Re: Honey killing H. Pylori

[Guest guest]

Ok, don't kill the messenger.

I found the third reference the most interesting because of the reference to

probiotics (with the lack of bifidus) - which is directly related to the SCD

http://www.manukahoneyusa.com/h-pylori.htm

Dr. Molan of the Waikato University, New Zealand found in his over 20

years of manuka honey research, that Active Manuka Honey seems to

naturally destroy staph aureus, streptococcus as well as h. pylori, the

bacteria responsible for stomach ulcers!

http://www.yourhealthbase.com/ulcer_drugs.htm

Honey as such has long been known to alleviate dyspepsia and diarrhea and

is a very effective wound dressing and antibacterial agent(29,30,31). Manuka

honey, however, is unique in its ability to completely eradicate H. pylori

and this effect is only found in honey from specific geographic areas(32). A

preliminary clinical trial of Manuka honey showed that ulcer patients who

took 20 g of honey four times daily, one hour before meals and at bedtime,

experienced considerably less pain and discomfort than patients who took a

honey with no antibacterial activity. Unfortunately, the preliminary trial

had to be terminated early, but another trial is in the planning stage. The

protocol of this trial will be modified by including a slice of bread with

the honey in order to increase the retention time in the stomach(32).

Following are some " Natural Remedies " that have been used with mixed

results for H. Pylori:

A 5% solution of " Manuka Honey " from New Zealand worked well in vitro to

kill the bug, with almost

two dozen studies backing up the claims, however I have yet to see a single

patient ending up with an actual " cure " after taking Manuka Honey. There

are also claims that pure Alcohol taken on an empty stomach early in the

morning will kill H. Pylori. Only one of my patients tried that approach,

and although the symptoms did indeed disappear for a while, they eventually

returned as severe as before.

Regular consumption of sulfur-containing sources such as Garlic, Onions, or

MSM is supposed to be helpful for H. Pylori symptoms according to some

sources. Similar claims are made for regular intake of Licorice and

Cinnamon, larger amounts of Vitamin C, as well as Coconut oil, or spicy

foods such as Hot (Chili) Peppers. All had shown to somewhat inhibit

Helicobacter Pylori in various trials, but again, none of these have really

proven to be effective in actual clinical settings on a long-term basis.

Probiotic-types of remedies (friendly bacteria) consisting of Lactobacillus

Acidophilus and Bifidus

- although not a cure in themselves - are an important addition to any

therapy for H. Pylori infection to help inhibit the bug, and to counteract

any headaches, early-morning nausea, or general dyspepsia associated with

low stomach acid alone, or following antibiotic therapy, with the

acidophilus being best taken at bedtime. Some patients only tolerate the

lactobacillus acidophilus, without the bifidus.

-- Honey killing H. Pylori

Honey will kill H. Pylori??? I've never heard of such a thing. Does anyone

have any more info on this? I am wondering if this is why I have such a hard

time with it. Maybe it's in there fighting all those h. pylori bugs.

Dearest One ,

Those were the words of Elaines and the website that she sent to us. Just

passing on the information about this honey and killing H. Pylori.

I do not know any more than this.

Loving Care, Grammy Gay
