Hey there

Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life. These happy days come round a few times every year for me and I cherish every single one.

So you might be wondering what happened. Well I got a call from one of my old BV patients, Susan and she told me how her life had transformed ever since she cured her BV 2 years ago.

Susan's was one of those near-perfect scenarios. With her BV cured, she was able to put in more effort at work and ended up being appointed a managerial role with a huge raise.

As you know, when you're affected by BV, it can bring turmoil to the whole family. When Susan cured herself, she was able to spend more time with her husband and their children (whom I have met – an adorable boy and baby girl). Her boy is doing better at school and her baby girl is reaching her milestones just fine. Susan's husband is also doing a lot better at work now that things are a lot more easy-going at home.

Susan called me when they moved into their new house in a much nicer part of town. Yeh, I know – how much more perfect can things get? I can't describe to you how happy Susan's little story made me. The one thing that makes me happier than when I lost my own BV is when my patients call me with THEIR success stories.

I realized yesterday more than ever that I want YOU to have the same success that Susan did, and I want you to write to me when you have achieved your own success over BV.

Hi, it's Louise again

I just found out today that I have a gas leak in my kitchen. I'm still waiting for the gas engineer to come and take a look. But don't worry, I turned off the gas at the mains so I'm pretty sure I'm not in any danger.

I asked my friend Bob to come round and take a look. Bob isn't a certified gas engineer so he couldn't repair the leak for me. But being a builder he does know a thing or two about gas.

He explained the process of locating the part of the pipe the leak was coming from. It seemed pretty straight forward. You just dab a load of foam-like substance around the pipes and turn the gas on. The leak will show where the foam forms bubbles from the pressure of the leaking gas.

Unfortunately bacterial vaginosis isn't this simple. Where a gas leak can be pinned down to one little opening in a pipe, bacterial vaginosis depends on a multitude of different factors, some more important than others.

—————————————————————————————————————-

But don't worry. I'm here to help you make treating bacterial vaginosis as easy as 1, 2, 3. When you know the facts, treating bacterial vaginosis will not only be safer than repairing a kitchen gas leak, but also easier.

—————————————————————————————————————-

One Of The Most Neglected Factors In The Treatment Of Bacterial Vaginosis

Among the most important but neglected factors in bacterial vaginosis is your immune system. A weak immune system is a common cause of bacterial vaginosis. But the funny thing is even if your BV was caused by something else (like a reduced lactobacilli count), your immune system still plays an important role when it comes to treating your BV.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Regardless of what treatment you are using, it is easier to effectively and permanently cure BV when your immune system is up and running at maximum capacity.

—————————————————————————————————————-

If you have been suffering from recurrent BV, it's worthwhile getting a blood test from your doctor to make sure your immune system is functioning well. Ask for a 'full blood count', which includes a measure of the number of immune cells in your blood.

But even if you are found to have a normal immune system, it still helps to take measures to further improve the performance of your immune system.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Clinical studies have shown vast improvements in women who take specific measures to naturally fortify their immune system.

—————————————————————————————————————-

How To Fortify Your Immune System

There are a number of different ways you can fortify your immune system using specific dietary tactics. I won't go into all the details now, but I WILL tell you about one key dietary tactic that has worked for many women both under my own care and for hundreds of women in clinical studies.

This key tactic involves the micronutrient folate. Studies have found a low folate intake to be associated with an increased incidence of BV. Not only that, women who have low folate levels are also known to have more severe BV than women with normal folate levels.

Folic acid supplements are quite commonly used by women around the world to help cure BV naturally.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Although taking folic acid supplements is commonly known to reduce the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis and to reduce the risk of recurrence, this nutrient is best used in combination with other BV treatments as part of a strategic combination for treating BV permanently.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Folic acid supplements go very well with hydrogen peroxide and probiotics which I mentioned to you in my earlier emails. When you use folic acid with these two treatments, it really gives your results a huge boost – one that you won't notice if you use folic acid on its own.

You can either use folic acid supplements or just increase folate in your diet. Here are some good dietary sources of folate:

• Breakfast cereals (fortified with folic acid in the US and other countries)
• Black-eyed peas
• Spinach
• Great Northern Beans
• Asparagus
• Green peas
• Beef liver
• Broccoli
• Avocado
• Romaine lettuce
• Turnip greens
• Eggs
• Papaya
• Bananas

So get to it. Get some folate in your diet today, or get a hold of some folic acid supplements. Use folate in combination with other BV Treatments and see yourself ahead of 90% of other women who are trying to cure their bacterial vaginosis permanently.

Hi, it's Louise

I took my little 4-year old niece Sarah to the park last Sunday. She loves to play on the monkey bars and swings. Her favorite however is the slide, and she always goes to that one first.

Once she's bored of the slide she'll move on to the monkey bars and swing. Last Sunday was no different. Sarah went straight for the slide. It never ceases to amaze me how kids can just go on doing the same thing over and over again without getting bored or tired. Her 10th slide was no less fun than her first. 

As always however, she eventually started to make her way toward the monkey bars, when I noticed something that turned my stomach.

