1) Hydrogen Peroxide and water solution (half and half) 2x a day for 2-3 days.
2) Daily soaks in boric acid, baking soda, with lavender, and tea tree drops.
2)I inserted a garlic clove into the vagina at night before bed, remove in morning.
Evey one is different, and I tried many remedies, this is what workd for me.
Good luck ladies.
I did this for a week.

i say 'treatments' because I had been in a sexual relationship for a year where my male partner was repeatedly reinfecting me due to his own denial and lack of responsibility and even down right manipulation to get sex. So, be sure to address the nature of your relationship. A horny, careless man isn't worth damage to ovaries and overall loss of sensitivity. Sex has not been the same since and I am abstaining until fully healed and a more honest, communicative, understanding man enters my life. Anyway, hopefully the knowledge I've gained from my experience can help someone else. And if there is a man who has achieved cures through natural methods, plz plz post on the BV male link because technique and treatment knowledge for men is needed
here are some suggestions to apply to your own experimentation:
if you are experiencing discomfort right now, put this down and go flush the vagina with warm water and then come back to this with a clearer mind. Lie on your back and pour water into yourself anyway you can. Repeat until the water runs clear.
Water flushes, I am convinced, are the most important go-to to gage how the healing is coming along. Do not expect results overnight, though that could happen depending on your individual condition. If the infection doesn't clear after a 2/3 days of water flushes, you know its time for another treatment
I use a large plastic syringe bought in the kitchenware section of the dollar store.
First, flush vagina of any discharge. Then put 1 capful of HP in with purified water (if you have it), lay on your back and let it sit for at least 5 min, or longer if the infection is in your ovaries. In that case, you might even want to repeat with another capful + water. One treatment was enough to at least get rid of the horrid fishy smell
if you require another treatment, try next a few spoonfuls of the best, purest, probiotic plain yogurt you can buy. Dilute it with water and let it sit 5-10 min. I suppose acidophilus would work too, but I never tried it. Flush out yogurt with water
if you find that your BV has now uncovered symptoms of a yeast infection, insert a clove of garlic and let sit overnight.
If symptoms are reoccurring, repeat the cycle of treatments with regular water flushes. HP is very strong, so I recommend no more than 2 capfuls per treatment and after a period of water flushes, replenish good bacteria with yogurt. But you must learn what works for you as ever body is different! In my case, ACV did not work
Unfortunately, I cant remember which treatment finally cleared the infection from my ovaries but I think it was the colloidal silver. At this point, I was motivated by shear frustration from re-infection and an emotionally/physically unhealthy sexual relationship and not thinking too clearly, so details are missing. But I would suggest for anyone really suffering and the above mentioned treatments not working to try 1 capful of CS. I used 2 and thought that might have been too much, but perhaps it wasn't
ok, well I hope this helps! Be sure to cleanse the body with healthy foods as well. I eat LOTS OF YOGURT. it works wonders. and remember, most importantly, the importance of creating harmonious and hopefully loving sexual relationships! Blessings!

Then one day the garlic pills turned on me lol... It made me smell super cheesy... So I backed off of the garlic pills. And started the half peroxide half distill water douches! And took 3 800mg folic acid pills. Some days I would take 2 some days 3....anyways yall I couldn't stop sticking a q-tip into my vagina every day for a smell check and it has been ordorless for 20 days...
Also I did drink Kefir for like 2weeks and it worked as well. I just actually started the acidophilus pills. I had a very bad sore throat and I got prescribed some antibiotics ...of course my period came on ...of course I got a yeast infection from the antibiotics! But I never stopped taking my folic acid pills.. Still no scent! My period felt normal too no extra ordors.... But I mixed crushed acidophilus pills with peroxide and the distilled water tonight, just in case BV tries to reresurface. I will also start taking an acidophilus pill in the am and pm along with the folic acid.
But in all honesty I feel good and I smell like nothing dead lol.... I just had to come back on here and say that the combos do work. And I thank God⤠btw my husband can't keep his hands off of me! Ladies you are not alone! Be honest with yourself and drop the bad stuff out of your diet.... Drink plenty of water too. I hope this gives someone a peace of mind. Im glad God helped me find this site! Sorry it's so long! If anyone has any questions please ask away! Have a blessed dayâ¤

