Mastic Gum for H. Pylori and Peptic Ulcers

I wanted to share this YouTube video here as it has been really useful in helping me to finally come off Omeprazole permanently.

“How I cured my Acid Reflux and Helicobacter Pylori infection (without antibiotics)” by Rob Ager on Youtube. https://youtu.be/PbRKiH8Jf3M?si=7kVhJGUTLc8Ezmgo

I was diagnosed with hiatus hernia, duodenal ulcers and h. pylori infection a number of years ago and treated with antibiotics and PPIs. Symptoms returned not long after the treatment ended, but test for H Pylori came back negative, so I was encouraged to continue with the PPI, which I reached for to alleviate symptoms. I've been trying to reduce Omeprazole in recent months because of reports linked to nutrient malabsorption, dementia, osteoporosis etc. My symptoms have steadily worsened since then (persistent cough, increasing burning in whole digestive track, and frightening hernia (strangulation) pain in the middle of the night). I tried ACV & baking soda with ceyenne & tumeric in water which helped for a while.

I now believe as Rob Ager says, that the problems won't heal without dealing with the H. Pylori infection first, and that PPIs mask the underlying problem (maybe even providing a conducive environment for h. pylori) as I clearly still have all the symptoms of duodenal ulcers etc. when not taking them! I originally suspected problems with my gall bladder, but it turned out these symptoms are very similar to those created by duodenal ulcers.

I am now several days into taking 4 (250g) Mastika capsules every 8 hours on an empty stomach and (fingers crossed) all the symptoms mentioned have started to ease, so I am determined to continue

Natural Treatment for H. Pylori

Jeff (WI) on 09/11/2024

Hey, dear friends at EC, Please put this up at the top with my other posts because it will give people a real strategy to follow. Love you all.

H pylori got me deeper than c diff : I got past c diff in a few days with black seed oil, Manuka Honey Sac boulardi probiotic etc. H pylori festered in me for a month before it attacked hard.

Now for some deep in advice. You have to kill them, right?.... so how.

Firstly, you can make a hostile environment that they cannot live in. You do that by not letting them spew out the enzyme, urease, which makes your stomach alkaline. They like alkaline and propagate in that environment. So, you keep your stomach in an acid state by drinking a bit of cranberry juice every hour or so and eating some zinc each day and eating vitamin C (simple ascorbic acid) with each meal. The h pylori is so savvy as to keep your stomach, alkaline so your food takes longer to digest and ferments in your stomach and they love that and grow more. This is a good reason to not ever eat too big of a meal. I have been guilty of that for decades as an athlete. Eat many small meals per day.

Now, the doctors offer you a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) simply, Prilosec, which slows the production of stomach acid.. They are treating your symptoms and allowing the antibiotics to work better but allowing the h pylori to increase in numbers. Their strategy is to leave you enough acid to digest food. If you have ulcers, you can take 1/4th to 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 4 oz of water a couple of times a day. This is a "Ted" remedy because with a small amount of water, the baking soda will move quickly through your stomach, give you a bit of relief from ulcers.and move on into your intestine, helping the alkalinity there and putting your body into an alkaline state, which is good for fighting disease. Now, Pepto bismol is a better choice than Tums (which is calcium; do not drink milk because the calcium alkalizes the stomach and you don't want that). Pepto Bismol has bismuth in it and treats the stomach lining and is not just an antacid.

It is a tricky balance but keep the stomach in an acid state as much as possible.

Next, you can stop the h pylori from making and sending the urease, by taking black walnut extract or cranberry (unsweetened) or cedarwood extract or others you can look up. If the pylori cannot excrete the enzyme, and if your stomach stays acid, it will die.

I made the mistake of only trying to kill off the bacteria with, hydrogen peroxide, or silver, or fulvic minerals etc where now it is dieing off daily because I keep it from producing urease and keep the stomach in an acid state.

Finally, you need L reuteri, Sac boulardi and acidophilus and bifidus probiotics and some soothing substances like licorice, slippery elm etc.

OK, so kill it off, make the environment so they cannot live, and shut off their enzyme . Go get "em!!

Vitamin C for H. Pylori

Jeff (WI) on 08/30/2024

OK, this is a brand new study from NIH Pub Med: Vitamin C is preventive and curative for H pylori.

