Heartburn and ulcers affect people with low stomach acid. Use natural remedies to intensify stomach acid and keep out all manner of unfriendly microbes.

Antibiotics have a good track record for killing Helicobacter pylori. Once gone, the stomach ulcer goes away. So do a lot of the other skin conditions, and there is all round improvement. Often three types of antibiotics are used but this disrupts the beneficial gut flora that need to be replenished afterwards. So far so good but this treatment is expensive and now resistance to antibiotics means the infection may not go away. More antibiotics, please, and these obliterate the friendly gut bacteria that make your essential vitamins and enzymes. They can no longer fortify the immune system either.

What Can We Do to Knock Out Stomach Parasites?

Is there anything else on offer? Yes, there is, and you can do a lot of the treatment with herbs and simple things but especially by observing the blood type diet and avoiding allergenic foods like wheat, milk, or gluten.

Many practitioners of natural medicine are able to track down and electronically destroy pathogens. The Rife apparatus as well as SCIO and similar electronic devices excel at this. Herbal parasite remedies are recommended. With frequent use herbs like goldenseal, boswellia or rhubarb root are best for eliminating Helicobacter pylori. According to research these remedies were 89% successful in treating Helicobacter pylori. Do not take simultaneously with anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin. Propolis tincture taken in 2-3 ml doses a few times a day is very effective; but like most natural remedies, it also takes a few weeks.

Fortify the Terrain

Stomach acid intensity is of vital importance, especially in preventing stomach cancer. Doctors who understand this is will frown upon antacids being used at all because they merely weaken stomach acid. This initiates the malnutrition syndrome whereby all the B vitamins but especially B12 as well as vitamin K and vitamin C are not assimilated. Neither is iron or calcium and some of the key amino acids that form keratin for hair and fingernails.

Betaine HCL with Pepsin. Take Betaine HCL tablets or capsules with pepsin, a digestive enzyme. Begin with one before each meal and not simultaneously with aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs

Digestive enzymes are recommended. Food sources are the best: eg; live sprouts, pawpaw, pineapple, and juicing up fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables. (Some patent enzyme brews contain bits of animals – not for vegetarians.)

Vitamin B5 (Calcium D-Pantothenate) Large doses help to produce high intensity stomach acid: 200-400 mg with each meal. This vitamin also strengthens the adrenals and helps to control gout.

Iodine Supplementation and Salt

The stomach requires iodine to activate chloride from salt to produce more concentrated stomach acid. Drinking 2-3 drops of Lugol’s iodine (10% potassium iodide (SKI) with 5% elemental iodine in 85% water) in a little water or milk every day is usually recommended. Iodine is well absorbed by the skin, and you can also mix it into a skin lotion. 100 drops = 5 ml so you can work out a month’s supply. Alternatively, you can add this amount of iodine to your monthly salt allowance. The salt will go dark and wet but it returns to normal when a bowl of this mixture is left out in the sun for a few hours.

Proper Eating Habits Are Essential for Effective Stomach Acid

Chew food well and slowly. Do not wash it down with big gulps of cold liquid. The ideal drink is cranberry juice as it prevents bacteria from adhering to the gut lining as well as the walls of the bladder. The tannins in green and normal black tea are active against bacteria and improve stomach acid.

Avoid food that does not suit you. Anything you can’t digest is food for parasites or a target for an autoimmune reaction. Wheat or gluten and often dairy products cause the worst of these problems, and it weakens the stomach acid intensity on a continuous basis. This is why asthma often clears up when these foods are stopped: the stomach acid improves.

Wash all fruit and especially salad ingredients or sprouts in salty water. Add a few drops of iodine now that we know it kills bugs. Avoid raw or rare meats, fish and uncooked eggs as they are often contaminated. Cooking at high temperatures will destroy most bacteria and parasites such as tapeworm and liver flukes.
