Why ignore the vinegar douche?

[Livethe3quetra]

Looking at the chart that I was finally able to view the statistics show that the most consistent factor is the vinegar douche, by so much more than the LE diet. So why do so many people keep chanting 'diet is the biggest factor' when your own statistics show such a substantial sway factor. Is there a thread somewhere when all the women using vinegar douches had a MC or something?

Why is this being left out and not mentioned anymore?

From what I've read here and my own personal belief I don't think ph sways. Also with regards to the stats there is so many other factors in play. Those figures are not based on just the vinegar douching alone, those people were possibly doing the LE diet and exercise as well which sways way more the the douching. Also it may have been that less people done the douching than the diet and another factor to get their girls but that figure is off because say 8/10 were douching got girls (as well as doing the diet etc which actually swayed) so that effectively 80% but that not accurate for just douching, but then 60/100 people got a girl on the LE diet that swayed them to get girls but as there were more people on it it seems that the figures are lower, If that makes sense?

Argh hopefully someone can explain it better than me! Sorry I know what im trying to say

Ok I think I understand. However if the reason why the diet sways is unknown. They just suggest it because 'it have been seen to work, even if we don't know why the statistics show it' then it stands to reason that perhaps it isn't the PH that makes the vinegar douche work but something else about it. What I am saying is, why is everyone so quick to dismiss the vinegar but not dimiss the diet. If both work well without us knowing then you would think they would support both.

Hopefully atomic will answer this at some point, but I know on the "other site" everyone was really into vinegar douching and if I recall there was some correlation to higher ectopic/miscarriage/yeast infection rates without much benefit. I know the stats look wonky but that's such a tiny sample size it's hard to get much information from a sample that tiny.

[Livethe3quetra]

That is the answer I was looking for. I knew surely there must be a reason for it. I sure would like to see the study or statistics that showed that ectopic/miscarriage/yeast infection rate in correlation to that treatment. . Especially since all three of those things are completely different issues.

Vaginal douching and the risk of ectopic... [Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1997] - PubMed - NCBI (study about douching and ectopic pregnancy), and as far as yeast infections go I think it's altering your ph can cause yeast infections, but I'm not 100% sure. It might not be related to miscarriage in particular, I might be remembering wrong. Apologies if I added further confusion to the issue but I wanted to give you an answer to mull over in the meantime while you wait for atomic's official correct answer.

It can also kill all the sperm and the you won't get pregnant.

It can also make you really stressed and we are pretty sure that sways blue.

If you look at the stats only 16 sways incorporated the douche, that's not a lot of data to go on in comparison to the diet.

Thought I'd seen somewhere about douching and miscarriage or ectopic but didn't want to quote until I'd found it so glad bluebonnet has put link up.
