H Pylori Eradication May Improve Migraines, 2004 Study Suggests...

H pylori infection is, of course, known as the bug that causes heartburn, stomach ulcers and other unpleasant digestive symptoms. However when we delve into the scientific and medical literature, we see that this common infection can cause a plethora of symptoms outside the gut. H pylori infection causes an inflammatory reaction in the stomach and intestine. This inflammatory reaction can spill over into other areas of the body, triggering symptoms in potentially any or every area of the body, including the neurological system. In 2004, a team of researchers from Parma, Italy, conducted a study with 80 patients...

H Pylori Symptoms – H Pylori & Cancer

What Role Does H pylori Infection Play in Colon Cancer? In terms of stomach cancer, The World Health Organization classifies H pylori as a “class I carcinogen”, which means the bacteria are in the same classification as smoking and asbestos are for lung cancer. Furthermore, the general consensus is that H pylori infection is the number one risk factor for stomach cancer. It defies belief how some doctors pass off H pylori as non-problematic. Some studies indicate relationships between H pylori and other types of cancer, leading scientists to become interested in the role of the infection in colon...

Do “Helicobacters” play a role in Crohn’s Disease?...

It is, of course, well known that H pylori causes gastritis, stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers. We also know that H pylori symptoms extend well beyond the digestive tract. For example, if you have read my book or other articles on this website, you’ll know that H pylori infection is associated with a wide variety of complaints such as liver disorders, migraine, fatigue and heart disease. Given that members of the Helicobacter family colonize the intestinal mucus layer, it has been suggested they may play a role in Crohn’s disease (CD), which is a nasty inflammatory bowel disorder. This...

Helicobacter Pylori Is Present In People Who Have Gallbladder Disease...

Several studies reveal the presence of H pylori in gallbladder tissue but it’s not clear whether the H pylori itself causes gallbladder disease. H pylori can cause severe damage in the stomach and intestine of infected individuals, leading to peptic and duodenal ulcers, as well as gastric cancer. It is plausible that the infection can also damage gallbladder tissue. Furthermore, H pylori infection can cause stomach acid levels to drop, which may have a domino effect on the hormonal signals optimizing gallbladder function. As such, a sluggish gallbladder may develop, leading to inflammation and gallstones. I have personally noticed...

Bismuth is an Effective Addition to H pylori Treatments...

Bismuth is a mineral used in some H pylori quadruple therapy treatments and natural anti-H pylori products, including Bio-HPF by a company called Biotics Research Corp and Formula SF-734 by Thorne. A recent study proved its effectiveness. The aims of the study were to determine the ability of bismuth to improve H pylori eradication and reduce the intensity of H pylori-induced gastritis. 90 patients with H Pylori-associated chronic gastritis were randomized into three groups. 30 patients in the first group were treated with omeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromicyn for 10 days. 30 patients in the second group took the same...
