of H. Pylori. Half hour to an hour after meals I was experiencing a dull stabbing
pain in the upper and sometimes in the lower left abdomen. This pain would
sometimes disappear for weeks and reappear what seemed out of nowhere.
Eventually I started feeling very lethargic and could hardly drag my feet around
the office. My appetite was considerably reduced and even though I would put
a full plate of food in front of me I was only able to eat about a third of my meal
until I felt full. At that time I blamed it all on sleepless nights and the stress
that my wife and I had to endure over a complicated pregnancy and birth of our
first baby.

It all came down on me in one day. After feeling very weak I decided to have
some coffee at the office and I was immediately experiencing funny bubbling
noises in my stomach and seconds later I ended up on a toilet seat which felt
like a violent Pompeii eruption. My body could not handle any more acid. I
knew something was wrong and it couldn’t just be stress and sleepless nights
anymore. Next day I went to see my my doctor at PAMF in Palo Alto, CA.
I was pretty shocked. If you know me, I am a health orientated guy. My diet is
good, I walk quite a bit, I wash my hands all the time, in fact I am a bit of a
germaphobe (thanks to my RN wife). How could this bacteria ever find real
estate in my intestines was beyond me. My only suspicion was that I could have
brought it back from my trip to India and Nepal a couple of years ago.

protonics, (to reduce the extra acidity produced by the stomach and allow the
ulcers and sensitive stomach lining to heal), an a couple of different antibiotics
(to fight the bacteria itself).
After reading about the side effects and questionable effectiveness of prevpac I
knew I would do everything in my power to look for more natural remedies.
After all, I was not interested in merely treating the symptoms but wanted to
know what caused the bacteria and how I could have contracted it. I wanted to
go to the source and then find a total cure.
I went to my doctor and explained that I do not intend to take the prevpac and
instead listed some supplements I was planning on taking. He basically gave
me a “good luck” look and we agreed to meet again when I come back for a
retest and my prevpac.
I suppose its worth a Nobel prize but these esteemed gentlemen did not answer
one crucial question – How in the world this this bacteria end up inside of our
stomach lining in the first place? I am not saying I know myself but I have a
hunch which I’ll share with you in my last paragraph. First, let’s torpedo two
big problems – H Pylori and gastritis. Naturally, we must first tackle the source

so we must wipe the bacteria before we can eliminate the pain, you agree? Let’s
get started.
1. Monolaurin – a 12-carbon long fatty acid, derived from coconut oil but
prepared into a mono-ester of lauric acid, which is found in coconut milk and
breast milk (yep, the real nature’s miracle). 2 pills (600mg each) twice a day.
Total of 2400 mg per day. (Amazon product link or iHerb product link)

teaspoon on empty stomach three times a day before major meals and also one
before bed time. It tastes great, its rather expensive and effectiveness is
questionable but since its such a “miracle” I took it anyways to be sure. Make
sure to go for the 15+ or a bigger factor. (Amazon product link or iHerb product
link)
Licorice Drops
– Licorice root is well known around the globe for its anti-inflamatory, gastritis
relieving properties and inhibiting of H Pylori growth. Literature talks about
the compound called carbenoxolone synthesized from glycyrrhizin which plays
a key role in healing gastric ulcers along with reducing gastric secretions and
promoting development of intestinal mucus lining. If you’re prone to high
blood pressure, get the DGL kind. (Amazon product link or iHerb product link)
Olive Leaf
– another natural antibiotic. I took one by Gaia Herbs, two a day before food.
At least for me it produce a string detox effects so this it was yet another reason
to drink more water. Get the ones in photo-capsules. (Amazon product link or

Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice – helps the body absorb nutrients during
digestion and works as an anti-inflammatory – exactly what you need for
gastritis. (Amazon product link or iHerb product link)

Manuka honey – one teaspoon 20-30 minutes before each meal on an empty
stomach, one more before bed on an empty stomach.
Mastic gum – take two pills (2 pills x 500mg each) on empty stomach in the
morning, and two in the evening. A total of 2000 mg per day.
Take VSL probiotic right before meals or together but not after. Two capsules a
day. You’ll need one bottle of 60 caps.

Basically, you get up in the morning and take Mastic gum with plenty of water
(hydration is key). Wait at least half hour then take Manuka and wait a bit as
well if you can. Take the probiotic and eat a healthy meal, take Monolaurin with
your meal. Between first and next meal take the InterfasePlus. If you are
willing to go the entire route then you can take any other supplements like olive
leaf, licorice with food, and aloe after your meals to help digestion and ease the
sooth the stomach.
Yes, I know, this takes “pill popping” to a whole new level but hey, it still beats
popping the antibiotics and the rest of the stuff on the protocol suggested by my
physician.
Lone and behold, when results turned up two days later they showed that
Halicpbacter Pylori bacteria was gone. Holy cow was I pleasantly surprised!
After all, some people say they try these supplements without results but I
guess it was luck time for me. Honestly, I really think most people just do not
have the time or patience to go through this protocol.
The GI doc was very surprised to hear my story and said “Perfect!, I have a
patient who cannot tolerate the prevpac and she would really benefit from a
more natural method… would you mind sharing the supplements and the
protocol?” Honestly, that just floored me. A doc asking me for advice about the
info that is readily available online? I suppose he just needed a guinea pig as
myself for proof that the protocol is valid and effective. Regardless, I was happy
to contribute to the education of our doctors.

