The spiral shape of H. pylor allows for penetration into the stomach lining where they are protected by the mucus Ining. While H. pyri resides in the mucus where itis presont in its motte form, mucus is constantly produced by the epithelium and shed into the stomach lumen, This ‘continuously releases planktonic H. pylori celsinto the stomach, H. pylori infections are usually harmless but are also associated witha number of gaswointestnal ciseases, suchas pepticuleer disease ‘and gastric cancer: The infection can also leed to an inflammatory response, increased secretion of gastric acid, anc type-8 gastritis, Interestingly, severity of the clinical manifestations of the infection is associated with bacterial load." Helicobacter pylori infection in humans can cause gastritis. The infeetion elicits 2 complex immune response in wihich the activation ‘of mast colls and histamine release is of particular importance, Histamine further promotes the immune response and stimulates ‘gastric acid secretion? This may further explain the role of histamine in inflammation within the digestive tract, Phatmaceutical therapoutic options for H. pylor:infection aiming ‘at complete eradicstion include various combinations of proton ump inhibtors combined with two to three diferent antibiotics ‘This complex approach has inherently high risks of side effects and non-compliance as well as intestinal microbiota damage and the development of antibiotic resistance, Therefore, there remains @ ‘therapeutic gap for persons infected by H. pylori Could a new bacterial strain be the answer? Much research has been undertaken to find novel ways of ‘capturing and reducing the bacteria within the stomach, In recent years, evidence has accumulated suggesting that H. pyleri could be eradicated from the stomach through selective intercellular interactions by some particular lactobacilus strains Tests were cariad aut on a large collection af lactobacillas stains ‘The collection was assembled from wild-type strains of diverse origin, such a2 food sourees, plans, vagetables anc human skin. Over 700 lectobacilue strains wore tested, of which, only eight wore found 10 co-aggragate with spiral forms of H. pyror. OF these eight, one showed the most beneficial results and was studied further.

The surlace structures on L. reuteri DSM17648 contains adhesion molecules that recognise and adhere to the surface structures of H pylorin the gastric mucosa. Once bound, the H. pylor will beushed from the stomach alongside the L, router by natural bowel movement. Interestingly, the aggregation activity was preserved when the cells ‘were spray dried.

The study found that this combination wae successful in eradicating H. pylori in over 50% of patients and had good tolerability and compliance.’ This could be an interesting protocol for practitioners to try with their patients ‘Alternatively, using the L. reuteri DSM17648 on its own has shown benatical results even with young eniliren. What role does MANC® play in the reduction of Helicobacter Pylori? FH. pylori roleases the uraase enzyme which divides urea into ‘eerbon claxida and arnmonia in the stomach. H. pylor algo produces histamine, which increases the acidity in the stomach, Using @ process ‘called ‘protonation’, ammonia picks up a hydragen atom to produce ‘ammonium, This allows the H. pylori to use foth the ammenia and ‘ammonium a6 a shield to protect itself against the gastic acid Ammanis is alan known to make the stomach lining more soluble ‘which allows the H. pylori to burrow through more easly MANC® is 3 clean and sata form of clinopticite zeolite thet ‘absorbs and oliminates ammonium from the stomach and intestines, MANC® also binds and eliminates histamine procuees by H. pyle thereby alloviatng the associated digestive problams. This also stops Histamine being absorbed ny the body, where f would otherwise b= {fee to ciculata and cause histamine modulated symptoms in areas ‘where histamine receptors are prasent ¢., lungs, heer, ora, skin, MANC® also binds and aliminates the protective shield of ammanium which slows H, pylon to survive in the stomach, (Over 5 days, the ammonium shield can be slowly broken down, leaving the bacteria exposed to the acidic stomach conditions Gastric acid is then able to kill off the infestation and eliminate H. pylor, stopping further production of ammonium and reducing the burden on the liver created from H. pylori This also optimisas the level of acid in the stomach, ensuring that thers isnt too much acid, nor toa litle acid.

