Effective Natural Remedies for H. Pylori: Herbal and Dietary Solutions

Coconut Oil

I have been using coconut oil for several weeks, initially for weight loss. A few years ago, I heard of using it as a remedy for so many things, but when I tried it, my face broke out, so I stopped using it. I quit smoking (YAY!) almost 4 months ago, and not only gained weight but was told by a doctor that my distended belly was the result of h.pylori bacteria. I can't believe I aquiessed, but took the prescription for double dose antibiotics I was given. I have rarely taken any antibiotics, and don't like them at all. They caused a Candida imbalance, and a return of intestinal parasites. Then I came across a jar of organic VCO in my fridge, and figured it was worth a try. Amazing results; my energy level rose immediately, my belly started disappearing after a week, and I seem to crave "good" food, while being relatively uninterested in unhealthy food. An unexpected benefit was how clear my sinuses became; even 2 months after stopping smoking, my head and ears were stopped up. I am now experiencing some minor break out on my face, but am beginning to suspect this is a cleansing reaction from candida die-off, parasite die off and tobacco cessation. I think it is important that the VCO be ORGANIC. Thanks for the site!

I have recently been diagnosed with this little bugger. I believe several rounds of strong antibiotics a few years back threw my good bacteria off.Since then I have had lethergy, bloating and brain fog.I am thankful that I dont have the severe issues that others are suffering.I had my physician order the breath test and I tested positive fotr it.She suggested triple therapy along with a PPI. I asked her about other therapies as she is a ND, and she told me about mastic gum, rhubarb tincture, and VIT C. I have not tried the gum or rhubarb yet, as I have been researching the heck out of this. A couple things I have tried for a week now are as follows:

1 I make a cocktail of 3 grams of VITC, 2 TBL CRANBERRY CONCENTRATE, 3 OZ OF ORGANIC PURE ALOE VERA FROM BARBERDARIS MILLER, I then add 8 oz of distilled water to this. I take this before bed on an empty stomach.

2. I take 2 tbl of grounf organic tumeric, along with a little black pepper for absorption, in a big glass of water.

3. I have changed my diet, and have cut out ALL BREADS, PASTRIES, CORN, FLOUR, GLUTEN, WHEAT, PASTA., along with cutting back on sugar as well.

3. I take 2-4 TBL of EVC daily in 2 doses on a spoon topped off with 2-4 drops of organic oil of oregano .IT helps the oil go down better so it does not burn mouth or throat.

4. I am trying to eat more raw foods, and clean sources of meat. I find eating lighter helps, increasing my fiber intake as well.

5 I have a protein smoothie that has probiotics, greens, and vit, omegas in it.

6. I am taking acidophilus 20 billion living cells per 2 tbl serving it also has a prebiotic in it.( now some have issues with dairy I dont seem to) Quantum has a non dairy one

So far, this has been my result, it is very early and I am cautious to say any success as far as true eradication, as I am realistic and know natural things take persistence, patienc, and time.

so here goes.

My brain fog has been ALOT BETTER

I have alot more energy, and desire to do things, as opposes to lack of desire.

my bowels in morning are emptying completely, some days they are somewhat loose and with a strong odor, but I believe this is dieoff, as I am feeling alot better, and my stomach bloating has gone down after only a few days of this protocol. These were my main complaints, so I feel it is helping me feel alot better. So I do plan on adding garlic, ginger to this along with strong polyphenols such as resveratrol, green tea as well.

I just didnt want to add everything at once and thereby cause supplement confusion..lol.

I hope this helps you, and best wishes in your health journey:)

Cayenne

The natural cure for h pylori infection is cayenne pepper capsules between 500-1000 mg a day usually one or two capsules for 30 days and the cayenne needs to have a heat value of 90,000 btu's or greater. Works every time!

Several months ago, I became seriously ill. My stomach was upset at all times, leading to vomiting and diarrhea some of those times. It was determined that I had an h. pylori infection. Now, I have a general mistrust of doctors. They seem to know a lot about pills and surgery but very little about achieving and maintaining health without surgery or hard medicine. For this reason, the common proton pump inhibitor/antibiotic method was not appealing to me.

It has now been one week since I began my own remedies, and I am feeling better than I have in some time. I am sharing my daily regimen, so the work put in will help someone else.