My question is how long to keep up with this? I was thinking 7 days. Also wondering what preventative measure should be taken after the treatment considering I actually get rid of this. I don't want it to come back. It has ruined me mentally and sex has been embarrassing plenty of times...although no complaints, it bothers me. If this works I literally will cry happy tears.
So, maintenance? And how do you deal with periods as this has been a trigger for me also. I want to be able to have unprotected sex with my partner freely with out the worry of waking up to this awful situation like we used to. Also I use a PH balanced feminine wash. Input would be appreciated. And I will post updates. Thank you :)

I have an appointment w/ a vaginal imbalance specialist in the summer( yes 3 months way) that I can see myself cancelling, that's how optimistic I feel w/ the results I just got.
ps: 1st time writing a review only because I know it really works and I absolutely love the results.

The hydrogen peroxide douche is excellent. I used 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 bottled water. After the first cleaning, the odor was drastically reduced and so was the discharge. After three douch treatments and daily doses of acidophulus and folic acid tablets, it is now 5 days later and I am finally good. These treatments worked much faster and better than the antibiotics. ( And the douche provided an extra bonus because I feel clean. ) The douche did not burn when I used it. I also slept without panties so that that area could get air and I would wear cotton panties only to assist with that area getting air during the day. I also bathe that area with an antibacterial soap. Thank you all so much for sharing. I feel like a brand new woman!

I researched BV online and found otherwise. Also after reading the insert on the antibiotics, I found the side effects and warnings are that it may cause C-dif and other problems related to wiping out all the bad bacteria- What the heck?? How could doctors SERIOUSLY be treating people with bacterial related infections with this crap?? You would think with all the research and technology we have, aside from the dozens of testimonies women have written online, they would have figured it out by now!! (I also have mild c-dif, which I also presume is from lack of lactose and anti-biotics destroying my good bacteria. ) My mom, an RN for over 20 years suggested an apple cider vinegar douche, but I had been told by doctors for years douches are a no-no. Anyway, I took a round of antibiotics and it went away for a couple of weeks. Now the BV is back with vengeance, preventing me from having sex with my boyfriend---the pain and discomfort are unbearable with bleeding after sex, and constantly smelling like a nasty gym bag!!! I have been looking online for natural remedies--could only find those websites trying to sell A BOOK FOR $30-60--- again, ARE YOU SERIOUS??!
When I found this site, it was an AH-HA moment for me. I am so glad women are finding the lacto capsules with folic acid, B vitamins and H202 douches are effective. I am going out right now to buy some and keep my fingers crossed! I am also interested to hear that women have found avoiding sugar and gluten beneficial. I also suffer from endometriosis and have been trying to follow the "endometriosis diet" to keep it under wraps. It seems there are general guidelines for overall health that come from a simple diet and natural supplements along with regular exercise, sleep, and stress management that our healthcare providers do not emphasize enough and instead skip over to prescribe harmful pharmaceuticals--some are even being manufactured in China!! God knows what is actually in our medications these days.

AM - Take 1 acidophilus and 1 folic acid orally and douche with solution of 1/2 Hydrogen Perox. & 1/2 water. Noon - Take 1 acidophilus orally
Evening - Take 1 acidophilus & 1 Folic Acid orally. Douche with same mixture as AM. Insert 1 acidophilus vaginally (after douching)
If you want to add an extra Acidophilus vaginally at noon, it couldn't hurt. By week three I cut the douching to once a day and continued the oral regimen. By week four, I quit using the peroxide douches but continued with the supplements. I have not had any symptoms of BV for 3 weeks. If anything changes, I'll submit an update.

