Question
Hello,
I was diagnose with infection of the stomach caused by H pylori.I want to avoid the standard treatment nad instead try natural/holistic approach.Are you aware of any supplements that can eradicate it and if so would you advise on dosage and duration of treatment.Thank you very much for your time
Sincerely,
Desi
You could try natural agents like black walnut oil and grapeseed extract, but the truth is, that even natural medicine practitioners often send people to get a prescription for the right antibiotic from their MDs because it works very well to vanquish H pylori. The new thinking is that we all have some degree of it, and to control it only if it is causing ulcers. Good luck to you. Meg Jordan
