Peptic Ulcer Symptoms

In 2005 Drs. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine when they proved that Helicobacter pylori bacteria cause peptic ulcers. Since then, it has been shown that H pylori infections are responsible for approximately 80% peptic ulcers and 95% duodenal ulcers (ulcers of the small intestine, also known as the duodenum). Around 10-15% of H pylori infected people are thought to develop peptic ulcers. Given that H pylori infects roughly half the world’s population, it’s clear that peptic ulcers are very common! Peptic Ulcer Symptoms Peptic ulcer symptoms are similar to H pylori...

Stomach Ulcer Symptoms

In 2005 Drs. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for finally proving their theory that H pylori infection causes stomach ulcers (also known as peptic ulcers). Since that time, it has been shown that H pylori infections are responsible for approximately 80% stomach ulcers and 95% duodenal ulcers, which are ulcers of the upper small intestine. It is estimated that approximately 10-15% of people infected with H pylori develop ulcers. Given that H pylori infects around half the world’s population, we can safely say that the infection causes a lot of...

Can Eucalyptus Be Used Alongside Antibiotics in H pylori Treatment?...

Many studies show a positive effect when natural compounds are used alongside triple therapy for H pylori. In fact, in my experience, some herbs and plant extracts are as effective, if not more so, than triple therapy, which is how we have been able to run with a 95% success rate in helping folk overcome their H pylori symptoms. Eucalyptus torelliana leaf extracts are used in Nigerian traditional medicine to treat gastrointestinal disorders, so a team of researchers decided to add Eucalyptus to standard triple therapy too see if it improved H pylori treatment outcomes. Here’s what they found:...

Study Indicates H Pylori Infection Causes Leaky Gut Syndrome!...

“Leaky Gut Syndrome” is a term describing damage done to the stomach and intestinal wall by food, infections, nutrient deficiencies and toxins. Under normal circumstances gut cells are pulled tightly together to prevent molecules leaking from the gut into the blood stream in an inappropriate fashion. The places where these cells are pulled together are called “tight junctions”. When bad bugs like H pylori, or foods such as gluten cause inflammation and tissue damage, the tight junctions can become separated, with tiny gaps appearing between the cells and this is called “leaky gut”. A leaky gut can cause many...

Helicobacter Pylori May Damage Gallbladder Tissue

Russian Academy of Science Suggests Helicobacter Pylori May Damage Gallbladder Tissue I’ve known for some time that H pylori is associated with gallbladder disease. My interest in this association was triggered by the observation that many clients seeking my counsel reported having their gallbladders removed, in addition to having H pylori infections. When I consulted the medical literature, I found a number of studies that appear to support my theory. A Russian team investigated morphological (structural) changes in gallbladder mucous membrane tissue in people suffering with gallbladder disease, with the aim of ascertaining whether H pylori bacteria were present...
