Ulcer, any good cures/remedies

[Ammit]

Hi all

Prob not the right place to put this but, my step daughter has been diagnosed with an ulcer, any ideas for a cure...
Blessings

[Beth]

I moved your thread to health/healing forum.

Also, aren't ulcers created by a bacteria, and if so, I would think colloidal silver could be helpful.

[Arpheus]

Ulcers may have many things that can be a cause for it,including emotional,i believe by changing your dietary habits its not that hard to get it healed,do some research on the web there should be plenty of articles about it i would think?

[Ammit]

Many thanks Beth, not too sure about bacteria but just looking for advice.

Ammit, Is this a stomach ulcer ? If it is your Dr Probably told you that almost all stomache ulcers are caused by the H. Pilori virus. The Dr. that discovered this was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. early 1990's I think. Almost all "natural remedy" type of books have suggestions on how to do this and many of the "remedies" are the same. Most are extremely easy and you may have the ingredients already at home.You didn't say how old your daughter is. The hardest part for some people is to avoid the foods that irritate the ulcer(s) and to destress as stress triggers excess stomach acids. I think all of us here at Project Avalon( especiallythose in the US) have to be really careful not to give medical advice. In the US it is ILLEGAL to use the "cure" word for treatment of diseases (physical or mental) whether you are in the medical field, a book author or just an everyday person. I don't know about the laws in other countries. I wish your daughter a speedy recovery.

Thankyou all

Ethereal blue being, she is 26 years old, as for being told, no, she was just given tabs and told to give it 2 weeks.....

Good thing I used the word 'helpful' ;)

Ammit,

It is often of great importance to try to discern the underlying reason for the problems.

For example: I have known people with stomach problems like this that resolved down to stress, and that is just other layer, the cause of the stress being the underlying problem.

Once the layers have been identified and resolved from the root cause upwards, healing can be very fast.

It is very important that all stomach (peptic) ulcers be treated by a medical Doctor..as there can be real and serious life threatening consequences such as bleeding..perforation and or infection etc.. I was treated for a stomach ulcer two years ago.

Caren, how was yours treated?

[Arpheus]

I had a bleeding ulcer around 7, 8 years ago i was around 30 back then,i never used a doctor for anything,i did my own researche and changed my diet,my ulcer was stress related and i was fully aware of it,once i realized that and figured out the right type of food to help it along the way i healed myself 100 per cent.That was my own personal experience and absolute proof to me that we are creators and how amazing our own powers can be when we focus on the problem with a conscious positive attitude.

Bananas are good for ulcers

Hello Arpheus,
I would say that you are very lucky to have "healed" yourself (bleeding ulcer) having done your own research.. and I am glad you are well and healthy.
However Science has proven that 'most' peptic ulcers are caused by a now well known bacterium called "H.Pylori" and not by stress nor foods eaten. It is known that stress and certain foods we eat may 'aggravate' an already existing peptic ulcer. There are people who have stomach ulcers and have no idea they even have them. This has been documented in the medical research.
Again, it is very important not to ignore a suspected or known stomach ulcer..Especially..if there is any sigh of bleeding...this can have life threatening consequences for some. Stomach ulcers should not be taken lightly or ignored.

Hi Beth,
When my ulcer was diagnosed, I had a simple blood test to check for the presence of "H.Pylori" bacteria in my stomach..(this is where it lives..in the stomach). It came back' Positive'. I was given a specific antibiotic to kill the bacteria and after I had taken all the medication..my blood was rechecked for it's presence. It came back 'negative'...no more H..Pylori! My stomach lining was then able to heal with no further symptoms and I felt so much better. Just wished I had known about it sooner... :)
love to all

I highly recommend the web site earthclinic.com . Please go there and click on the tab "ailments" and then look for ulcers. One of the most popular remedies is baking soda (bicarbonate potassium) and apple cider vinegar (with mother), I recommend brand name Bragg, it has to be raw and organic.

Please go there and read all testimonies and ways people did the remedies.

This web site is really amazing and I have used it for some years now, they only present natural remedies for many illnesses and ailments. What I like the most is that is the real people who talk about how they have applied the remedies and real results, it's a wealth of information.

I am just an OjibWa Algonquin Medicine Man, this is not a medical advice, I recommend you to consult your Health Care Provider to get his/her opinion.

In Québec we have took care of this problem with 4 cups of hot water with one table spoon of baking soda.

Wich brings me to Edgar Cayce who has promoted via his almost 15 000 readings the importance of intaking Alkaline food and drink. Baking soda is Alkaline. Now if you look trough Pubmed,org the National Institute of health in US you will find out trough peer reviews, double blind studies, that it is very important to bend towards alkaline food and drinks to avoid the next phase of gastric ulcers , that is Acid Reflux.

If your ulcers give you a real problems do your homework as stated above and you will become probably free from these inconvenience.

I agree with those who have suggested baking soda and water - as it is alkaline and most of our bodies are too acidic.

One must heal the ulcer and then one would be best to stay on the correct alkaline/acid diet. Very simple to follow. Attached is a link:http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/acidalkfoods.html

Of course, one must also review what is happening in their lives and find ways to avoid or reduce stress related situations.

Good Healing, Love, B

This is one instance where drugs may be required. Antibiotics to kill the bacteria.

