Why? Vitamin C stops H pylori from depositing it's enzyme, urease, into the stomach, strengthens the collagen layer of the stomach wall so it the bacteria cannot attach and strengthens the immune system. The study showed that 5000 mg of Vita C, in a month killed off the bacteria in 100% of participants that took it and the control group had zero improvement. 5000 mg is too much for long term use as it will cause kidney stones because of the undigested remains that float about and lodge in the kidney. But at 500 mg, twice as many were healed as without. I have taken 5000 mg in the past for virus etc and could feel the acid build up so that was likely too much for the long term. Linus Pauling won the Nobel Prize and said to take 3000 mg daily and 10,000 mg when sick. You decide how much but these studies are very compelling. For me, I am adding it in, alternating with fulvic minerals, some Manuka Honey, baking soda etc, all in sequence with an hour in between. Pylori is going away quickly... Read all of earthclinic and form your own regimen. You will win, just leave an hour between each remedy. There is a delicate balance here because the stomach needs to be more acidic and the intestine, more alkaline. Therefore, baking soda alternating with vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

I usually never write about a natural healing substance without extensive research but I'v got to throw this one in the mix right away. Here is my post:
Iodine kills 9 strains of h pylori in 30 seconds
A 2012 study found that iodine killed all 9 strains of h pylori in 30 seconds and another in 2016 offered a similar result and there are more. They are all medical and you can search them easily.
I just took a few drops on my tongue, held it under the tongue for a few seconds and then swallowed it and in minutes got that total burning feeling of the h pylori getting routed and smashed, just like when I take a teaspoon of fulvic minerals. I've done up to 12 drops in a glass of water when healthy and it did nothing but give me energy . ( 12 drops is too much. ) Just start slowly with 2 and then 3 drops in water. That's all I've got for now although the studies are very impressive. Keep fighting and use all of earth clinic. You will win
"The claim that iodine kills all 9 strains of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) within 30 seconds is not entirely accurate, according to available studies. While iodine, particularly in the form of povidone-iodine, has shown effectiveness against H. pylori, the specifics of its impact—such as killing all strains within 30 seconds—are not widely documented in the scientific literature.
Studies have shown that various antiseptic solutions, including povidone-iodine, are effective in reducing or killing H. pylori under certain conditions, particularly in the oral cavity and on surfaces. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on the strain, environment, and concentration used. Research on this topic often focuses on the use of iodine in mouth rinses, where some solutions have shown efficacy against fast-growing strains of H. pylori with short incubation times, but not necessarily within 30 seconds for all strains (Research Square) (BioMed Central).
Therefore, while iodine is effective against H. pylori, the specific claim of killing all 9 strains in 30 seconds seems to be an oversimplification and may not fully represent the complexities found in scientific studies."

My three fold remedy for H. Pylori is as follows:
1. Three tablespoons of high ppm colloidal silver morning and night on empty stomach. The silver solution will kill the infection.
2. DGL tablets fifteen minutes after the silver. Three per dose twice a day. This is a licorice extract and is effective in healing.
3. Aloe Vera fifteen minutes after the DGL. Take five tablespoons per dose, twice a day. All three on an empty stomach. That way the effect in the stomach is maximized.
Do this for two months. Next, while doing this, consume no coffee of any kind (get off acidic drinks) and no carbonated drinks. No acidic foods like tomatoes, chili, hot peppers while the two months of treatment is going on. Over thirty years of recommending this remedy I've never seen it fail. By the way, my silver is home made using filtered water and a few grains of salt to allow for conductivity. In minutes you have a cloudy solution. I dilute with distilled water until nothing can be see in the glass container and no metallic taste is apparent. That diluted content is about 200 ppm silver atoms to a million water molecules.

I have suffered h.pylori for almost a year. It caused me to lose weight drastically where my body was starving itself because everything I ate wasn't digesting. The first time I thought I cured it by taking black seed oil 2x's day with manuka honey (1 tsp each) for a week and my symptoms seemed gone but came back after a few days. Manuka honey was too expensive so I stopped that regimen. I thought I cured h.pylori (by accident) bc I was curing a parasite infection that I thought was causing my weight loss. I bought a black walnut, wormwood, and complex online. Tried it for 2 weeks and one week off and two weeks again (2 to 3 squeezes 3times a day). All my symptoms of h.pylori were gone except I still wasn't gaining weight. Then about 5 months later I got the symptoms of h.pylori again and got tested to confirm. This time I decided to go full war in this thing. I first started with the black walnut complex with a pinch of borax regimen for two weeks.. no change. so I add 15 drops of oregano oil to it. I only went up to 11 days bc I tested my urine and I saw something bilirubin showing on the strip so I stopped (a high dose of oregano oil can wreak havoc on your liver so you have to be careful) in water 3 times day first thing in the morning and waited half hour to drink my tea. In my tea I put 1 tsp black seed oil, 2k mg vitamin c powder, 1 tsp turmeric, pinch of black pepper, 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt, 1 tsp of local raw honey from a private hive, 1 tsp moringa powder (for nutrition) in warm water 2x's daily on empty stomach. I waited half hour and ate my regular anti-inflammatory diet with 1 cup of real cranberry juice twice daily. I started this on the 3rd week bc I still wasn't getting results and after the cranberry.i saw improvements within a day. So I continued with all my regimen and decided to add 2 tbs of fulvic acid to my cranberry juice. I'm very lucky bc I can buy it in N.Mexico not far from me, where it's the only place it comes from. Btw I stopped the h. Salt bc I was taking fulvic acid instead. I may go back to h. Salt layer down the road. Then a few days later I ate yogurt or kefir twice a day with 2 pills of Mastic gum, 2 pills of B-complex, 2 pills of probiotics plus 1/16 tsp of real aspirin powder and 1/16 tsp of lysine powder and a few drops of chlorophyll (for my RA) twice a day. I don't like pills so I just emptied the capsules and stirred them into my yougurt/kefir.
Within a few days my h.pylori symptoms were 90% gone. I then added 1/8tsp of powdered dgl in my blackwalnut, wormwood complex twice daily. To me, the dgl worked in one day. Before, I had a few days of gurgling and bloating a gas and feeling like I need to use bathroom. Withing a few hours of dgl (first dose) I had diareah and my stomach and stools have been fine since. I felt like my body and the h.pylori were battling and my body won. It's been about a week now and no more nausea, bloating, gas, burping, etc from h.pylori. I'm going to do this entire regimen for 2 to 3 months and then get tested.
Oh, I wanted to add, I take 1/8 tsp borax throughout the day either with my regimen or just with water. I also added ph water with my black walnut complex regimen about a week ago and I think that helped ( I test my urine first thing in am and it's 6.5 still trying into increase bt 7 to 8). So overall, I think what really worked for me quickly was the real cranberry juice twice daily, the mastic gum and the dgl. I'm still going to continue everything except the oregano oil. I'm taking milk thistle to heal my liver just in case I overworked it by taking such a high dose of oregano oil..I may go back to it on a few weeks to see how I feel. You know what's the weirdest of all this. The next day after my first dose of dgl, my body was so hungry (having h. pylori, I had little appetite) but my body craved so much food that I haven't had in over a year (pizza, lasagna, just heavy home cooked hot meals my body just wanted to eat and eat). I didn't give into it and stuck with my anitinflamnatory diet. Another thing, my joint pain from R arthritis is 95% gone! Not sure why but I'm finally sleeping moving around just being pain-free from suffering debilitating pain for almost a year! I think killing the bacteria may have stopped the gas that it was releasing which caused my joint pain? Not sure but I'm happy. Hope this helps. I'm still going to get tested in a few months and see if it worked. I also wanted to add that when I was losing weight drastically for 5 month, an ND suggested Himalayan salt 2 times daily to kill whatever was causing my drastic weight loss. I started 1/4 tsp in warm water twice daily and within a few days I started gaining weight. I went from 92 to 106 within 2 months. My weight has remained steady. This was after I thought I cured my h.pylori the first time. Even though I got it again, it has not effected my weight bc I tackled it immediately as I felt symptoms. I'm sorry this is so long. I just wanted to be specific and detailed so it might help someone else.
This is a horrible bacteria that can drain you physically and emotionally.

After being told I would have to live on antacids, I thought this is not the way to live.I noticed the food I ate was the culprit and caused great disomfort. I also noticed if I was stressed or tired, I also increased my stomach discomfort and pain. After a lot of trial and error, I found the best thing you can do is, eat a diet with a PH balance higher in Alakaline. A simple thing like and apple settled my stomach even in the middle of the night.I looked up which foods contain acids and which ones where alkaline. I bought a ph test paper at a local health store to determine what my PH level was. This test will determine if you are too acidic. If you are too acidic you will have have a low PH under 7.0. When the Ph balance is over 7.0 or higher you will notice your stomach pain is relieved. I have no stomach pain when mine is 7.5, but if it goes lower because of stress or the wrong food I eat.
My advice is to look up acidic and alkaline food groups, buy the ph test paper and hopefully you will see it will help your life too.

