Gonorrhea is an infectious, sexually transmitted disease (STD) in humans that affects the mucous membranes of the urinary and genital tracts. It is caused by the Neisseria gonococci bacteria. Symptoms of Gonorrhea include urethral pain and mucopurulent (pus) discharge in men and lower backache and vaginal discharge in females. 

Gonorrhea is painful, socially embarrassing, and dangerous; so, you have to make sure that you do what it takes to do away with the infection.

Causes of Gonorrhea

Since the disease is sexually transmitted, in both homosexuals and heterosexuals, one can only blame it on unprotected sex, especially with multiple partners. The intensity of the infection, the manifestation and the progress has a lot to do with the individual's immunity status. Patients with poor immunity face complications, whereas in people with better overall immunity, the infection remains fairly restricted to the site of infection.

Pathology

In gonorrhea in men, the gonococcus invades the mucosa of the urethra and produces inflammation which is suppurative. The discharge is purulent. In gonorrhea in men, the organism may invade the prostate, epididymis, seminal vesicles, the periurethral tissues and the urinary bladder, and cause local complications.

In gonorrhea in women, the gonococcus has specific affinity for the columnar epithelium of the cervix. In gonorrhea in women, the bartholin gland and duct and urethra are the common places where gonococcal invasion occurs. If the fallopian tubes are affected, sterility is a likely complication.

Gonorrhea Symptoms

Gonorrhea Symptoms in Men:

• Discomfort and sometimes pain in the urethra, followed by mucopurulent discharge
• Increased frequency of urination, with burning in some cases
• In untreated cases, posterior urethritis develops, which may be accompanied by headache, malaise, tachycardia and pyrexia
• Proctitis (Inflammation of the anus and rectum) is common in genito-anal contact and there may be pharyngitis with genito-oral contact
• Structure of the urethra is a common complication
• If the prostate gets affected, the urinary flow is partially obstructed.

The peer-reviewed published research quoted on this page represents some of the studies done on natural remedies for gonorrhea. More such studies can be found on pubmed or google scholar. Our doctors participate in or evaluate research from all traditions before formulating our precedent-setting kits. However, the laws on natural medicine vary, from country to country, and we, therefore, make no claims beyond those made by the FDA in your country who is the only authority that can legally make a claim to cure, treat, or mitigate a disease. You are welcome to discuss this research with your doctors. If they truly care about your health they too will take the time to study it with an open mind. You may then take our all natural products for Immune support. Biogetica supports you in your right to know and chose and we vow to be with you every step of the way. No one will be turned away from receiving our natural remedies even if they cannot pay.

Gonorrhea is usually treated with antibiotics like Penicillin and sulfa drugs. However, certain strains of the bacteria become resistant to these antibiotics. In such cases, a re-culture has to be done to find out which antibiotic should be used. Nevertheless, antibiotics merely help in suppressing symptoms and are not without their fair share of allergic reactions and side-effects.

Therefore, the best way to deal with a gonorrhoea infection is by boosting one’s immunity. Ifgonorrhea is left untreated, it may lead to serious conditions like PID, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, tube ovarian abscess, ectopic pregnancy, and inflammation of the bartholin gland. A pregnant woman may also transmit this infection to her child.

General Precautionary Measures

A healthy diet is always an asset and will help the body to resist any form of attack from bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. A diet balanced in fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, with the required vitamin and mineral levels is extremely helpful in combating the infection. But the most important aspect is having sex with a single partner or indulging in protected intercourse with multiple partners.

Biogetica’s mission is to provide you with integrated natural solutions that target root issues across the physical, energetic and informational spectrum of your life. Our Doctors research all possible ingredients and combine them synergistically into kits to potentially lead you back to health and freedom.

Biogetica's approach to healing is based on the following aspects:
1. HEAL THE ENTIRE BEING:
2. LOOK FOR NATURAL SOLUTIONS:
3. BALANCE MIND, BODY AND SOUL
4. FROM MEDICATION TO MEDITATION

1. HEAL THE ENTIRE BEING:
Biogetica has a unique and comprehensive Holographic model of healing which synthesizes all the traditional natural health systems to simultaneously ease physical, mental, emotional layers of your being.

You, as a living, thinking, feeling, vibrating being, are much more than a collection of inter-related chemical processes. You are life itself. Life can never be reduced to a series of chemical reactions as chemical reactions cannot create life. Every thought, emotion, vibration or action leads to a series of chemical changes in the body. Biogetica recognizes this and balances the ENTIRE BEING, bringing mind, body, and soul into harmony. Treating an ailment on a molecular level alone, seldom has a lasting effect as the untreated social, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic patterns cause the ailment to manifest once again on a physical plane. Holistic healing is necessary for lasting relief. Biogetica, therefore, uses Resonance Homeopathic to harmonize the entire being; flower essences to attune the mind; Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and Chinese herbs to balance the energetic and the physiological manifestation of the five elements; and nutraceuticals to coordinate cellular nutrition.

