Can H pylori Infection cause Osteoporosis?

Interesting new findings… Osteoporosis is characterized by reductions in bone density, leading to fractures in vulnerable areas such as the wrists and hips, in addition to degradation of vertebrae. As such it is a serious problem. Theoretically, there are several reasons why H pylori infection could contribute to osteoporosis in some people. H pylori can cause stomach acid levels to decrease over time, leading to poor absorption of calcium and other minerals (this is shown in several studies and discussed in my book, The Hompes Method). Inflammation caused by H pylori infections can stimulate the breakdown of bone by...

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...

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...

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 cancer. Its role in colon cancer is controversial. A Greek study recently explored the relationship between H. pylori infection and...

H Pylori & Gastritis

When my Mother died, aged only 60, her autopsy revealed severe gastritis and bleeding of the stomach and small intestine. She died as a result of septicaemia – an infection developed in her psoas muscle (in the hip, upper leg and lower back), burst and became systemic. It is fairly clear to me that the infectious organisms that caused the sepsis broke into her circulation through her damaged stomach and intestine. This is a serious topic. Gastritis simply means “inflammation of the stomach”. H pylori infection is the leading – but not the only – cause of gastritis. In...
