There is a tiny bacterium residing in the gut lining of about
two-thirds of all adults on the planet, called Helicobacter
Pylori. Research strongly suggests that this bacterium may be
central to the cause of 80% of all stomach cancers - yet this
dangerous invader is left untreated until it creates serious
problems.
One of the oldest debates in oncology is whether cancer is one
disease - or many. It is quite easy to see who benefits from
cancer being about 200 separate diseases - with many complex and
expensive drug, radiation and surgery regimens. Many advocates
of a 'unitarian' theory of cancer have literally been put out of
business as their theories oppose the interests of 'big pharma'.
One famous example is that of Royal Rife - who used an energy
device to emit vibration at the mortal oscillation rate (MOR) of
bacteria to great effect in the 1950's. His laboratory
mysteriously burnt down and he was dragged through the courts
for the rest of his stressful life.
Recent research at the University of Michigan (Michael F. Clarke
MD) suggests that a unitarian theory of cancer based on the
actions of malignant stem cells may not be far away. For much
too long the only refuge of a bacterial etiology for cancer has
been the complementary and alternative medicine movement, which
still suffers ridicule from orthodox practitioners for even
asserting the possibility of such theories. Yet the World Health
Organisation now recognise H. Pylori as a carcinogen that may be
as dangerous as tobacco and other pollutants. There are a range
of gastric dis-eases that have H.Pylori implicated:
"It has been found that at least 90% of those with duodenal
ulcers, 70% with gastric ulcers and 50% of those over the age of
50 test positive for the presence of H. Pylori. Indeed about 30%
of all people in the UK are probably infected with the

H. Pylori is a 'new strain' bacteria that has adapted itself to
the harsh environment of the human gut. Until 20 years ago it
was undiscovered. This clever little critter protects itself
from digestive acids with an antacid barrier, and protects
itself from the human immune system by burying itself in the gut
lining, causing inflammation. It also produces an enzyme called
catalase that protects it. All in all it plays havoc with the
digestive processes of about two-thirds of the people on this
planet with a knock-on effect to a whole panoply of human
discomforts and dis-eases.
Its still not known for sure how people pick up this bug but
researchers think it may be found in water supplies, infected

matter.
A couple of years ago I experienced the worst physical illness I
have ever known. I even called a doctor in the middle of the
night, the only time I have ever done this. My guts around my
upper stomach became severely inflamed and this extreme
discomfort put me out of action for a whole week. At the time I
put this down to the stress caused by UK government legislation
- a war of attrition over 12 months where the Child Support
Agency made a wrongly assessed 'attachment to my earnings'
effectively terminating my college lecturing career. Classically
stress is considered to be one of the causes of gastric
discomfort and it may well of 'prepared the ground' for this
invasion.
Over time I cut out wine, coffee, acid-forming foods but with
little improvement. I visited the doctor's who endorsed these
decisions, told me to go out walking more often and to his
credit mentioned that 'there is a nasty little bug called H.
Pylori going around' - which started this strand of research for
me.
Normally doctors will not treat H. Pylori until it provokes
serious gastric illness, and when you see what orthodox medicine
prescribes for this treatment its no surprise. At least two
anti-biotics, H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors and a stomach
lining protector. Although this prescription may be effective it
is also expensive, complex and has unwanted toxic side effects
such as nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting -meaning that many people
do not finish the course (patient noncompliance) and remain
infected.
The doctor did not prescribe for me - just told me to cut out
acidic forming stuff - which I did. But I also started to
experiment to see what would bring relief from the continuing
symptoms - gastric discomfort, acid reflux, bloating, poor
digestion, wind and inflammation. Cutting out wheat based
products was most helpful.
Just by 'coincidence' I found out that Pistachio nuts seemed to
relieve the discomfort. It was no surprise when I found out that
Mastic Gum, which comes from a related tree called Pistacia
lentiscus is a classic remedy for gut inflammation that has been
in use for thousands of years. There is increasing evidence that
shows Mastic gum to be effective against H. Pylori, with a range
of therapeutic effects on various gastric dis-eases. There have
never been any undesirable effects attributed to the use of
mastic gum. Since chewing this gum I am now completely relieved
of any gastric discomfort.
So as I'm writing this article I am chewing small pieces of
mastic gum and have adopted this as part of a preventative
'yearly spring detox' for internal parasites. It has a nice
woody taste, not unlike the smell of sandal wood or cinnamon. In
Mediterranean countries mastic gum has been used for centuries
for preventing tooth decay, healing mouth and skin ulcers,
controlling diabetes and reducing cholesterol levels. Some
African sources even attribute aphrodisiac qualities to this
most useful of substances - natural chewing gum !

treatment of your medical practitioner.
