Later studies confirmed that mastic gum has antibacterial properties.
It also is antifungal too. It is thought that mastic gum works by
causing changes to the h. pylori bacteria so it dies.
On this page you can
find user-submitted home and natural remedies to treat H. pylori.
Some of our more popular cures are:
- Mastic resin
- apple cider vinegar
- aloe vera
- lemon water
- baking soda
- broccoli
- manuka honey
(Brain fog, thyroid,
allergies, fatigue, parasites, and other chronic illnesses are
related to h. pylori).
Allergies:
This is because the h. pylori sort of
“drills” holes in the gut, allowing big food molecules in the
blood stream. This in turn will cause an “allergic reaction”
because the body is always fighting against things (aka. leaky gut).
Swelling, sneezing, itching all have a
purpose- to dilute or get rid of toxins produced by the body
when it reacts to these things. Food, smells, chemicals, toxins,
touching things, breathing- any of these are possible to give a
person with h. pylori problems. Allergies are secondary to h.
pylori.
Look at this
atomic table to figure out the possible “thefts” for each
good mineral. In each vertical column find each good mineral- zinc,
calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, manganese, iron, copper,
selenium, sulfur etc. Then search for “bad” minerals (heavy
metals) in the same column that can potentially take over the
binding spots of the good ones.High aluminum levels are correlated with bacterial infections.
Chronic infection:
H. pylori is a chronic infection. Chronic infections lead to decrease in the conversion of T4 to Active T3 (thyroid hormones- the 3 and 4 represent the # of iodine molecules).When the body is stressed the T3 gets converted to RT3 (reverse t3). That is bad. The thyroid and the whole body are affected form this inablilty to produce thyroid hormone your body can use. The thyroid becomes “hypo” which leads to weight gain, constipation, dry skin, depression, etc. Thyroid is very important and helps regulate hormones too in the body.
learn more about RT3 here. I don’t believe in taking medication to cover up symptoms. Symptoms are the body trying to tell YOU what is wrong, I believe in fixing the ROOT problem.
Dr Amy says. “I
regularly find blastocystis hominis, giardia, cryptosporidium,
candida, and other infections in my clients and sometimes people are
harbouring these organisms as well as H pylori. A long term H pylori
infection and lowering of stomach acid allows these other organisms
to pass safely through to the intestines where they are able to
colonise. These other infections cause many overlapping symptoms –
gas, bloating, headaches, diarrhoea, etc – and are therefore hard
to distinguish from H pylori. I therefore recommend running high
quality stool testing where possible.”
Gut
problems is directly related to histamine levels. Mast cells
(which release histamine) increase with an h. pylori infection.GABA is a neurotransmitter used by the nervous system to transfer messages. It is important to prevent anxiety, restlessness, and brain health.
Vitamins b-6 and B-12 specificlaly are needed to make GABA and since your body is already deficient in them, GABA production slows down. When GABA is out of balance glutamate will be to. GABA gets low, while glutamate gets high.
Mastica
Mastic contains antioxidants and also has antibacterial and
antifungal properties.[4]
A Nottingham
University study published in the New
England Journal of Medicine claims that mastic can cure
peptic ulcers
by killing Helicobacter
pylori bacteria.[5]
(Greek: Μαστίχα) is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). In pharmacies and nature shops, it is called "Arabic gum" (not to be confused with gum arabic) and "Yemen gum". In Greece, it is known as the "tears of Chios," being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets.
Originally a sap, mastic is sun-dried into pieces of brittle, translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after some chewing, it releases a refreshing, slightly pine or cedar-like flavor.
The word mastic is derived from the Greek verb, μαστιχειν (mastichein) "to gnash the teeth", which is the source of the English word masticate.[1] The word mastic is a synonym for gum in many languages.
Mastic shrub
A single drop of
mastic hangs from the underside of this branch on a mastic tree.
In medieval times,
mastic was highly valued by sultans' harems as a breath freshener and
a tooth whitener.
In Morocco,
mastic is used in the preparation of smoked foods. Meska in
Moroccan Arabic more correctly denotes mastic,
the hardened resin from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus),
which is preferred for culinary use in Morocco.
