Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection with malodorous discharge, itching, and burning. The most common bacterial overgrowth cause is altered vaginal PH and bacterial flora. Conventional treatment includes Metro-gel, Cleocin, and boric acid vaginal suppositories. Although the above medications resolve symptoms, many women continue to get recurrent bacterial vaginosis.
At the Health and Vitality Center, we have noticed a correlation between high levels of heavy metals and chronic bacterial vaginosis. High heavy metals lower immunity and cause a biofilm formation around bacteria. This biofilm shell makes it difficult for antibiotics to penetrate the wall of the bacteria and eradicate it completely.
IV chelation therapy has been very helpful in resolving this biofilm formation and curing bacterial vaginosis once and for all. In addition, a specific Lactobacillus probiotic is prescribed to re-inoculate the vaginal flora. These friendly bacterias produce hydrogen peroxide and inhibit the growth of bad bacteria. High-dose IV vitamin C is also very powerful in boosting immunity and correcting vaginal PH.
