Here's a great article on GBS and the overuse of antiobiotics and the potential for alternative remedies such as Garlic, Echinacea, Vitamin C taken internally combined with herbal vaginal washes. It starts about half way down page - Treating Group B strep: are antiobiotics necessary? Christa Novelli

Judy Slome Cohain had an article published in the Winter 2004 (number 72) edition of Midwifery Today, called GBS, Pregnancy and Garlic, be a part of the solution. Not sure if its available online, or if it was published elsewhere, but she talks about the research shes been doing and protocols etc for trying the use of garlic for treatment and prophylaxis. Hope that helps

Does anyone have any good references on the use of garlic to treat GBS??? We have several women with previous GBS approaching "swab time" who are interested in this.
