Jeez - I've just read a bit more about Manuka honey & it combines 2 of my all time favourite remedies. The plant it's taken from is a form of tea tree & often it has a high percentage of Propalis.
You can buy it in supermarkets here - at a premium price, BUT could be well worth it.
Anyone got stomach ulcers? Read this!!!Losing sleep over stomach ulcers?
Don't let H. Pylori bug you anymore. Fight the bacteria right now with Active Manuka Honey, and feel the difference within weeks!
If you thought that simply cutting back on your favorite spicy food would do the trick, well, here's something to chew on! Treating the symptoms may provide short-lived relief; but, the most effective way to deal with stomach ulcers is to address the ‘root cause'. This is exactly what Active Manuka honey does.
Most stomach ulcers are neither caused by stress nor dietary or "lifestyle' issues. It's a different can of worms altogether! It's the H bug, commonly know as H. Pylori or helicobacter pylori. This bacterium was recently established as the main cause for more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and 80% of gastric ulcers, by two Australian researchers, who won the Nobel Prize for their discovery, in October 2005
Active Manuka Honey: It really works!!
Active Manuka Honey from New Zealand
Obtained from the native New Zealand Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium, a type of tea tree), Active Manuka honey possesses an extraordinary antibacterial quality that is particularly effective in killing H. Pylori without interfering with the beneficial bacteria present in your body
Dosage: Even a teaspoon of Active Manuka Honey a day, can keep the doctor away!
The unique properties of UMF manuka honey allow you to self-medicate, adjusting the dosage to suit your specific condition. The key to dosage is to take as much honey as required to ease the discomfort or burning sensation. For most people, this will be as little as 1 teaspoon at a time. Take the honey when the burning sensation arises or aim for regular doses up to 30 minutes before meals. Important: Do not heat the honey in any way, as this will destroy the natural antibacterial properties.
How long should this H Pylori treatment take?
The pain and discomfort associated with your ulcer should decrease during the first few days of your Active Manuka honey course. However, complete eradication of all the bacteria can take 2-4 months. A little patience can save you a lot of frustration. Unlike the triple therapy course of antibiotic treatment which is much quicker, an Active Manuka honey course has no nasty side effects, and is absolutely natural.
Manuka Honey for stomach ulcers
As I've got Acid Reflux this will be on my shopping list next visit to the supermarket/health shop. Tea Tree can't be ingested so this is the only way I know of to gain the natural antibacterial benefit of Tea Tree internally.
I'm so glad I looked up Manchester Honey - as otherwise it could have taken me a few more years to find this. I don't believe too much in co-incidence but do believe that sometimes things are really meant to happen & what goes around, comes around.
