Here’s a fabulous question from a reader:
Yes, there certainly is an herb for every human condition! So what works best for <i>H. Pylori</i>, a helicobacter that lives in the stomach and survives stomach acid and gets out of control? When it does, it bores holes in the stomach wall, causes ulcers, cancer, and other pleasant effects. I believed the only way to conquer this one was with antibiotics, and I’ve had enough ineffective antibiotics to last me a lifetime! I’m taking Redmond Clay 3x a day on an empty stomach and I must have antacids to control the severe heartburn these little Pylori friends cause. I’m ready to pull out the big guns: the herbs Jesus created for His special creation, man! Can you help?
First, I know the antacids give you temporary relief of a sort, but they’re actually counterproductive. I’m not suggesting you throw them out before you have a replacement (keep reading), but I just wanted you to know that. I’m not at all sure taking Redmond clay on an ongoing semi-permanent basis is a good idea either. Fortunately, there are some great alternatives.
NSP has a formula that was specifically created for H. pylori — Gastro Health. This special patented formula has a selection of herbs specifically designed for: acid indigestion (heartburn, acid reflux), colitis, congestion (bronchial), Crohn’s disease, gastric inflammation, duodenal ulcers, leaky gut syndrome, ulcers, and a few other things not relevant here. This formula combines digestive stimulants, antibacterial and anti-ulcer herbs to fight against H. pylori bacteria and make the stomach lining inhospitable to infection. The label directions say take 2 capsules four times daily with plenty of water.
IN ADDITION, Aloe Vera Juice or freeze dried in capsules is extremely soothing to irritated skin and mucous membranes. Label directions:
“Take 1 T in a glass of water or juice. Sip slowly to relieve heartburn and inflammation of the esophagus. Sip during the day for ulcers and intestinal inflammation.” It’s good for acid indigestion (heartburn, acid reflux), Crohn’s disease, gastritis, inflammatory bowel disorders (Colitis, IBS), ulcers, and a bunch of other things not related to your problems. (NSP has several forms of aloe — you want the juice (stock number 1680), NOT the whole leaf.)
Another wonderful formula is Intestinal Soothe and Build relieves all kinds of inflammation in the digestive tract. It contains both mucilants for soothing and astringents for toning, plus a nervine and anti-inflammatory. So it’s good for abdominal pain and inflammation, acid indigestion (heartburn, acid reflux) colitis, spastic colon, Crohn’s disease, hemorrhoids, hiatal hernia, inflammatory bowel disorders (colitis, IBS), leaky gut syndrome, ulcers. Directions: Take 3 capsules with each meal.
If you have a lot of stress in your life, Stress-J is absolutely one of the best general nervine formulas available for stress and tension. Take 2 – 4 capsules every two to four hours. Nutri-Calm is the product of choice when your whole life is stressful on an ongoing basis.
