Greetings. New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker, author of Candida Crusher. Thanks for joining me again in another video in our helicobacter pylori series. I’m going to be talking about the signs and symptoms of an HP infection, so I’ve got my laptop open here. I’m looking at my ericbakker.com website. I’ve got an article on there called “Heartburn,” which is all about H. pylori, that is one of the chief symptoms.

An interesting thing about helicobacter is it doesn’t produce exactly the same symptomatology in every single patient. Some people develop gastric ulceration, duodenal or gastric ulcers. The duodenal ulcer is further down the stomach. The gastric ulcer is a bit higher up.

Dr. Robin Warren, the chief pathologist who did a huge amount of research on helicobacter in the early days, believed that 10 to 15 percent of all people who get HP infections will go onto to develop ulcerations. Think about that for a minute, 10 to 15 percent; 10 to 15 percent is a lot when you think about how many millions of people in the US are infected and other countries with this particular bug.

If you think that the drug called Nexium, the acid blocker, in 2014 sold $6.4 billion US dollars. It makes me wonder how many of those billions of dollars have actually been treating people with helicobacter. They shouldn’t have been on this blasted drug in the first place.

The signs and symptoms are varied. It depends if the bacteria are stimulating overproduction and in some cases for reasons we don’t really understand, can actually switch off production. The patient can develop achlorhydria or an absence of stomach acid. In other people, it could just mess the whole lot up. So it can either over produce or under produce or mess up your digestion. And that’s why the symptoms can be varied from patient to patient.

I’m going to read out a list of the typical signs and symptoms of a helicobacter pylori infection. Nausea or queasiness, low grade feeling of queasiness, feeling a little bit sick. Some patients can really get sick and actually vomit at times or vomit for no reason at all, which is an unusual thing but it can be linked to it. Avoidance of chili, garlic, or specific foods that does not agree with your tummy. It could be Uncle Fred coming over or grandpa that says, “I can’t eat them potatoes. Every time I eat those potatoes, I feel sick. I don’t like garlic. Every time I have a piece of garlic, I feel like crap. I’m burping and I’m sick and everything.” If the person feels ill quite quickly after eating a certain food, it may be a problem with helicobacter pylori.

Bloating worse after meals. Feeling worse after meals or certain kinds of foods. Recurring abdominal pain, intestinal cramps, that’s a big one. This pain of helicobacter can make you think that you’re having a heart attack. If you think where the stomach is and where the heart is, they’re very close together. Many people, in fact, who do end up in the emergency room or get the ambulance are having indigestion. All could have a serious HP attack rather than a heart attack. It can be quite a sharp pain. You can actually think you’re dying sometimes. The pain can be that intense. I’ve had many patients over the years tell me they ended up in the emergency ward and the doctor said, “You’ve got heartburn. Go home. Take this antacid. You’ll be fine. There’s nothing wrong with your heart. We checked your blood out, did an EKG, everything is clear. Just go home.”

Peptic or duodenal ulcers, which we’ve spoken about already in this series. Over 90 percent of all cases of peptic and duodenal ulcers are caused by helicobacter pylori. In rare cases, you can actually have a small tumor in the stomach producing acid, but those are really rare cases. Burping, which can be pretty bad. You might have a relation that’s got actually a reputation for burping. Some people can burp the alphabet. I think I actually saw that in one of those Guinness records. If the burping is excessive and really over the top, it could well be helicobacter. Remember what we said. It can produce an over acidity and also under acidity, so food can sit there like a rock. It’s not being digested properly. You can feel like you swallowed a brick. It can be sitting in there.

Heartburn. Maybe reliant on Gaviscon or Losec or Tums or some kind of antacid drink or pill. If the person has always got a pack of candy, sweets or something in their pocket, pop in their mouth because of heartburn, this is the sort of patient I’m looking for that has probably got helicobacter. The person always wants mints. I had a friend like that. Always wanted to buy mints all the time because it made him feel better. Didn’t know why, but he felt better. Those are the sort of key things I look for.

Diarrhea or constipation after several years of infection. Well, is it any wonder? If the stomach is going to play out sooner or later, what happens downstream is going to be all affected as well. It’s no wonder why.

