Bacteria Fight
Gut Buster: It's been about 20 years since researchers first determined the link between infection and stomach ulcers, pinning down specific bacteria called Helicobacter pylori as the culprit. Now, it's considered
the No.1 cause of ulcers and gastric cancer. Those aren't the only problems Helicobacter can cause though. Tummy Trouble: For the most part, it's been generally accepted that decreasing levels of stomach acid are a normal part of aging, albeit one that is often overlooked by mainstream physicians. But recent research indicates that this may not be a natural decline after a - Helicobacter might be to blame. And it can cause a condition called atrophic gastritis that has been linked to low stomach acid output.
The implications of low levels of stomach acid are far-reaching. It can cause digestive problems such as pain, indigestion, microbial contamination of the small intestine and even intestinal parasites, since gastric acid is the first line of defense against these organisms. Finally, low gastric acid can lead to nutrient malabsorption, particularly vitamin B12, iron and other vitamins and minerals.
Immune System: Studies suggest that in some cases, Helicobacter presence appears to
upset the normal functioning of the immune system, leading to chronic disorders and even autoimmune diseases, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) that causes the blood to leak from fine blood vessels. One investigation of 16 patients with ITP found that Helicobacter was present in 87 percent. And eradication of Helicobacter led to a complete remission of ITP in more than half of these patients. Red face: Even conservative medical circles have started to acknowledge that there may be an association between Helicobacter eradication and improvement of rosaceous. In fact, in many cases, eliminating Helicobacter has resulted in complete recovery from this stubborn skin disorder.
Skin allergies: There is also a strong association between Helicobacter and an allergic skin condition called chronic urticaria, and eliminating it has resulted in clinical improvement in 73 per cent of patients. According to one group of Japanese researchers: "In chronic skin diseases, persistent infection with H.pylori may be an eruption trigger and may cause deterioration of the disease into an intractable and chronic form."
If you have any of the conditions listed above, consider getting tested for Helicobacter