However, as DrEugene Zampieron wars, "A bone scan shows that osteoporosis is there, but doesn’t show the couse. You really need to get lab work done, because the lab work will determine the way the practitioner should gowith handling the case.” Dr Keith McCormick agrees. He saystwo ofthe most importanttests to have done are those for markers of bone reabsorption and bone formation, Bone resorption markers include tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and collagen breakdown products (such as pyridinium cross‘inks,galactosy hydroxylysine and crosstinked telopeptides CTxand NTX,) FFthese markers are high, it indicates thatthe osteoclasts are ramped up, and ithe osteoclasts are proliferating, thatis a strong indicator some sort of inflammation may be involved, Atestfor PnP (total procollagen tyge 1N terminal propeptide) isthe preferred ‘marker for bone formation and an indication of how much osteoblast activitys happening Ifthat’slow, you know your body is not making bone. ‘A24 hour urine caeium test screens fr calcium loss from theblood serum. that’ high, it indicates you might havea parathyroid issue, There isa PTH testto see if the parathyroid hormones are elevated.

IF you're taking such drugs, he suggests running full nutrient profile to look at calcium, ‘manganese, magnesium, strontium, boron, zine and other nutrient eves Zampieron aso recommends testing for deficiencies in vitarnin Dand vitamin K, especially for people wh take blood thinning drugs. 1 Arann oats 2 hee 2 83am 4 truverra.

The US National Osteoporosis Foundation recommendsa bone density test of the hip and spine using ‘a central DEXA machine as the gale standard test for bone strength and to diagnose osteoparasis, DEXA scanner isa machine that takes atwo-dimensional picture of a three dimensional object (your bones), Itproduces two Xray beams, one high- energy beam and the other low-energy. The machine measures the level of X-rays that pass through the bone from each beam. Based on the difference between the two beams, your doctor can calculate your bone density, based on the amount of bone mineral content divided bythe bone area, Unfortunately, DEXA results can be imprecise for a number of reasons. A ‘major problem is that with ths test, larger bone willseem to indicate ‘superior strength, but may in fact have the same density asa smaller bone This means peogle with a smaller frame stand a statistically higher risk of being misdiagnosed with a DEXA scan than someone who is large-boned. Inaddition, studies show that total body massindex (BM) impacts “precision errors” when scanning the lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip and total body bone mineral density” Inother words, obesity affects the results of the can. This means that two people might have the exact same bone density, levels of calcium and strength in their bones, but the DEXA scanner frequently reads the bone density information differently because oftheir weight. Another serious issue with DEXA scansis technician error. An accurate BMD reading is larg dependent on the sil ofthe technologist in placing the patient in the same position fo diferent scans On top of that, measurement from different brands of DEXA machines vary and are often subject to different standards, and the accuracy of comparative \ measurements taken with cfferent instruments soften poor "The main reason why there are a lot ofercorsin DEXA scansis the way the technician sets the person up and sets up the machine,” says Dr Keith (McCormick, "And then there's aso the way the radiologist readsit. So when Ido a consult with somebody, idan’t ask forthe radiologists report. | want the bone density printout from the machine ise.” DEXA scans are recommended every year or so for people with osteoporosis to monitor the amount of change inbone density, sothe attending physician can adjust treatment accordingly. But the vagaries of DEXA scans are often easily seen when scans are compared overtime. "The reports usually about four pages and has lite pictures oni," says McCormick, “Andif Ican seethe pictures andi! can say, ‘Oh, look! They internally rotated that femur more this year then last year, that’s going to change the results. I's really easy to screw itup. There are regions of interest that we want scanned, and ifthe technician putsthe region of interest just amilimeter diferent from one scan to another, it can change the reading.” McCormick nevertheless continues to use bone density scans. "You just really have tolookat them closely. Youhave tohhope thatthe technician is good.

One of the reasons can be related to the fact that our body's collagen levels deplete Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is in the skin, hair, nails, bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue throughout the body. Collagen keeps our joints strong and healthy. At the age of 25 our collagen levels start to deplete. By the age of 40 our body's ability to produce collagen decreases by 25%, by age 60, it has decreased by over 50%, Healtharena have been the leading brand of Collagen Supplements in the UK since 2003.