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)

Lugol's Iodine for H. Pylori

Hello dear friends at EC

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

Re: Multiple Remedies Tried for H.Pylori

Katzie (Canada) on 12/13/2022

Manuka Honey beats H.Pylori!! Back in 1994, one University in New Zealand found that Manuka honey was able to stop the growth of H. pylori after just 72 hours with a reasonable oral dosage that could be achieved in the stomach.

Manuka honey kills bacteria through a process called ‘osmosis', where the sugars in the honey attract all the water particles from the infectious bacteria which they need to survive. Hydrogen peroxide can also be found in Manuka honey too, which is recognised by scientists as a strong antimicrobial agent.

A reasonable dose would be 1 Tbsp Manuka just prior to meals, 5-10 mins or so before. Manuka tea is not enough as it does not include to 'entourage effect' of Manuka, which is where the miraculous healing properties either.

The specific brand does not matter, but the strength factor does. It's either UMF Factor or K Factor now. Go for as high a strength as you can afford. If the jar you get is way weaker, take 2 Tbsp instead of just 1. Manuka Honey WILL help you.

Happy Healing!!!!

Turpentine for H. Pylori

Organic Turpentine for H.Pylori/Acid Reflux

I have had long-term acid reflux which I attempted to heal with diet. Nothing seemed to work. I am also a daily user of Organic Turpentine.

I use turpentine for various reasons. Allergies in Middle Tennessee are rated as some of the worlds worst. As an energy healer I find "turps" clears the 3rd eye and decalcifies the pineal. It is very helpful for eliminating parasites. During my covid experience, I felt it lessened the symptoms.

Though I was never formally diagnosed as having h.pylori, I suspected it as the culprit. Consistently taking Pure 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine (organic), I have noticed over time my acid reflux became greatly reduced to the point I can eat anything now.

There is a protocol for taking "turps". This essential oil of pine resin is not to be confused with the synthetic, chemical turpentine purchased in hardware stores. Organic Turpentine is distilled from slash pine. There are different variations of turpentine used all over the world distilled from various pine and fir trees. I digress ...

I have worked up to about 10drops in sugar 3x's a day ... this is less than 1/4 tsp. It has helped keep me allergy free, kept me alive during covid and made my acid reflux a thing of the past.

Google Dr. Jennifer Clark for the turp protocol. Only use organic, 100% Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine you can order from Amazon.

Manuka Honey for H. Pylori Infections of the Throat

Ross (Hawke's Bay, NZ) on 07/11/2021
5 out of 5 stars

If the throat infection is Helicobacter Pylori, a very slow growing tough dual skinned bacteria with a tail, then the Manuka Honey would do the job.

But you need to buy Manuka Honey with a MGO rating (Methyglyoxal) rating of at least 80. The MGO rating is calculated when building the batch. Manuka Honey is made in hives put into the bush by helicopters amongst Manuka scrub.

If you get Acid Reflux, this is an indicator that you will be infected with H. Pylori.

Put a teaspoon of the Manuka Honey in your mouth under your tongue each day for 7 days. It will mix with the mucous in your mouth and spread. I would not take Manuka Honey long term after reading Metabolical by Dr Robert Lustig. Methyglyoxal is a result of Fructose processing in the body - he talks about the Maillard Reaction.

But Helicobacter Pylori is a tough bacteria. It can survive in Hydrochloric acid in the stomach and because it exists on the 'skin', antibiotics have trouble getting to it. Helicobacter Pylori is known for being able to infect the mouth, nose, sinuses, oesophagus all the way down to the stomach. It has trouble surviving in the intestines because other bacteria eat it.

When fixing stomach ulcers (caused by H. Pylori) with the Manuka Honey, I found it also cleared infections in my lungs causing Sleep Apnea and my Hay Fever faded away the next spring.

Good Luck.

To treat H.Pylori (confirmed by an Endoscopic biopsy), I sought out my Naturopath, who prescribed Mastic Gum and Probiotics.

Probiotics were taken 30-60 minutes before breakfast, and at bedtime on an empty stomach.