(2) acidophilus capsules by mouth
folic acid 800 mcg by mouth
B12 500 mcg by mouth
For 3-5 days at bedtime, I douched vaginally with full strength Hyrogen peroxide mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil. This was very refreshing and helped with the uncomfortable feeling.
The next night at bedtime, I inserted a tampon covered in plain yogurt and I cut open one of my acidophilus capsules and sprinkled the powder on the yogurt (I also cut down the size of the small tampon once it expanded from the yogurt).
I only used the yogurt tampon 1 time and within 4 days, the smell was completely gone and no uncomfortable pain....I feel great! I still take the pills everyday, but have cut down to 1 acidophilus capsule a day. I will keep you posted if things change...but so far so good! Thanks to everyone for all of their helpful posts:)

I am 37 and have been suffering with chronic BV infections since June of 2007. Unbeknownst to me at the time my husband was having an affair with a women that I later have found out was messing around with a few other men as well. ( Yeah I know noce right?) I was back and forth to the doctor with one RX after another.. it would clean up for about a week maybe two.. then back again.. nothing worked. I have spent many hours searching the internet for an answer and was relieved that I am not alone in my suffering. I was beginning to think it was all me. I even changed doctors, my new doctor is a woman, she has worked with me on trying to find something that will work for me. She has been wonderful in being able to call in meds for me so that I did not have to be seen for what I already knew I had. My husband was busted out a few months after this all started, and we have worked hard to get past that... he says he is not messing around with anyone ever again.. ( yeah okay... I am suppose to believe that?) I had started putting a few things together even keeping a food journal as my doctor suggested. I am a type 2 diabetic but I do not take meds for that as of yet. I noticed that when my urine smells like Sweetened Puffed Wheat Cereal I can bet for certain that BV is about to creep in.. and sure enough... the dischange, the smell and the sore tender insides. So, it was suggested that I cut out certain things in my diet that made my sugar get all outta whack. Sodas, milk chocolate, caffein, sugar in general, alcohol... so I did that. and it does help at times.. it seems like I get a mild case of BV . Then one day.. POW... it just started coming back... and I was pulling my hair out... nothing was working that I had been doing.... so after coming across this site I set out on a mission... I went to the drug store and purchased ditilled water and hydrogen peroxide and a pack of vinegar water douches, one bottle of 400mcg folic acid tablets, and acidophillus____ that contain 1 billion CFU ___.
I emptied the vinegar water douche solution and added hydrogen peroxide and distiled water 1:1 used that first, then took two of the folic acid tablets and one of the acidopholus later that night before bed I took another folic acid tablet and another acidopholus. By morning I felt wonderful, no smell, no discharge, no bloated feeling, no tender feeling.. Ah Hah... I was on to something... so that morning I took two more folic acid tablets and one acidopholus ____... no douche this day.. was going to ride it out and see what happened. I have been doing this daily for going on 3 months now, and just had a couple times that I had to use the douche again up until recently... I have gone back to drinking sodas, and my sugar is outta control and it seems that the BV is harder to control with the methode that I have described here. Keep in mind that it is mild, nothing like before, so I am continuing with the folic acid and the acidopholus pearls. I have cut out the sodas once again.
The things that I noticed that have caused my BV to occur....
1. stress
2. uncontroled blood glucose levels
3. sex with my husband can sometimes trigger a lot of that depends on his diet as well.
4. weight... I have put on 30 of the 50 pounds that I had lost last year.
control of stress, and blood sugar, along with weight loss help out a lot to keep BV in check, the pills mentioned above do the rest of the job.
I am going back to my gyn next month for a folow up exam for an abnormal pap, and copolscopy, where it was also determined that I had HPV. ( and not the one that causes warts, I have the kind that is known to turn into cancer.)
I will report back with what my gyno tells me at that visit. And will see what she has to say about what I have been using to control my BV.
Please continue to see your gyno regularly for preventative messures, and continue to network and take charge of your own bodies to control BV and other nastiness in your lives. Natural medicine is a good thing.... thank you to all those that were brave enough to give it a try so that the rest of us could be made aware of your success, and incorporate it into our own plan of treatment. Not everything works for everybody, but do your research on whatever it is that you are going to try. Pay particular attention to the other good things that Folic acid can do for you... more than you know... it shocked me... and has done more for me than just help control my BV
Happy2WearDresses (Brooklyn, NY) on 04/24/2009:
This worked!! I am SOO happy and still in disbelief. I never even wanted to wear a dress or stand near people, or sit down cuz I swore you could smell me a mile away. My mom would say "what is that smell," so I'd go and change into the extra clothes and undwerwear I brought with me. THANKU THANKU THANK U!!!!! So far its been 3 days, and I'm praying it keeps up. THe BEST!
No More Fishy!! (Ft. Worth, Texas) on 04/05/2009:
Here is my own version of the treatment per the other ladies' suggestions:
800mg Folic Acid, twice daily.
A 3% peroxide-soaked tampon inserted every evening for about an hour while lying down.
Acidophillus (the refrigerated kind) - three 135mg tablets at least twice daily.
I've been doing this for a week and it seems to be working. Last night was the first time I didn't sound like a soda pop fizzing "down there" from all that gunk the peroxide soaked tampon was attacking. I took the tampon out and it was CLEAN. No gunk or anything stuck to it. I have some minimal drainage but no smell, and I feel comfortable most of the time. I'm going to ease off of the peroxide for the next few days but keep up the pills.
This website is really awesome - I'm so glad I found it. Y'all need to keep up the re-posting because I need to know if this works long term or if I need to tweak it. I'll definitely re-post if I come up with anything new. I thank God for all of you and for Earth Clinic!!!
Stacie (Wilmington, Delaware) on 01/02/2009:
After reading the stories I decided to give it a try. One night at about 7pm I emptied a summer's eve douch bottle, filled it with 50% H202 and 50% water. Inserted into my vagina and held for 30sec. I took 2 folic Acid pills (400mcg) along w/2 Acidophilus pills by mouth. By morning the smell was gone. I did this for three days straight. The smell stayed away for about 7 days and then it came back. So I repeated the steps, only this time I inserted 2 Acidophilus pills (pill form) into my vagina immediately after douching. I douched for 3 days straight. I stopped douching but continued to take pills by mouth. It's been about 4 weeks and I havent had a problem since. Hopefully I am cured. I continue to take the pills by mouth. I will give an update in 1 month.

