Deep dives

Understanding H.Pylori and its prevalence

H.Pylori is a common corkscrew-shaped bacteria that infects approximately 50-60% of the world population. It is often asymptomatic but can cause a range of digestive issues such as heartburn, GERD, belching, nausea, and weight loss. It can also contribute to skin issues like chronic hives, urticaria, eczema, and psoriasis. Testing for H.Pylori can be done through stool antigen tests, blood tests, biopsy, or urea breath tests, but these tests may not always be accurate. It is important to consider the severity of symptoms and the individual's goals before deciding on treatment, which could include antibiotics or herbal supplements like Matula T, Mastic Gum, NAC, and immunoglobulins.