damage to the inner lining of my gut and she suggested I try some protonix
which is basically an acid suppressing drug that has minimal side effects. So
she prescribed to take PANTOPRAZOLE (Protonix) 40MG EC TAB. Three
weeks on that produced very very marginal results. I would venture to say the
drug was not effective.
We agreed beforehand that if protonix didn’t help, the next step was going to be
the endoscopy to peek inside my intestines to see what’s really happening there.
So I signed up and showed up at the hospital. RN was preparing to put me out
via general anesthesia but I really wanted to drive back home myself (otherwise
someone would have had to pick me up and drive my drunk brain home) so I
asked how bad the pain was of procedure. From 1-10 the nurse said it was 4.
This was enough to go commando and weather the pain, plus I wanted to see
the monitor and the camera inside my stomach.
After applying some anti gagging gel to my throat we were in! It all lasted only
about three minutes. The conclusion was, I had no ulcers but the inner lining
in my gut was irritated from bile that was coming up my stomach
and irritating the inner lining. In general this is known as Bile reflux –
a backflow of bile into the stomach from the bile tract (that connects to the liver
and gallbladder).
After asking what could have been causing this reflux the GI doc couldn’t really
explain properly and I was left to seek my own answers. Anyways, the next
step was the prescription of Carafate (SUCRALFATE (CARAFATE) 1GM/10ML
ORAL SUSP) which taken 20 minutes before food coats the stomach and
protects it from acidity of bile.
Two weeks on Carafate was welcomed with a decent improvement but not full
recovery. Mild nagging pain would still occur after more greasy or spicy meals.
Then my friend, who also had H Pylori infection a year earlier, suggested I take
Vitamin E and also D. I did more research, it all made sense so I went and got
some quality vitamins. We moved back to Europe two weeks later and about a
month later I noticed all of my symptoms and aches were entirely gone…
period, done, finished.
Note on the Vitamin D: Studies have shown that people infected with H
Pylori tend to be Vitamin D deficient. Whether it is the H Pylori that depletes
the vitamin or the deficiency itself invites H Pylori is still in question, however
what’s important is that the is a direct relationship between the two. There is a
study demonstrating that high doses of Vitamin D can kill H Pylori via natural
antibiotic in the body called cathelicidin peptide LL-37.

your chemistry class – H2O is essential for chemical processes to take place. It
is vital you do NOT drink sterile or soft water (purified by Brita or any other
filter). I believe drinking only purified water (void of calcium and magnesium)
contributed to my gastro problems. Read this about drinking deminirelised
water: (http://www.lenntech.com/health-risks-demineralized-water.htm) I was
totally oblivious to this and was sold by all the impurities hysteria so we only
drank filtered water.
According to the study in the link: “Recent epidemiological studies suggest that
low mineral drinking water may be a risk factor for hypertension and coronary
heart disease, gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, goitre, pregnancy
complications and several complications in infants. A study of this kind
conducted in 1992 by Lutai on two populations living in areas with different
levels of dissolved minerals showed that the population of the area supplied
with water low in minerals showed higher incident rates of these disease.
Children living in this area exhibited slower physical development and more
growth abnormalities, pregnant women suffered more frequently from oedema
and anaemia.”
The study proves for the first time how cortisol controls the recycling of bile
acids. Obviously, if you get too stressed out, you will be making excess bile
and sending it to your gall bladder, a system that can get overloaded. This
will cause excess bile to dump into your small intestine and start refluxing
back towards your stomach. This will cause heat or burning across your lower
ribcage, as bile moves backwards through your small intestine and into your
stomach.
My final advice would be this: before you spend hundreds of dollars on drugs,
supplements and any other magic potions to cure your symptoms you must
first address your lifestyle and stress levels. My case proved that it

Hope this helps and I wish you much patience. If you have any stories of your
own or any further questions then feel free to chime-in in the comments below.
If you go for this protocol let me know how you do!
So what’s going on? Well, I then learned that blood test can be an inaccurate
indicator because it only looks for H Pylori antibodies; it does not indicate the
current infection. As the source indicates: “h pylori serology [blood test] is
“useful in detecting a newly infected patient, but it is not a good test for follow-
up of treated patients because it does not indicate present infection with h
pylori. The antibody titer may remain elevated for a long time after h pylori
eradication.”
Stool test is more accurate because active infection from bacteria can actually
be detected this way. The most accurate test is the biopsy during endoscopy. So
it appears I DO NOT have H Pylori again but my body has naturally
developed antibodies because I did not treat the infection with
antibiotics! What this means is that there is a natural immunity and I’m WAY
less likely to get it again over someone who inoculated the bacteria with triple
antibiotic. Cool, eh? Yet another reason to go the natural route and use this
protocol.

Hi,
Did you suffer from anxiety & depression
REPLY LINK
Hi Kevin, I had some anxiety from overall discomfort and uncertainty but
nothing too major. I meditate and lead a spiritual life so depression never
really had a chance to creep in. Best is to take this a challenge and strictly
stick to the protocol without exceptions. I can imagine depression can only
make the h pylori symptoms worse as stress must be the biggest contributor
to h pylori’s proliferation in our system.

Hi there! I know this was written a while ago. My question to you is I have been
through months of stomach issues. I have gastriris (no h.pylori). However, I do
think I’m having bile backflow. Did yours just go away on its own? From
everything I have read there is no cure and you may have to get surgery. After
taking vitamin E and D? Which would you recommend and how much?
Also, did you experience any IBS like symptoms while going through your
situation? Any info you could give would be of such help.
Thanks!

Have you tried any changes in the diet? What helped me to relieve my
symptoms was what one Ayurveda doc told me: Eat big meals in the
morning and afternoon, last meal around 3 or 4pm, evening might eat some
clear broth but not much more. This allows the digestion system to rest and
recover over night. Another big tip: Chew your food very well, 30 times or
more prior to swallowing and NO liquids with meals. Water dilutes the
stomach juice and interferes with proper digestion. This is what I would try
if I were you: try Sattvic diet (look up online) for a week, don’t eat anything
after 6pm, chew food well and NO liquids with meals but hydrate a lot in
between – at lead 30 mins prior to meals and at least 1 hour (2 better) after
meals. Let me know how it goes, OK? Best wishes, Tadas

Hi there,

Hi Jessica, I don’t remember right now how much I took but it was more
than 2 a day for sure. Producer of Interfase Plus has a “Suggested Use: 2 to
8 capsules daily between meals or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.”
2 total a day maybe too few, I know I used up entire bottle in one month so
very likely I was taking at least 4 a day on empty stomach. Good luck.