There were four or five teenage girls (i'd guess around 13-14 years old) lingering by the monkey bars, one of them on the swing being pushed by her 'mate'. The three on the monkey bars were smoking.

I quickly darted toward Sarah and grabbed her by the hand. There was no way  I was going to let my niece play in a smoke-infested area. I told her she could play on the monkey bars when 'those bad girls go away'.

After about 30 minutes they were still there, showing no sign that they were going to move. There were some other children who wanted to play on the monkey bars, but they were either stopped by there moms or they were too scared to play near the intimidating teenagers.

So I decided to take a stand. I walked up to the girls and politely asked them to move away from the children's area. Ok, maybe I wasn't 100% polite. I may have been a little abrupt and raised my voice a by a moderate degree. 

Surprisingly enough, they were all very apologetic. They all got up and walked away.

Soon enough, all the younger kids were laughing and playing with Sarah on the monkey-bars. The whole environment inside the children's play area had changed. There was a lot more laughter and everything just felt healthy and normal.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Now I tell you this story because it holds much importance in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

—————————————————————————————————————-

In my last email I told you about the use of probiotics in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

But the trouble with using probiotics on their own is just as the young children in the play area were unable to remove and take over from the filthy smoking teenagers by the monkey bars, so do probiotics have trouble getting rid of the bad overgrown bacteria that are already there in bacterial vaginosis.

Although probiotics on their own DO work for some women, the majority of women need something else to get rid of the bad overgrown bacteria first. At the park, that something else was me. Once I got rid of the smokers, the children were able to have fun, enjoy themselves and literally transform the environment in the park.

This is why probiotics are an excellent adjunct to antibiotics. Antibiotics do a great job at killing the overgrown bad bacteria, whereas probiotics help to restore the vaginal environment to its natural, healthy state. But I can think of something better than antibiotics that you can use. It is both natural and comes without the side-effects of antibiotics.

The Use Of Hydrogen Peroxide As A Selective Bactericidal Agent In Curing Bacterial Vaginosis.

The trouble with antibiotics is they kill both good AND bad bacteria in your vagina. When taken orally, they also kill bacteria and upset the microbial balance in other organs in your body.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Hydrogen peroxide on the other hand, is a perfectly natural BV remedy that selectively kills only the bad bacteria inside your vagina.

—————————————————————————————————————-

The name 'hydrogen peroxide' kind of makes it sound like a harsh man-made chemical. But in actual fact it is produced naturally by the vagina's lactobacilli. 

Every normal and healthy vagina contains hydrogen peroxide. Its chemical composition is similar to water with an added oxygen atom (H2O2). It is this extra oxygen atom that oxidizes and kills the overgrown bad bacteria.

Since hydrogen peroxide does not kill lactobacilli, it is known as a selective bactericidal agent, in that it kills only the bad bacteria in your vagina.

—————————————————————————————————————-

In my experience, the use of hydrogen peroxide followed by probiotics is a truly powerful strategic treatment plan for bacterial vaginosis.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Women who use these two treatments together achieve far better results than those who use either probiotics or hydrogen peroxide alone.

Another added bonus to using hydrogen peroxide is that its effects are almost instantaneous. As soon as you use a hydrogen peroxide douche, you can expect to hear a fizzing sound with white foam coming out, which indicates that the bad bacteria are being oxidized and killed. Following this you can expect your symptoms of foul vaginal odor and excess discharge to be gone.

Hydrogen peroxide is very inexpensive. It is readily available in most pharmacies and drug stores, and you can also order it online.

So get to it. If you are being particularly troubled by your symptoms, get yourself some hydrogen peroxide and you'll very likely be free of your symptoms today!

In the next session I'll be revealing one of the most neglected yet powerful BV remedies out there. This remedy can work on its own, but its effects are tremendously greater when used in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide and probiotics.

It has a completely different mode of action from most other natural BV remedies and attacks bacterial vaginosis from a whole different angle.  This is definitely one NOT to be missed, so make sure you open my next email to you and check out the next session in your BV mini-course.

Kindest regards

Hello again

Do you have vivid dreams? I used to, but for the last few months I've been having these vague dreams that you don't really remember when you wake up. 

All you remember is your emotions and how you felt – whether you felt scared, sad, happy, excited or in love. Last night was particularly confusing for me, as I think I felt every emotion under the sun.

I decided this morning that the message I communicate to YOU will be different. Rather than be elusive and hard to understand, I want to be as clear and concise as I can.

—————————————————————————————————————-

I want to make it so you can take the information I give you and start applying it NOW, so you can cure your BV as quickly as possible.

—————————————————————————————————————-

In my last email I told you about the strategic and individualized approach to curing your BV permanently. This is something that you will learn and master over time. But for now I want to tell you about some specific treatments that you can start using today.

I want to tell you today about probiotics. Probiotics are yogurts, tablets or capsules that contain good bacteria.

How Do Probiotics Work?

Before you had BV, your vagina contained lots of good bacteria called 'lactobacilli'. Lactobacilli help to maintain the healthy environment inside your vagina, by releasing chemicals that stop bad bacteria from overgrowing.