Every day I drink apple cider vinegar. 2 teaspoons mixed with 8 ounces of water 2-3 times daily. In addition, I take 4000 mg's of coconut milk in pill form. I also take 2 DGL pills every day, and finally probiotics, 50 billion cfu's with live cultures. It is very important to ensure that you are guaranteed live organisms no matter what brand you buy. Also, please make sure that you buy the apple cider vinegar that is brown with "cobwebs" floating inside. The cobwebs are enzymes and called "mother". The clear apple cider vinegar without mother, has next to no health benefits. Okay, that's it. Again, this regimen has helped me feel better in about a week. I am still not 100%, but I will update all of you on my progress, and any changes to this regime.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Aloe Vera, Lemon Water

Apple Cider Vinegar WORKS! I have suffered from constipation,weight loss, cramping and bloating for about 5 years. Recently I had some lab work done and discovered that I have h.pylori. The doctor immediately prescribed me antibiotics. I have never been a pill popper,so I investigated other natural remedies thanks to my chemistry professor. He suggested ACV 2tbsp. before bed, 2 ozs. of aloe vera juice throughout the day & fresh warm lemon water in the am. After 1 day I saw the change in my bowel movements and my over all well being. I have noticed that I have shed 3lbs, but i know that was most of the toxins and impurities. I feel alot better overall. This is an amazing informative website.

Matula Tea

I have been suffering with very badly with H.pylori for at least the last 5 years. I had 10 treatents of antibiotics during this time without any success. Everytime I had the breath test it came back positive. I was getting so desperate about my health and even changed my Doctors several times after they all started to tell me that it was because I was panicking so much that I wasn't getting better. I finally searched the internet and found Matula Tea. I am pleased to tell you that Matula has proved to be a real winner and it has given me back my health again. A month after I completed the treatment I did the H.pylori stool antigen test and it came back negative. I was so happy I couldn't believe it. So much so for the antibiotics and other drugs that simply didn't work. I feel duty bound to let other people know about Matula Tea and how it has worked for me. ' What I found great about Matula Tea is that I didn't suffer any side effects like I did with all the antibiotic treatments. I hope that all you people that are suffering just like I did will find my story beneficial to your future health.

Hey, dear friends at EC, Please put this up at the top with my other posts because it will give people a real strategy to follow. Love you all.

H pylori got me deeper than c diff : I got past c diff in a few days with black seed oil, Manuka Honey Sac boulardi probiotic etc. H pylori festered in me for a month before it attacked hard.

Now for some deep in advice. You have to kill them, right?.... so how.

Firstly, you can make a hostile environment that they cannot live in. You do that by not letting them spew out the enzyme, urease, which makes your stomach alkaline. They like alkaline and propagate in that environment. So, you keep your stomach in an acid state by drinking a bit of cranberry juice every hour or so and eating some zinc each day and eating vitamin C (simple ascorbic acid) with each meal. The h pylori is so savvy as to keep your stomach, alkaline so your food takes longer to digest and ferments in your stomach and they love that and grow more. This is a good reason to not ever eat too big of a meal. I have been guilty of that for decades as an athlete. Eat many small meals per day.

Now, the doctors offer you a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) simply, Prilosec, which slows the production of stomach acid.. They are treating your symptoms and allowing the antibiotics to work better but allowing the h pylori to increase in numbers. Their strategy is to leave you enough acid to digest food. If you have ulcers, you can take 1/4th to 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 4 oz of water a couple of times a day. This is a "Ted" remedy because with a small amount of water, the baking soda will move quickly through your stomach, give you a bit of relief from ulcers.and move on into your intestine, helping the alkalinity there and putting your body into an alkaline state, which is good for fighting disease. Now, Pepto bismol is a better choice than Tums (which is calcium; do not drink milk because the calcium alkalizes the stomach and you don't want that). Pepto Bismol has bismuth in it and treats the stomach lining and is not just an antacid.

It is a tricky balance but keep the stomach in an acid state as much as possible.

Next, you can stop the h pylori from making and sending the urease, by taking black walnut extract or cranberry (unsweetened) or cedarwood extract or others you can look up. If the pylori cannot excrete the enzyme, and if your stomach stays acid, it will die.

I made the mistake of only trying to kill off the bacteria with, hydrogen peroxide, or silver, or fulvic minerals etc where now it is dieing off daily because I keep it from producing urease and keep the stomach in an acid state.

Finally, you need L reuteri, Sac boulardi and acidophilus and bifidus probiotics and some soothing substances like licorice, slippery elm etc.

OK, so kill it off, make the environment so they cannot live, and shut off their enzyme . Go get "em!!

Manuka Honey

Posted by Ross (Hawke's Bay, NZ) on 07/11/2021

If the throat infection is Helicobacter Pylori, a very slow growing tough dual skinned bacteria with a tail, then the Manuka Honey would do the job.

But you need to buy Manuka Honey with a MGO rating (Methyglyoxal) rating of at least 80. The MGO rating is calculated when building the batch. Manuka Honey is made in hives put into the bush by helicopters amongst Manuka scrub.

If you get Acid Reflux, this is an indicator that you will be infected with H. Pylori.

