Hi, I have been asked to try and contact a midwife who
graduated from KEMH in WA . The school of march 1980. Her name then was
Raelene Taylor. There were 18 members of the class and the organizers have
been able to contact 17 of them. Raelene is missing. Thanks, Mary Murphy
I'll try this again. I'm a bit
tired of stuff going missing on this list. :(

Probiotics especially bifidobacterium and
lactobacillus will help colonise the gut and vaginal tract with beneficial
bacteria. Those beneficial bacteria keep other possible pathogenic bacteria in
control. Garlic is a prebiotic and will provide food for the beneficial

Hi,
At the end(?) of the Novelli article it mentions Propolis, a bee
product.
I have used this very successfully with BGS+ve women - 2 weeks of
taking that orally once per day, reswabbed and no GBS.

Yes, disgusting and it leads to the new penchant for putting things up
women's bums. Our young women need to be told to "Say, no" when anyone
wants to put fingers, foleys, gels, amni hooks, forceps and other

If they are talking about 'burst vagina's" I would
suggest perhaps it's another name for 'splitting, tearing etc". In that case,
most women just have a few stitches.
