Helicobacter Pylori is a type of bacteria that live in the digestive tract. This bacteria can cause ulcers, which are sores in the stomach lining or the small intestine.
It has even been shown to cause gastric cancer in some cases.
“Modern treatment for H. pylori infection focuses on total eradication using so-called “triple therapy,” which includes two antibiotics and an acid-blocker, says Sayer Ji, founder of GreenMedInfo. “Treatment of this kind, however, often results in antibiotic-associated imbalances in the gut flora, as well as driving antibiotic-resistant strains of H. pylori which can cause more serious forms of recurrence,” he adds.
There have been clinical studies showing the potent effects of three natural substances against H. Pylori.
Let’s take a look at the 3 natural treatments for Helicobacter Pylori Infection:
1. Black seed: This potent seed, which is also called black cumin, has been the subject of many clinical studies as has shown endless benefits. A study published in The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology showed that those who consumed 2 grams of black seed combined with an acid blocker was as effective as triple therapy when treating H. Pylori infection.
2. Broccoli sprouts: Sprouts are live food and are nutritional powerhouses. A study published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences found that 7 of 9 patients who consumed broccoli sprouts twice a daily for a week were found negative for H. Pylori infection.
3. Probiotics: A study published in the journal Inflammation and Allergy Drug Targets showed that 13 out of 40 patients who were treated with a probiotic strain had complete eradication of H. pylori associated dyspepsia. The patients received the following strains: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacteriuym brevis, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobaccilus delbrueckii bulgaricus subspecies.
