			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is commonly known that H pylori can lead to distress in the digestive system, with symptoms such as heartburn, reflux, belching, vomiting, bloating and gas being commonplace. It is also known that H pylori causes stomach ulcers.</p>
<p>However there is emerging evidence that H pylori may contribute to more serious illnesses. Research has demonstrated a strong association between H pylori and stomach cancer and recently, eyebrows have been raised as new research has suggested a link between bacterial infections and heart disease.</p>
<p>The precise mechanism by which H pylori causes heart disease is not yet known, but researchers believe that it is a person&#8217;s own immune system that does the damage.  How can this be so?</p>
<p>When a person has H pylori, the body produces antibodies that attack specific protein sequences (called antigens) on the surface of the H pylori bacteria. Scientists have found that the protein sequences of certain human tissues are very similar to those found on H pylori.</p>
<p>Instead of attacking the H pylori, the antibodies attack the tissues of the body instead. The thyroid gland and vascular/heart tissues are thought to be some of the areas of the body that can be affected by this phenomenon, which is known as <strong>molecular mimicry</strong>.</p>
<p>The resulting onslaught of immune activity against the body&#8217;s own tissues is believed to contribute to malfunctioning of those tissues and also to inflammation, which may lead to the accumulation of fat and cholesterol on the arteries.</p>
<p>If H pylori truly does contribute to heart disease, we have yet another reason to <a href="http://h-yplori-symptoms.com/shop" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/h-yplori-symptoms.com/shop?referer=');">eradicate</a> this infection as soon as possible!</p>
<p>For further informatino on this topic, research the work of Dr Aristo Vodjani.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Do You Want To Know How I Cured My H pylori Infection?</strong></p>
<p>People tend not to believe me when I tell them that I have a 100% success rate with the natural treatment program I use for H pylori and to be honest, their scepticism is fair enough. But as you read this article, I hope it will begin to make sense to you.</p>
<p>The fact is that I resolved my H pylori problem in less than a month and my clients always clear their infections in a maximum of 60-days.</p>
<p>Am I a genius? No.</p>
<p>Do I do anything special to clear the infection? Not really.</p>
<p>So how do I do it?</p>
<p>ANSWER: I use common sense and a working knowledge of how the human body functions, and what causes it to malfunction in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>Your Immune System Holds The Key</strong></p>
<p>If your immune system is healthy, H pylori cannot survive. Therefore if you currently have H pylori, the H pylori is just a symptom. The real problem is that your immune system is not firing on all cylinders.</p>
<p><strong>What causes your immune system to lose power?</strong></p>
<p>The answer is <strong>STRESS</strong>. Research has shown that any stress causes your immune system - particularly molecules called secetory IgA in the mucosal lining of your digestive tract - to decline. When this happens, it&#8217;s like leaving the castle walls unguarded and open to invasion.</p>
<p>If your IgA soldier levels drop, bugs that enter your castle via water, on food and in air and are able to storm the castle and get a foot hold in your body. If you don&#8217;t get your immune army back into action, you may not clear the infection.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Stress?</strong></p>
<p>Stress has diferent meanings for different people. It can broadly be categorised into 3 groups:</p>
<p><strong>1. Mental &amp; Emotional</strong> - we all know about these stressors (think family, husband, noisy kids, the boss, money problems - anything that causes fear, anxiety, jealousy, etc). Some of these stressors can continue daily for many months or years and some may come suddenly, like a family berievement.</p>
<p><strong>2. Dietary</strong> - most people don&#8217;t realise that dietary stress places a huge burden on the body. Certain commonly eaten foods like soy, cow&#8217;s milk and gluten can wreak havoc on your body. Low calorie dieting can cause a huge amount of stress as well. Then there are hidden food allergies and the use of stimulants such as sugar, caffeine and alcohol.</p>
<p><strong>3. Inflammation</strong> - you may think of inflammation as being the time you twisted your ankle, or hit yourt thumb with a hammer. Sure, these are obvious causes of inflammation but there are other more hidden inflammatory responses, especially in the digestive tract. For example, some of the foods mentioned above can cause constant inflammation in the gut. H pylori itself always causes inflammation.</p>
<p><strong>H pylori Doesn&#8217;t Necessarily Cause All Your Symptoms</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen people&#8217;s symptoms completely clear by removing certain foods from their diet. These people had H pylori, but the foods were causing their symptoms, not the H pylori. By removing problem foods, a huge stress was removed from their bodies and they felt much better, very quickly.</p>
