Mastic gum supplier
I have tested positive for Helicobacter Pylori and have heard that mastic gum is the natural way to get rid of it. Can you please recommend a good brand and reputable supplier?
Mastic gum (Pistacia lentiscus) is very successfully used to help treat both gastric and duodenal ulcers, as well as to rid the body of both bacterial and fungal infections.
Supplements are made from the resin of the trunk of the tree and studies have shown how this can help protect the delicate mucosa cells lining the inside of the digestive tract when laboratory animals have been dosed with chemicals which can irritate this sensitive lining, including aspirin.
In terms of tackling the helicobacter infection, mastic gum has been shown to kill off seven different strains of this organism. Even better, in 70% of ulcer sufferers taking it, the damaged tissue repairs so well it is as if there never was an ulceration.
Low doses – just 1mg a day for two weeks – can help heal ulcers without unwanted side-effects and while antibiotics, of course, can do the same, they can also damage the lining of the gut, especially of you are taking them long term.
Allergy Research Group’s Mastic Gum provides a therapeutic dose of 500mg per capsule and costs £31.95 for 120 capsules. Take two a day, between meals. Mail order from Revital on 0800 252875.