When you get BV, your lactobacilli count decreases and your vagina is filled with a bad strain of bacteria called gardnerella. Probiotics work by replacing the good, lactobacilli bacteria inside your vagina.

Once inside your vagina, the lactobacilli get to work at changing the vaginal environment back to its natural and healthy state and killing off the excess bad bacteria, thereby curing you of your BV.

What Type Of Probiotic Should You Use?

Probiotics are found in special types of yogurts and in tablets/capsules/suppositories.

Probiotic yogurts can be found in health food stores and in some large supermarkets. Just using any type of yogurt won't do. You have to get the stuff that is unpasteurized and contains live strains of lactobacilli. You can also find probiotic tablets in health food stores or order them from the internet.

How Do You Use Probiotics?

You can use probiotics either orally or vaginally. When you eat probiotic yogurts or a probiotic tablet/capsule, the lactobacilli make their way through your gut and then sit in your rectum. Since your rectum lies just behind your vagina, these lactobacilli are able to migrate through the walls of your rectum and vagina, and into the vaginal space. 

Clinical studies have demonstrated the oral route to have more lasting and prolonged benefits than the vaginal route.

Using the vaginal route involves either using a probiotic suppository or applying probiotic yogurts directly inside your vagina. This route has its own benefits in that the effects are a lot more immediate than the oral route.

You'll be happy to know that there is no harm in using both the oral and vaginal routes at the same time, so you can get the best of both worlds.

Can You Use Probiotics With Antibiotics?

I have my reservations about the use of antibiotics in bacterial vaginosis, but in some cases it is necessary to take antibiotics.

The good news however, is that it is perfectly safe to use probiotics in conjunction with antibiotics. In fact, studies have shown that using antibiotics and probiotics together yields better, more prolonged results than just using antibiotics alone.

One thing I perhaps shouldn't tell you is that using antibiotics and probiotics together is also more effective than just using probiotics alone. But there are better, natural alternatives to antibiotics. You can use these alternatives with probiotics to give you even better results.

In the next session I'll be telling you all about one of these alternatives. This particular treatment is in many ways, superior to antibiotics and works wonders when combined with probiotics. Unlike with antibiotics, this treatment gives most women almost immediate results.

Till next time

Yours forever

Hi it's Louise again

I read a fascinating article today about the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Cleopatra. I'm sure you'll find it very interesting.

Cleopatra, wasn't the most beautiful woman of her time, and yet she managed to seduce some of the greatest men that existed at the time. Both Julius Caesar of Rome followed by his successor, Mark Antony.

Now she didn't do this by just throwing herself at these men. Nor did she improvise or leave anything to chance. She didn't just present herself to these great men and hope that they would like her.

No. As good as any good army general, Cleopatra planned and strategized, aiming at her target's particular weaknesses. This is what made her so successful at getting results.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Too many women try to treat BV with a one size fits all approach, without any planning and without any tweaking to adjust for their body's own unique responses. This is why most women are unsuccessful at curing bacterial vaginosis.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Cleopatra would first draw a man in with an alluring appearance, designing her makeup and clothing to resemble the image of a goddess come to life. She would tease a man's imagination by showing glimpses of flesh, stimulating not just the desire for sex but the desire to possess something out of a fantasy. Once she had her soon-to-be-lover's interest, she would lure him away from the world of war and politics, compelling him to spend time in a world of luxury, comfort and pleasure.

Then, just as her lover grew hooked on these refined, sensual pleasures, she would grow cold and indifferent, confusing her lover, who would then be forced into pursuit, trying anything to win back the pleasures he had once tasted and growing weak and emotional in the process. 

These powerful, great and intelligent men would inevitably find themselves becoming slaves to Cleopatra's every desire.

So what could this possibly have to do with bacterial vaginosis?

My answer to you is – more than you think.

Just as Octavia, the most beautiful woman in Rome was no match for the strategizing seductive charms of Cleopatra, the most powerful bacterial vaginosis remedy cannot match a formulated strategic plan for the treatment of BV.

Most women make the mistake of finding one or two powerful BV remedies, using these remedies however they have heard others use them, and then hoping for these remedies to work. 

These women may get some good initial relief from their symptoms, perhaps better than anything they have tried before.

But in most cases the BV just comes back, perhaps after a few months following a particularly heavy period. They will then simply use the same treatment again to ward off their symptoms for another few months. 

These women may be happy with their results, because these powerful remedies do a better job than antibiotics and DO significantly improve their quality of life. But they still haven't achieved their goal…

These women still haven't permanently cured their BV.

Your best bet at curing bacterial vaginosis permanently is to play it like Cleopatra. No, cheeky I'm not talking about seducing rich and powerful men. That's a topic for my other mini course

Every case of bacterial vaginosis is different.

Although there are some strategic treatment options that will significantly improve your chances of curing BV permanently, you will get far better results with an individualized approach. This is where you identify and address the specific cause(s) of your BV, then use different treatment regimes to find what works for you by varying the type, timing and dose of treatments.