HI,
Curious if your symptoms also included extreme fatigue, and disturbed your
sleeping.
I can’t sleep for more then 3-4 hours straight then get woken up by my stomach
sorta churning (lightly) including feeling extremely weak as if something was
holding you back. This also includes a little brain fog, where I have light
sensitivities as well as things look too dark/dim?
I’m doing most of what you listed, minus the interface plus, & Monolaurin
(which i take Virgin Cold pressed coconut oil),.. My symptoms seem a little
better but my improvement hasn’t been what I expected. I’m hoping the
Biofilms work..
Do you have any good articles that turned you onto trying Interfase Plus? Or do
you know of any like products?
REPLY LINK
Hi Kev, yes I did have fatigue and it totally makes sense that your sleep is
disturbed as well. I had read a couple of studies that showed a disturbed gut
flora can affect our mental health. I too experienced some brain fog but
luckily I jumped on the problem very quickly and saw my symptoms
improve within a week or so.
Now obviously, I’m not a specialist in this but coconut oil alone may not be
potent enough as the concentrated version of Monolaurin but I’m sure it is
still beneficial. I researched Interfase Plus and read other articles where
folks recommend it so if you look for it online you should find some good
sources, like holistic practitioners, etc. One of them was – “Dr. Ettinger’s
Biofilm Protocol for Lyme and Gut Pathogens.” There are probably other
similar products but I’m not aware of them.

I don’t want to open a whole new Pandora’s box about natural H Pylori
treatments but things I learned from experimenting with various things
over the years dealing with other issues I now believe another good
approach (perhaps much faster) would be to do an acid flush cleanse (
modified version of Hulda Clark Gillard method from “Cure for all Disease”)
and a two day fast (no food whatsoever). I read that a short fast (up to 60
hours)can increase our metabolic rate and (I’m only guessing) it would
allow the body to attack the bacteria and eradicate it faster. Again, the last
idea is only speculation that I would only undertake with more research so
its something to keep in mind.
Good luck and remember “this too shall pass”

has a lab referral for me to get tested, yet states not to have taken any
prescription medication for a period of two weeks prior. I have been taking
Manuka Honey for one month and Mastic Gum for one and a half weeks. I do

Hi Luisa, I’m not a doctor but I do not see any feasible reason why why
mastic gum or honey would falsify lab results. Mastic Gum is a food
supplement and does not fall under “prescription medications” and honey is
just, well, food If you come back negative on H Pylori then it will be good
news, that means your protocol did its job.

I hope you’re still receiving notifications for comments on here and could help
me by shedding some light on the diet topic.
I read you followed a strict diet during your treatment (no meat, no dairy and
no gluten products) and this is exactly what I want to do as well, which won’t be
too hard since I’m already a vegetarian that avoids dairy 80% at of the time.
However, I’ve read other h. pylori eradication success stories around the
internet and it seems like most people swear by a much more strict diet that,
unfortunately, INCLUDES meat. That being no grains, no corn and no soy.
Something along the lines of the Paleo Diet. What’s your opinion about that?
How did you get to the no meat/dairy/gluten diet choice?
Thank you so much for your time and congratulations on this very informative

Coconut oil. Very good probiotic. Vitamin C. Zinc. Eating very clean.
Consuming homemade foods including bone broth. No sugar no dairy. .and
eating home grown lemon balm for stress and sleep interruptions (*does block
thyroid meds if you are on them ) I am so so frightened that when we do finish
the protocol that we may not be totally finished so for backup we invested in
matula tea to have after all this. ……was wondering what your views are on this

Well, hello back! Happy to hear you finally nailed the diagnosis for your
son. H Pylori is easy to diagnose IF the doctor has enough insight to actually
suspect it to be the culprit. I had done research on Matula Tea and and the
feedback from folks that took it was very very mixed. I’d say the majority
noted it didn’t help them. I would be cautious trying various products by
themselves without a proven protocol. You might be setting yourself up for
a disappointment. The supplements I mentioned here work in a synergetic
way, some complimenting each other, some for backup but this protocol, I
feel, covers all the bases. I highly recommend following it in the way that I
described here, because this is what worked for me and many others. See if
Amazon will ship to Australia; they are pretty good about international
shipping these days. I hope you’ll get rid of this bacteria sooner than later
and recover your vitality. Sending many warm wishes your way. Stay in

I have a question! But first I wanted to share since the protocol I followed for
the past 5 weeks is extremely similar to yours. It was basically what you did
minus the InterfasePlus. (I read Ettinger’s article as well so I looked into the
supplement. The studies I read on the active ingredient, EDTA, and the

potential side effects scared me off of it.) I understand that disrupting the
biofilm is important but I hoped since I caught my infection early (I’m 99% sure
I only had the bacteria for maybe a week when I began treating it) the biofilm
wouldn’t have had a chance to form.
Now for my question (I know, I took my sweet time getting here): I’ve decided
to wait for a month until I get re-tested. I’ve heard you should wait at least 28
days after completing an H.pylori protocol to get re-tested lest the test yield a
false negative. However, I’ve read your comments and wanted to ask: Did you
wait to get re-tested or did you continue your protocol up until the day you were
tested?
My concern is that continuing to follow the protocol could subdue the bacteria
in the stomach to “acceptable” levels and therefore yield a false negative when it
fact the bacteria is still present. Have you ever been re-tested after you had been
off of your regimen for an extended period?

