Preventing H.pylori naturally If you're in an elevator with nine other people, odds are that more than half are infected with helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) - the bacterium that causes the majority of gastric ulcers. Fortunately, most people with this infection don't develop ulcers, but an HSI member named Ed is not so lucky. Ed writes: "I would really appreciate finding a natural solution to curing H. pylori 'cause the antibiotics my doctor has me on have a lot of bad side effects. I need an alternative cure but of course he's trained in traditional medicine that just writes more Rx's." Ed might start by cutting down on his salt intake. According to a study presented at the May 2007 American Society for Microbiology, high sodium levels in the stomach may prompt gene activity in H. pylori that causes the bacterium to become more virulent. But Ed certainly has other options. As an HSI member, Ed can access the HSI Members Alert archives where he'll find an April 2004 article titled, "Three time-tested natural bacteria killers that will leave you antibiotic- and ulcer-free." Ed and other members can access that article at this link: http://www.hsibaltimore.com/articles/hsi_2004oy/hsi_200404.html The HSI Members Alert provides a convenient way to stay informed about all of the most groundbreaking advances in alternative medicine. Find out how you can be among the very first to learn the inside scoop about cutting edge cures that you'll rarely hear about in the mainstream media.
