H-Pylori

[Guest guest]

Hello All.

I have been following the thread about H pylori with interest and am

confident that serious herbs like Hydrastis can help with the infection.

Two things I wondered about.....first following the use of anti-bacterial

herbs such as Hydrastis etc which would presumably wipe out some of the

" friendly " bacteria and considering that pylori infestation will have

altered the flora anyway what are the preferred methods of encouraging the

return of a healthy flora in experience.

And if using pre or probiotics and are any particular brands favoured over

others. Presumably herbs such as Calendula, Glycyrrhiza, Althea etc which

support the mucous membrane will help.

Also what are thoughts regarding the premise that total eradication of the

bacteria is neither desirable nor neccesary given that such a large

proportion of the population have it present in the gut with no apparent ill

effects. Is it a case of bad terrain favouring an overpopulation of the

bacteria which leads to the imbalance and damage.

Thanks