Wow, good job on the diet Lydia, sounds like you really did everything you
could. As far as the Interfase supplement is concerned it will be interesting
to see whether you did well without it. If you test negative it means it may
not be an absolute “must” for the protocol. You know, it is best to ask those
who understand the biofilm part. I thought the biofilm is always there, it
doesn’t just form with H Pylori but is always present in our gut. Problem is
that biofilm supposedly prevents the natural supplements reaching the H
Pylori bacteria and that is why it would makes sense to include the

the rest of the protocol should have taken care of the issue. I was led to
believe that the most important supplement in the entire protocol is the
Monolaurin one.
As per your question, I took all my supplements and finished the most
expensive ones like Inerfase and VSL probiotic within the month and then I
kept taking the rest maybe for another 7-10 days after which I went to see
the doc. I wouldn’t worry about false positives here, these are natural
supplements that make an environment for H Pylori inhospitable to the
point where it can no longer survive. We’re not talking about subduing here,
it should be a total wipe-out. From what I researched, there is a large
percentage of people (depends on race and age) who always cary this
bacteria in their gut but in some different “compartment,” so to speak,
where it doesn’t cause any problems. You could have contracted it from
somewhere or some other conditions could have caused the bacteria to
move and colonize in your gut.
Your last question, no I never had to test for it again as I never felt any
symptoms that I had during the infection. Don’t worry, sounds like you’re
on the right track. Go get tested again and come back to share your findings
and experience. Good luck, Tadas.

Hello Tadas,
I believe you mentioned in your article that you got retested several
years later correct?
A side question if I may, does it make a difference if I choose to take
Lauricidin mini-pellets instead of the capsules (or rather is it okay to
have either one of them)? After 10 days of taking the capsules, I
switched to Lauricidin pellets.

One more question if you do not mind: I have been doing the
treatment for like 10 days now and I am thinking of switching to
just the interfase (without the plus). My BM are not normal at
all since I am on the treatment. I am also concerned about the
use of EDTA in case I have mercury or something harmful in my
system. DO you think I really need the plus?

Wow thanks for an amazing article and the very helpful comments as well. I
wish I had found this earlier. After trying for 6 months in various ways to
eradicate my h pylori naturally I ended up going on the triple therapy
(amoxicillin, Clarithromyacin and a PPI). I was so scared of doing it but I just
kept being told again and again that I needed to do it and that it would resolve
my gastritis, but after finishing my course I am worse off than to begin with…
which was always my fear. I feel pretty devastated and haven’t gotten many
more answers. I’m scared that I have damaged myself with the antibiotics. Has
anyone else had this experience? Need a bit of hope here! Am thinking of
buying the VSL 3. Am also doing Mastic, zinc carnosine, DGL, l glutamine, a 55
billion probiotic and saccaromyces boulardi. Paleo diet as well. Seems to be
getting worse though. Would appreciate some insights if you have any. Thanks
so much, Nikki

Hi Nikki, perhaps someone else who had gone the triple therapy route can
chime in more but as far as I can say based on my research is that feeling
worse after the prevpac is not uncommon because it hadn’t worked and all
the acid that was blocked before with PPI is now causing more pain in the
bacteria colonized gut. I wouldn’t worry about any serious damage from
antibiotics. It is mostly people who abuse antibiotics who can have
problems down the road when their bodies do not respond to them. Do the
protocol I mentioned if you can, it works in all fronts to help eradicate h
pylori as well as healing the gut lining, etc. Also, I’d go to the
gastroenterologist for a check up if you feel awful as there could be others
factors involved. I honestly think H Pylori is a symptom of something else
going on in our bodies and lifestyle. Hang in there and check in when you
have some answers, perhaps others will find it useful too.

the blood test if you feel your digestion and gut feels normal. I’d say open a

Hi Jocelyn, sorry to hear about your little one. Have the docs diagnosed an
ulcer or you only suspect it to be one? As with anything, you need an exact
diagnosis to try and treat something, otherwise you might be shooting all
over the place and missing the target. I am not a doc so can not be of much
help with advice but one thing is for sure – if it is an ulcer then what’s
causing it? Is it stress, diet, pathogens, a combination of all? Zantac might
help with the symptoms but you know… you have to find the source of the
fire in order to tackle the health issue holistically. Good luck.

THANK YOU, firstly, so much, for taking the time to share this. So helpful.
A number of folks here have asked about protocol, and you’ve addressed
different parts of it in your responses.
I’m still quite confused about what to take when, and am a little worried about
taking several different supplements on an empty stomach (you indicate that
mastic, manuka honey, VSL and monolaurin should all be taken before
breakfast – also others have suggested Glutamine which according to the label
also should be taken on empty stomach).
And I have no idea when to take olive leaf, licorice, and aloe.
I feel it’s a lot to ask, but would you be willing to share your full daily schedule
of supplements with us?
And lastly! Did you avoid coffee? I hear h pylori loves coffee…but so do I. *sigh*

Hi Dave, obviously we’re just making educated guesses here but I wouldn’t
despair because some people respond just fine to the “standard” treatment.
I would definately suggest to support your system with a good probiotic,
quality vitamins and nutritious food. If you don’t respond to the protocol
prescribed by MD or the bacteria comes back then definately try this
protocol. Check out this study for vitamin dosages. The conclusion is very
clear: “Adding vitamins C and E to standard triple therapy increases the
eradication rate of H. pylori. Vitamins C and E may increase the eradication
rate via increasing the effectiveness of the antibiotics by decreasing
oxidative stress in the gastric mucosa and strengthening the immune
system” NCBI Study Link. Good luck!

