How to get rid of Strep B Naturally

Kick Strep B to the Curb

I think one of the things I dread most in pregnancy is the "tests" that they give you. With my first baby, every visit was like I was in dyer need of testing. If it wasn't done, I was going to keel over at that moment and my baby would suffer. Talk about a lot of pressure and stress every single day.

I believe that God has made a woman who has a good diet (and believe it or not even the ones with poor diets, which astounds me - different story) and healthy lifestyle to successfully grow and birth a child WITHOUT all the tests. Anyways...getting off subject.

With my second child I am approaching the whole pregnancy in a new light. The Lord put it on my heart to really trust him and how he created my body to birth. I'll explain. I am a complete and total worry wort. If there is something to worry about it I am ALL OVER IT! I will stress over every detail and analyze it until I have researched and talked about it to death. Yes, it is annoying. With my first baby, I wanted a natural birth and ended up in the hospital with a c-section. Why? Stress and Worrying. The tests freaked me out and I didn't like the fact that I was being pressured EVERY visit to have the baby within a week. Uh... I can't control when he comes... and natural birth "remedies" to bring on labor are not all they are cracked up to be, which is why I had a c-section in the first place! Anyways...

I am having a home birth with this baby. My midwife comes every week to visit and it is super laid back. She knows her stuff, which gives me a huge comfort, is a believer and follower of Christ, and doesn't rush anything (to a point...) during labor. She is great. Well, she impressed me further when I was Strep B positive (again....ugh). She didn't just say, "Yeah, you are going to have to have antibiotics during birth." She had a plan of attack and after some research of my own and results - it works! So, this is what I am doing to kill Strep-B.

1. Hydrogen Peroxide washes (1 cup hydrogen peroxide and 3 cups filtered water) once a day (using a peri bottle or dousch kit).
-Wash the inside of the vaginal walls and try to get in all the crevices. Wash the outside, inside, and the pathway to the butt (that is where the strep B originates).

2. Supplements (2 times a day):
-2 Echinacea (400mg)
-1 Olive Leaf Extract (300 mg)
-500 mg of Vitamin C (I use Garden of Life Living Vitamin C)
-1 Grape Seed Extract (125 mg)
-1 Zinc (15 mg) (or 30 mg once a day total)
-1 Garlic Clove (eat it as raw as possible - I found applesauce helps)

3. Probiotics (Vaginal Care by Garden of Life)
-Orally (once a day)
-Vaginally (once a night - while you are sleeping)

4. Try to stay away from heavy sugars like cake, pie, ice cream, etc.