Don't worry.

It may seem a little confusing at first, but it's really quite simple. I'll show you how it's done in following sessions.

Using this approach you may not be 100% successful at first, but soon enough you WILL find that sweet spot and your BV will never come back.

So the take-home message for today's session is as follows:

—————————————————————————————————————-

The secret to curing bacterial vaginosis permanently lies in using a strategic and individualized approach. 

—————————————————————————————————————-

Cleopatra seduced Julius Caesar by instilling in him doubts about his masculinity. She knew that beneath all his pride, Caesar was insecure. She spoke repeatedly of Alexander the Great from whom she was supposedly descended. As a result she awakened in Caesar a hunger and anxiety to prove his greatness to her.

She used a different approach with Mark Antony, the successor to Caesar in the leadership of Rome. Antony loved pleasure and spectacle. Cleopatra appeared to him first on her royal barge, then wined and dined and banqueted him. Everything was designed to suggest to him the superiority of the Egyptian way of life. Antony soon became bored of his life in Rome. He saw Cleopatra as the incarnation of all that was exciting, and was powerless in the face of her charm. It wasn't long before Antony, just like Caesar before him, became Cleopatra's slave.

There's no question that Cleopatra's use of an individualized and strategic approach to seduce these two powerful and intelligent men was many times more effective than any generic approach that a woman might use to seduce a man. 

—————————————————————————————————————-

In the same way, the most powerful and effective way to permanently get rid of bacterial vaginosis is to use a strategic and individualized treatment regime.

—————————————————————————————————————-

More about that in following sessions.

In the next session we're going to get right into the meat of things. I'll be telling you about a very concrete treatment that you can start using right now. This treatment can both relieve your symptoms now AND significantly reduce the chances of your BV ever coming back.

Till then

Dear BV Sufferer

I'm in a pleasant mood today. I just found out that I lost 3% of my body fat without putting in much effort.

I confess that I'm a bit overweight, and having sorted out my bacterial vaginosis some years ago, I'm determined to get a handle on my weight so I can add just that much more freedom to my life.

Now I haven't reached my ideal weight just yet, but I'm already able to fit into a smaller pair of jeans. I not only look great, but I feel great too.

—————————————————————————————————————-

This all got me thinking about bacterial vaginosis and how remarkably similar it is to being overweight, and albeit different at the same time.

—————————————————————————————————————-

When I had BV I was terribly self-conscious out in public, at work, with my friends and even with my husband. When you're overweight, you also tend to be self-conscious, but about the way you look rather than the way you smell. 

The way I see it, both conditions restrict you in your life and take away your freedom. But here's where it gets interesting.

The Secret To Getting Rid Of Bacterial Vaginosis

The secret to permanently getting rid of bacterial vaginosis and the secret to losing weight are one and the same: you need to find a method that works and stick to it.

I told you earlier that I lost a whole load of body fat without putting in much effort. Yup, I admit it was easy. I can eat almost anything I want and I'm never hungry. See when you use the right method, when you use something that's proven to work then it IS easy to achieve your goal.

The same applies to bacterial vaginosis. Sure it took me three years before I figured out what works, but as soon as I did, it was easy to get rid of my BV and my symptoms haven't come back since. And if that isn't good enough, I'm going to tell you something EVEN better.

Losing BV was MUCH easier for me than losing weight. See, with weight loss there is no instant gratification. You have to apply a diet and exercise regime for a good few weeks before you see any real results. But with BV it's different.

—————————————————————————————————————-

There are some BV remedies that will relieve you of your symptoms in just a few days, and others that will get rid of your symptoms almost instantly!

—————————————————————————————————————-

Although these instant remedies rarely give you permanent results when used on their own, they sure do help when used as part of a strategic BV treatment plan that WILL get rid of your BV forever.

All it takes is combining the right treatments that have been proven in clinical trials and in clinical practice to bring lasting and permanent results to hundreds of different women.

So the take-home-message from today's session is:

• Getting rid of bacterial vaginosis is EASY when you know how.

I hope you're excited about this BV mini-course, as in upcoming sessions I'll be revealing some of the most powerful bacterial vaginosis treatments. These include treatments that give immediate results and others that will give more lasting, permanent results. I will also show you how to combine these treatments to get the best of both worlds.

In the next session I'll be telling you about a new concept in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis – the individualized strategic treatment plan that gives more lasting and permanent results than any other form of treatment you've ever heard of.

More on that in my next email.

Till then

Louise Endago

When you first discover how to get rid of bacterial vaginosis naturally, you might be taken aback by the number of different options available to you.

Some of the treatments will work, others won't. Every woman is different, and where one treatment worked for me, it may not work so well for you. The treatments in this article however, are different.

Through extensive research and experimentation on how to get rid of bacterial vaginosis permanently, I have come across three different dietary tactics that ALL women with BV will benefit from.

Most dietary tactics on curing BV work by strengthening and fortifying the body's immune system. Their direct effects on BV have been demonstrated in clinical trials involving large groups of BV sufferers.