2. LOOK FOR NATURAL SOLUTIONS:
Our bodies are made of and supported by nature and therefore can only be healed by nature in the long term. Chemicals are often necessary for immediate change in an acute situation but tend to do the body more harm than good in the long run. Hence, Biogetica's Doctors are dedicated to providing natural solutions that are supported by evidence and prior use. To us, the argument is fairly obvious: One would use wood to fix a desk made of wood or metal to fix a car made of metal, so why use chemicals to fix a body made of nature?

Nature has blessed the Earth with natural remedies and healing mechanisms. It would be wise not to ignore them. The intelligence of nature is much greater than that of man. Unfortunately, man still focuses on chemical medicines, as they can be patented and sold for huge profits. Allopathic attempts to treat chronic ailments by interfering directly with the chemical processes using man-made substances have essentially been a failure. We claim to be cracking the gene code, but we still can't cure a cold with man-made substances!!! Homeopathic and Naturopathic methods are never studied and verified by governing bodies, as there is no one who will spend millions obtaining an approval on herbs, knowing that they cannot be patented and sold exclusively by them.

3. BALANCE MIND, BODY AND SOUL:
Life cannot be recreated with chemical interactions and there is much more to life than molecular interactions. Our bodies are the most advanced pharmacies on the planet and millions of functions happen each minute with astounding precision. Biogetica therapies are designed to appeal to the balancing forces apparent in all nature by reminding and stimulating the body towards a certain function. The nutraceuticals in our kits provide specific nutrition for a function, the herbs in our kits balance the terrain of the body so that it is able to perform that function and the resonance homeopathies are designed to remind the body to be in resonance with that very function.

4. FROM MEDICATION TO MEDITATION:
Good health and freedom involve every aspect of our being including diet, lifestyle, exercise, emotional states, thoughts and energetic patterns. Biogetica Drs have therefore designed diet, nutrition, exercise, and meditation protocols specific to various life situations. We encourage you to actively partake in these for best results.

Biogetica's supplementary natural products predominantly contain Resonance Homeopathic formulations. The core of these protocols is homeopathic sarcodes. As per classical homeopathy, sarcodes are believed to remind body of specific optimal functions. The kits here have sarcodes of pituitary, adrenals, dopamine and other nerve tissues. These sarcodes may coax nervous and endocrine system to function optimally when concerned with loss of muscular coordination, weakening memory and altered glandular secretions. **

These supplementary natural products are meant to complement conventional treatments. They should not be considered as a replacement for medical advice and treatment. They are not meant to diagnose, mitigate, prevent, cure or treat any disease. **

Prana' stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. 'Pranayama' is the process that helps us control 'Prana', and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.

1.Tandem Breathing ('Sahita Kumbhaka') 

It has 2 types, based on whether or not there is any concomitant chanting of Mantras with the Pranayama exercise.

It encourages concentration with closed eyes while we inhale and exhale.

2. Awakening breath ('Surya Bheda')

Steps:

1. Upright position in a comfortable asana like Padma-asana / Swastika asana / Siddhasana. Concentrate with eyes closed.

• Inhale through the left nostril for a definite period of time – say 5 seconds.
• Close the left nostril with the right ring-finger and little-finger.
• Concurrently remove your thumb from the right nostril, and exhale.
• This is to be done for twice the inhalation period, i.e. for 10 seconds.
• This completes the first half of one round. 3. Second half round
• Inhale through the right nostril for a definite period say 5 seconds.
• Close the right nostril with the right thumb.

• This completes the other half of one round.

3. Second half round:

• Inhale through the right nostril for a definite period – say 5 seconds.
• Close the right nostril with your right thumb.
• Exhale through the left nostril for a period that is twice that of inhalation i.e. 10 seconds.
• This completes the other half of one round.

Time limit: 

If there is no discomfort of any kind after practicing as instructed above, increase the inhalation period gradually second-by-second. Correspondingly change the exhalation period.

Number of Rounds: 

Begin with 3 rounds. If there is no discomfort, 1 round can be added every week, until you are doing 7 rounds.

The mind is a tool developed for our survival. You are not the mind, nor the body but rather one that can perceive the mind and the body. However, one is now constantly wagged around by the mind and its fears and desires. Often we find ourselves trampled in a parade of thoughts and washed around in a flood of emotions. Meditation is simply the process of returning Home to our true nature as the witnessing consciousness in which arise all thoughts and emotions. It is merely the fragrance of Being Human.

Meditation cannot be done, it will happen once we stop doing everything and anything. Now is all that exists, all else is merely grasping at the wind hoping to change things that are generally way beyond our control.

Talking about meditation and whether you believe you can do it or not, is pointless. When we rise above our mind, emotions and body, meditation will happen. Simply listening and following is enough. Meditation is in our very nature, and it happens for us all. Behind all those thoughts is a Witness. You are that Witness.

So please, let it happen.
