GASTRITIS AND INFLAMMATION IN THE STOMACH AND PYLORUS
11/04/2009: Carolyn from Hobbs, Nm, Usa writes: "Ted, it is so good to see you posting and helping all of us again. Could you please answer one question for me. I have gastritis and inflammation in my stomach and the pylorus (which is the tube that connects the stomach to the dueodenum). I can't get it to heal up and have tried everything. I keep my ph at 7.0 by taking 2 t. ACV and 1 t. honey three times a day before meals as well as taking potassium citrate supplements and mineral supplements. The baking soda makes the gastritis and inflammation burn when I add the baking soda. My stomach will burn badly for an hour or so if I add the baking soda so I don't add it. Do you have any suggestions for me and others like me?
Thanks for your help for all of us.
Carolyn"
11/08/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Carolyn,
A helicobacter pylori, the best approach is the turmeric which is found to be most effective, possibly mixed with cumin and ginger. This is the remedy I will likely used if we do the herbal remedy. The helicobacter pylori for some people is due to a low stomach acid condition, and an acid intestines. Hence it may go back and fourth between duodenum and the stomach, which is the pylorus. To limit their movement a herbal supplement could also be used. I think to get a one day cure, hopefully a turmeric is taken every our so that turmeric pretty much stays in the area long enough to kill the h.pylori. Most bacteria requires longer time than a virus, so I am assuming it's roughly, twice the amount for a virus. Hence it's taken at one teaspoon every hour for a minimum 8 hours, totalling 8 doses. The math isn't precise, but I am trying my best to get this down to a one day cure. I hope this helps, if I were to pursue a non antibiotic course. For some who may pursue an aspirin dose, that's more antiviral, but has some effect against some of the bacteria, which I haven't had a chance to try. However, turmeric seems to do a good job also."
11/09/2009: Carolyn from Hobbs, Nm, Usa replies: "Hi Ted and many many thanks. I did the tumeric you suggested yesterday afternoon and last night. I took 1 teaspoon every hour for 6 hours. When I got up this morning I thought I had not only killed the h pylorie but also the host. ha ha I had a terrible headache from taking so much of it but this afternoon I feel so much better and I am not burning like I always do after I eat. I think the tumeric is really going to help me. Thanks so much for helping so many of us. I really appreciate you taking time to answer my post.
Thanks,
Carolyn"
11/10/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "For Carolyn: the herb I mentioned was a combination of tumeric, cumin and ginger. It prevents their movement of h. pylori. The key is to take it during meals. That's when they move."
11/19/2009: Blessed from Harare, Zimbabwe replies: "Hi Ted, may I have quantities or the ways in which the following may be combined? and consumed?
"the herb I mentioned was a combination of tumeric, cumin and ginger."
I feel pain beneath my left rib cage, down to the centre of my rib cage when i am hungry or fasting or after taking spicy foods, or juices like apple and lemon juice.
i am looking for natural ways to cure this as i experience great pain when i am put on an antibiotic course, i hardly finish any course due to pain.
thank you"
11/19/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "For most pain of the stomach, it could be from bacteria. A 5 drops of clove oil in 30 cc of vodka, taken for 2-3 times 15 minute apart might work. This is the clove shot remedy.
The amount for each of tumeric, cumin and ginger is often consumed at 1/8 teaspoon of each, often taken together. As to the timing, this depends whether the pain occurs during eating or after eating then it is consumed before eating. The condition of the stomach might be other issues, if that is so, then I would likely get a proper diagnosis from a doctor."

01/20/2009: T.P. from Watsontown, Pennsylvania writes: "Rotten egg smelling farts/burps/stomach pain/cramping followed by diarrhea/vomiting. I am at a loss and do not have any remedies for this, doctors are no help and diets and nutrition do not seem to work, this has been an ongoing issue for years and I know I am not alone however the only thing I've heard of is Magnesium supplements but this does nothing for me I'm just looking for someone to help. My gallbladder was removed one month ago and I believed this to be the culprit but now the problem is back again and I've had scans and tests done and they found nothing to be wrong this is not in my head and I'm looking for an alternative to the doctors who seem to know nothing pls help me find some answers I don't know where else to turn."

