Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

Condition
  • Streptococcus bacteria: Bacterial vaginosis is streptococcus. Per Streptococcus Revealed podcast: 'Bacterial vaginosis is strepococcus, by the way.' Per Healing Acne podcast: 'BV, bacterial vaginosis, is strep.' Medical communities do not currently identify streptococcus as the cause of BV and therefore treat it incorrectly. There are over 100 different strains of strep, and some women accumulate multiple strains over time from childhood antibiotic use, shared fluids, and other exposures. By age 38, many women have five or six different strains of strep — including vaginal strains causing constant discharge that doctors misattribute to yeast.
  • Bugs: Caused by bugs/bacterial infections
  • Strep bacteria: Caused by streptococcus bacteria
  • Chronic strep infection
  • Antibiotic overuse creating resistant strep: Each round of antibiotics strengthens the strep bacteria, making it more antibiotic-resistant and causing it to come back more aggressively. Antibiotics prescribed for BV are a direct cause of recurrent, harder-to-treat BV. Strep grows stronger with each antibiotic exposure.
  • Foods that feed streptococcus: Eggs, dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, ghee), corn, wheat/gluten, rye, and canola oil all feed streptococcus and contribute to ongoing and recurrent BV. Per Streptococcus Revealed: 'Strep ferociously feeds off of cheese, milk, butter... Corn is such an instigator with strep. Strep is a corn eater, a corn feeder.' Canola oil is described as 'the ultimate, ultimate, ultimate mistake for cystitis, for strep, for anything going on.'
  • Strep: Really strep - Strepococcus
  • Strep: Strep causes bacterial vaginosis
