Dear David: Glad to hear about your fungus cures!
Gastritis is often a helicobacter pylori anyway. Sometimes adding orange oil to your drinking water will kill it. In other conditions adding baking soda can also weaken the helicobacter pylori. What happens is the the stomach acid can vary between 1.5 pH to 7 pH. People assumed that the stomach is always acid. This is not true. It is only acid when it needs to digest the food. Often when you are hungry is when stomach acid rises. Usually when you drink water, the water goes right through the stomach. Whenever you eat food and water, usually the stomach will squeeze the water out before it does any digestion. So the issue of bicarbonates and drinking too much water while eating is acceptable as it will also remove acid pH pockets in the food too and facilitate digestion.
Therefore if you take baking soda 1/4 teaspoon in the morning and 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/2 glass of water before bedtime, then the body's acidity will be alkalize. Alkalizing is important once the blood is alkaline the body immune system rises up strong enough for the body's white blood cells to attack and kill the helicobacter pylori. I have seen many people who are relieved of acid reflux that way.
However, for some people the immune system is weak, or that the body is in autoimmunity, which is based on my own experience, is also a weak immune system so raising the immune system by taking zinc supplements, selenium and garlic would greatly help the condition and kill off the helicobacter pylori. However, fulvic acid also works too in many instances.
I wonder about what you say of Zinc chloride and magnesium chloride...
Taking zinc chloride and magnesium chloride will not negatively affect your condition. Usually the proper dose for zinc is about 25 mg./day taken only for 3 days a week, once every week. If you take too much the skin will dry in which instance it is time to stop. Magnesium chloride hardly cause any side effect except if taken too much it will cause diarrhea. SO taking of 100-250 mg/day and take it only for 3 days out of a week should be more than sufficient. The body needs about 4 days of rest so not taking anything during that period would be just fine.
