Any time you mix fertility and antibiotics you get trouble. The very nature of antibiotics, when broken down, means “against life.” Optimal fertility comes from an alkaline environment but antibiotics actually cause the body to become acidic over time. Yeast grows as does inflammation.

When the body becomes acidic it sends a signal to produce more mucus and an inflammatory response in an effort to protect itself. Inflammation is an enemy.

There are many substances that are natural which can be used against bacterial infections, viral infections, and fungus infections. Some of them include using coconut oil to cook with, to add to shakes, and even to eat by the spoonful if tolerated. Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. Colloidal Silver is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial. Garlic is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Do you see that these, among many other natural supplements or foods, actually do more than just anti-bacterial?

Anti-bacterial and anti-biotics have been used as synonymous terms but they are not the same. Antibiotics kill good bacteria and anti-bacterial kills effective bacteria.

Antimicrobial resistance was recently recognized as one of the greatest threats to human health on the planet.

If you have already used birth control pills or antibiotics or have a history of cystitis or vaginal yeast infections you might want to read about probiotics like Alive Probiotics. Another consideration might be the Yeast Away Kit.