Disturbed sleep. Maybe waking up with a hollow feeling or heartburn. These people can sometimes wake up really early in the morning being really hungry and having to eat food. I’ve also found at times that some patients have got issues with their position, so they feel better semi-reclining or they feel better in those chairs. They’ve got the foot rest that goes up. They feel way better like that. Other people feel better propped up. Some people have a couple of bricks under the head of the bed to prop the bed up a little bit. Other people don’t have that at all. As soon as I hear people talking about this position or problem with gastric discomfort, helicobacter. When you think about it, if the stomach, if you’ve got acid in here and it’s moving around a bit, it could affect the symptoms of that person quite a lot.

Here’s an interesting one that many people don’t think about, vitamin B-12 deficiency. If you’ve had a problem with your stomach for a long time, there may be an issue with what we call the parietal cells. These are cells that produce a hormone called “intrinsic factor.” That binds to vitamin B-12, which is found chiefly in animal sources. Intrinsic factor binds the B-12. It’s produced by this particular cell, or parietal cell. It goes down the small intestine and there’s a small area there that it gets absorbed. If the stomach is playing up, not working properly, there is a chance that the B-12 is not really efficiently being utilized with the intrinsic factor. I always recommend people with a stomach problem of long duration to always get vitamin B-12 checked.

People with helicobacter, I’ve spoken with some specialists on my trips to Australia at some of these big conferences, say they’ve even seen it linked with serious depression and anxiety disorder. If you’ve got no B-12 in the body and it’s never checked, you can have serious anxiety disorder and major depression if the stomach is playing out. Of course, your doctor may refer you to a psychiatrist thinking you’re nuts. Get your B-12 checked because B-12 is important for another chemical reaction we call “methylation,” which we haven’t got time to go into today. Just check out methylation.

Altered appetite. Sometimes you feel like eating. Sometimes you don’t feel like eating. After being infected for many years, you may have developed deficiencies that can lead to a whole lot of health problems. If the stomach is not working efficiently, how the hell can you ever breakdown and absorb and utilize the nutrition from your diet. I don’t care how good your diet is. I don’t care how biodynamic it is or how GM free or how perfect it’s grown. If the stomach is not working efficiently, you’re completely wasting your time with the best foods. You need to have a stomach in very good condition to utilize the nutrition properly. Give it to the end target, to all cells in the body.

Helicobacter is implicated in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. There is actually a link there with Hashimoto’s patients and H. pylori. If you have got Hashimoto’s and you’re watching this, I think it may pay for you to do a fecal stool test and maybe a serum antigen test just to make sure you haven’t got HP.

Forty percent of migraine headaches offers a positive with HP and eradication subsides the headaches in a lot of cases. If you suffer from recurrent migraines, get checked for helicobacter.

Acne rosacea. I don’t know how many patients I’ve seen with acne rosacea over the years. Helicobacter pylori is suspected of causing acne rosacea, and eradication of HP often results in a significant reduction of these symptoms.

Have a think about those signs and symptoms. But the key ones are burping, heartburn, tired, fatigue, not feeling well, funny diet or what we call a dodgy diet or strange like some foods you can’t tolerate, some foods you can or if people find you a fussy eater or a finicky eater. Look carefully for these in children as well, especially if children don’t like foods or argue with you they can’t eat this or they can’t eat that. They may have a problem. In Europe, this problem is so big that the European Helicobacter Foundation has actually set up a whole institution just to study this in children, so bad is the problem. Countries like Spain, Portugal, they’ve got a major problem with HP.

Think about those signs and symptoms. If you’re unsure about them, check with your health care professional. Thanks for tuning in.

Greetings, it’s New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker, author of Candida Crusher and the formulator of the Canxida range of dietary supplements. Thank you for checking out my video. We’re going to talk about helicobacter pylori today. I’ll probably end up doing a few videos on helicobacter. It’s such an incredibly endemic problem. So many patients we see in the clinic have got H. Pylori and so many patients are misdiagnosed. Testing is not always very accurate with HP. In many instances, I’ve noticed that patients come back positive with the symptoms who swear they’ve got the condition. They go and get a stool test or a blood test. It comes back negative. But when you treat them, they get no result. I’ve seen this time and again. It’s amazing. It’s nice to have a test confirmation. But in most cases, I will just treat the patient for helicobacter if I suspect it.

