H. Pylori & Heart Disease

Article One – Introduction Heart disease and cancer are among the leading causes of death in the developed world. Even when they don’t kill, these diseases can still cause an enormous amount of suffering. I’ve read well over one hundred studies linking H. pylori infection to heart disease and stroke but for some reason this information never makes it into the media. Instead, things like saturated fat and cholesterol are incorrectly blamed. I’ve also read an enormous amount of literature about how dental/oral infections, heavy metals, nutrient deficiencies and other controllable factors are linked with heart disease (and other...

A List of “Uncommon H. Pylori Symptoms”

Most medical websites provide a list of H pylori symptoms that refer only to the digestive system. Most doctors are aware that H pylori causes digestive symptoms such as: Heartburn Acid reflux Bloating Chest pain Nausea Vomiting However, there is a notable lack of acknowledgement in doctors’ clinics regarding H pylori symptoms outside the digestive system.

A Costa Rican study examined the extent to which different H...

H Pylori, Celiac Disease & Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children...

It’s rare to find studies that examine the health effects of both H pylori infection and celiac disease. Both conditions can cause the same, or similar symptoms, including bloating, heartburn, weight loss, irritable bowels, diarrhea, headaches and nausea. Celiac disease is a serious condition in which dietary gluten (in wheat, rye, barley) triggers an inflammatory reaction in the small intestine. H pylori causes an inflammatory reaction in the stomach, so it’s easy to see how these conditions cause similar symptoms. It is believed that 50% of the world’s population carries H pylori. Conservative estimates suggest that 1% of the...
