I always hated taking medicines. More than a year ago, I got H Pylori, likely from the water here but you can also get it from kissing another. Found this out after having my first endoscopy and colonoscopy done, where they saw inflammation in my stomach. I had been having gastritis for over a year, so wanted to find out why. They prescribed the usual 2 antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor antacid. The treatment messes up your gut microbiome so I've been doing all I can to get it back to normal. H Pylori affects up to 70% of the world's population but only about 20% have trouble.

But did the treatment cure your H Pylori?

So far so good. Still have some symptoms but not near before. They're supposed to re test a few weeks after the treatment but the hospital I went to doesn't do the breath test , only the endoscopy, so I'll either have to wait 2 months to get an appointment for that (talked to doctor last week), or go to another hospital an hour plus away and pay for the breath test, which I'm considering. I've always eaten healthy but now I'm using more Collagen, Probiotics, yogurt, kimchi and still taking Omeprazole to keep the stomach acid down.

I never said bleach. Some misquoted him, but disinfectant is pretty much the same thing. Both poisonous to a human.  Don't call someone you don't know a fool, because that actually makes you the fool. I'm not political. I sit back and see them self destruct. Trump has said many stupid things over the years because a narcissist with a huge ego cannot be wrong, at least to them. Trump said, "I know everything about Covid,", when it first came out, and didn't close the borders immediately until something was done. It cost many lives. He looks to others for answers, and fits them in, letting others think it was his ideas. When someone has such a huge ego, they talk without thinking, with a little bit of knowledge on a subject from something they either read or heard, and then puts it out there without facts to back it. He does this a lot.

Really, all he is doing is following his master, Trump.

I was lucky because the antibiotics and the PPIs cured mine in 2 to 3 weeks, even though I had to take 2 different antibiotics, clarithromycin and amoxicillin as I recall.

That's how long I took the treatment for. Lucky you didn't have continuing symptoms. I guess it matters how long you have it for. I wish I took the probiotics while I was doing the treatment, as it seems to help. I've heard it can take up to and over  a year to get your gut to heal, but I'm still going to get the breath test to make sure. i don't want to do the secondary treatment so hope it's just the microbiome that's a little off from the first.

It helps to read up on things before a decision is made. Your opinion is noted, although way off. Facts are facts, and research online can help you find facts about disease control or eradication. Of course not all diseases are infectious, but many are. The flu, measles, HIV, Strep, Covid, and others. Some, like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimers, aren't infectious. I'm not sure where you get your information from, but it's the wrong source, as opinions mean nothing.............https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17724-infectious-diseases

I think that he gets all his information from the fountain of all knowledge, Trump, who as every Trump supporter knows, is never wrong.

I hear you.  I have taken too many courses of antibiotics, so after the third recent time of a very “loose” stomach, found a holistic doc here.  Slowly with acupuncture, nutrient therapy, pro/prebiotic treatment and now visceral manipulation are things slowly turning around.  
I know if I had gone to the usual hospital a new antibiotic treatment would have been suggested.  But that’s what’s been the cause of the problem.  Gut dysbiosis (spelling?), is not a child’s play.  Am looking forward to getting all in order.  These things take time, that’s why allopathic medicine is so popular, gets rid of symptoms in a couple of days - only for the same problem to  one back and even worse.  The gut and the lungs seem to have a connection, because I find my lungs stronger from this treatment too.  
it is an incredible feeling when you find a true “healer”, you can actually feel the benefits in your whole body, not only the temporary lack of unpleasant symptoms.  Patience, understanding and the willingness to listen to your body is key!

Wish I had that type where I'm staying here. Just a government hospital and a few doctors who do the same things. This is another reason I wish I ws still back in Texas, as the number of holistic healers there is enormous. Found out a lot about how the gut and brain interacts, which isn't something you would normally think of. Stress also affects your gut, no matter how good you eat. 

 

Funny thing, when I went back to Texas last November to visit and hunt, my stomach was perfect the whole month I was there, which leads me to believe the stomach is healing and something here is the problem. I know the water can be bad, along with chicken I eat a lot, which is left out all day in trays at Lotus. I thought for a long time that coffee  might be the problem, as I know it can affect the gut, but when I was in Texas, I drank more coffee and tea every day, and had no trouble at all. Many things affect the gut, and everyone has stomach trouble at times, because even though we think we're eating perfectly, we can be allergic to things we've eaten all our lives, and water can be a problem, along with local foods.  The day I returned here is when the problems started again.

I know that in Texas there are tons of holistic docs.  Many of them I see on webinars and docuseries etc.  Yes, indeed, I’m lucky to have found this holistic center with a highly educated PHD neuroscientist, also MD and TCM and Ayurvedic practitioner, so definitely not a “quack” as many would like to call this type of healer.  She is also sought out as a speaker at many universities both in Europe and the US.

TBH, I could not have said that with a straight face. Especially as during the time he was 56 he was caught out over 30.000 times and fact checked almost as many, which is one reason that he hates being fact checked.

Don't agree with you Fred.

 

These 'diseases' that are commonly thought to be contagious, and caused by a virus, are nothing of the sort.

 

Take measles. The symptoms of measles, in most instances, are no different from other conditions. Chicken pox for one. Neither are they anything other than the body ridding itself of undesirables. It is a natural body response. The elimination of a toxin. Medication can lessen the sometimes severe symptoms, but the problem will not then resolve itself; and can have serious detrimental effects down the line.

 

IMO, a measles vaccine js a big fraud. Just a waste of time, and potentially very dangerous for any that get it.

Severe symptoms with that child for sure.

 

But what s causing the body to react so violently?

 

If I was his medical investigator, I'd firstly look seriously at his diet over a 12 month period. I'd check for any local problems with toxicity. Including the home. I'd check on the water supply.

 

These checks can't be done easily. Mum and Dad would in involved big time.

 

Perhaps most importantly; what medications and vaccines has he had, since being conceived? That would obviously be a big question for Mum.

 

As a natural help; I might suggest Witch Hazel (diluted) to ease the irritation, and subdue the rash. But I wouldn't try to stop it.

 

I'm not a doctor. So best if the parents go see a medical expert.

And it saved many lives. Most people that die from many diseases are unvaccinated. Sometimes the body needs help ridding itself from undesirables. Sometimes that takes science. Many people have lived long lives, up to and over 100 years old, vaccinated. It's what you eat that has you live that long, as the blue zones show This from the link I provided Even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available, in 2023, there were an estimated 107 500 measles deaths globally, mostly among unvaccinated or under vaccinated children under the age of 5 years...................https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles

Some truth these Fred. Also a lot of nonsense.

 

We have been back and forth on this subject a few times. Can I ask you one question. You could look it up, bur Id rather your take.

Actually all facts. The WHO isn't a biased entity. A Measles vaccine prevents severe symptoms from the disease, just as all other vaccines do., and it also prevents most from getting it. If you read the link you'll understand more.

Thanks for the reply Fred. Unfortunately you are not right.

 

A vaccine supposedly does various things. But essentially it, through demonstration, and irritation, 'teaches' the body to be better prepared for the entity; If and when it arrives. What is the entity? The dreaded, mysterious virus of course.

 

Because a virus has never been found to exist, and therefore not cause an illness, I must put a big ? against a vaccine. Any vaccine.

 

Don't you see Fred mate. It is all a giant hoax!?