Back in 1984, an Australian doctor, Dr. Gary Marshall, discovered helicobacter working in the lab. He started to wonder why so many people were getting gastric ulceration, heartburn, peptic ulcers, and discovered that there was a spiral shape bacteria involved. I think it was originally called campylobacter pylori, but then the name got changed to helicobacter. Helico as in a spiral or a helicoid. It’s an incredible bug and it is endemic in many countries around the world.

In New Zealand and Australia, 25 percent of the population are infected. In North America, I believe it’s about 25 to 30 percent of the population. In some countries like Africa, it’s up to 90 percent of the population. Not everybody who’s infected will necessarily be symptomatic. Some people are asymptomatic, which means they’re not necessarily presenting with symptoms. They could be carriers. Many people who have got it will certainly notice the symptoms, which could be burping, bloating. Often it’s digestive discomfort with eating certain foods, so certain foods won’t agree with that person. That person may have been taking some type of an antacid or an acid blocker for a short period of time or for many, many years. Once you’ve got helicobacter, you’ve generally got helicobacter for a long time.

The key issue we get with it is heartburn. It will be like GERD, a GERD kind of a symptom, gastroesophageal reflux. So you could have it every now and then, hot stuff or sour stuff coming up. You can feel a discomfort here behind the sternum in the part of the chest here. It may feel really uncomfortable especially after eating. You may find that standing or sitting or changing position could increase or decrease the discomfort. You may find that by taking an acid blocker you get a lot of relief of this symptom.

If you’ve got HP, have a look around at your family and friends to see who suffers from a similar kind of problem. I see it often in relationships. It will be in family relationships. Your mom could have it or your dad or your auntie or your sister could have it or your husband or wife could have it. It’s quite common for this bug to be spread with utensil sharing or kissing. It can be spread, so just be careful if you’ve got it. If you’ve been taking a medication for many years to block acid, you may well have helicobacter pylori. My advice is to go and get tested on the off chance that they pick it up. If you get tested and it comes back negative and you can relate to helicobacter pylori, then my advice is to treat it. Even if you just treat for SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, you may end up finding a very, very good result.

Chances are if you’ve got bad GERD or reflux and you’re taking a blocker and if you treat it and get a very, very good outcome, my advice is to slowly wean off the acid blocking drug and to take more of an antibacterial/antifungal approach for three to six months to try to eradicate all this rubbish you’ve got up here. It can change your life. Many people with H. Pylori end up with a lot of tiredness and it’s no wonder they get tired because they end up getting a reduced ability to really break down and absorb and utilize the nutrients coming in through the food. It’s like starving an automobile of gas or petrol going into the carburetor. If you’re going to starve the vehicle, the power to the wheels is not really going to happen properly. So your muscles aren’t going to really feel good if you’ve got helicobacter long term. Your sleep is not going to feel good. Your mood is not going to feel good. You’re going to feel grumpy. You’re going to feel pissed off. You’re going to feel tired. You’re going to feel you’re getting older. You’re going to feel a lot of discomfort and then your doctor is just going to keep writing out prescriptions for these darn acid blocking medications.

The drug Nexium in the US is a typical example of an acid blocking drug. It netted the pharmaceutical companies $6.1 billion US dollars in 2014. That’s one drug for one symptom. There is about 10 drugs all in the top 10, so we’re looking at literally a trillion dollars’ worth of pharmaceutical drugs each year in North America alone just to block stomach acid. My guess is that one in three or one in four are those people who’ve got HP.

Think about it. If you’ve got heartburn, reflux, burping, bloating, sick after certain meals, sensation of fullness after meals, or certain foods disagree very quickly when you eat them. There could be some queasiness or nausea there. You may find discomfort when lying in bed at night. You may need to prop up the bed head with a brick. Some people put a brick under the bed head. It makes them feel better. If you’ve got any of those kind of symptoms, you need checking out. If you have HP long term, you’ll end up a very sick person on multiple medications with multiple diseases.

