Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I developed a stomach ulcer about 10 years ago and was able to cure it myself with a little research. This was actually what got me in interested in alternative treatments. I have also helped others do the same. One guy I work with had an ulcer since 1979 and was visiting a doctor for all that time and made no progress at all in all those years. I gave him the info below and he was well in 2 weeks. He came in my office one evening and said " I want to shake your hand, I just ate a meal that did not cause me pain for the first time in 17 years, " . I know his doctor had to know this info... I cannot understand why he did not help him. There are 2 things that cause an ulcer that I know of. 1. It can be chemically induced by using aspirin, ibuprofen or other drugs that have an action of disolving the tissue. Aspirin is an acid. Luckily the one I had was caused from taking too much of these two for pain relief for a couple of weeks when I had a pinched nerve in my neck. These drugs dissolve some of the lining in your stomach and can cause a sore, especally if you take them for a long period of time and they sit in the same place in your stomach time after time. You should never take large doses of either for over a few days at a time or you risk getting an ulcer from it. I learned this the hard way. Try letting an aspirin disolve under your tongue until it completely disappears and you will fully understand what it is doing to your stomach. It forms a sore and the acid found in the stomach eats at it as well and makes it even worse and will not let it heal even after you stop the aspirin. To get rid of it, stop taking aspirin first. You need to lower the acid in your stomach for at least 3 to 4 weeks by taking pepcid AC for a couple of weeks and then switch to tagament for two weeks. You also need to take pepto bismol 5 or 6 times a day, try to keep some in your stomach at all times. Pepto (bismuth subsalicylate is the chemical name) is an antibiotic and kills bacteria. You should see considerable relief in 1 week, all symtoms gone within 2. Continue lowering the acid in you stomach for 2 more weeks to give it time for full recovery. Eat anything you want after the first 2 weeks. 2, If you try the above and it comes back after a few weeks you have the bacterial kind of ulcer. This is caused by a bacteria called helicobacter pylori that goes very deep in the lining of the stomach and is very hard to kill. You will need to take 3 antibiotics all at the same time to get rid of it. Take penicillin, streptomycin and pepto bismol for a full 2 weeks. Also lower the acid in your stomach as described above. After the 2 weeks of antibiotics you need to keep the acid in your stomach lowered as described above ( 2 more weeks) to make sure it heals completely. Ulcers are not caused by spicy food or that kind of thing, it is caused by either one of these two reasons. When taking this much antibotics is is likly you will develop a yeast infection becuase acidophilus bacteria in the intestines and vagina keeps yeast from overgrowing. The acidophilus bacteria is killed by the antibiotics but the yeast is not so an imbalence is created allowing the yeast to grow out of control. To keep this from happening start taking acidophilus (pills). Eating yogurt also helps to replace some of the lost acidophilus. It is advisable to also follow this at any time you get a yeast infection for any other reason. It works better than the creams you buy at the drug store. Start taking it at the very first sign of trouble. Good luck. Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
