When you think of cranberry juice , you might think of it as a prevention for a urinary tract infection. Some might think of it with vodka also known as a Capecod. A recent report published indicated it for Helicobacter pylori infection.
A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial" was conducted by key scientists at the Department of Cancer Epidemiology, Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute in Beijing, China, a leading cancer research center. The study included 522 H. pylori-positive Chinese adults between the ages of 18-60 that have never previously received antibiotic therapy for H. pylori infection.
A new clinical trial found consuming cranberry juice containing 44 mg of proanthocyanidins (or "PACs") per 240-mL serving twice daily for eight weeks resulted in a 20% reduction in the H. pylori infection rate in Chinese adult participants, when compared to those consuming lower amounts of juice and a placebo.
The study findings reveal that cranberry juice may be a useful aid in H. pylori management in adults in a high-risk region of China with an endemic infection rate of over 50% In the United States conventional physicians prescribe antibiotics and an H2 blocker as Pepcid etc.
I will try the cranberry juice in addition to Mastica ( or mastic gum) and berberine. I have had success with these two herbs.