HP is often found in conjunction with Candida. Candida like other kinds of bugs is opportunistic. If it sees the opportunity, it will start taking off and growing. My guess is that many people with helicobacter also have very poor levels of beneficial bacteria. They have a yeast infection in the body and other associated gastric problems. The reason why is because they’ve been on medications for so long. They take acid blockers and some take sleeping pills and some take antidepressants and they take all this cocktail of drugs and then they wonder why their whole insides aren’t working properly. The big thing is to wean you off this sort of stuff in the long term, so you don’t need to rely on it and eventually get you off all medications, so your body can run on its own steam, produce its own power with the good diet that you’re eating and it will turn your whole life right around. I’ve seen this with many patients over the years.

Consider taking the Canxida Remove tablet. It seems to be working very well for helicobacter. It’s a product I initially created for Candida yeast infections. We’re getting very, very good feedback from people with helicobacter pylori, with parasites. Many different kinds of parasites responding to that product, Candida, of course. I’m using it for SIBO patients as well very successfully. Food allergy patients, leaky bowel patients, all sorts of conditions. But I’m also noticing good results with helicobacter pylori with the Canxida Remove.

The Canxida Restore is a fantastic companion product. Because everybody I find with helicobacter will have a lack of beneficial bacteria. Everybody with helicobacter will have an issue with digesting food properly. If the pancreas doesn’t function properly, that’s because they keep putting these acid blocking medications in the stomach that changes the pH, the acidity of the stomach, which renders a lot of the pancreatic enzymes ineffective. Taking a digestive enzyme with meals when you’ve got HP is a very, very smart idea. Especially if that enzyme contains probiotics.

I don’t recommend you take prebiotic supplements like inulin or FOS with helicobacter. I’ve had too many bad results when it comes to that. And these are some of the reasons why I created Canxida Restore. Because I wanted to give the patient a product containing high quality enzymes, high quality probiotics without FOS, inulin or any of that prebiotic crap in there. That causes too much nausea, bloating, sick feelings. I’ve taken all of those out. The Canxida Restore with helicobacter is best taken one with each meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The Canxida Remove, the antifungal/antibacterial, is best also taken with meals. They work perfectly fine together. They don’t cancel each other out at all, so you can take the Canxida Remove twice per day initially, and the Canxida Restore you can straight away take three per day with meals. If you start noticing increased acidity, burping and bloating on that regime, you just back off by one dose. You can still take your acid-blocking medication at the same time, and slowly you can be weaned off that.

A very, very good tip that I’m going to leave you with. The last tip and a very, very worthwhile tip that’s helped a lot of people out. I want you to get some green cabbage and then juice one or two cabbage leaves every single morning. When you get up, juice one or two cabbage leaves in a juicer or blender and you extract one to two tablespoons of the cabbage juice and you drink that on an empty stomach. It’s a fantastic tip. It’s a tip that’s won be a huge amount of fans in many different countries around the world. I’ve got a lot of satisfied patients now just from that one tip alone, so that’s a real gold nugget for you. If you’re taking Nexium or esomeprazole or any kind of an acid blocker, you try that tip and then you get back to me and tell me how you went with that tip. I’ll be very pleased to see the comments on this particular video for people who’ve tried the cabbage juice trick.

Cabbage juice goes back centuries for stomach problems. It contains a substance in it that is superior to any acid blocking medication you’ll find. Once you use it for a while and you’ve eradicated bugs, you should have no more problem with acidity in your stomach. That’s my promise. You keep on trying the cabbage juice. Stick with it for about three months. Every morning when you get up, one to two tablespoons, empty stomach. Some people respond to potato juice, but I find the cabbage juice to be superior.

Thanks for watching my video today. I appreciate it.

Greetings, New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker, author of Candida Crusher, formulator of the Canxida range of supplements. Thanks for checking out my video and I hope you’re enjoying the helicobacter pylori series so far. So far, we’ve covered many different videos. I’ll just read out a list of some of the videos that we’ve completed. “What is Helicobacter?” “What are the signs and symptoms?” “What are the causes?” “How to test and diagnose.” “What are the risk factors?” “How to prevent it.” And now we’re going to talk about helicobacter natural treatment. What is the most effective natural treatment for this bacteria?