Mastic Gum (aka Mastica Chios) was 1-2 capsules (400mg each) twice a day, on an empty stomach between meals (for the first 5 days start with one capsule, then raise to two capsules if well tolerated); until the bottle of 120 capsules was finished. T

wo months later, I asked my Physician to requisition the urea breath test, which confirmed I was free of H.Pylori. I never did tell my physician that I did not fill his prescription for two antibiotics plus an acid blocker. I sought to try an alternative to his treatment first, as I had read that low stomach acidity (not to mention antibiotics) can wreak havoc with your gut bacteria, and lead to a plethora of health issues.

Very glad it worked, and that it saved me from taking an unnecessary round of antibiotics!

Ted's H. Pylori (Helicobacter) Curcumin and Oregano Remedy

Jessica.V (Oslo, Norway) on 09/10/2018

Hi! It was said by Ted that taking 1 teaspoon of curcumin plus cumin plus oregano spices x 8 times a day would kill H. Pylori. I want to try this. My question relates to the spices, as Ted said just 1/8 of each, but I am not sure if he meant to say we have to take them in oil form, or just as plain spices. Perhaps Deirdre Layne or someone else knows? I have been through the H. Pilory multiple-remedy pages on earth clinic, whereas people used up to 2 months to get rid of this stomach bacteria but this one about curcumin and spices seemed the most inexpensive and faster remedy. Thank you!

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, Triple Strength Ginger Brew, & 4 Drops of Turpentine cured me of H. Pylori:

I had gastritis for about 10 days. I couldn't sleep very well. I read about diets, the do's & don'ts! I took some Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide 3%. I mixed about a teaspoon in 6 oz of water, & drank it at night. I followed that with a Triple strength Ginger Brew, & went to sleep. I felt much better by morning!

To be sure I was finally cured, & done with H. PYLORI gut pains, & burning, I put 4 drops of turpentine in a 12 oz Triple strength Ginger Brew that morning, & H.Pylori, & Gastritis took the poop train down the track towards the colon, & the last stop was Toilet City! 😊 No more gut issues!!!

Multiple Remedies Helping H. Pylori

Bubbletea (Washington) on 03/10/2018

I have recently been diagnosed with this little bugger. I believe several rounds of strong antibiotics a few years back threw my good bacteria off.Since then I have had lethergy, bloating and brain fog.I am thankful that I dont have the severe issues that others are suffering.I had my physician order the breath test and I tested positive fotr it.She suggested triple therapy along with a PPI. I asked her about other therapies as she is a ND, and she told me about mastic gum, rhubarb tincture, and VIT C. I have not tried the gum or rhubarb yet, as I have been researching the heck out of this. A couple things I have tried for a week now are as follows:

1 I make a cocktail of 3 grams of VITC, 2 TBL CRANBERRY CONCENTRATE, 3 OZ OF ORGANIC PURE ALOE VERA FROM BARBERDARIS MILLER, I then add 8 oz of distilled water to this. I take this before bed on an empty stomach.

2. I take 2 tbl of grounf organic tumeric, along with a little black pepper for absorption, in a big glass of water.

3. I have changed my diet, and have cut out ALL BREADS, PASTRIES, CORN, FLOUR, GLUTEN, WHEAT, PASTA., along with cutting back on sugar as well.

3. I take 2-4 TBL of EVC daily in 2 doses on a spoon topped off with 2-4 drops of organic oil of oregano .IT helps the oil go down better so it does not burn mouth or throat.

4. I am trying to eat more raw foods, and clean sources of meat. I find eating lighter helps, increasing my fiber intake as well.

5 I have a protein smoothie that has probiotics, greens, and vit, omegas in it.

6. I am taking acidophilus 20 billion living cells per 2 tbl serving it also has a prebiotic in it.( now some have issues with dairy I dont seem to) Quantum has a non dairy one

So far, this has been my result, it is very early and I am cautious to say any success as far as true eradication, as I am realistic and know natural things take persistence, patienc, and time.

so here goes.

My brain fog has been ALOT BETTER

I have alot more energy, and desire to do things, as opposes to lack of desire.

my bowels in morning are emptying completely, some days they are somewhat loose and with a strong odor, but I believe this is dieoff, as I am feeling alot better, and my stomach bloating has gone down after only a few days of this protocol. These were my main complaints, so I feel it is helping me feel alot better. So I do plan on adding garlic, ginger to this along with strong polyphenols such as resveratrol, green tea as well.

