Gut dysbiosis is connected in a big way to chronic mercury toxicity, which is epidemic although unrecognized. People my age got this toxicity from their teeth and the younger generation mostly from "those products that must not be named" so it seems. It messes with the immune system's ability to keep gut pathogens and parasites under control. I believe that it is this underlying cause that has some people getting chronic Lyme and others being so sensitive to mold.
When Covid hit I got terrible heartburn from everything I ate. I think it was from the stress of seeing the world go mad. I tested for H-pylori and it came out negative but who knows. In any case, what saved the day was Cat's Claw.
H pylori is a normal inhabitant of more than half if the worlds population. Two scientists were credited with its alleged correlation to ulcers. But Martin Blaser later showed its presence in human remains over 5300 years ago, making it more likely a normal part of 1/2 the world's gut flora. We have so much to learn about the role of so called harmful bacteria as H pylori that we attribute diseases to. Its historical and current omnipresence indicate it is likely a possible benefactor as a regulator of stomach acid production and appetite by influencing the composition of the gut microbiome. Some studies indicate H pylori may protect against gastroesophigeal reflux disease and esophageal cancer. Makes me think of Ron Johnson's recent interview with Tucker Carlson, where he claimed his acid reflux was resolved by taking hydrocloric acid supplement.
This is why I spent time on my above article explaining that the type of test that is now available, can determine whether it is just a commensal bacteria (doing no harm) or whether it is pathogenic. We test for the amounts -virulence factors. I have been testing for a long time and have read hundreds of tests. I also make correlation because I work with these clients in other areas like colonics. These people are suffering from the effects (endotoxins)- bloating, gas, distention of belly, horrible heartburn- and if the h.pylori becomes more pathogenic it can cause cancers. It is vitally important to determine the level of infection.
Interesting. From your posts, I may not have ever guessed that you are involved in this type of research. What type of virulence factors are you looking for? Perhaps H pylori may become pathogenic because the gut ecosystem has been destabilized by food preservatives that act like antibiotics which allow it to flourish and do harm. Or maybe a lack of microbial diversity, including keystone species like Akkermansia, may keep H pylori in check. Western medical research seldom includes the ecological factors, which may tend to rule out pharmaceutical options. As an undergrad in biology and ecology, my aha revelation began in 2014 after reading Missing Microbes (Martin Blaser) and then after reading Rodney Dietert's 2016 The Human Super Organism.
Thank you for all your great Substack posts and pics
And that makes perfect sense about Ron Johnson. If you read my article it explains what the H pylori infection does to the gut acidity.It will literally remove the proper acidity + create urease, so of course he felt better when he put it (the acid) back in with the HCL.
'H.Pylori has been associated with peptic ulcer disease, dyspepsia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, iron deficiency anemia, low-grade gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma in all sites'.
In other words, the bacteria is the result of the condition.
Bacteria are janitors.
There is not one she'd of evidence that proves bacteria cause disease.
Not one study that uses purified bacteria to replicate a disease in a host.
This is so interesting. I tested negative for this but have all the symptoms. I’m going to try the tea option and report back.

Thank you so much for posting this! I've had disabling bloating, gas and distention-every day-for 8 long years. Ugh, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
It seems like doctors don't really have an inkling or care to know what's wrong with your gut.
I'm not 100% sure I have h-pylori, but I think I may try the tea anyway. What have I got to lose?
Any suggestion on how much to start with would be very much appreciated. Thank you. ❣️
Yup. It cause a wicked ulcer.

In Peru they ferment a potato and say that treats the pylori. I have also seen supplements sold in Peru made from that same potato, tocosh.
Thank you I think my friend has this. I'm sharing right now.
Thank you so much. I used to take a drug for hartburn.
I have since weaned myself off. Have learned I was eating too much at incorrect times.
Also stress from a husband going into dementia.