Put a teaspoon of the Manuka Honey in your mouth under your tongue each day for 7 days. It will mix with the mucous in your mouth and spread. I would not take Manuka Honey long term after reading Metabolical by Dr Robert Lustig. Methyglyoxal is a result of Fructose processing in the body - he talks about the Maillard Reaction.

But Helicobacter Pylori is a tough bacteria. It can survive in Hydrochloric acid in the stomach and because it exists on the 'skin', antibiotics have trouble getting to it. Helicobacter Pylori is known for being able to infect the mouth, nose, sinuses, oesophagus all the way down to the stomach. It has trouble surviving in the intestines because other bacteria eat it.

When fixing stomach ulcers (caused by H. Pylori) with the Manuka Honey, I found it also cleared infections in my lungs causing Sleep Apnea and my Hay Fever faded away the next spring.

Good Luck.

Someone posted this cure for h pylori on Earthclinic but I can't find it now. I took 3 capsules daily, 40,000 H.U. (450mg) for 2 months with and without food. I still suffered with pain for the first week but since then, I have not had any pain. What a wonderful relief.

Hydrogen Peroxide

H2O2 cured H. Pylori (bacteria)

I used 3-5 drops of hydrogen peroxide in 8 oz. distilled water. First day 3 drops, then the next day i used 5 drops. The third day bacteria passed through my colon with a splash of blood. Simple and amazing!

Oregano Oil

re: Update on oil of oregano -- Taking the oil of oregano has really helped. I felt wonderful for 2 days then felt like I had the flu for the next 2 days. (Headache, dizzy, muscle and bodyaches ect.).But I think it was things being killed off in my body and a release of all those toxic critters. I have also done some reading about tumeric and have been putting it on my food which I think helps too. I take 20 drops of oil of oregano 2x's a day in water. The brand Im taking is Oregano Spirits 'by Herb Pharm. I hope this helps because I was feeling like the Hpylori was killing me. I was miserable and had no energy at all. After the oregano Im feeling so much better and I have more energy. Maybe because my body doesn't have to fight the Hpylori as hard with the help of oregano. I could be wrong but that is what it seems like to me. Im just glad Im feeling better! I hope this helps.

Hi, I've had h pylori since childhood, for several years I have been severely affected suffering notable deficiency of b12 and blood iron levels amongst many other symptoms, I have managed to adjust my diet enough to improve and control symptoms well enough to carry out serious research.

I also noticed that when I eat Japanese umboshi plum it instantly makes me feel 'good' inside' my palate also changed quite immediatel. I looked this up and discovered that it is indeed powerful against h pylori.

After thorough research I have ordered ingredients for preparation including but not exclusive of propolis and mastic gum, as I have discovered knowledge to indicate them as being most efficient at eradicating h pylori, at 1 gram 3 times a day with a diet free of carbohydrates and processed foods, after min 2 weeks max 6 weeks for complete treatment.

For extra fool proof I shall include plum and colloidal silver which I have found to help. Also I shall be constructing to teas to help detox liver and kidneys to aid elimination of toxins and reduce die off symptoms and discomfort.

I shall return with updates on recipes and how they work for me, along with any side effects I find in my observations.

For H. Pylori broccoli juice cured my daughter. She went to the hospital about 3 times in one month. She could not keep anything down. I took a stalk of broccoli to her on her sick bed. She felt great within 10 minutes. She has been better since.

Can't seem to kill H-Pylori... I tried the Matula tea and it did nothing. I re-tested and it was still positive, had a very hard time getting my money back. I tried the Mastic Gum, Broccoli sprouts, Cayene Peper. Nothing has helped and I refuse to take those antiboitics, they make me sick. There has to be something out there that helps. I take pro-biotics, cinnamon, ginger. I am at a loss, even tried cranberries. I don't understand why they can't find something else to cure this stubborn bug.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, Cayenne

I've been diagnosed with H.Pylori a while ago and refused to see the doctor after one round of unhelpful antibiotics. My stomach would sometimes bleed a little. I could detect it from my saliva and stools. But it wasn't a big deal. Last week, I was trying to finish my dissertation and was really stressed. My stomach started bleeding constantly so I figured it probably turned into an ulcer, though I don't know the exact diagnosis. I started using ACV+baking soda (which had cured my acid reflux and stomach problems previously for 8 months but had then stopped working) along with Cayenne Pepper. I mix all of them in a bit of water and take it on an empty stomach. Within a day or two my bleeding stopped and I generally feel an increased sense of well-being. Thank you EC, and thank God for natural remedies.

Agree with Alib.

Matula Tea helped me tremendously, and certain people can have bad reaction from normal food, such as peanuts or milk, so like with every new product try and see. It is definitely MUCH safer than antibiotics!
