Navigating H. pylori: A Holistic Strategy for Infection Management

PREMIUM CONTENT

Helicobacter pylori, is a common bacteria that can reside in the digestive tract, occasionally causing gastritis, ulcers, and other digestive issues. It may also have no symptoms, and in those cases, I would not treat it. It is estimated that about 50% of the world's population has been infected with H. pylori, although I would argue that it is part of our microbiome. H. pylori becomes pathogenic in response to a toxic internal environment. When H. pylori presents with symptoms, you may experience:

• GERD, acid reflux
• Gastritis, ulcers
• Indigestion
• Frequent burping
• Bloating
• Nutrient deficiencies, especially iron, calcium, B12, folate, Vitamin A, C, and E.
• Nausea, loss of appetite
• Fatigue and weakness

Exploring Root Causes

• Chronic low stomach acid 
• Poor drainage
• Environmental toxins, especially those coming from food and water

Order of Operations

1. Balancing your circadian rhythm is the first step to healing. To learn more about how I've optimized my sleep, check out 8 Hacks that Took my Sleep to the Next Level
2. Switch to organic foods. Foods that must be bought organic to reduce pesticide exposure include:
   • Strawberries
   • Spinach
   • Kale, collard, and mustard greens
   • Peaches
   • Pears
   • Nectarines
   • Apples
   • Grapes
   • Bell & hot peppers
   • Cherries
   • Blueberries
   • Green beans
3. Replenish nutrient deficiencies caused by low stomach acid. The most common will be iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, Vitamin B12, and protein. You may benefit from using supplements in a liquid form or lozenge to optimize absorption considering digestion has been compromised. 
4. Filter your water either with reverse osmosis such as AquaTru (link applies discount automatically), or with a distillation machine such as My Pure Water (code: PAOLA)
5. Mineralize your water daily. You can use 1-3 capfuls of E-lyte daily. 
6. Support drainage for a minimum of 30 days. 
7. Target H. pylori, see instructions below.
8. Gastritis Protocol to seal stomach lining and/or GERD and Acid Reflux Protocol if needed.

A Comprehensive Approach to H. Pylori

Binders:

• ViRadChem: 6 capsules per day, in divided doses, with or without meals
• Ultra Binder by Quicksilver: 1 teaspoon per day, in divided doses in water, 2 hours away from meals and other supplements
• HM-ET: 2-3 capsules per day, in divided doses, with or without meals

Note: Choose one binder. They are listed based on potency. If you do not have experience with binders, I recommend starting with ViRadChem. Binders can make you more constipated. It is essential that you have 1-3 bowel movements a day to cleanse the body. Add one binder to the protocol for 60 days.

Anti-bacterials: 

• Fresh cabbage juice: a minimum of 1 litre of juice per day (1 litre equals 32 oz or 2lbs of cabbage)
• HPYL:SSR by DesBio (2 kits); one vial every third day in succession, hold in the mouth for 30 seconds. The vials are taken in series, ascending order (1-10) for the first 30 days of the protocol, then decreasing in order (10-1) for the second 30 days.
• Pyloguard by Microbiome Labs: 1 capsule per day in water, on an empty stomach
• Mastic Gum by Jarrow: 2 capsules per day, in divided doses, 20 minutes before meals

Note: Add all four anti-bacterials to the protocol and follow for 60 days.

Biofilm Disruptor for H.Pylori

• NAC by Pure Encapsulations: 2 capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals or 30 minutes before a meal

Note: Add NAC to the protocol for 60 days.

• Cellcore supplements can be accessed by registering for a Cellcore account here using my Patient Direct Code: FRtTCWs0
• DesBio supplements can be found on DBScript by signing up here. Alternatively you can sign up for a DesBio account by using my invite code: 7af652d1
• I would follow this protocol for a minimum of 30 days, ideally 60 days.  

If H. Pylori persists: 

• Consider impaired drainage pathways
• Consider parasites
• Consider potential environmental toxins that you are chronically exposed to in your environment 

Co-occuring Conditions: 

• If gastritis is present, H. Pylori can be targeted while targeting gastritis or before targeting gastritis: Gastritis Protocol
• If GERD & Acid reflux are present , H. Pylori can be targeted during or before targeting GERD & Acid reflux: GERD & Acid reflux Protocol