Hi,
I read your story and found it very interesting, I was diagnosed with H. Pylori
20 years ago. Tried to do the antibiotic treatment but couldn’t handle the pain it
cause in my abdomen. I went to see a holistic doctor and she told me to drink
potato juice 6 times a day before each meal for a month. That completely cured
the discomfort. Last week, I had an endoscopy because I had terrible cramps
and the pylori came back, I had a really bad stress episode and right after the
pain started so, yes stress does something to revive a dormant pylori. Now, I am
just trying to kill that bacteria for good and pay close attention to my stress
levels. Off course we are what we eat so, eating a limited diet.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Hi Adri, yep, I really do think it is stress related, well actually, most of our

if you feel your body doesn’t deal with stress very well then look into a good
adaptogenic herb for yourself. Best to visit some Traditional Chinese
Medicine specialist and he’ll advise you on the best one for your body type.
Thank goodness the H. Pylori hasn’t come back to haunt me since that time.
Anyways, much patience to you now, hopefully you’ll bounce back soon. Be

Hi James, how long have you been on this protocol? Are you taking
all of these supplements or some? Most importantly – are you
taking a good pro-biotic? From what I know stomach discomfort can
last long after H Pylori is gone. Gut needs to heal, plus you might
have already had other issues with gut health prior to invasion of H
Pylori (which is usually what happens anyways.) Breath test is not
always reliable, and I do not know about blood test. I had to take
stool culture, which was positive before protocol and negative after
protocol. My gut too some time to heal too, just as described in the
post. Endoscopy will show the health of your gut and it can not
come back false negative because it’s a visual inspection, as you
know. Hang in there and let me know what you find out during the
endoscopy.

Hi Meryem, InterFase Plus – have him take one capsule twice a day on
empty stomach before or between meals, just the way it is suggested on the
product. I had no problem with mastic gum. I can’t possibly see how
someone can claim that it could have destroyed the stomach lining but I’m
not a doctor so please use your own judgement and research things very
well before putting anything in your body as there could be other conditions
involved. I have a feeling you can skip mastic gum altogether if you want,
just make sure you include something else to help heal the gut like aloe vera
or licorice, or anything else you can think of. Make sure your brother sticks
to the protocol, otherwise it’s a waste of money. Once I felt fine, I went back
on my normal diet right away, you just need to see mindful of your body
and digestion and do accordingly.

I went to my doctor and he did several tests.. I came back positive for CMV
(new infection based on the lab tests) I also went to a Gastro and got an
endoscopy. I was diagnosed with Hpylori, and doctor noted my whole
stomach was Red.
Prior to getting sick, the month before I took an antibiotic for a bad sinus
infection…. I can’t remember the name right now, but what I think
happened to me was a domino affect…
I took the antibiotic, that basically killed off all my good stomach bacteria,
created an imbalance, and allowed the Hpylori (whether it was there before
or not) create an active infection.. (Hpylori from what i know is a common
bacteria, and I think an active infection is when it really affects your

stomach).
Anyway I blame the antibiotic, and to this day I FEAR antibiotics… I went
against my doctors recommendation to take the ZPACK (two antibiotics and
a acid suppressor). I read online, everywhere for a natural cure, including
this website which probably provided me with the best baseline.
It’s been well over a year now, and I don’t know if i’m 100% healed.. but
from what I’ve read it takes a long time for the GUT to heal.. So i’m not
going to lie sometimes i get paranoid about not being cured from the
Hpylori, but at least i’m not getting the pain or the discomfort that I had
when I first was diagnosed.
I’ve been taking this for a few months now, and I feel like it works better
then the brand of Monolaurin from Ecological formulas.. I’m not sure why,
but I do notice a difference..
Anyway I’m sharing this because I do think that there are natural ways to
get rid of this bacteria.. However it might take a lot of time, effort, and
stressful nights.. I feel for people, because having Hpylori is scarry at first.
Psychologically it can really affect you as it did for me. However, I believe
you will get over it…
I’ve never got tested, for Hpylori again, but I don’t feel the need to.. I feel
like knowing that it’s possible that I still have it forces me to eat the right
foods, get good exercise, proper amounts of sleep, and to take the
supplements that help me live a healthy life..
I seriously will not take anymore antibiotics and would rather stay on a
protocol of eating healthy, taking known supplements that fight bacteria
naturally.

3 or 4 times in the day. this could be due to EDTA and as soon as I switched to
the original ‘Interfase’ product, the PVCs stopped. but my concern is, if I don’t
take enough amount of calcium in my diet, my symptoms get worse along with
other resulting problems with low calcium. how do I deal with low electrolyte

tolerated well but again, make note how they are processed. Most dried fruit
in stores have quite a few preservatives on them so again, stay as natural
and organic as you can while the digestive track is so sensitive. Drink lots of
fluids, that’s key. Good luck, hope you recover soon.

combine too many things at once, especially things like apple cider. Not
sure about your brother but it sounds like he needs a good medical exam
with blood work, etc. to rule out anything obvious. My general rule when
there’s any stomach ailments is to eat well, avoid raw vegetables (too hard
on digestion) and take a very good probiotic. Please seek professional advice
about his condition, no reason to guess or experiment. Good luck

Hi Ramkumar, I’m not sure about broccoli extract, please do more research.
Probably all veggies are fine as long as they’re lightly cooked for easier
digestion (Ayurveda recommends this). I’ve heard apple cider can be
effective too as past of the protocol but I haven’t tried it as the main tool
alone. Again, see if you can find more info about this on search engines. Be
patient, this will pass. Your body itself is trying to fight it even without you
helping it.

You see zero improvement because it’s not so simple. If it was, I would have
said that the protocol requires only two ingredients. Anyways, I just
updated this article and included Turmeric as something to try for sure if
you can not obtain the rest of the supplements. As far your other question:
don’t shift, just add those two to the protocol. Also DGL is not necessary,
unless you have blodd pressure issues, the regular type of licorice is a more
complete product and could be more effective overall.

Hi,
Thank you for all this information – hoping to cure mine naturally as well and
my naturopath’s protocol matches 99% of yours, so I think I will add the
monolaurin. Had a question about the section regarding avoiding filtered water.
What do you suggest? Just drinking water from your tap and ditching the Brita
pitcher or purchasing something? If purchase, what would you recommend and
from where?
Thank you!

