I must start by saying...I love your site. I am 31 and this is the first time that I have ever had BV. I went out as soon as I read all of the messages and got everything I needed, folic acid,acidophilus, and hydrogen peroxide. So far so good it started working immediately.I do have a question. How often do I use the douch? Weekly, Monthly, or just daily till it is gone?

Hi, My name is Amanda. Yesterday I noticed that smell again. It happens all the time, maybe once every month and a half. I went to the doctor's and they had giving me Metro-Gel. It worked great, but it always came back. Sometime I felt like maybe the metro was causing a yeast, or vice-versa. It was either one or the other. They say that washing your v-gina with soup can cause BV.. and I think that was my problem. I just can't help myself. Well I'm in a new relationship, and it will be very embarrassing if he had smelled what I smelled.
Last night, I was going out on a date with him, but I knew that I needed metro-gel. I called the dr but I would need to come in and get checked out so that they can prescribe something to me. That was too much work, needless to say I had a date. So I read the reviews on here, at first I was scared to do it. But I went to the pharmacy right after work, and purchased Folic Acid 400 Mcg ( I took 2, equaling 800 MCG), I also purchased Acidophilus pills ( took 2), and Hydrogen Peroxide everything for less than 10$. I then went home and poured about half a cup of Hydrogen Peroxide into a regular douche bottle and then filled up the rest with equal amount of water. Now, today, there's still no signs of Bv. I took the vitamins once again today (one of each), but no douching. Thank you Earth Clinic.. you guys are awesome. This was my first time using you guys, but def not my last.

All I can say is WOW!! and this is great. I cant believe I finally found something that seems promising. I get bv what seems to be pretty easily, mostly sometimes after sex a few days I will start noticing the fishy smell.I HATE it :( When I go to the Dr. they give me medicine which does work but they give it to me in faith because it hardly ever shows up on tests. Plus going to the Dr. often isnt fun. Starting last night I took 800mcg of Folic Acid, and 2 500million Acidophilus. Just like Ive read here.. almost immediate improvement. I took the same dosage again with lunch and I cant smell anything!! I knew there had to be a more natual cure for this, Ive tried many things that didnt work from ACV to tea tree oil to Garlic. Im only 25 im ready to be done with this. Im planning on trying the 50/50 peroxide 3% & water also tonight just to see if it clears me out some & then maybe after sex too..and keeping on the pills for a while then cutting back some. Thank you to this site and all the women here that posted. Good luck to you all! Vickie

I want to thank everyone who posted such great comments about this remedie. i am 22 yrs old and have dealt with bv since i was 16 on and off. i cannot count the amount of times i have been put on perscriptions that cure it but usually leave me with a yeast infection its always been a battle until now. i took 800mg of folic acid once a day for 2 days and douced with 1/2 hydrogen proxide 3% and 1/2 water i really didnt think that it was going to work. But within a few hours it was gone. I thought that it was only going to be temporary and that the next day it would reapear but it is now day 3 and everything it peachy no sigh of it.. i cannot thank everyone enough this has been a life saver..

I have suffered with BV for 5 yrs.I have been back and forth to the dr.sending hundreds and hundred of dollars for prescriptions from my dr. I finally decided to look on the internet for a cure because the meds never worked for long. I ran across this site and saw the rave reviews for the folic acid and acidopolous pills as well as the hydrogen peroxide. I ran to the drug store and purchased them yesterday morning. By noon the smell was completely gone and the discharge was too. I will continue this regimen and hopefully it will not return. I am just happy I didnt spend 80.00 on another prescription that doesnt work.Thank You ladies I finally feel and smell clean ..Thank You :)

Suffered from BV for MANY years now; tried EVERYTHING from the doctors over the years & found this site 2 days ago. Bought acidophilus, hydrogen peroxide, & prenatel vitamins for the folic acid. (Around here anything over 1 MG is RX; the vitamins have 800 MCG'S in them.) Do you ladies need a rx for the FOLIC ACID?

I douched with the hydrogen peroxide (2 part HP, 1 part water) & it burned good for about 30 SECONDS but definately worth it.) Am I supposed to do this weekly?)

2 billion active cultures in these acidophilus pills. (I'll update on progress as weeks go by.)

Total time I've been suffering with this: 16 years :-(

I'm glad you ladies shared your stories, cures... FYI: gargle with a little bit of peroxide before brushing your teeth. It is a miracle whitener. The ONLY reason I was brave enough to try this is because I DO gargle with it however it NEVER burned my mouth.)

Any feedback would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks again for all of you just being here!

I STARTED GETTING BV EVER SINCE I HAD MY SON, ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO, NOT TO MENTION HAVING YEAST INFECTIONS BACK TO BACK WHILE I WAS PREGNANT. I EVENTUALLY GOT SO TIRED OF THE YUCKIE MEDS THE GYN WOULD PRESCRIBE SO I FINALLY CAME ACROSS THIS SITE, AND ITS HELPFUL. I DID HALF PEROXIDE AND WATER DOUCHE FOR TWO DAYS AND I TAKE (3) 800MCG TWICE A DAY, AND ITS BEEN A WEEK AND IM CLEAN FRESH AND NO BV NOR ANY YEAST INFECTIONS.

Let me first say that I am beyond happy I found this page. I have SUFFERED with BV for 20 years now and I was just about to settle into acceptance. I have cried, tried every cream, pill, gel there is!! I did the peroxide douche for one night. I have been taking 800mg of folic acid (I had it really bad) and the probotics twice a day. This is the third day and the smell is GONE!!! The itch is GONE!!! The discharge is 95% GONE!!! Let the church say AMEN!!!!!

Thank you all for sharing your stories and your methods. I will shout this from the mountain tops from now on. I'm thinking about calling the doctor who told me that I had to learn how to live with BV because nothing could be done. So many women need to know that 30 dollars can cure you for a life time. I plan on taking the folic acid until the day I die.

You ladies are the BOMB!!!