Before we go into natural treatment, I should talk a little bit about the medical treatment or triple therapy. I used to be a big fan of triple therapy for many years. Particularly, when I worked in medical centers, I’d often prescribe triple therapy for patients, and this basically means two different antibiotics and then either an acid blocker or a stomach shielding drug.
In fact, Dr. Barry Marshall never recommended one medication alone for helicobacter. He believed that it was important to alter the environment of the gut either by shielding the gut and giving a strong drug or by blocking the acid production and giving one or two drugs. And so eventually evolved the treatment called “triple therapy,” which has become very popular. Triple therapy is also used with drugs like rifaximin and drugs like that in a SIBO sense, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. And some naturopathic doctors are actually recommending antibiotics, too.

I’ve got mixed results, but I’ve been in practice now for nearly 30 years and what I did discover over a period of time was that three quarters or more of patients with an HP infection who had triple therapy would come back and say, “I’m feeling sick again. It lasted for six months or it lasted for one year or it lasted two years, but now, I feel like crap. I’ve got the same symptoms. I’ve got heartburn. I’ve got bloating. I’m just not interested in eating much and I’ve got a lot of diarrhea or constipation. What’s wrong with me? I went back to the doctor and he tested and he said everything’s fine, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got the same thing I had last time.”

What do you do in that case? These days, I just treat naturally and there are many different kinds of protocols that I recommend for patients, but I’m not going to be biased here and I also don’t really care what you take. I just want you to have a good result with what you do take, so I’m going to come up with a lot of different suggestions for you.

I had an interesting discussion with a lady when I was in Sidney, Australia in 2015 at a medical conference, a retired gastroenterologist, who told me, “Eric, I don’t treat with triple therapy anymore. I gave up after 20 odd years of using it. I found it just didn’t work with the majority of people.” And she said, “I found that most people who ended up getting it would come back saying, ‘It’s back again.’ I was always reluctant to give it two or three times over.” And she said, “The other thing I discovered was many people have strong side effects from the triple therapy. And the triple therapy can produce side effects like metallic taste in the mouth, headache, diarrhea, vaginal yeast infections or jock itch, so a patient can end up with a lot of yeast infections.”

But the big thing she said is you wipe out so many of the beneficial bacteria that they end up with a secondary problem. You potentially have a good kill rate on the upper digestive system, but eventually that comes back again, but then, you’ve killed off the stuff below and that can take a lot longer to come back. All you’re doing is you’re basically giving a person a very short term cash loan with a high interest rate. That’s what you’re doing when you’re giving triple therapy. You’re buying them a little bit of time, but there’s about 10 to 15 percent chance, in my opinion, that they’re going to be cured for this disease. There’s a bigger chance they’re not going to be cured. You’ll get a very good eradication, but you won’t get a complete elimination.

I said to this lady, “Okay, you’ve told me that, so what do we do? How do we get rid of this?” And she said, “Well, it’s about controlling the bug in the body. It’s about keeping the symptoms at bay by managing effective diet and lifestyle and making sure the patient eats the right kind of foods and has the right fermented and cultured foods.” I put my arm around this lady because she’s a nice old lady, she would’ve been about 69. I said, “You should’ve been a naturopath. What the heck are you a gastroenterologist for?” And she said, “I’ve always been a naturopath. I’ve always worked like this with people, but sometimes you need to use stronger medications than what you guys use.” But I asked her if she uses any antibiotics now and she said she would never recommend them. After all those 40 odd years of clinical experience, she said to me, she found in most cases antibiotics are a complete waste of time when it came to the digestive system. I thought, “Wow, that’s quite a powerful thing for someone to say whose been in conventional medicine for so long.” “A complete waste of time.”

But in this video, we’re going to talk about the natural treatment and the eradication and I assume that’s why you’re looking at this because you may have tried triple therapy and found out it was a complete waste of time. You may have had recurrent triple therapy treatment and had a long history of symptoms as a result of that. Don’t worry. The chances are good that you can still get your health back.

How do we eradicate this thing naturally? The really important thing for you to get through your mind is you are not going to get rid of this thing by just taking pills alone, end of. If you think that just taking a pill will eradicate this thing, just switch off the video now or go and watch some crazy cat videos or something or people falling off bicycles and stuff like that. Because that’s probably going to make you laugh because it’s laughable what you’re thinking. You can’t get rid of this bug with pills alone. Just remember that one. Write it down. It’s important.