Hi, as you know, water quality can differ from town to town, country to

levels of chlorine, etc. I personally allow to sit regular tap water in a glass
pitcher for a day and drink it. I also use filtered water to make tea. I
wouldn’t worry about water too much unless you know your town has poor
quality for some reason.

Hi Liz, from what I remember, I didn’t take any during the protocol. Not
sure how that would effect the success of the treatment via these natural
methods but it’s always a balancing act. Try it all with PPIs if you have to
and then continue without as soon as you feel you can do without the PPIs.
The supplements in the protocol should still do their job against pylori, the
only question is how effective they will be but time will show. All these
supps should also help your ulcer, especially Aloe Vera gel. Good luck and
get well soon!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been looking for a comprehensive,
logical & honest review on this subject.
I was told 6 years ago after a gastroscopy that I was H.Pylori+, and recently I
have been experiencing pain in my duodenum. The doctor has just done a test,
to see if I am still H.Pylori+.

If it turns out that I have a suspected ulcer, I will try your protocol first.
I am very determined and will adhere to your protocol with great discipline.
I am sure this is the right way to go.
So, I have already got some of your items, like Manuka Honey UMF20 & the
probiotics. I am using a different probiotic called ‘Primal Flora’, as I am little
concerned by the strength of the VSL#3. This maybe a mistake, as the probiotic
might be the key to this protocol, but I figure, I can always try your
recommendation second time round, if my version does not work. The probiotic
I am using only has a 20 billion count per serving rather than the VSL#3’s 112
billion, but I will give it go.
I will let you know what happens in a couple of months time, whether the
results are good or bad?

Hi, I’m here because I believe I’ve once again been hit with a resurgance of H
Pylori after antibiotics. I’m not sure if anyone can ever eradicate permanently
forever. I mean 50% of the population has it, and the chances of getting it again
are pretty good.
Just an observation – I had a negative stool test last time, and a positive biopsy
test from the endoscopy. So stool is definitely not foolproof. I’ve heard the
breath test is the most accurate next to having a biopsy during endoscopy.
And also the Olive leaf – I’m not sure it’s a good idea. I think some of these
things kill off the good bacteria too – if it’s a natural “antibiotic” that is. I know
oil of oregano can kill off good bacteria (not mentioned here) because it is a
natural antibiotic. But then, I’ve not looked into olive leaf much.
I was just here trying to figure out whether to use VSL or mastic gum. I’m not
big into taking a thousand supplements. My body doesn’t react very well. Mastic
gum didn’t work much for me last time. I never used VSL for THIS issue. My

last bout, after taking the triple antibiotics and feeling like I was going to die
and then for it NOT to work, and taking acid blockers – and which threw me
into diabetic level blood sugar levels, it’s the last thing I am willing to do.
I think from what I recall last time that what helped me most was carrot juice,
Metagenics ultraclear (very expensive so not willing to do this again, and I think
DGL licorice. I targeted more from a gut healing perspective. Not sure if I really
got rid of the H pylori, as I never had a follow up test. I think glutamine sources
to heal gut can really help. And cutting the carbs because they feed the bad gut
bacteria.
I still struggle with adrenal problems, but I was on steroids for a short period
and weaned off. I think generally I’ve come a long way till recently with this
bout of….who knows what.
Very frustrating that because I was forced to take antibiotics for something else,

Hi Wendy, I took have had my share of mysterious symptoms over the past
three years and still trying to get to the bottom of it but it is all related to our
gut and nervous system health. I know that most people have H Pylori and
it doesn’t cause any problems but I think that is because they have strong
immune system and strong adrenal health. Plus I developed bad insomnia
and then things really went down hill. I have read that H Pylori may not
manifest with traditional symptoms and may in fact cause leaky gut and
autoimmune issues at which point it because exceedingly difficult to
pinpoint the source of one’s poor health. Anyways, many answers can be
found in testing and yes the endoscopy with biopsy is most accurate. I think
mastic gum should be no problem for you, certainly less problematic then
another antiobotic. Why not try go the natural route? Yes there are many
antifungals, including oregano oil that you mentioned but it’s not necessary
to take them oil. Key thing is brake down the bio-film with enzymes and
then blast it with monolaurin and mastic gum. Olive Leaf is a natural
antibiotic and it will not destroy your good bacteria, I’ve taken it many
times. Do take a quality probiotic but make sure you don’t have SIBO as
that can make things worse. My friendly advice would be get off antibiotics,
do the gut healing protocol and the thing that helped me most to recover my
energy levels was daily Qi Gong which helps to fill the body with energy

Hi Jason, let me know what you find out from your endoscopy, OK? I’m
having very similar issues. If your gut looks all fine then you might be
having methylation issues which have to do with the function of your liver.
This is what I’m boiling it all down to – allergic reactions due to weakened
liver function which is constantly draining the adrenals. I’ve tried a ton of
supplements but this time it’s not as easy as dealing with H Pylori. I’m now
working with a homeopathic practitioner and will give this a shot – she does
see the same issues that I’ve boiled down to over the years – allergic
reactions to various foods (histamine intolerance) and compromised liver
(even though all tests show normal ranges).

