"Most cases of PID are the result of chlamydia, with the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea a close second. gonorrhea was on the wane in the 1970s, thanks to antibiotics, but has come back during the last decade because it has developed new, drug-resistant strains that the old antibiotics cannot kill. As new, stronger drugs are created, tougher strains of gonorrhea are appearing. A woman's reproductive organs contain special immune cells designed to fight infection. If your system is rundown, your immunity may need a boost." - Kathi Keville, Herbs for Health and Healing (Get the book.)

About 18 percent of American adolescents have had a chlamydial infection, and one recent study found that 50 percent of the women on one college campus had been infected. The group most affected is between the ages of fifteen and nineteen, with twenty- to twenty-four-year-old people coming in second." - Phyllis A.

"Two new strains of gonorrhea recently were discovered in the Philippines and in West Africa—strains which totally destroy penicillin's effectiveness. Of course, Modern Medicine has a stronger drug ready for the stronger gonorrhea bacteria—spectinomycin. Spectinomycin costs six times as much and has even more side effects. Meanwhile, the gonorrhea bacteria have developed a strain which is resistant to spectinomycin, too! As the battle escalates, the germs grow stronger while the patients and their pocketbooks grow weaker." - Robert Mendelsohn, Confessions of a Medical Heretic (Get the book.)

"In Thailand, for example, prostitutes were given monthly injections of penicillin in an attempt to prevent the spread of gonorrhea to their clients. The result was almost the opposite of the intended effect. Instead of stopping the spread of gonorrhea, the indiscriminant use of penicillin encouraged the selection and eventual spread of strains that were resistant to penicillin. Servicemen stationed in Southeast Asia carried strains of gonorrhea that resisted penicillin back to the United States." - Paul A. Offit, M.D.m Bonnie Fass-Offit, M.D. and Louis M.

The parasites or bacteria responsible for these and other STDs share one thing in common: they fare very poorly in the presence of ascorbic acid." - John Heinerman, Heinerman's Encyclopedia of Healing Juices (Get the book.)

"Consider, for example, gonorrhea. As an illness it is fairly straightforward: an infection chiefly of the mucosal lining of the genitourinary tract, spread by sexual contact among infected partners, and highly sensitive to treatment by antibiotics, especially penicillin. That's gonorrhea as an illness, as a medical entity. But our society attaches a great number of meanings and judgments to gonorrhea as a sickness—society has much to say about the disease and those who contract it, some of which is true, much of which is false and cruel." - Ken Wilber, The Essential Ken Wilber: An Introductory Reader (Get the book.) "Those who contract gonorrhea are unclean, or perverts, or morally degenerate; gonorrhea is a moral disease, which is its own painful punishment; those who get gonorrhea deserve it, since they are morally unfit—and so on. Long after penicillin has destroyed the illness, the sickness may still remain, its judgments and condemnations eating away at the person's soul the way the simpler bacteria once ate at the body. "I'm a rotten person, I'm no good, how horrible of me. . . ." - Ken Wilber, The Essential Ken Wilber: An Introductory Reader (Get the book.)

"Among the miasms he described were those caused by exposure to the venereal-disease-related organisms of syphilis and gonorrhea. The syphilitic and sycotic (gonorrheal) miasms were felt to cause secondary manifestations of illness even after the primary infection had been cured. Conventional research has hinted at possible medical models for miasmatic illnesses. For instance, certain viruses may not only produce illness-related symptoms, but their core DNA may incorporate itself into the chromosomes of its human host." - Richard Gerber, M.D., Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies (Get the book.)

"The two most common disease suspects are gonorrhea and chlamydia, according to Michelle Topal, supervisor of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Sexually Transmitted Disease Hotline in Research Park, North Carolina. Both have similar signs. Chlamydia produces a discharge around the head of the penis and perhaps some pain when urinating. gonorrhea also inflicts some urinary burning or pain. The leak may let loose as soon as 2 to 5 days after having sex with an infected partner, or it could take as long as 14 days, Topal says." - the Editors of PREVENTION Magazine Health Books, Symptoms: Their Causes & Cures : How to Understand and Treat 265 Health Concerns (Get the book.)

Symptoms generally appear between two and fourteen days after sexual contact in men and from seven to twenty-one days after contact in women.