Confused (New York, NY) on 11/18/2008:
Worked Temporarily
When I first did this I would do the douche 3 days in a row and then stop for a while but then it would come back a week or maybe 10 days later if I was lucky -sometimes worse, sometimes just the same. I felt that was too many times to do it in a row (I tried to listen to my body) so I only started doing the douche when I felt another round of stickyness come back and when I started to smell myself again.... But this time around it just doesn't seem to disappear?? I have done 3 douches so far (once a day) and I have been doing the pils for at least 10 days.. Is it possible that your body will also grow resistant to this method.... PLEASE if anyone knows what to do, I am desperate...
Ms. Sick and Tired (Columbus, Ohio) on 10/24/2008:
Worked Temporarily
So desperately I googled Cure for BV and stumbled across this website.
I first did the hydrogen peroxide douche which only worked temp. for two days by itself, I then went and purchased the 2 billion live cell acidphilus and 800mg folic acid. I douched again by putting two opened capsules (freeze dried) acidphilus pills mixed with the peroxide, then took orally two more acidphilus capsules with 1 800mg folic acid pill. To much my surprise it works, but just as soon as you miss a dose the discharge is back and few days later here comes the smell. So I guess I better not ever stop taking the pills
Are there any women out there who feels the douching makes it worse after the second or third day. Or if there are any women who has not tried the douching method and only did the pills and got good results. Also, do I have to take these pills for the rest of my life for I am not a good pill taker. But being how sick and tired I am of this dredful BV I guess I will take the pills everyday (one of each) and douch every other three days. What is the right amount of times to douche per week?

After months of prayer, prayer, and more prayer, I decided one more time I was going to search for maybe a home remedy (after being treated with BV AGAIN)....and Oh my gosh, I found this website, and after reading all of the feedback, I INSTANTLY went to the store and bought the hydrogen peroxide, folic acid and acidophillus pills. Within ONE DAY..my BV WAS COMPLETELY CURED. i was gone ALL weekend in the heat and sweating, and NO SYMPTOM WHATSOEVER popped up of BV. I AM SO, SO, INCREDIBLY THANKFUL.
Thank you for this website!! It also helped me feel SOO much better about what I had been suffering with- I'm not the only one!! If you are suffering with this problem, just keep praying and praying- God WILL take care of you! I am SOO thankful. Thank you so much- God bless you all!!