There you go Jason, this makes sense. Even slight variations in liver

doing this yet, look into a quality silymarin supplement and try
roasted dandelion root coffee daily – these two are awesome for
restoring liver function, you’ll feel it within a couple of weeks. There

then do a stool test. But during an endoscopy the GI doctor saw gastritis and
pushed for the antibiotics saying that even if the stool test come back negative
after the herbs there could still be H Pylori. And as I am doing research it seems
that H Pylori could be behind a lot more issues than only digestive ones. I guess
I am wondering if doing the antibiotics would get rid of it once and for all. I am

Renata, first of all please don’t worry. You can do one at a time and see how
things work. Antibiotics is a by far NOT a sure thing and many report their
symptoms come back, sometimes worse, due to gastritis flaring up after
anti-acids are stopped but for many it works and they have no more
problems. Anyways, if you do the antibiotics your good inestinal flora will
be wiped out as well, compromising your immune system even further.
Listen to your mama’s advice – always try the natural way and then listen to
the doctor :-). It is true that h pylori can be behind a variety of issues but it
is also true that half of the population has it but it does not cause any
problems. You better ask yourself what caused it to spread into the gastro
tract and cause problems? Usually it’s the weakened immune system and
lifestyle full of stress and wrong food. How did you get diagnosed?

Hi Naz, what else are you taking besides Monolaurin, probiotic, mastic
gum, and Interfase? Have you been clearly diagnosed with H Pylori? Non of
these products, including Manuca honey can be causing green stool, unless
you have other issues, but H pylori. Stomach discomfort is normal, I had it
too but in case it gets too discomforting, I would suggest cut all your
supplements in half and continue on a more mild regiment. Once
discomfort eases it might be alright to up it a notch. Use your own
judgement on this. Keep in touch.

Thank you very much for your fast response. I was diagnosed with
pylori via endoscopy. I have mild gastritis but no of ulcers. I take the
1000mg X2 mastic and 1200mg X2 monolaurin (both morning and
night on empty stomach). I also take probiotics that I usually take, the
“raw garden for life for men” 85 billion probiotics (spread out thought
the day with food), I also added 30mins after mastic and monolaurin
the probiotic reuteri 5 billion mixed with a couple of other probiotics X2
on empty stomach with manuka honey as well. I also take the following
supplements, buffered vitamin C 1000mg, 1000mg raw Vitamin D3,
“garding for life” raw multi vitamin, gastrazym, all with food. I initially
thought it could be the gastrazym, but I took only one pill a day for 3
days and decided to not take it the fourth day to see what happens.
I currently thought maybe I should just continue with mastic gum X2
1000mg and I am stopping the gastrazym, and reuteri probiotic. I will
continue with mastic and vitamins as well as the raw probiotics so I
know which of the supplements are causing this. I thought to start
adding 600mg monolaurin, a few days after a few normal stools. But the
issue could be mastic, I’m not sure. I also heard that mastic can cause
malabsorption and shouldn’t be taken for more than 2-3 weeks at a
time. Is that true? In that cause how would I finish this treatment if by
the time I reintroduce the full monolaurin dosage I would have stopped
the mastic. Thanks for reading my lengthy post. I wanted to give as
much info as possible. I think I contracted the bacteria about 20 years
ago, but without any symptoms until about 8 years ago I started having
some on and off constipation which I ignored cause Dr was saying eat
fiber. I was otherwise energetic and healthy but with a stressful life.
Thanks again

gluten, cow dairy, nuts, mushrooms and hard foods in general.
Avoid all raw for now. Add some warming spices like ginger, fennel,
cardamom, etc., specially some fermented things for probiotics and
see how you do. If you feel better then you know you have to be very

Hi Tadas…
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It is SO helpful to me and so
many! I decided to do triple therapy -Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin and PPI
Pantaprozole which is apparently the Gold Standard in meds for HP. I was
shocked at my diagnosis of mild gastritis and h pylori through endoscopy last
week though I knew I wasn’t feeling right for months. I actually feel I may have
had H pylori for a while since my food sensitivities became extreme over the
last 6 months but it wasn’t until i got gastritis that I started to feel awful after
eating. Doctor prescribed antibiotics. I have avoided antibiotics for 40 yrs so I
thought my body could handle it. They are powerful drugs and it’s taking it’s toll
on me with sleep disturbances, mental fog, etc…I’m on the 6th of a 14 day
course and will stick it out. I do feel much better with little pain – eating both
raw and boiled veggies now and half of what i was eating before. At the same
time, I am eating well with no gluten, dairy, soy, corn, meat (only fish and
chicken) and taking, Manuka honey (just a bit each day quells sugar cravings!).
Also eating sauerkraut/yogurt (no other dairy) and a 14 strain/50 billion
probiotic (Dr. Formulated Fitbiotic. organic with prebiotics) that contains 5 of
the strains studies say are best to treat HP…. Lacto-casei, Lacoo-gasseri, Lacoo
acidophilus, Lacto brevis and Bifidobacterium infantis. Maybe I should take VS
one you mentioned?
Is it stronger? I am wondering if the antibiotics will make taking Monolaurin
and Intrafase less effective so not sure about taking those until after 14 day
antibiotics. Main point is that I am doing lots of natural protocol WHILE on
antibiotics and am hoping it is still effective. Trying to make a plan for after the
antibiotic treatment to get my gut back into shape after the antib’s kill all my
good and bad bacteria. ***Doc says retesting won’t happen for 6-8 weeks after
antibiotics so wondering if your protocol would do me well right after this
“triple therapy”. I know this is a hard bacteria to beat so looking forward to
eating so much better from now on. I am hopeful I will beat this and be
healthier from now moving forward. Thanks again for taking the time to
engage.

Hi Christine, I would tough it out with the triple therapy too, now that you

doing a wonderful job supporting yourself through the process. VS is one of

can always do this protocol if things don’t improve with your current

Tadas,
Thank you so much for sharing you experiences with eradicating this
nightmare. I had severe case of c-diff in 2007 after taking antibiotics for
possible colon resection. I was given Flagyl which didnt help and then
Vancomycin which cleared the infection. Since 2007, I have refused to take any
antibiotics. In 2010, I had endoscopy because of acid reflux and diagnosed with
chronic gastritis and H-pylori with intestinal metaplasia(precancerous lesions
of the stomach). At the time, I did not know the metaplasia meant precancerous
lesions. Dr. did not act concerned about the metaplasis as he did not even tell
me what it meant. He wanted me to take the quad therapy antibiotic treatment
for pylori, but I refused. I tried many natural supplements but none of had
worked. Fast forward to 2010, 2017, both scopes showed chronic gastritis with
pylori and intestinal metaplasia at which time he informed me of the
precancerous lesions and said pylori needed eradication with antibiotic
treatment. From researching, I now know that eradication of the pylori will
NOT reverse the metaplasia. It will slow its progress into stomach cancer but
not reverse the condition. I am going to start your regimen for the pylori but is
there any natural protocol for preventing the progression of the metaplasia into
stomach cancer? Are any of the supplements in your protocol contraindicated
for the metaplasia? Any other supplements you think would be of benefit for
both problems? Any way I can heal cell lining of stomach? Of course, I refuse
the antibiotics because of previous c-diff infection, but know I have to find
solution for the pylori changing the cells in my stomach lining into stomach
cancer.
Thank you for your help.

Hello – Thank you so much for taking the time to share your information and
ask questions. I will make a long story short. I have had h pylori probably a
good part of my life and I have had stomach issues since I was a kid mainly
bloating, IBS and the past 2 years ulcer like pain arising every couple of
months. I tried antibiotics but had severe pain after 3 days so doc took me off.
I am now going the natural root and have been collaborating with others who

have been doing the same with success. My plan is to take NAC (2000 mg/day),
Monolaurin (1800 mg)/day, Pylopass, S boulardii, Bio HPFx 6 caps, plant
enzymes, black cumin seed oil. It has been suggested to me to take
Bladderwrack but I’m concerned I may be more hyper than hypo. I want to
ensure I deal with the Biofilm but at the same time I don’t want to cause other
issues. Do you still feel Interfase or Interfase plus is safe and effective? and
would these be a good substitute for Bladderwrack. Thank you, Michelle

Hi Sunil
I also had hpylori and the antibiotics did nothing. So I took Matula tea for a
month and took interfase plus and nac half an hour before the tea. I also
took 3G of colostrum a day and zinc carnosine as that stops the bacteria
from burying itself in the stomach wall. I also took a probiotic vsl#3. This
cleared up my hpylori after 30 days. Good luck

About 30 days and don’t remember any side-effects but I was pretty healthy

another.

Hi Tadas,
Thanks for your wonderful experience. You mentioned that the InterFase Plus
are to be taken twice a day before meals on an empty stomach. 1st time is after
breakfast and before lunch. And the 2nd time is before dinner time. Each time
two capsules. Is that right order?
I have problem of getting InterFase Plus from Amazon because of shipment, so
I got Biofilm Defense from iHerb according to your link. Is it similar to
InterFase Plus? According to the recommendation of the product, it’s one
capsule per day. Is it sufficient? Thanks.

blablabla…… they gave me meds that made me sicker in other ways.Then one
day I read “the Clever Gut” I started using natural products and noting how
they made me feel. I even wrote down how I felt after eating certain foods.I
learned that artificial sweeteners and Splenda can ruin your gut and drinking
tap water can also do the same. Everyone is different but I found several things
that I alternate in use that seem to help Berberine,Matcha Tea, Fulvic Acid,
Irish Sea Moss,Oolong and Hisbiscus tea, and Usnea along with resistant
starch, green bananas and probiotics .Slowly over a few weeks really gave me
some relief. I learned how to add pepper, Licorice , Ginger and Vitamin c tofood
and supplements to boost the effectiveness.All natural foods abdominal
cramping and aches are disappearing.

Hi Tad, glad you found some relief. From what I hear you’re not healed yet.
Everything in this protocol is natural and it works for H Pylori. Sounds like
you’re dealing with much more. What you use are effective because most of
your supplements are anti-fungal which seems you could be dealing with
candida.

That’s great Tad. Like you, I tried everything under the sun and then I
decided to experiment. Eventually I hit on my cure. Beetroot soup. I make a
fresh batch every week. I use mainly beetroot with a few carrots, ginger,
garlic and some roasted tomatoes to add sweetness. Within 2 months my
symptoms had almost disappeared. I have been eating beetroot soup, for
lunch, ever since. Apparently, root vegetables cleanse the liver & gall
bladder. I try not to eat any processed sugar. Fruit sugar & honey are fine. I
have almost cut out wheat & bread from diet. In terms of meat, I only eat
sea food & fish, but sparingly.

Hi Susan, have you figured out the cause behind the ulcer? Nexxium is
more like a patch so try to address it mostly with a diet. If it H-Pylori then
mastic gum alone won’t be enough, you’ll have to try the protocol. I took
mastic gum on empty stomach, at least half hour before food.

Good day.
I have also have the H Pylori bacteria and i really suffer from burning pains
especially at night. The first course of antibiotics made me so sick i was
admitted in hospital and they gave me a pantoprazole instead omaprazole? Now
the prescribed new antibiotics and im too afraid to drink it. My other doctor
told me i must drink mastic gum and eat raw honey. So i feel like i want to try
the natural stuff rather than taking antibiotics again. Is the natural stuff a 100%

There are never guarantees but this protocol helped countless people

Hi Tadas,
Firstly thank you for a comprehensive article. Thanks to all others who have
commented too. It’s helpful
I did Quadruple Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Infection and on 4th day I felt
awful. I started to develop Tinnitus on 3rd day of anti-biotics.
Did not continue the treatment. Did a breath test and it obviosily came back
+ve (Note: Before Quadruple Therapy blood test showed -ve)
Manuka honey does wonders for h Pylori but not sure it eradicates it. But with
other things in your protocol it may work!
I am about to start the protocol but with little variation. since I cannot get same
products here in Canada.
Manuka Honey -> Kiva Certified UMF 20+ (MGO 850+), Raw Manuka Honey
– New Zealand (250 gr)
probiotic -> biokplus https://www.biokplus.com/blog/en_CA/gut-