An easy, safe place to start is with an inexpensive supplement called DGL. It's a licorice extract and will 'rebuild' the soft lining of the stomach. For sure it will cure gastritis and I mean cure. Should help with the ulcer as well. Make sure you get the chocolate flavored. The plain is awful in taste.

[tone3jaguar]

Look into an alkaline diet. Many times these are caused by acid diet and lifestyle (stress). The stress also causes acids.

[norman]

Can an ulcer be ( or seem to be ) anywhere other than the stomack itself? I've been having what I thought was a grumbling Apendix on and off for a month. A friend just suggested it could be an ulcer.

I'm very well aware that ulcers are serious. I know of someone who died because of a burst ulcer or two. I think his was brought about by excessive alcohol over a lengthy period, but, he'd quit 6 month before his ulcer/s burst.

[Caren]

Hi Norman,
Yes..ulcers can also form in the intestines, more commonly in the small intestine. If you are concerned, might be a good idea to visit your Doctor to at least discuss your issue.
All the best Norman,
caren

[lindabaker]

It is the bacteria mentioned above that originated in swine. H. Pylori. Flies carry this bacteria. Flies land on your food, and there ya go! Bismuth cures it in pigs. Antibiotics work to kill the bacteria, but you must finish the course. I really dislike antibiotics and use them only when I absolutely have to use them. This bacteria wasn't known about until recently. Please see your doctor!

[Snowy Owl]

Whatever bacteria it is yogourt and vitamin D and Zinc is the answorten.

1. See a gastroenterologist. (sp)
2. Watch your diet, some foods aggravate the problem (no matter what some may say) I have been through this.
3. Many meds help like Prilosec ( Prevacid did not help me) You need to have medical advice

[TigaHawk]

My partner has Ulcerative Collitis ( i know i've spelt that one wrong :P)

Too much Alcohol seems to agrivate his tummy. But it may be different for every person.

If she's got a terminal Ulcer condition, i'd recommend injesting Pig Whipworms. Some stomoch ulcer conditions are triggerd because the immune system is over-active (cough vaccines cough) and is getting confuzed and is attacking healthy stomoch cells/bacteria. Chucking intestinal worms into the mix gives the immune system something in the stomoch to Attack, rather than attacking itself.

MMS a cure from all pathogens... I have tried it ... It worked for me.

1. Gluten free diet
2. Gluten free diet
3. Gluten free diet ;)

I second that one.

Soda has "hidden gluten" ..watch out for that caramel coloring..

And yet another reason to cut out soda.
I was astonished when I went gluten-free and realized just how many foods have hidden sources of gluten.

I'd strongly advice anyone with any illness at all to at least try going gluten-free for a few months. I'm of the strong opinion that gluten contributes it's fair share of many illnesses, if not the absolute cause of them. Definitely worth looking in to.

[seismorg]

I know for a fact that this works !
Try eating Licorice, chew very well ( " while standing up" ) swallow small bits at a time, your chewing will produce much saliva and it's this that will "cure" you.
May I recommend this book ISBN -13 978-1-85487-586-0, All good clean stuff, no artificial junk.

the ISBN of which begins with the publisher-specific prefix 978-1-85487. ... 978-1-85487-586-0. Thomas Bartram. Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine. 2000 ...

I had moved in with a partner some years ago, and my being a vegetarian, he didn't get to eat much meat, as I just didn't cook any...Maybe occasional bacon rolls at work?
I hadn't known he had been bothered with stomach ulcers until he mentioned a while after that he had been so much better after I had moved in. He thought it was because he was eating much less meat.

Meat requires a more acidic stomach content for the enzymes required to work, so maybe he wasn't needing to produce so much acid to digest beans etc?

Worth a try?


I was diagnosed with MS 8 years ago, and was strongly recommended to go on gluten free diet- it made no difference whatsoever.
I believe, if one has an underlying gluten intolerance, then any condition / general health will improve.
I dowsed, and wheat / gluten is ok for me. Oddly enough, the only food I cannot eat is long grain white rice - what they recommend you live on for 3 days when starting an Exclusion Diet!

Those who have O blood type are more prone to peptic ulcers than other blood groups, from observation. Oddly O types do well eating meat because they are able to produce more acid to break down the meat more easily.

.... Ulcers are more effectively treated with anti-biotics and acid blockers together with changes to diet which is probably where the problem was initiated .... so a reduction in acid causing foods - sugar, caffeine etc. - because these will slow ulcer healing .... and lifestyle changes (reducing stress because this increases acid production, smoking slows ulcer healing etc).

Vitamin A, zinc and glutamine (an amino acid - a source of energy for the cells of the stomach lining) are effective in helping heal ulcers. A proper naturopathic assessment is what you want to help treat current ulcers - alongside the antibiotics and blockers - and prevent future ulcers from occurring.

I was told by an old staff nurse not to take fluids when eating and to wait about one hour after the meal. Something to do with saliva. It also helps stop constipation.

[THIRDEYE]

goats milk my friend this helps nuetralize the acids in the stomach rather than using big pharmas drugs,also pickles nuetralize acid in the stomach also.......hope daughter gets to feeling well soon ...love light and abundance...thirdeye