ANEURYSM AND NERVE DAMAGE
05/22/2007: D from California writes: "I found this website when my stomach recently flared up with burning pain (I'll call it gastritis) and some heartburn. I have started using some of these cures, but I ran into some difficulties and I would very much appreciate your help for my specific case. I'll be very brief with my health history. Because of a bad auto accident in my teens, it was discovered in my thirties that I had an aneurysm. After surgery for the aneurysm I was told to take an aspirin a day to avoid possibility of a stroke. The aspirin gave me stomach pain so I was told to take ecotrin because it is enteric coated. Then I had stomach pain plus abdominal pain. I was able to discontinue aspirin and ecotrin after about 1 month, but my whole gastrointestinal tract was adversely affected and I have had difficult digestion for years since then. I eat a bland diet and avoid a number of foods. Years after the stomach problems started I had terrible pain with sitting (burning pain mostly in buttocks, sit bones, urethera) and standing (burning on bottoms of feet), and after much searching for relief I was diagnosed with pudendal nerve entrapment (pudendal nerve enervates the pelvis). I continued searching for relief, and finally decided to have pudendal release surgery in 2003. Since the surgery I still have had burning pain with sitting and standing, and spend almost all of my time laying down. I would appreciate if you could suggest what to do and explain a little bit about why. It helps me when I understand some basics about what is going on. Also just 3 questions: 1. What do you think would be a gentle effective colon cleanse for my sensitive body? If you think I should do progressive steps, let me know at least the first few steps. 2. If I try the ACV and baking soda again, does it matter how much water I take with it? 3. Is it equally beneficial to add ACV to foods such as salad or vegetables?"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Denise: First off, most pH papers, even a good quality one tend to measure the urine pH to excess alkalinity, and yes I once use them and had to quit using those paper as it was inaccurate on the readings. It was off too much. For example, if the urine pH was suppose to be 7, the paper readings were 8. Therefore, a cheap pocket pH meter are relatively more accurate. The second issue is sometimes looking at pH for a short term, especially when you are ill are difficult since pH reflects the body's inability to fight off certain microbes so the pH tends to be relatively "stubborn" and contradictory. Whenever stubborns are the issue and gastrointestinal tract damage is a problem, taking some aloe vera oil, 1/8 teaspoon of magnesium chloride, and drinking green tea (no sugar, no fructose, and no milk) will kill the unknown organism, since both magnesium and green tea are broad spectrum in its action and the aloe vera oil, maybe 1/4 teaspoon or aloe vera juice any amount will help in the healing of the gastointestinal lining. Further healing can be helped with vitamin B5 (panthenol 500 mg) and B8 inositol, as well as vitamin C sodium ascorbate.
The reason why vitamin C is seen as beneficial is the past issues of aneurysm, which is often a copper deficiency (cocoa is high in copper), and tissue healing is related to both aneurysm, and gastrointestinal healing, of which vitamin C helps the body absorbed the copper's bioavailability. In your case blackstrap mollasses, perhaps 1-2 teaspoon a day with water, and or taking some cocoa unsugared no milk willl increase the copper, and perhaps some manganese. Some vitamin B complex is needed here to help in the healing such as vitamin B complex taken 3 times a week would have a favorable effect in some cases on the pH issue.
The hungry binge is a sign that your body is malnourished, and that is quite normal as the body tries to rebuild itself and it takes about 3 weeks before the body settles in. This happens quite often in long term sickness in which adrenal exhaustion can trigger the problem and a remedy to help is often licorice extract 1 tablespoon.
Your case seems to be unique on the issue of problems of lack of nutritional balance, as being the cause and the body's excess toxicity which might be help by removal of some heavy metals such as chlorella, chinese parsley, taken at about 5 days out of 7 days. Under your description of aneurysm, the body would have responded better with the lime and baking soda formula, which is 8 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime and about 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. It often takes about 2 weeks for the body to have sufficient bicarbonates but I am not sure about the paper pH readings at all, it seems to give false figures. I prefer an electronic pH meter. If I would have had that years back, it would save me a lot of time from misreading of figures.
Assuming the body has sufficient levels of alkalinity, just assuming than what could be other problems. For one thing glandular imbalance, and heavy metals, being the frequent issue. Glandular imbalance can easily be dealth with twice or three times a week iodine foot paining or taking some kelp supplements. I have noticed that pH remains quite normal and pH control became much more in line with both the green tea (no sugar, no milk, no fructose) and the iodine supplements. Those two things help me the most in furthering allowing the body to attain an pH control better. Apparently a high fungus, microbial loads causes and suppresses glandular function, causing the imbalance, lack of iodine to kill these microbes can bring glandular problems not just to the thyroid, but the thymus, adrenal, and other places. I suspect those to be the issue.
Aneurysm is something to be taken seriously of, it can kill you. Therefore get a hair mineral analysis and see what metals are over the hill and what minerals are near nonexistent in your body. The most common at least for me is lack of copper, magnesium, iodine, and maganese.
Now for your questions:
1. What do you think would be a gentle effective colon cleanse for my sensitive body? If you think I should do progressive steps, let me know at least the first few steps.
I can help clear some toxins, but it may lead to constipation. Getting a simple diarrhea with milk of magnesia -(magnesium hydroxide with no aluminum) from common over the counter medicine at least for me are better. The alkalinity of the magnesium will modify colon pH problems as well as provide some magnesium to the body.
2. If I try the ACV and baking soda again, does it matter how much water I take with it?
Water is added to reduce the concentration and hence irritation to the sensitive stomach. That's why water was used. The biggest mistake of using aspirin, whether in tablet form or enteric is the concentration is too strong. In the olden days, they dissolve aspirin in a glass of water, that becomes so diluted, it doesn't effect the sensitive stomach lining. For example if you take pure acid, it can kill you, but if diluted with sufficient water, it has almost no noticeable effect. Add just enough water that it doesn't irritate the stomach is the real issue.
3. Is it equally beneficial to add ACV to foods such as salad or vegetables?
Yes, and so is adding a small amount of baking soda."