<p>Conversely, people email me to tell me that they have cleared their H pylori using antibiotics but they feel exactly the same as they did when they had the H pylori. It&#8217;s because something else is causing their symptoms.</p>
<p><strong>How I Clear H pylori </strong></p>
<p>The first thing I teach people is how to remove dietary stress. 75% of the people I work with are gluten intolerant. This means that every time they eat gluten, they get an inflammatory response in their small intestine.</p>
<p>Removing gluten for these people sometimes clears all their symptoms, even before they have addressed H pylori. People with gluten sensitivty are nearly always lactose (cow&#8217;s milk) intolerant as well and most of them don&#8217;t handle soy very well.</p>
<p>The Overcoming H pylori Naturally E-book contains all the information you need to take this major step towards recovery.</p>
<p>Once I have had my clients on the appropriate protocol, I recommend that they order a 30-day course of Matula Herbal Formula. I have found Matula to be by far the best method for clearing H pylori in my clients. It is safe, works very quickly and is very a convenient product to take.</p>
<p>I then teach my clients how to restore their immune system so that they keep H pylori away. Think about it: if your immune system is the reason H pylori was there in the first place, and you just take some herbs to clear the infection, are you really addressing the root cause of the problem?</p>
<p>To restore immune function, I encourage them to do plenty of exercise, sleep well and eat a whole food diet, with no gluten! I then teach them exactly how to replace the good bacteria in their digestive tracts as well as recommending some short-term supplements that can help to patch up their digestive lining double quick time (inluding healing ulcers).</p>
<p>Finally, I recommend that aftr 6-8 weeks they run a stool antigen test to confirm that the H pylori has gone. I&#8217;ve never had a situation where it&#8217;s still been there after people have followed the program.</p>
<p><strong>Learn My Methods!</strong></p>
<p>You can follow the program exactly as I teach it, but at a fraction of the cost, by ordering Overcoming H Pylori Naturally. Simply visit the Shop on this website for a full description, contents and testimonials from genuine people who have enjoyed success from the program!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest questions if you have been diagnosed with H pylori is &#8220;how do I get rid of it?&#8221; Research has now revealed that conventional treatments with Triple Therapy are not working as well as they used to, largely because many strains of H pylori are now resistant to antibiotics such as clarithromycin. This leaves a conundrum because if the Triple Therapy doesn&#8217;t work for you, what do you do?</p>
<p>I have personally had amazing success using <a href="http://www.perfect-natural-health.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.perfect-natural-health.com?referer=');">Matula Herbal Formula</a>. I used Matula to clear my own H pylori infection two years ago and have so far achieved a 100% success rate using the product with my clients, a 30% greater success rate than Triple Therapy is currently yielding. Every single client who has used Matula on my program has eradicated their H pylori infection.</p>
<p>I do receive some emails from people who have tried the Matula and the treatment has not worked. I believe that this is largely because other factors are involved in their symptoms. I have discovered that if people use an <a href="http://www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/cure" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/cure?referer=');">anti-inflammatory diet</a> alongside Matula Herbal Formula it works <strong>much</strong> better and that the program can be enhanced even more by adding supplements to heal the digestive lining and add good bacteria back into the body.</p>
<p>The thing I like most about Matula is that <a href="http://www.perfect-natural-health.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.perfect-natural-health.com?referer=');">Perfectly Natural Herbs</a>, the company that makes Matula, has a 100% money back guarantee if your treatment does not work, so essentially you are able to try it risk-free. I can assure you that the company does issue a full refund if your follow up lab testing is still positive for H pylori.</p>
<p>There is no doubt at all that if you have H pylori you definitely need to clear it out of your system. If you read my <a href="http://h-pylori-symptoms.com/h-pylori-symptoms/" target="_blank">symptoms</a> page you will see that H pylori can cause a diverse array of symptoms and potentially serious conditions.</p>
<p>It is my professional recommendation, therefore, that you run the anti-inflammatory diet program alongside the Matula so that you optimise your success!</p>
<p>To your good health,</p>
<p>Dave.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m often asked whether I recommend the use of Manuka Honey against Helicobacter pylori.</p>
