My daughter has vaginitis which has not gone away after several RX’s of antibiotics. What natural cures or supplements could help her?
One strong possibility for a vaginal problem is candida, or yeast, which is only made worse with each antibiotic. If that is the problem, the following is important:
1. Diet-since sugar feeds Candida, it has to be totally eliminated, including eating fruits. Also, yeast (like in bread) needs to be eliminated.
2. Probiotics need to be replenished. Since the oral ingestion of probiotics may not reach the vaginal tract, a douche with 1 teaspoon powdered probiotics and 1 teaspoon powdered vitamin C (to acidify the solution) has proved very successful.
3. Herbals that are anti-fungal may also help-capryllic acid (not an herb but a saturated fat), Pau D’Arco, grapefruit seed extract (citricidal).
4. The vaginal area can become irritated with the use of soap. Just use clean, warm water to cleanse the area, and be gentle in cleansing. Avoid bubble baths.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:
