Chronic gastritis h pylori treatments needed

Posted By Bob (Pristina, Kosovo) on 05/14/2009

Chronic Gastritis: To be honest I have never tried any native herbs. I have been having stomach problems since 1990. Tried all sorts of drugs but nothing happened. In 2006, I was tested positive for H Pylori, and had it treated. In 2008 I was diagnosed of inflammation of the oesophagus, GERD and deudonal problem but no ulcers. I was treated again for the H.pylori,this time with antibiotics, and placed on omeprazole for three months. Few months down the line everything woke up again. Just last week I have been told that the GERD is now chronic, and prescribed CONTROLOC, GASTAL and SPASMEX, and the doctor is also recommending another endoscopic and colonoscopy examinations. Worst of all I am now feeling constant pain in my throat. Last night I decided to check for alternative treatments. The information on the website is great. Will have to try one at a time and will get back to you with what works best for me. But what do you advise- do I stop taking the RX drugs. By the way, I don't smoke neither take alcohol, and I stopped eating spicy food since May last year but the problem can't just go away. Sometime I only feel better after standing up. Good thing though I don't vomit but I am not going to tiolet as I used to. PLEASE ADVISE!

Hello everybody, Does there exist a sound remedy against H. Pylori infection? I have tried Hpac, the matula tea, manuka honey, mastic gum and nothing seems to help. Thank you.

Hello! I am sorry that you have that nasty h pylori. It is said that half the planet is suffering of it. Many years ago I had an ulcer and although I hadn't heard of h. pylori at the time (in the 60's) I am now sure it was involved. Here is what helped me: a lot of fresh onion juice, (I poured it on my soup). Garlic and rough gray sea salt in a mortar pounded to a paste a bit of oil, I used olive oil then, but, you can use coconut oil for antibacterial property. This paste is to be consumed WITHIN half an hour. (the crushing releases the components, but it kind of loses its property pretty fast. A friend's father who was a pharmacist used to say ). The proportions are small but often. : 2 large cloves 1/8 of salt enough oil to make the paste consistency 4 to 6 time during the day. I did that in the week end for 2 or 3 days for obvious reasons. I also drank a tea of calamus root soaked in COLD water (not cooked) overnight from which I drank a mouthful before AND after my 3 meals, NOT more. That, I kept on taking for a long time, I don't remember, but, 3 months maybe. Also I ate mild food like green beans, carrots, beets, turnips, leeks. I ate meat (today you need to look only for grass fed beef) once or twice a day , 100gr freshly ground and barely cooked a few seconds on each side to make it easy on the digestion. I drank another tea cold (not cooked) this one was for the liver/gallbladder: mistletoe but that was along the day maybe 3 - 4 cups. If your tea is cut: you count 1 tsp per cup, if it is powdered: you count 1/4 per cup of non-chlorinated water. Now, that what I did in those days and it worked. Today, before doing to all that, I would use turmeric for a couple of days; 1 tsp every hour a pinch of baking soda while awake and a soft, almost liquid, pudding of slippery elm in between to soften the stomach's walls. Aloe may be good to for that too. Anyway you can combine. The idea is to kill the bacteria and virus then soothe the walls of the digestive system, while making sure that everything is moving out. I believe turmeric kills and soothes, but I think for the movement, you need the veggies. I hope that gives you some ideas. In Europe there were several herbalist stores where you got advice. Now, we have the net and ec! Look into Austrian Maria Treben -she even wrote a book full of knowledge and anecdotes. I hope you get well fast. PEACE!

Labes:

Did you try any of these here:
Http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/ulcer.html

One answer NOT there is in this short pdf:

Http://www.donaldmiller.com/JPandS Extrathyroidal Benefits of Iodine.pdf

Under "Other functions of Inorganic Iodine":

... And protects against abnormal growth of bacteria

In the stomach, Helicobacter pylori in particular. Inorganic iodine is that unbound to any life carbon, like in foods (seafoods, especially). In other words, LUGOLs solution (5% has 6. 25 mg Iodines/drop) or Iodoral tablets (12. 5 mg per tablet = 2 drops of 5% LUGOLS). Or SSKI= saturated solution potassium iodide. Any budget drugstore no-name Iodine tincture will be OK, too, BUT make sure it's NOT isopropylalcohol-based! (Ethyl alcohol or water-based only. )

You must then adjust oral dosage for how "watery" it is relative to LUGOLS or SSKI.

Here, one well known doc uses 100 milligrams/day in the "boost" phase! :
Http://www.scribd.com/doc/1959949/IODINE-Solution-to-Healthproblems

100 mg would be 16 drops/day of the 5% LUGOLS. Stomach lining cells normally have among the highest concentration of iodine of any in the body! The obvious reason is to kill any bacteria in the food even before the Ig (immunoglobulins) go after it. This would include the H. Pylori already living there.