People often forget that the immune system is the body's best defense against bacterial and all other infections.

"The best chance you have of curing your bacterial vaginosis PERMANENTLY, is to equip these dietary tactics as the foundation, the roots and the backbone of all other treatments in your regime."

In my experience the women who succeed most often in getting rid of BV permanently are those who are backed up by a solid immune response built from a diet rich in key naturally immune-modifying micronutrients.

So here's an important lesson on how to get rid of bacterial vaginosis permanently – three very powerful dietary tactics that have been shown in clinical trials to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of BV:

Dietary Tactic #1: Reducing Saturated Fat And Total Fat Intake

Studies have found a very strong association between dietary fat intake and both incidence and severity of BV. The more saturated fat in your diet, the more likely you are to get BV, and the more severe your BV will be as well.

Reducing your intake of saturated fats will reduce the severity of your BV and can help to cure you of it permanently.

Saturated fat not only reduces the local immune response in and around the vagina, but it's also known to change the vaginal acidity in favor of the bad bacteria that overgrow in bacterial vaginosis.

Saturated fats include hard fats like butter, lard and ghee. They are also found in full fat milk, red meat, skin, cheese, cakes and biscuits. Cutting down on these foods should be one of the first steps you take in treating your BV.

Monounsaturated fats (found in vegetable oils such as olive oil, canola oil and tea seed oil) only have a small effect on causing BV when compared to saturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats on the other hand (found in fish fats, bananas, sunflower seeds and whole grain wheat) were shown to have no significant effects on increasing the incidence of BV.

So the bottom line here is to avoid SATURATED fats in particular. Studies have indeed shown a reduction in saturated fat consumption to be associated with a reduced incidence AND severity of bacterial vaginal infections.

So to get started, you can either cut down on all fats in your diet, or you could replace all your saturated fats with monounsaturated or even better – polyunsaturated fats.

Dietary Tactic #2: Increasing Vitamin E Intake

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that is known to fortify the immune system. It is commonly accepted that people on vitamin E supplements have a lower infection rate than people who are not.

Are you getting enough vitamin E in your diet? This micronutrient has been found to have a strong association with BV. Increasing your intake can help you to cure BV.

Vitamin E also has a number of other benefits, such as prolonging your lifespan by reducing your risk of heart attacks and stroke.

In theory there are a number of different nutrients that can help with curing bacterial vaginosis, including vitamins A, C and E, iron and zinc. But of the five I have mentioned, recent studies have only shown vitamin E to have a significant association with bacterial vaginosis in women.

In these studies, vitamins A and C, iron and zinc either have an insignificant effect on the symptoms of BV, or their effects are far less pronounced than that of vitamin E.

"Women with low vitamin E intake have been found to be more likely to have BV. The lower the intake, the more severe the bacterial vaginosis symptoms."

The evidence on this is quite recent, so you won't find many guides on how to get rid of bacterial vaginosis that discuss this micronutrient as a possible bacterial vaginosis cure.

The recommended daily allowance of vitamin E is 22 international units (IU) per day. The upper limit is 1,000 IU per day.

Here are some good sources of vitamin E:

• Almonds, 1 oz = 11 IU
• Sunflower seeds, 1 oz = 9 IU
• Safflower oil, 1 tbsp = 7 IU
• Hazelnuts, 1 oz = 6 IU

You also get vitamin E in kiwi, avocado, broccoli and in greens such as spinach, kale, collards and bok choy.

You can also take vitamin E supplements, though I prefer that you boost your vitamin E levels by increasing your consumption of the above and other foods rich in vitamin E. It is always safer to increase a particular micronutrient by taking whole foods rather than supplements.

But if you insist on taking supplements, I suggest you take a maximum of 250 IU of vitamin E per day, preferably 100 IU per day. Always consult your doctor before taking supplements.

Dietary Tactic #3: Increasing Folate (Folic Acid) Intake

Folate is a very important nutrient that is quite commonly deficient in the modern diet. It has many important benefits beyond bacterial vaginosis.

Breakfast cereals in many countries around the world are fortified with folic acid. Increasing your folate intake will help you in many ways as well as helping you to cure your BV.

High dietary intake of folate is known to reduce the incidence of cancer and heart disease. Pregnant women are advised to take folate supplements to avoid neurological defects in the unborn child.

The importance of folate has been recognized globally, and governments around the world (including in the US) have made recommendations that certain common foods such as flour and cereals be fortified with folic acid, to reduce the incidence of folate deficiency.

Folic acid also plays an important role in strengthening the immune system. Studies have shown that women with low folate levels are more likely to suffer from BV.

While learning about how to get rid of bacterial vaginosis, you may have already come across the use of folic acid tablets as a natural remedy. Folic acid tablets have actually been found to be very effective at treating BV, especially when combined with other natural methods.

But you don't have to take tablets when folic acid is readily available in certain foods. Plus you only need a small increase in blood folate levels to cause a significant boost in the body's immune response.

