Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / October 2004Probiotics ineffective for preventing vaginal yeast
- Probiotics no better a placebo in the face of antibiotic treatment, according to this study. OTHER FACTS you should know (and are usually not told) before you swallow an antibiotic - 23% of women got vaginal candidiasis after taking antibiotics, according to the study - Diflucan is better than a placebo but still fails 3 out of 10 of women - Approximately 5% of women (1 in 20) who get vaginal candidiasis develop a chronic infection refractory to ALL TREATMENT that torments them for the rest of their lives (and often ends their sex lives and sometimes even their marriages) Woody BMJ, doi:10.1136/bmj.38210.494977.DE (published 27 August 2004) Probiotics ineffective for preventing vaginal problems Route of administration made no difference in BMJ study. Probiotics, commonly used by women to prevent fungal overgrowth in the vagina during antibiotic therapy, proved of little benefit in a study of 235 nonpregnant young and middle-aged women in a study published early online by the British Medical Journal. Women used probiotics containing Lactobacillus or placebo preparations orally or vaginally until 4 days after completion of their antibiotic course. They recorded any symptoms and provided vaginal swabs for analysis. Overall, 23% of women developed vulvovaginitis after antibiotics. Compared with placebo, probiotic treatments were ineffective in preventing vulvovaginitis. The trial was stopped early because it was considered unethical to continue with no potential benefit. The role of Lactobacillus in postantibiotic vulvovaginitis is an example of a treatment that has widespread use despite lack of a biologically plausible basis or evidence of effectiveness, write the authors. "Even if a viable hypothesis existed to explain a role for lactobacilli, to be effective, oral lactobacilli would need to survive gastric acidity and ingested antibiotics and then colonise the lower bowel and vagina," the group concludes. "Although colonisation may occur after prolonged ingestion of yoghurt, this does not seem likely in the 10 day time frame of this study. Also lactobacilli exhibit host specificity and colonisation potential: not all species can colonise the human gastrointestinal tract and vagina. Lactobacillus pessaries are also subject to the effects of antibiotics. Unless a biologically plausible theory develops, further research in this subject is unlikely to be fruitful.... Our results should prompt health professionals to inform women that lactobacillus is unlikely to prevent post-antibiotic vulvovaginitis and that they should consider using proved antifungal treatment if symptoms develop." http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/bmj.38210.494977.DEv1 Hello, > - Probiotics no better a placebo in the face >of antibiotic treatment, > according to this study. When fighting both at the same time, the Third Kingdom plus antibiotics, donot expect yogurt alone to win the battle, because you will need to bring out your entire arsenal. You need your raw garlic along with colon cleansers, over-the-counter anti-fungal creams, such as Lotramine and one-day, vaginal creams, AZO's "YEAST" (or such as), gentian violet, not forgetting Vit. E "OIL" applications, and 6-times a-day Vit. C, 500 mg. You will also need this knowledge: http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/afung.html as well as this one: http://www.drmirkin.com/morehealth/G220.htm You must start the colon cleanse sometimes as much as up to a year before you can get full results. You cannot wing it like that and expect results against such a double, formidable enemy as they: the parasite and mercenary merged as one evil army in your body, against Mother Nature, not to mention the fact you gave them the power in the first place, and that makes it three against one. > OTHER FACTS you should know (and are >usually not told) before you [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >after taking antibiotics, > according to the study No. That isnot what happens. The Candida is already there waiting, and when the antibiotic is introduced, it feeds the fungus . . . and away the two flew to the top of her head to the tip of her toes, infecting her systemically- unless she were lucky and it just hung around in the vaginal area, which is hard to believe when you know the truth about this horrid Third Kingdom taking over Man. Sometimes a person needs antibiotics, however that is no reason for the Candida to do what it does, and get away with it, yet; not to mention the possibility the cause for the need of the antibiotic in the first place was in fact the parasitic Candida. > - Diflucan is better than a placebo but still >fails 3 out of 10 of > women Diflucan simply changes the albicans to tropicalus. > - Approximately 5% of women (1 in 20) >who get vaginal candidiasis [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >ends their sex lives and > sometimes even their marriages) heehee: So much for "liberation" . . .
