Re: Helicobactor Pylori


I think we hypochondriac tendencies at times - just start talking or thinking about head lice or fleas and see how quickly you start scratching!

Manuka ia a sort of wonder cure isn't it? Good for small wounds and skin problems - just spread it on! - and apparently for internal probs too. I thinkthe bees collect from the manuka tree in NZ(?) (maybe Aus, maybe both) which is related (or even possibly the same) as the tea tree from which the oil is distilled. And we know that is anti bactericidal etc.

Re: Helicobactor Pylori


there has been an outbreak of this with ferrets in the U.S. (ferrets can catch many human illnesses like the common flu, one of the few animals that do this).
i know i'm talking about ferrets but apparently veterinarians around here have been treating with antibiotics and pepto bismol type remedies. probably not the most natural thing but thought i'd mention it.

Thats what the doctors here use too but it has had little effect on completely combatting the bug and so it re-occocurrs. Which is why I am looking into other things as a long term use of AB's cannt be good either.
