Today's question is another of the many I receive that pertain to itching vaginal discharge, but men have the same problem and I've yet to receive a question from guys, as you tend to be too macho to ask a woman such questions.

These questions are answered using what I gleaned from 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator along with my ongoing and past education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes along with my many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist. I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one. My years observing life and health of many around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating and watching those same schooled methods that weren't relieving illness and creating far more than they helped and people weren't told how to get healthy or prevent illness led me to look for something to change that premise. In looking I found and continue to find alternatives that really work when adhered to...

QUESTION:
 

Help Ms Sanchez,

I am a young woman of 23 and single. I think I have a vaginal infection because I've been having this itching in that area since on the 12th, i.e. 5 days now and it is miserable. This morning I've been noticing some white clumping discharge and slight bloody spots when I wipe, without an odor? My genital area feels swollen.

Now my question is this:

1.      How did I get this infection because I never had intercourse?
2.      What is the name of this infection?
3.      How can I be cured and what must I do or take to be cured? And
4.      How do I prevent it from occurring again?

Please I need an urgent response to this because I'm feeling very uncomfortable.

Thank you very much.
Rhonda.
 
ANSWER:
 
This question is asked frequently and since I have not covered it publicly for more than a year I feel this a good time, as Summer seems to find the problem cropping up more often. I answered Rhonda immediately so she has this info before it was published?
 
Rhonda,

To start with it sounds very much like a vaginal yeast infection, which is very common in women and indicative that other parts of your body is being over run by yeast as well.

You do not have to have intercourse to get a vaginal yeast infection; all you have to do is kill the natural flora (aka probiotics) in your intestinal digestive tract. Your body is made up of bacteria of which there should be a proper balance of good bacteria to overcome bad bacteria when it invades your body. When the good bacteria is decreased it gives yeast a platform to grow in, as yeast isn't easy to kill therefore overgrows fast when given the chance...

Killing good bacteria in the body is done by one or more of several means.
1. Most common culprit is too much sugar and fats in your diet. (Soda's and sugary treats and fast foods are the major contributor to so many yeast infections running wild.)
2. Taking any one of several OTC or prescribed medications such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories (aspirin, ibuprofen, tylenol, etc.) which kills the natural flora as well as deplete your system of it's minerals and vitamins.
3. Wearing too tight clothing while doing any or all of the above.

How to combat a yeast infection? It can be simple and easy. There are several ways but I have found Ionic Silver Water to be the fastest... You will need to put 1 Tablespoon of Silver Water in 1 quart of warm water and douche - usually once or twice will do the trick in the vaginal area - But you have to kill the yeast that spreads to the rest of the body and that will take a couple of teaspoons of Ionic Silver Water by mouth three times a day for 2 or 3  weeks, sometimes a month. That usually will kill the yeast BUT if you don't re-propagate your intestinal tract with probiotics - 1 caplet between meals and 2 caplets at bedtime - to kill the overabundance of yeast your vaginal problem will not be solved?
An alternative should you not have the probiotics close at hand and you want to begin treatment until you do; insert into your vaginal area 1 Tablespoon of plain unsweetened, unflavored yogurt as well as consume 4 to 5 ounces of plain unflavored, unsweetened yogurt for a couple of weeks, messy and very slow but effective id done faithfully for several weeks.

For gals who report pain from the problem: To get immediate relief; douche with 1 Tablespoon white or cider vinegar in a quart of warm water two or four times a day. This will help the pain and raw sores that the yeast creates in your vaginal area... Will not kill the yeast or re-propagate your probiotics, simply pain control only...

Again if you do not rebuild the natural flora balance the yeast overgrowth problem will continue...

If these do not work you should see a Gynecologist for the problem, but I'm quite sure that won't be necessary, if you follow the instructions I've outlined...

There are also OTC medications but I do not recommend them as it doesn't aptly correct the problem and helps to overload the liver and kidneys, which should be avoided at all costs as your foods, water and body care products all contain pesticides, hormones and chemicals that already is overloading those organs and nobody knows how much of an overload will lead to serious health problem... Hence the reason for so much cancer and chronic illnesses... I prefer to err on the safe side and not use chemicals in any phase if I can help it...

I hope this answers your question and helps. 
Lena

 PS: Guys have a similar problem that usually shows up with a pineal itch, drainage and/or sores on the penis. Except for the douche, above, these things can treat you guys as well...

TAKING CONTROL OF STRESS

Have you heard about the man who was shopping with his baby boy? The obviously distraught and screaming child sat in the shopping cart.

As the man walked up and down the aisles, he calmly and patiently repeated, "Don't yell, Bobby. Calm down, Bobby. Don't get excited, Bobby."

A woman standing next to him turned and said, "You certainly are to be commended for trying so hard to soothe little Bobby."

The bewildered man looked up and said, "Lady, I'M BOBBY!"

It all gets a little much sometimes. Have you taken inventory of the stress in your life? Stress can come from work. It can come from family. It can come from the places we live and the lifestyles we choose.

In a recent survey, 60 percent of respondents said the city in which they live is noisier now than five years ago. The other 40 percent? They didn't hear the question.

How much stress do you feel? Though not all stress should be avoided, too much pressure can cause lasting harm in practically every area of your life. The solution is to take control.

Robert Reich did just that. As Secretary of Labor in the Clinton cabinet, Robert B. Reich, in an article published in the Op-Ed sections of the New York Times and Washington Post, told of his decision to resign from the stressful job. He said, "I have the best job I've ever had and probably ever will. No topping it." It was true. He seemed to love his job. But he added, "I also have the best family I'll ever have, and I can't get enough of them." And there was the problem -- too much of a good thing. He could not give himself to his family and to this particular career at the same time.

So Reich said, "I had to choose. I told the boss I'll be leaving, and explained why." His boss, of course, was the president of the United States. And the country took notice. Some people were stunned. Here was a high government official who made a decision to step out of an important and powerful position in order to spend the more time at home. He took control.

That is the first step to freeing ourselves from unnecessary stress: take control. Make the tough decision. It may be a decision for less money, a smaller home, a new location, a different job, less prestige, or a simpler lifestyle. But one thing I believe: it will be a decision you will never regret.
