MGM Supplement: Ulcer Remedies

Here are some suggestions for healing the possible ulcer.
Anti-ulcer Fruit Cocktail

Bananas
Pineapple
Blueberries
Ground cinnamon
Ground cloves
Ground ginger
Honey (optional)


Bananas are an old folk remedy for many gastrointestinal problems because they soothe the digestive tract.

Pineapple- Like cabbage, pineapple is fairly well endowed with glutamine, a compound with experimentally verified anti-ulcer effects. Pineapple also
contains bromelain, a general digestive aid.

Cut up the bananas and pineapple. Place them in a serving bowl and add the blueberries. Season to taste with the cinnamon, cloves and ginger and sweeten with the honey.

Bilberry and blueberry. Both of these fruits contain compounds known as anthocyanosides. In studies with experimental animals, these compounds have been shown to offer significant protection against ulcers. They help stimulate the production of mucus that protects the stomach lining from digestive acids.

Anti-ulcer drink: blend blueberry juice, pineapple juice, and a banana and the spices listed above. Garnish with a peppermint sprig.

Use candied ginger as an herbal alternative), instead of ranitidine (Zantac) and famotidine (Pepcid)

Ginger is well-known for its anti-inflammatory activity. Ginger contains 11 compounds that have demonstrated anti-ulcer effects.

Eating honey-candied ginger is a pleasant-tasting treatment for ulcers, according to Paul Schulick, New England herbalist and author of Ginger: Common Spice and Wonder Drug. The combination of honey and ginger is particularly effective, he notes. In addition to the antibacterial compounds that are available from ginger, honey has antibacterial action, and the two together seem to produce synergistic effects.

Whole Foods has some good tasting candied ginger.

Other ulcer foods are alfalfa, Camomile tea, green tea, & garlic.

Raw cabbage juice is a hallowed folk remedy for ulcers. It turns out that cabbage and its juice contain considerable amounts of two compounds with anti-ulcer activity, glutamine and S-methyl-methionine.

Melvyn Werbach, M.D., assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine and author of the excellent Nutritional Influences on Illness, cites a study of people with ulcers who were given raw cabbage juice as a treatment. Ninety-two percent showed significant improvement within three weeks compared with 32 percent of those taking a look alike treatment (a placebo) without cabbage juice.

The folk recommendation for treating ulcers is to drink one quart of raw cabbage juice a day.

Garlic is a potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic. Paul Bergner, editor of Medical Herbalism, suggests that those who are wary of pharmaceutical antibiotics for ulcer treatment might want to try a course of garlic therapy.
