus supplements is inconsistent and inconclusive, and that further study is needed before substantiating many of these claims."
I hope that helps!
