Drug-Free Stomach Ulcer Treatment That Works

Eradicate H. pylori

H. pylori is a common cause of stomach ulcers, both from an allopathic and a functional medicine perspective. This microbe causes inflammation and damages the stomach lining, which can eventually lead to ulcer formation. In allopathic medicine, the typical treatment involves prescribing antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria. However, the approach differs between medical perspectives, particularly in the type of antibiotics used and the timing of their administration.

In functional medicine, it’s important to heal the stomach lining before introducing botanical antimicrobials. Potent botanicals such as oregano and goldenseal are highly effective, but their strength can aggravate ulcer formation if the stomach lining is still damaged. Other commonly used natural antimicrobials include sweet wormwood and peppermint. Among these, oregano is considered one of the most powerful, as it targets a wide range of microbes.

Healing Stomach Lining

Aloe vera, cabbage juice, and slippery elm are highly beneficial for healing the stomach lining. Foods rich in glutamine play an important role in supporting this process. The supplement form, L-glutamine, is particularly effective in repairing and strengthening the gut lining. The healing period typically ranges from a minimum of two weeks to a maximum of six weeks. It’s important to restore the stomach lining within this timeframe before introducing botanical antimicrobials.

Proper Diet

Following a proper diet for two to six weeks can help restore the stomach lining and prevent further accumulation of harmful microbes in the stomach. Focus on eating more fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts. Try juicing fruits and vegetables with ginger or turmeric, as they also have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. During this period, avoid foods that are more likely to contain microbes, such as eggs, meat, and dairy products.

One Important Thing...

In allopathic medicine, it is commonly believed that stomach ulcers are caused by excessive stomach acid production. As a result, medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antacids are often prescribed to block acid secretion. However, according to clinical experience and the work of Dr. Dicken Weatherby, truly high stomach acid levels are rare. In fact, most individuals tend to have low stomach acid, which can contribute to increased microbial growth in the stomach. Therefore, it is better to avoid using these acid-suppressing medications when dealing with stomach ulcers.

In conclusion, treating stomach ulcers without drugs involves several key steps: healing the gut lining, eradicating H. pylori using botanical antimicrobials, following a proper diet, and avoiding antacids.