I have gotten relief from d-mannose, particularly for the cramping. For me, the cramping stops immediately. And Omega 3 Fatty Acids seem to be very beneficial in a general sense.
Here's something I just found on-line and decided to come back here to let everyone know in case you're interested.
From cancertutor.com, a very reliable website:
Ellagic acid is anti-bacterial, [it] destroys the H. pylori bacteria responsible for stomach ulcers. Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic constituent found in 46 different fruits and nuts, like grapes, pomegranate, red raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and walnuts.
This non-profit site: http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/EllagicAcid.html discusses ellagic acid and has links to other sites that discuss it. Linked vendors are identified as such, but tend to be reputable.
I'm going to try it and get back.

Over the years I helped many people to understand H.Pylori and what to do with it ( or not to do) Some were so impressed that they planted seabuckthorn shrubs in their gardens. Of course this is just one part of the “life style”, not protocol, change. Over the years I posted several times here on EC. But people don't read it and just want a quick fix.

The length of time that I have used natural antibiotics has varied greatly depending on the bacteria and how well the body is responding to treatment.
It seems that with H. Pylori, it can take a while. I would probably want to use turmeric for at least a month. Maybe the honey for just 2 weeks since it is pricey. You will probably be able to judge for yourself how you are responding and if you should continue longer.

I am stacking several supplements after having severe stomach bloating particularly in the evening. I have been diagnosed with H. Pylori in the past and I belive it has come back. I have been adjusting for the past two weeks and I am now starting to feel some relief...by adding oregeno oil, green tea, cranberry and Pepto Bismol after meals. Last night was the first night without bloating in a long time. Here is what I'm doing:
Personal Gut Healing + H. pylori Support Notes
(Updated protocol — HCl removed due to irritation)
Mastic Gum
• Directly antibacterial against H. pylori (damages its cell wall).
• Reduces gastritis and promotes mucosal healing.
• May lower stomach pain, reflux, and nausea.
• Use: Take on an empty stomach twice daily (morning and bedtime). Wait 20–30 min before food.
Pepto-Bismol (Bismuth Subsalicylate)
• Kills and suppresses H. pylori directly.
• Prevents bacteria from attaching to stomach lining.
• Coats and protects gastric mucosa; reduces inflammation and discomfort.
• Use: After meals and optionally at bedtime (up to 4×/day). Take 10–15 min after eating.
DGL Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice)
• Protects and heals stomach lining; increases mucus production.
• Soothes gastritis and reflux; may mildly inhibit H. pylori.
• Use: 20 minutes before meals. Chewable tablets or powder form.
Marshmallow Root
• Coats and soothes irritated gastric tissue.
• Promotes mucosal repair and reduces burning/discomfort.
• Use: Between meals or before bed. Separate from medications/supplements by at least 1 hour.
Cranberry Extract
• Prevents H. pylori from adhering to stomach walls.
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; may reduce recurrence.
• Use: With meals (capsule or unsweetened juice).
Berberine
• Potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial; targets H. pylori, yeast, and harmful gut bacteria.
• Anti-inflammatory and supports healthy gut microbiome.
• Use: With meals, 2–3× daily (usually 500 mg). Cycle: 4–6 weeks on, 1–2 weeks off.
Oregano Oil (Enteric-Coated)
• Strong antimicrobial and antifungal; disrupts H. pylori biofilms.
• Synergistic with berberine and bismuth.
• Use: With meals (never on an empty stomach). Take once or twice daily for 2–4 weeks, then cycle
off.
Green Tea (EGCG)
• Antioxidant and mildly antibacterial; reduces H. pylori activity.
• Helps reduce oxidative stress in gastric mucosa.
• Use: 1–2 cups daily, preferably between meals.
Fiber (New Addition)
• Nourishes beneficial gut bacteria; binds and eliminates bacterial byproducts.
• Promotes regular bowel movements and detox support.
• Use: Add slowly, away from supplements by 1 hour.
Probiotics (New Addition)
• Rebuilds gut microbiome after antimicrobial phase.
• Reduces H. pylori activity and improves gut healing.
• Best strains: Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 or ATCC PTA 6475, Saccharomyces boulardii.
• Use: 30–60 min before meals or before bed.
Notes and Observations:
• Betaine HCl removed due to stomach upset.
• Focus: soothing mucosa, suppressing H. pylori, and supporting microbiome rebalance.
• Avoid taking Pepto-Bismol, mastic gum, and marshmallow root together — space by 30–60
minutes.
