Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I would appreciate some recommendations for treating a vaginal infection. Mine is primarily bacterial based, possibly with a touch of candida. Does anyone have any experience in using grapefruit seed extract as a douche? It seems that I remember reading about that somewhere..... In advance, Thank you for your help! Blessings, Meli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Many seeds (and the gel around the seed in a harvest fresh fruit) contain a molecule known as Mannose. It has been shown to have antibacterial and antifungal effects. This is not because it is poisonous to these things, but rather because it interferes with the biology of certain single-cell life forms. A seed extract preparation is not something that you are likely to have the technology to make for yourself, but if you look around you should be able to find it. They are considered reasonably safe and aren't as likely to throw large biology out of balance as would an antifungal cream. -Dave _____ Dave Saunders, NC, DNEH Certified Nutritional Educator and Wellness Coach, ANA Member of the American International Association of Nutritional Education (AIANE) _____ On Behalf Of Melissa Tuesday, November 21, 2006 6:59 PM Infection I would appreciate some recommendations for treating a vaginal infection.