Here are some good sources of folate:

Breakfast cereals (fortified with folic acid in the US and other countries), black-eyed peas, spinach, great northern beans, asparagus, green peas, beef liver, broccoli, and avocado.

The recommended daily allowance for folate is 400 micrograms per day for women over the age of 14, 600 micrograms per day if you are pregnant, and 500 micrograms per day if you are breast-feeding.

If you do prefer to take supplements there's no harm in it. Folic acid supplements are thought to be quite safe, although you should refrain from taking more than 1,000 micrograms per day.

One added benefit to supplementation is when you use it in the short-term when treating bacterial vaginosis. I find that taking an increased dose of 800 micrograms of folic acid per day helps to give the immune system that extra boost it needs to get rid of all that excess bacteria in the vagina.

So Just To Conclude And Summarize…

Your immune system plays a huge role in your vaginal health. Whether or not your BV was caused by a weakened immune system, strengthening your immune system through dietary tactics will most certainly aid you on your quest to get rid of your BV permanently.

Unfortunately most women who are learning how to get rid of bacterial vaginosis naturally forget about the immune system altogether and focus only on symptomatic relief from various douches, probiotics and natural bactericidal agents.

My advise to you is work on the immune system first, and add in the other treatments to get the most long term and permanent results.

So go ahead and reduce your saturated fat intake, increase your dietary vitamin E and folate intake and you'll get a huge boost in your chances of curing your bacterial vaginosis permanently.

Bacterial vaginosis can be a real pain to get rid of. It's one of those conditions that tend to become a part of your life as soon as you're diagnosed with it. But that's not what we want.

Whether you are taking antibiotics or using natural bacterial vaginosis cures, you'll find that most women never really manage to get rid of their BV permanently.

Now don't get me wrong. Some natural bacterial vaginosis cures are very powerful and really do work better than antibiotics in helping women to get on top of their BV. But I keep seeing women time and time again, who have to keep a stash of suppositories in the fridge, just in case they feel their symptoms starting up again.

But wouldn't you rather just treat it and forget about it?

Wouldn't you rather there was a magic pill that would get rid of your BV once and for all so you would never have to worry about it again?

When I find this magic pill, I promise you'll be the first one to know. But right now, I do have the next best thing for you, which is a completely different way of approaching the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, an approach that has been shown to really bring lasting change for many a woman before you.

See, there's one reason why most women fail miserably with natural bacterial vaginosis cures. And this is that most women are using the wrong MODEL of treatment. What do I mean by this?

Instead of focusing on the root cause of BV, women tend to focus on just alleviating the symptoms. There's a reason why there is a bacterial overgrowth inside your vagina, so just killing the overgrowth is not addressing that reason, it's not addressing the cause of your BV.

This is regardless of whether you are using antibiotics or natural bacterial vaginosis cures such as garlic and tea tree oil.

For as long as you have not addressed the cause of your BV, your BV will always be likely to come back.

How Do You Identify The Cause Of Your BV?

Every case of BV is different. There are a huge list of different possible causes of BV, and it's up to you to find out which of these possible causes is responsible for giving YOU BV.

Once you have found the cause, you need to address the cause by eliminating it, and then follow up with a powerful treatment regime that combines an initial bactericidal element, followed by a flora-replenishment regime.

Here are some common causes of bacterial vaginosis:

1. Regular douching

Do you clean down below because it makes you feel fresh? This is very common practice in some cultures, and it turns out that women from these same cultures are known to suffer from BV more than anyone else.

Although some bacterial vaginosis cures involve using specific douches, regular douching is never recommended, as it upsets the good bacteria and damages the subtle chemical balance inside your vagina.

2. A weakened immune system

When your immune system is weak, it can no longer help defend against the bad bacteria inside your vagina. A weak immune system can result from certain medical conditions. It can also result from stress, lack of sleep and certain dietary deficiencies.

Some of these factors may seem trivial, but they are very important. Scientific studies have indeed shown that BV is far more prevalent among women who have to put up with high levels of stress.

3. Diet composition

Diet can play a huge role in bacterial vaginosis. Not just through modulating your immune system, but from other both direct and indirect effects it has on your vagina. Did you know for example that women who have a high dietary fat intake are more likely to get BV?

Find out which dietary habit is causing YOU to have BV and change it, so you can make sure that after your next treatment, your BV will NOT come back.

4. Having unprotected sex

Anything that reduces the natural acidity of the vagina can very easily result in BV. Since semen is alkaline in nature (the opposite of acidic), it can quite easily cause BV. This is exactly why your symptoms are usually at their worst just after sex.

5. Heavy or prolonged periods

The blood from your periods upsets the healthy acidity of the vagina. BV symptoms are quite commonly at their worst during or just after a woman's period. For this reason, it's quite common for women to regularly use antibiotics or natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis at that time of the month.

Women who have prolonged periods are more likely to get BV. So if your periods are particularly heavy or tend to go on a bit, be sure to go and see your doctor about it. As well as seeing your doctor you can also look into natural remedies that help in this field.

