Has anyone actually done this, is it safe to do and does it actually get rid of the strep B and how long for????

Maybe if it's such a good effective treatment and safe for baby etc, then we should all be doing it just incase we have strep B without knowing about it?

I would get worried about it being lost 'up there'.

I'll read your post BE.

I'm confused. the garlic is supposed to treat vaginal GBS, but the swab is taken from the anus as well?

Actually Belgo, that's a good point - plus I've just read an article that says the baby is still at the same risk if born by CS...
