    BV and yeast
    What other alternative treatments can one take for a persistent yeast infection and BV. Antibiotics and Diflucan don't work.

    Hi Novette,
    Some possible herbs you could look into are grapefruit seed extract (GSE), wild oregano oil, caprylic acid, and garlic (raw). There are also many "Candida cleanse" regimens available in your local health food store as well.
    Hope this is of some help. Take care.

    Thanks thomas I will try these out I went to the nurse practitioner the other day and she told me she has never seen so much yeast in her life. I was mortified I don't know what to do because it seems the yeast and bacteria have become resistant to medication i.e. the antibiotics and diflucan/fluconazole. I wish they could tell me what's causing this and why it can't get treated its been 2 months now. I have done all tests just to be sure even HIV and STD and all those are negative I'm fine apart from this infection.