The Most Important Step To Making Bacterial Vaginosis Cures Work

So I really can't stress this enough. The first and most important thing you must do if you want to get rid of your bacterial vaginosis permanently, is to find the root cause of your BV. It can be the smallest little dietary deficiency that you weren't even aware of, but you must find it and fix it.

A lot of women have found that this is the only step they need to take, and their bacterial vaginosis just went away by itself over time.

You can also take things a step further, especially if you want to be rid of your symptoms right now by adding in powerful bacterial vaginosis cures that are known to give immediate results in alleviating the symptoms of BV.

Most women who use natural methods in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, do NOT succeed.

If you have tried a natural remedy before you may have gotten some benefit from using it. Heck you might even have been quite impressed by the results. 

But can you honestly say that after one course of this natural remedy your bacterial vaginosis was gone forever and you never had to worry about BV again?

Isn't that your goal? Shouldn't you be searching for that treatment that will end your BV worries for good? 

Well the truth is that although it IS possible to cure your BV permanently, there is no such thing as one single natural remedy that will do the job all by itself.

The secret lies in using a systematic approach, which involves making small lifestyle changes and using a combination of different natural remedies, with one remedy having a different mode of action from the other.

Yet I see women taking the wrong approach all the time. They'll come across a natural BV remedy that takes the edge off their BV for a few days or even for a few weeks. 

Women will swear by these treatments, even though they have to keep using them on a regular basis to keep their BV away. They haven't achieved what they set out to achieve in the first place – a permanent treatment of bacterial vaginosis, one that will get rid of BV once and for all so they never have to worry about BV again.

The good news is when you DO take the effort to really learn about the methods that work, you CAN treat your bacterial vaginosis permanently, so BV does NOT become a part of your life and you can finally put it all behind you.

The permanent treatment of bacterial vaginosis in 3 simple steps

Step #1: Identify And Address The Cause

This is a crucial step that a lot of women miss out on. Why is it that you are affected by BV now but you weren't before? 

The truth is that your BV was caused by a specific change in your body. This change can be extremely subtle, like a small chemical imbalance caused by a very specific nutritional deficiency.

The permanent treatment of bacterial vaginosis requires that you first identify the root cause of your BV and address this cause. 

It doesn't matter what treatment you go on to use, if you haven't addressed the root cause of your BV, then your symptoms will always come back.

The list of possible causes for BV is almost endless. Here are a list of the more common causes:

1. Douching

This is a very common cause of BV. Regular douching upsets the vaginal flora and damages the natural chemical balance inside the vagina.

You may be aware that douching can be used in treating bacterial vaginosis, but there's a way and a method of doing this, that involves using a short-course therapy with specific natural chemicals, rather than regular douching using soaps or antibacterials.

2. A weakening of the immune system

This can be caused by medical conditions such as HIV or even the common cold. It can also result from something as seemingly small as stress, lack of sleep or dietary deficiencies (very common).

3. Diet composition

Did you know that BV is far more common in women with a high dietary fat intake? There are a whole range of different dietary practices that can leave you prone to BV, and yet other dietary practices that can even help cure BV.

4. Unprotected sex, especially with multiple partners

Semen is alkaline in nature, while the normal healthy vagina is acidic. Semen hence changes the vaginal environment in a way that causes good bacteria to die and bad bacteria to thrive, hence resulting in BV.

This is why the symptoms of BV are usually at their worst just after sex.

Step #2: Kill The Overgrown Bacteria

If you do just step #1 and eliminate the cause, over time your bacterial vaginosis is likely to go away on its own. But if you don't want to wait, and you want to be as sure as you possibly can that your BV will go away, then another action step is necessary.

There are a number of different ways you can get rid of the overgrown vaginal bacteria in BV. These include using antibiotics from your doctor, natural bactericidal agents such as garlic and tea tree oil, acidifying agents and different types of douches.

One method I recommend is using a hydrogen peroxide douche. Hydrogen peroxide is a substance that is naturally present in every healthy vagina. It is normally produced by a strain of good bacteria inside your vagina.

The reason hydrogen peroxide is so effective in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, is that unlike antibiotics, it does not kill the good bacteria, but only kills the bad bacteria inside your vagina. Most women who use hydrogen peroxide report almost immediate results, with fishy smells disappearing within seconds!

But don't fall into the trap of using hydrogen peroxide on its own. If you don't use it in combination with step#1 and step#3 to follow, this method is unlikely to give you lasting results.

Step #3: Replace The Good Lactobacilli Bacteria Inside Your Vagina

After you have cleared the vagina out of all the bad bacteria, you need to help the vagina in replacing all the lost good bacteria. It is the good bacteria, (called 'lactobacilli') that police the vagina by releasing good chemicals to keep the bad bacteria in check. These little guys are responsible for keeping the vagina in a balanced state of healthy equilibrium.

For this I suggest you either take acidophilus pills or yogurts containing live strains of good bacteria. You can either take these orally or apply them directly inside the vagina.

Scientific studies on the treatment of bacterial vaginosis involving large groups of women have found that the oral route gives more lasting and long term results. The direct vaginal approach on the other hand, produces results quicker than the oral route. You can try one or the other, and there is no harm in using both approaches at the same time.

