Andrew Wan - 13 Jul 2007 15:40 GMT Is it possible that a person may not show any signs of helicobacter pylori
infection but carries the infection? According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori
it says "...infection may be symptomatic or asymptomatic (without perceptible
ill effects)."
According to
http://www.helico.com/faq_infection.html#Q11
and many other sources, they say one possible way of transmission is via the
mouth.
I have been with my spouse since 2002 (5 years). My spouse has been diagnosed
with HP (helicobacter pylori). She undergone 3 months of anti-biotics and
still has HP. I have never shown any signs/symptoms of HP. When I read how
easy HP can be transmitted it made me think. I remember when me & my spouse
tried the inhale/exhale kissing method. I must've been the HP carrier.
I tried to pursuade my doctor for me to have a HP breath test. But I was
rejected with "laughter from the hospital" & "wasting NHS time and money".
If I do have asymptomatic HP then wouldn't I reinfect my spouse over and over
again?
What are your thoughts? And should I persist in getting a HP breath test?
Lastly, I found it very hard finding a HP diet plan. My spouse is lactose
intolerant (can't eat/drink dairy/milk content) so it's very hard. If anyone
who knows a lactose intolerant HP diet then please let me know.

Cheeky Bastard - 17 Jul 2007 23:04 GMT First time around years ago when I had the first test I had to of all things blow up a balloon. Seems you exhale the stuff. Second time around because a doctor didn't believe I had it for years was a blood test that showed it.
These days I've learned it's all about aggressive treatment of several things at once and if you have a doctor who is not willing to catch onto this then it's time to flush him or her.

Simon Waters - 14 Jul 2007 18:59 GMT > If I do have asymptomatic HP then wouldn't I reinfect my spouse over and > over again? The literature suggests reinfections rates are quite low, and quite a lot of spouses are likely infected, so it seems more likely the infection is just not being eradicated in the first place. There are no doubt things spouses can do to increase/decrease the risks.
> If anyone who knows a lactose intolerant HP diet then please let me know.
One paper suggests Broccoli sprouts are a potential food to try. I'm always suspicious of such things, and couldn't find follow-up studies, but sounds like it wouldn't hurt to try it. They ate broccoli sprouts, twice a day, for seven days.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > but sounds like it wouldn't hurt to try it. They ate broccoli sprouts, > twice a day, for seven days. Actually, more than one paper has been written on the study of H. pylori and broccoli sprouts. The first study was published in 2002, then a small, preliminary human clinical study was published in 2004, and a larger study in Japan published a year later. Of course, nothing is confirmed by FDA standards, but the studies are interesting. Here is a link to 3 of them: http://www.brassica.com/sci/papers.asp#stomach, namely:

HP does not cause ulcers. These spirochetes were found in the human stomach in 1898 and dismissed, yes dismissed, as the cause of ulcers.
You have ill health and are being conned by the medical monopoly for their benefit and profit. Welcome to the real world of medicine.
Investigate natural hygiene. Begin to live a lifestyle that does not promote indigestion. In a few weeks you will no longer have indigestion and ta da, your stomach problems will abate and heal in time.
Sorry that no Nobel Prize is associated with the health truth.

Michael B - 15 Jul 2007 12:55 GMT Ya know, I'd like to think that this crowd is sophisticated enough that your advice is unnecessary. However, since the original poster made reference to a piece of Wikipedia info, and since "Dr Cee" came up with the included proposal, I directed him(?) to there. Rather than directing to the Nobel Prize Committee to tell them how wrong they had been.
But while we are on the same subject of Wikipedia disclaimers, the same holds true on ANY MEDICAL ADVICE gotten from most anywhere, including medical professionals who are not necessarily fully aware of all sources and content of information on the subject.
In other words, the patient/client still needs to try to be the most informed on products they apply to or within their body.

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2005 jointly to
Barry J. Marshall and J. Robin Warren
for their discovery of "the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Barry Marshall's original work was in 1984. There was a strong correlation between dyspepsia and peptic ulcer and the presence of HP in the stomach. And the use of antibioitics against HP cures ulcers that were once longterm, intractable, and frequently required major surgery. Toom

The spirochetes HP were discovered in 1898. Marshall and Warren did not discover them first. Marshall and Warren are not justified in receiving the Nobel Prize. Receiving the Nobel Prize does not validate the work nor make HP the true cause of ulcers. The treatment is three fold and not always successful. HP is not found in all cases of ulcers. Clearing HP does not "cure" all cases of ulcers. The data clearly indicates that HP is an innocent bystander as far as ulcers are concerned.

Big Pharma wouldn't have been too pleased with them, since they found a simple, fast and cheap treatment and cure, where Big Pharma had been making lots of money on long-term drug treatment of symptoms. HP in the stomach may well have been discovered in 1898; the important bit is recognising it as a causative agent in peptic disease. Where HP is present in ulceration, removing the HP by antibiotic treatment usually effects a cure.

By accepting the allopathic con, you take drugs to eliminate a spirochete which may be associated with the stomach flora, but does not cause ulcers. Thus, you may never remove the true cause for ulcers and they can and may reoccur.
This is only one of the problems that occurs from believing the medical lies and deceit.
Correct your diet and lifestyle. Eliminate indigestion. You will then have removed the cause for ulcers and the body will heal in time.

Yes, there is a cause for ulcers. In type A gastritis, it's your own immune system. In type B it's helicobacter pylori. In type C there are chemicals like NSAID or gall fluid reflux. Plus there is acute gastritis from various cases like transient hypoxemia. So, you're right, there is a cause for ulcers.
If you do not believe that H. pylori is associated with gastric ulcers, even now that the nobel price committee has awarded a nobel prize for this discovery, then you should really, really, renew your world-view. And you should definitively NOT give medical advice, ever.

Type A gastritis is caused by your own immune system. How very stupid. My body and yours works to provide me or you with health and not disease. I cannot accept this excuse for knowledge and understanding.
In type B, it is due to a bacteria which cannot cause ulcers under any circumstances. This is the typical allopathic con and lie. Bacteria do not infect and cause disease. If the bacteria are present, they are innocent bystanders. This has been known and accepted by scientists since 1870. Yet, the present medical monopoly needs this lie and continues to promote the germ theory of disease.
In type C, you are admitting that ulcers can be an iatrogentic disease, a disease caused by your allopathic doctor. Here I can agree. If the docs don't kill you, they can cause you to be sicker than before you went to them.
Investigate medical history, not just the history the pharma shills would like you to believe.

HP accounts for ALMOST all peptic ulcers, accounting for 80 percent of stomach ulcers and more than 90 percent of duodenal ulcers. Steady use of NSAIDS and other meds can cause ulcers as well.
