"Because estriol binds tightly to vaginal estrogen receptors, it can have a significant impact on correcting vaginal dryness and thinning of the vaginal wall. One study showed a complete resolution of vaginal atrophy in 80 percent of women within four months of estriol use.607 Another study demonstrated significant improvement in vaginal dryness and atrophy.608 In addition, estriol can significantly help improve the symptoms of transition, including hot flashes." - Byron J. Richards, CCN, Mastering Leptin: The Leptin Diet, Solving Obesity and Preventing Disease, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"Yogurt with active cultures can discourage vaginal yeast infections in women. Candida vaginal, or yeast, infections are a common problem for women with diabetes, and in a small study, seven diabetes patients with chronic Candida vaginitis were randomly assigned to consume 6 ounces of aspartame-sweetened yogurt per day (with or without active cultures like lactobacillus). Even though most of the women had poor glycemic control throughout the study, the vaginal pH (acid level) of the group eating yogurt with active cultures decreased from 6.0 (normal pH is 4.0 to 4.5) to 4." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"More than a third are repeat procedures based on the belief that a rupture in the uterine scar may occur if a vaginal birth is attempted, despite evidence that rupture occurs in only 1% of such births. Other conditions where C-sections confer doubtful benefit are dystocia (difficult labor), breech presentation and fetal distress. There are also risks associated with C-sections, most notably for the infant prematurity or respiratory disease and infection. Maternal mortality is two to four times higher compared to vaginal births." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"A vaginal, blood, sinus, or colon infection that is usually caused by a fungus.

"These doctors often tend to undermedicate nonvaginal yeast overgrowth. A vaginal yeast infection might be cleared by as little as a single 150-mg. tablet of Diflucan, but resistant, heavy yeast overgrowth in the gut may require the medication every day for several months. Diflucan is metabolized by the liver, so long-term usage should be monitored with liver function tests. I check these tests two weeks after starting the medication, and then once per month thereafter." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"This leads to the multiplication of yeast in the vagina and a vaginal discharge resembling curds of milk appears along with itching in the vagina and adjacent skin. Yeast vaginal infections also frequently occur in diabetics and those on oral contraceptive therapy. Trichomonas infection usually has a profuse frothy discharge often associated with annoying itching. This condition can be spread sexually and the sexual partner should be treated at the same time. Bacterial vaginitis is usually the proper diagnosis if neither yeast or trichomonas are seen in the vaginal secretions." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"In fact, it is the most common vaginal infection. The primary differences between the two are that BV is usually associated with a heavy discharge that has a strong fishy odor, and a yeast infection doesn't usually involve such an odor. Also, BV may involve some mild burning or itching, but with yeast infections, that symptom is more common and more intense. Not much is known about how women get BV." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"While a vaginal yeast infection is one common symptom of that, it's far from the only damage yeast can do. Yeast can actually travel throughout the body and become a systemic infection, producing symptoms both mental and physical. And Candida, being a living organism, produces waste products that can be allergenic for some people. Simply put, an overgrowth of Candida is not your friend. So how does this imbalance happen in the first place? Let's start with Candida's favorite food: sugar. Yeast thrives on sugar. Loves the stuff." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Only in some cases are the symptoms localized and obvious—a vaginal yeast infection, for example, or a case of thrush, which is an overgrowth in the mouth. Most of the time the symptoms are general and somewhat ambiguous. You could experience anything from brain fog to fatigue to GI distress, rashes, hives, skin problems, or sinus infections—the connection to Candida can be elusive. With such a wide range of diffuse symptoms, most people have no idea that they're infected with the little bugs. (One tip-off: Check under your toenails." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Remember that the vaginal yeast infection is just one manifestation of Candida, so it's a good idea not to skip the dietary and supplement recommendations. That said, a douche of one of the following may be a nice addition to the program. According to my associates, nutritionists Suzanne Copp, M.S., and Susan Mudd, M.S., C.N.S., these are all effective, so choose one that appeals to you and give it a try: Boric acid: Studies show the effectiveness of boric acid as a douche is very high, especially in women with chronic resistant yeast infections." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"With infants born by vaginal delivery, the length of the birthing process significantly influences the chance of detecting viable bacteria from the mouth and stomach of the newborn [29]. Infants born by cesarean section may also acquire the mother's microflora. However, initial exposure is most likely from the environment (e.g., hospital condition, nursing staffs, and other infants in the nursery) [30-33]. Besides mode of delivery, hygiene practices may influence the bacterial species introduced to the infant GI tract." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

L. salivarius helps digest foods in the intestinal tract and makes vital nutrients more assimilable." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "The same battle is fought in the vaginal tract, the nasal cavities, and in the mouth. Just as a note, there are some 40 different types of bacteria resident in a healthy mouth alone. changes tend to favor the growth of harmful viral and fungal organisms as well as putrefactive, disease-causing bacteria. • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like Advil, Motrin, Midol, etc. are destructive to intestinal flora. • Chlorine in the drinking water not only serves to kill bacteria in the water; it is equally devastating to the colonies of beneficial bacteria living in the intestines." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Even though most of the women had poor glycemic control throughout the study, the vaginal pH (acid level) of the group eating yogurt with active cultures decreased from 6.0 (normal pH is 4.0 to 4.5) to 4.0 and reported a decrease in yeast infections. The other group remained at the pH of 6.0. (continued) SYNERGY IN ACTION: YOGURT (conr.)

"This is particularly important to women to help prevent a whole range of vaginal infections. Many researchers believe that declining levels of bifidobacteria in the large intestine actually mark the eventual onset of chronic degenerative disease. Bifidobacteria benefit the body in a number of ways. They (1) consume old fecal matter; (2) have the ability to remove cancer-forming elements, or the enzymes which lead to their formation; (3) protect against the formation of liver, colon, and mammary gland tumors." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Lye is basic, while the vaginal tract is normally acidic. Thus, soaps, by altering the pH of the delicate vaginal membranes, may weaken local immunity, increasing the risks for infections, particularly yeast infections. Instead of using harsh soaps for vaginal cleansing use pure edible essential oils such as oils of myrtle, lavender, bay berry, and/or rosemary (emulsified in olive oil). Vaginitis combat kit • oil of oregano — take 2 drops twice daily under the tongue.

"Maternal mortality is two to four times higher compared to vaginal births.7 Not all pregnant women have an equal chance of undergoing the procedure. Reminiscent of Shaw's complaint, it turns out that women who are healthier, of higher social class, better insured or cared for in private services are at higher "risk" than their poorer, less-insured counterparts, even though it is lower-class women that have higher risk pregnancies. Hospital stays are considerably longer, and costs considerably higher. Who the physician is also matters." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Yeast vaginal infections also frequently occur in diabetics and those on oral contraceptive therapy. Trichomonas infection usually has a profuse frothy discharge often associated with annoying itching. This condition can be spread sexually and the sexual partner should be treated at the same time.