You’re going to get rid of this bug by changing aspects of your diet and lifestyle. You’re going to get rid of this bug by getting to bed on time. When you’re tired and not liking people on your iPad in bed at one o’clock in the morning. You won’t get rid of a tummy bug doing that. Checking your mobile phone every 15 minutes for notifications or emails. You’ve got to learn to relax a lot more and go with your gut instinct or gut feeling. When you get tired, you need to chill out. I want people to have relaxation sessions most days where they have like a 10 to 15 minute complete break from everything and lie down. You just relax.

I have that seven days a week. I think they’re very, very crucial because they recharge your batteries. By you being more intuitive about your diet and lifestyle, by understanding the basic tenets of good health, you’re going to be miles ahead of anyone who thinks they can eradicate this by taking a pill. Pills are the icing on the cake and they will assist in complete eradication. I shouldn’t use the word “eradication.” I should use the word “control.” They will help to control the bug so it doesn’t become a problem. The rest is critically important.

The second thing is the alcohol intake. You cannot wish to get rid of helicobacter if you’re drinking alcohol on a regular basis. It’s not going to happen. You’ve got to stop drinking alcohol completely for at least 6 to 12 months. That’s the best way for you to go forward. If you’ve got any kind of stomach problem, stop drinking now. If you can’t stop drinking, again, please turn the video off because you’re probably wasting your time in going any further. Sleep, no drinking, and making wise food choices. Going forward, the foods that tend to aggravate need to be pushed to one side. If you’re starting to eat foods that create queasiness or nausea or bloating or burping or make you feel unwell in any way, push them aside and don’t have them for some time. Don’t get too restrictive with your diet, though. But it is important to stop eating out and making bad dietary choices.

I’ll say it again. You cannot get rid of this bug with a pill alone. You need to make choices across the board. You need to fix up those sloppy habits you’ve got. You need to fix what’s broken when it comes to your diet and lifestyle. You know what you’re doing is either good or bad, so you need to turn the bad into the good. Those are the sort of things that are going to help you get on top of the helicobacter infection. Even before we talk about treatment. This is common sense stuff. You’ve got to get that right first.

Once you’ve got that right, you can start putting increasing amounts of things into the digestion that are going to help counter bacterial infections. There’s a reason why people in certain countries eat the foods that they do. Have you ever thought, why, for example, in the tropical regions, they eat lots of chili and garlic and ginger and turmeric, cardamom seed, ajwain seed and all these special seeds and barks and nuts and roots and herbs? Particularly, endemic around the tropical region. And think of where some of the most powerful herbs grow for eradicating parasites, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme. They grow in the warm climates, the dry climates, the hot climates. They’re climates that are conducive for bacterial infection.

These are the sort of foods that are good to include into your diet. Cloves, another spice, garlic, turmeric, ginger, the green herbs, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, marjoram. Include all of these into your diet, particularly fresh green herbs. You want to really add a lot to salads and to different things that you prepare. Steamed vegetables or bagged vegetables, put these sort of things in there. With meats you can use a lot of rosemary. Rosemary has got very powerful antibacterial qualities about it, too. Fresh garlic. I’m a fan of that. If you can’t tolerate it, you may need to steam it or cook it until you can tolerate it more. Remember, because you’ve got the infection, you may have a big problem tolerating certain kinds of foods. Tolerance comes over time. It doesn’t mean to say you’ll always have to avoid those kinds of foods. But incorporating those things into your diet is going to work.

Check out my videos on fermented and cultured foods. Yogurt is very, very good. Kefir is excellent for a problem with the stomach, so coconut kefir might be more effective. The water kefir is quite strong, but the milk kefir is usually okay as well, if it’s been made properly. Sauerkraut is another potentially good food for people with helicobacter. These are going to change the way the bug really lives and thrives in the gut. You’re going to change the acid/alkaline nature. These foods have got lactic acid in them. These foods tend to be favored by the beneficial bacteria that also live in the gut. Because, yes, you do have beneficial bacteria that live right from the mouth right through. So by eating fermented and cultured foods regularly, you’ll slowly turn the tide on this gut dysfunction.

