H.pylori
i think recently i might appeared in blog ....Weird? Because i used to write Diary everyday.. I started writting Diary since primary school ,almost 10 years le ba. But i could really say out my feelings during secondary school.I have more than a month don touch my diary book. Doesn't meant i don have thoughts to share? Nope. Definitely Nope. --just due to my laziness. Haha.
Today , i went for blood test for
Helicobacter Pylori infection. I have the symptons caused by this bacteria.....RM 35 ( For Blood test only for H.Pylori test) but if whole body check up ( RM 109) ..
let me share bit about H.Pylori:H pylori could be contributing to your symptoms if you are suffering from any of the following;
1. Heartburn or Acid Reflux (GERD) Whether these symptoms occur on a regular, or even infrequent basis, you may well be infected with H. pylori.
2. Diarrhea, Constipation, Flatulence, Bloating. Because H. pylori interferes with acid in your stomach, you can't digest food properly.
3. Fatigue and Low Energy Levels.H pylori creates a non-stop stress on your body, making you feel tired. Added to the possibility that you are not digesting your food properly, your body is not getting the correct nourishment to maintain it's proper energy levels.
4. Nausea & Vomiting. Many people feel nauseous when with H. pylori infections. Sometimes this can mistaken for pregnancy morning sickness. In some cases, vomiting does occur.
5. Unplanned Weight and Muscle Loss. Because H pylori affects acid levels - which affects the digestive process of fats and proteins especially - you may notice that you are losing weight. The problem is that this weight loss is due to muscle loss, which is a dangerous way to
H. pylori infections - you are not alone...Research shows that H. pylori is present in 75% of the worlds population - that means 3 out of every 4 people are infected. When you consider this you can see there is a good chance you may be infected, especially if you have the symptoms of a stomach ulcer.
Also when you consider that nearly 90% of people with stomach ulcer symptoms are infected with this bacterium, as are 50% of new patients with stomach cancer, then we recommend you get a proper diagnosis to be on the safe side.
The facts we list below will give you an idea of the severity of H. pylori infections - and you will see how many infected people WILL get stomach ulcers as a result of this infection.
Of course the other major risk of H. pylori infections is
gastric cancer, which is strongly linked to the presence of H. pylori bacteria in the GI tract as well.
This is a hardy bacteria and can be extremely difficult to treat successfully with any of the conventional drug therapies that most doctors will prescribe.
The treatment of H. pylori in mainstream medicine presents it's own set of problems. Statistics show that the most commonly prescribed
drug therapies have failure rates of up to 70%.
Take a little time to get the real truth, so that you don't become just another statistic....
Once you have checked these facts, or if you have been infected for a while, you may think that Helicobacter Pylori is invincible....but the good news is that a recent breakthrough can stop this nasty little bacteria in it's tracks naturally and permanently!
The 8 real Facts about H. pylori infections that your Doctor probably won't tell you about...
REAL FACT #1Correct diagnosis is critical, as is re-testing after treatment (to make sure the treatment has worked). Yet patients are literally throwing their money away by paying for the wrong tests their Doctors insisting on using to test for the presence of H. pylori after treatment. (Sign up below for my FREE H. Pylori Report to find out more about this.)
REAL FACT #2 Conventional Medical Doctors simply have no options other than antibiotics when it comes to prescribing treatments for H. pylori infections. The prescription will almost always be either a Triple or Quadruple Therapy.
REAL FACT #3The latest drugs being produced are now being made more powerful in an attempt to be more effective - but the result is that the negative side effects are getting proportionately worse. These side effects cause most patients to abandon their treatment after a few days.
REAL FACT #4Most Doctors spend more time treating the side effects of drug therapies, than they do treating the original H. pylori infection.
REAL FACT #5The H. pylori bacterium is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotic treatments. It is widely publicized that drug therapies have an average failure rate of up to 70% in the treatment of H. pylori infections.
REAL FACT #6Many patients have been on more than 4 courses of the same antibiotic treatment - and they are still infected with H. pylori. There are patients who have taken 8 consecutive Triple Therapy treatments, without success.
REAL FACT #7The antibiotics prescribed for H. pylori infections are the direct cause of another major problem, one that conventional medicine chooses not to even recognize... Candida Albicans overgrowth.
REAL FACT #865% of patients infected with H. pylori are simultaneously infected with Candida Albicans, and they don't even know about it! Candida Overgrowth is a life threatening infection that is extremely difficult to treat. The last thing you want to take near a Candida infection, is any form of antibiotics.
Another 6 facts that everyone shouldalso know about H. pylori.....
75% of the world's population is infected with the Helicobacter Pylori bacterium. That means that right now over 4.6 billion people are infected worldwide.
816 million people alive right now WILL develop a stomach ulcer caused by an infection of H. pylori.
Over 50% of gastric cancer patients are infected with H. pylori.
Up to 90% of all stomach ulcers are caused by an infection of the Helicobacter pylori bacterium.
Most people have never heard of H. pylori. 60% of people surveyed believe that ulcers are caused by stress, and nearly 20% believe that stomach ulcers are caused by spicy foods.
Researchers have found H. pylori in the saliva of some infected people,and it has recently been proved that this infection can be spread by kissing. This recent discovery highlights the problem of re-infection of a patients who have been successfully treated, and also explains the problem of cross-infection amongst families who are not treated at the same time.