<p>The answer is &#8220;No&#8221; and here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>Whilst Manuka Honey does have antimicrobial properties against H pylori we must always remember that honey is essentially sugar.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that people who have H pylori usually also have a yeast or fungal infection in their digestive system (these infections are the same as those which cause thrush and oral thrush). The yeast is called <em>Candida albicans. </em></p>
<p><em>Candida</em> feeds on sugar, honey included. So if you take Manuka Honey you run the risk of feeding the yeast overgrowth.</p>
<p>This can, and often does, lead to a worsening of symptoms in people, or even the development of new symptoms because <em>Candida</em> overgrowth can cause the same or similar symptoms to <em>H pylori.</em></p>
<p>Controlling candida overgrowth is important when considering treatment for H pylori. This is why I always run a Stomach Cleanse using <a href="http://www.perfect-natural-health.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.perfect-natural-health.com?referer=');">Matula Herbal Formula</a>. Matula has been shown to have antifungal actions as well as antmicrobial activity against H pylori.</p>
<p>When you use Matula, you&#8217;re not only killing the H pylori, you&#8217;re also controlling the candida at the same time.</p>
<p>This is very cost- and time-efficient and brings optimal results when used with an <a href="http://www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop?referer=');">anti-inflammatory diet</a>, where the biggest problem causing foods such as gluten and soy are removed from your diet for 60-90-days.</p>
<p>Using this approach you will resolve your symptoms faster and at much less cost.</p>
<p>Wishing you great health,</p>
<p>Dave.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest problems we face when we are diagnosed with digestive infections is the fact that the infection - whether it is a bacterium like H pylori, a parasite such as Blastocystis or Giardia, or a fungal overgrowth as in Candida  - is probably not the only cause of the symptoms we experience.</p>
<p>It is extremely common for people to have food sensitivites to the foods they are eating every day and I can absolutely guarantee with 100% confidence that at least 70% of you reading this post will have problems with common foods that you are eating.</p>
<p>I receive many emails back from customers who have purchased my <a href="http://www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop?referer=');">Overcoming H pylori Naturally </a>e-book stating that they experience significant improvement in their symptoms (e.g. heartburn, constipation, bloating, gas, headaches, skin conditions, headaches, anxiety &amp; depression) simply by cutting out certain foods from their diet.</p>
<p>They are amazed that their symptoms improve even though they have not taken any antibiotics or herbs to kill H pylori. In fact I have been able to get better results with clients inside 2 weeks than their doctors have in 2 years simply by helping them adjust their diet!</p>
<p>Foods containing gluten, cow&#8217;s milk, soy, sugar and sometimes eggs, beef, citrus and other foods can have a profound effect on the way you feel. The problem is that dietary changes do not make pharmaceutical companies any money and so these simple principles are not taught in medical school (well, they are, but usually for 1-2 days out of a 5-7 year degree!).</p>
<p>So what can you do to make sure that you are not eating foods that may aggravate your problem?</p>
<p>First, you should cut out as much processed food as you can. Anything that comes in a packet with an ingredients list should be thrown out.</p>
<p>Second, you must drink pure water and pure water only. Not cordials, fruit juice, coke, pepsi, fanta, sprite, tea and coffee. Herbal teas can be ok. Freshly squeezed fruit &amp; veggie juice (NOT store bought) is also ok.</p>
<p>Third, you need to eliminate the foods that most commonly cause reactions in the gut. There is a very detailed discussion on this area in <a href="http://www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop?referer=');">Overcoming H pylori Naturally</a>. It is not as easy as it sounds to do this because you may be eating some of these foods up to five times a day.  <em>However, this is one of the most important things people can do in order to reduce symptoms.</em></p>
<p>Once you have taken these three steps I will be <em>amazed</em> if you do not feel much better.</p>
<p>After making the dietary changes, you can then address the H pylori using herbs or antibiotics. The effect of these cleanses will be much greater if you have worked on the key issue of diet first.</p>
<p>You can also weaken the H pylori by using foods that have been scientifically shown to kill the bacteria. These include garlic, cranberry and some vegetable oils. Again, there is a detailed list of &#8220;anti-H pylori&#8221; foods in <a href="http://www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.h-pylori-symptoms.com/shop?referer=');">Overcoming H pylori Naturally</a>.</p>
<p>I hope this post has helped you. Remember that eating is something most of us do 3-5 times per day. If we do it well, it will sustain us, make us feel great and keep us free from disease. If we do it wrong (which most people do) it will make us ill.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