Drinks are very important to understand with helicobacter. I don’t like people drinking really hot or really cold foods when they’ve got a HP infection, so coffee and tea is probably out. You can either drink things that are tepid or at room temperature. Icy cold ice creams or really hot drinks, not a good idea. Not a good idea. You’re just going to aggravate the stomach. Chewing food properly and eating at regular times is very important as well. Digestive enzymes may be of significant benefit for you with HP. Because remember what we said? A percentage of people have poor stomach function. The over acidity that you’re experiencing is the gas production of the bacteria and the inflammation it causes in the wall of the stomach, so anti-inflammatory foods are good to have in the diet. Try to understand the fact that HP is an inflammatory kind of condition. By having an anti-inflammatory diet, you’re going to go a long way towards working with the immune system, not against it. So if we look at inflammatory foods, red meats, soda drinks, ice cream, sugar, alcohol, these are all inflammatory foods. Green vegetables and lean meats and neutral or alkaline grains are anti-inflammatory.

I’ve made other videos regarding inflammation and other articles you can read on yeastinfection.org that will cover this quite nicely. It’s important that you eat the right kind of foods. Anti-Candida or the Candida Crusher approach is a very good approach for eradicating this particular bug as well. I’d also like you to take an antifungal/antibacterial product. Many people, in my opinion, with helicobacter have also got low levels of fungal problems in their body like a fungus. They can have different kinds of fungus. Rhodotorula, for example, is a particular type of yeast that can thrive and Candida species can move there. They can have parasite problems. They can have cryptosporidum. They could have Blastocystis. They can have many other associated problems with this. Taking one particular product as an isolate, to me, is not really a good idea. I prefer you to take a broad spectrum approach.

In the old days, I used to give people mastic and bismuth and particular herbals like licorice. A particular form of licorice I found would be very soothing for the stomach. I’m continually working with Candida patients and parasite patients. I’ve created a formula and I’ve found that formula works beautiful with helicobacter patients as well. And that formula is called Canxida Remove. That contains a whole bunch of different things in it and some of the best antibacterial you’re going to find in any kind of natural supplement.

I’ll often start a patient on a half of a Canxida Remove tablet per day when they’ve got an HP infection or any type of upper digestive problem. I’ll start them on a half a tablet. And then after three or four days, I go to a half a tablet twice per day. In three or four days, I go to one table in the morning, half a tablet in the evening. In three or four days, two tablets. Three or four days… You know what I mean. I just gradually, gradually build up until they can tolerate three tablets per day, morning, noon and night. And I’ll keep them on that for a six week block. If you can build up to three of those Canxida Remove over a six week block, you should notice a significant improvement in your upper GI systems. Not only that, but you’re going to also really go to town on any bacteria or parasites further down in the digestive system.

I’ve made three products that I think are going to work outstandingly for helico patients, the Canxida Remove, the Canxida Restore and the Canxida Rebuild. The Restore contains enzymes and probiotics, which is perfect for people with helicobacter infection. The Canxida Rebuild, I think it’s one of the first multivitamins ever created for people specifically with gut dysfunction. So I created the Canxida Rebuild for people with helicobacter, with Candida, with parasites, with SIBO, with food allergies, with leaky gut, with all of these kinds of functional gut problems.

The Canxida Rebuild is an excellent product. It contains things like thyme and oregano and also I put mastic in there as well. Mastic is a resin they use in supplements. It comes from a particular tree that belongs to the pistachio family. It’s been used in middle eastern countries for stomach and GI dysfunction, so I put that in there. The Rebuild is basically a multivitamin with an antibacterial/antifungal base and it works perfectly with the Remove.

The Remove and Rebuild work beautifully together as a tandem. But when you put the Restore in there, you’ve got the triad of what I think are the three best nutrients for the gut. Try them out. They’re available as a pack. You can get them online at Canxida.com. They’ll soon be available here in Australia and New Zealand for many customers and all my fan base in Sweden. Hello all you Swedish people and people all throughout Northern Europe and Asia as well.

I hope this video has been of some benefit for you today. What am I going to say to close? You can’t eradicate helicobacter with a pill alone. Thanks for tuning in.
