According to a recently released National Cancer Institute report the Helicobacter Pylori bacterium is responsible for a high percentage of stomach ulcers. World renowned immunologist Professor Patrick JD Bouic Ph. D says a Matula herbal extract displays potent activity against Helicobacter Pylori bacteria.

Worldwide nearly 80% of duodenal and 60% of gastric ulcers are associated with Helicobacter Pylori. Most patients who have been colonised by this bacteria won’t develop ulcers but will develop gastritis. The reason only some patients develop ulcers is unknown but a combination of different factors including environmental factors and susceptibility of hosts are likely to be major factors.
With traditional medicine there is no front line medical treatment that is 100% effective but a PPI based triple therapy is the current recommended regimen for this condition with a combination of Esomeprazole, Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin. This treatment has a success rate of 70% to 85%.
Many patients effected by stomach ulcers are hesitant to take antibiotics on a long enough course to kill the Helicobacter Pylori bacteria because those antibiotics also kill off positive intestinal flora so important for digestive health. This can result in compliance issues that render the treatment ineffective. The side effects that up to 20% of patients can experience from the standard medical treatment can include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, rashes and altered taste sensation.
Options that are perceived to be less detrimental to intestinal flora are especially attractive to these people even if in many cases that belief may be misguided. Reports on the efficacy of herbal remedies like Matula is mixed and currently there is no compelling scientific evidence to support the treatment. While many report positive results, some patients report no results at all and others report diuretic-like, nausea and other side effects.
In vitro tests by immunologist Professor Patrick JD Bouic published in the Journal Of The American Medical Association and The Lancet found that Matula extract killed all strains of Helicobacter Pylori tested. So far no clinical human trials have been carried out so at this point the research must be considered promising but by no means conclusive.