I just didnt want to add everything at once and thereby cause supplement confusion..lol.

I hope this helps you, and best wishes in your health journey:)

Tackling H. Pylori With Dietary Changes and Remedies

Bex58 (Wales, Uk) on 12/03/2016

Hi, I've had h pylori since childhood, for several years I have been severely affected suffering notable deficiency of b12 and blood iron levels amongst many other symptoms, I have managed to adjust my diet enough to improve and control symptoms well enough to carry out serious research.

I also noticed that when I eat Japanese umboshi plum it instantly makes me feel 'good' inside' my palate also changed quite immediatel. I looked this up and discovered that it is indeed powerful against h pylori.

After thorough research I have ordered ingredients for preparation including but not exclusive of propolis and mastic gum, as I have discovered knowledge to indicate them as being most efficient at eradicating h pylori, at 1 gram 3 times a day with a diet free of carbohydrates and processed foods, after min 2 weeks max 6 weeks for complete treatment.

For extra fool proof I shall include plum and colloidal silver which I have found to help. Also I shall be constructing to teas to help detox liver and kidneys to aid elimination of toxins and reduce die off symptoms and discomfort.

I shall return with updates on recipes and how they work for me, along with any side effects I find in my observations.

Coconut Oil for H. Pylori

Shweta (Denmark) on 07/06/2016
5 out of 5 stars

Hi All,

I feel happy to tell all out there suffering from H-Pylori that its naturally treatable!

please do not get scared or feel depressed by this infection and its presence. I know its hard to say but here is my own experience with fighting H-pylori with all natural way. We dont have to rely on antibiotics which are not even sure 100% to treat it. They subside the infection but do not kill it completely in many cases. I was also reported infected with H-pylori and doctor gave me antibiotics. After just three months I retested positive again! Of course I too become depressed by seeing myself in such a recurring mode. But decided to fight this bacteria with natural ways.

I started taking two spoons extra virgin coldpressed Coconut oil three times a day for a week. After two weeks I increased the intake to three table spoons three times a day empty stomach or one hour before food. I really thanks God for such a miracle food, that it completely disappear all my symptoms in just 2 days!

I am still on the treatment continuation and will update as I will complete two months and get it retested. But looking at the positive and remarkable cure in myself I am sure I will retest negative.

So all out there, dont loose hope and be happy that universe has solutions to all our problems. We just need to try it. Its completely safe. May be some individuals have to start taking coconut oil slowly as it can loosen the bowel. But its still part of detoxification.

I wish you all super health.

Thanks, Shweta

Rosa In Clinton, N.C., Have your mother eat fresh pineapple for pain in stomach, or acid reflux. I was diagnosed with H Pylori (sure I have had it for many many years). It, pineapple is a life saver. Or dole juice in a can if you can't get fresh. Make a smoothie with 1 and 1/2 cups pineapple, 1 bananna, 1/2 c. plain greek yohgurt. drink before meals, It works.

I first found out I have the nasty pylori bacteria about 1.5 years ago I have been trying some tiny changes my diet and some oils that never helped me for long. It helped me for few weeks and then I felt the gas, pains and mental unclearity again. I started reading more and more about it. Trying to figure out how to kick it out of my life for good. For the past 2 months I have tried those 4 things that REALLY makes me feel so much better! I have not checked myself if I have it or not but I just feel good now!
1. I started taking zinc-carnosine twice a day. A little expensive pill (abut $40 although you might able to find it cheaper- depends on the brand). have been taking it for two months now.
2. Coconut oil- two spoon twice a day.
3. acidophilus (good bacteria for stomach)- once a day one pill
4. THE MOSTIMPORTANT- RAW FOOD DIET. I have been a vegetarian for the last 10 year so even for me going completely raw was hard. (no coffee as well).I started educating myself and searching more and more knowledge about this raw food vegan movement. I feel so great, so energized. My digestive system has been amazing for the last month.
I would recommend YouTube about the Raw vegan diet. Watch people such as FreeLee, FullyRawKristina, Megan Elizabeth and more.
I am not a doctor of course and this is personal to my case but I so know how it feel to be in this awful pain. Give it all a 2 months try and I really hope you would feel the difference!