So just to summarize and conclude…

Too many women use just step #2 or step #3 on its own and hope that their BV will go away. Those who combine step #2 with step #3 see far better results, but without adding step #1 into the mix by identifying and addressing all the possible causes of their BV, then their symptoms will always eventually return.

The above steps used together in the right way will significantly improve your chances of getting rid of your BV permanently. To find out how to apply these steps in detail, click the following link to visit Home Remedies for Bacterial Vaginosis:

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection, so it's no surprise that there are hundreds of different bacterial vaginosis remedies out there for you to try.

But having too many options is a problem in itself. You obviously want the one treatment that will give you the best results. But unfortunately different treatments work differently for different women, so it helps to know a handful of the best treatments that other women have tried and tested FOR you.

Another thing you ought to keep in mind is that one treatment alone usually just doesn't cut it, especially if you have had bacterial vaginosis for a while. Your best bet is to use a combination of different bacterial vaginosis remedies, each remedy supplementing the other through a different mode of action. 

So in this article I'll be telling you about 3 different bacterial vaginosis remedies that you should be using together in COMBINATION. And this isn't any old random combination, it's one that REAL WOMEN have used time and time again with an excellent rate of success.

So here's your list of…

3 Popular Bacterial Vaginosis Remedies You Can Start Using Today

BV Remedy #1: Hydrogen Peroxide

This is a very powerful treatment indeed. Hydrogen peroxide is a substance that is naturally present inside every healthy vagina. Good bacteria inside your vagina naturally produce hydrogen peroxide in order to kill off the bad bacteria. For this reason, hydrogen peroxide is one of the few bactericidal remedies that kills ONLY the bad bacteria and leaves the good ones alone. That's why hydrogen peroxide is so effective. 

Use 1/4 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide with 1/4 cup of water (preferably distilled water). Apply as a douche 1 to 2 times per day, for 3 days (maximum 5 days). This will give you IMMEDIATE relief from the bad smells and excess vaginal discharge.

As effective as hydrogen peroxide is in the immediate sense, its effects don't last very long for most women, not when you use it on its own. That's where the folic acid and acidophilus comes in.

BV Remedy #2: Acidophilus

One strain of good bacteria inside your vagina is called lactobacillus acidophilus. You can take acidophilus tablets to increase the number of good bacteria inside your vagina. If you don't like tablets, you can also take natural unpasteurized yogurts that contain live strains of acidophilus bacteria.

Once the hydrogen peroxide has killed off the bad bacteria, you can take acidophilus to help replenish the colony of good bacteria inside your vagina. These good bacteria will then release more hydrogen peroxide naturally, and other chemicals such as lactic acid, which kill off more of the bad bacteria and prevent them from growing back.

Acidophilus doesn't work very well on its own, because it isn't very good at killing off the overgrown bad bacteria that you get in bacterial vaginosis. But when used in combination with hydrogen peroxide, its effects have been shown to be extremely powerful.

Acidophilus tablets and yogurts can be used both orally and vaginally. Studies have shown the oral route to provide longer lasting results, whereas the vaginal route produces more immediate results.

The Oral Route…

Take 2-3 acidophilus pills orally for at least 1 month. Or take 150ml natural unpasteurized yogurt containing live acidophilus twice daily for at least 1 month.

The Vaginal Route…

Insert one vaginal acidophilus suppository AFTER each hydrogen peroxide douche. Or apply unpasteurized yogurt containing live acidophilus bacteria liberally inside your vagina using an applicator or spoon. Do this at night AFTER your hydrogen peroxide douche, and be sure to wear a non-deodorized pad to avoid soiling your underwear. The vaginal route is to be used for no longer than 7 consecutive days.

BV Remedy #3: Folic Acid

Folic acid is the icing on the cake here. It uses a whole different approach and is thought to help cure BV by modulating and strengthening the immune system. Sure, it CAN be used on its own to help cure BV, but it is best used in combination with other more direct bacterial vaginosis remedies like the two mentioned above.

A number of scientific studies have demonstrated that women who take folic acid, or have a high intake of folate in their diet, are far less likely to get bacterial vaginosis. The exact mode of action of folic acid is uncertain, but it can certainly be attributed at least partially to the effect it has on strengthening your immune system.

I advise you to take 800 micrograms in 2 divided doses every day. So that's 400 micrograms twice a day. The recommended daily allowance for non-pregnant women is 400 micrograms per day, but I have found that taking a higher dose helps in the short term for boosting the immune system to help cure BV. And don't worry, it's perfectly safe to take 800 micrograms per day. The extra-cautious, safe upper limit is 1,000 micrograms per day.

Women who take these 3 bacterial vaginosis remedies – hydrogen peroxide, acidophilus and folic acid in combination have been found to permanently cure their BV far more often than when they use any one or two of the treatments alone.

So why not get started today? If you have been suffering from BV, then you owe it to yourself to take action right now. click the following link to visit Home Remedies for Bacterial Vaginosis:
