Pepto-Bismol is a simple and inexpensive home-remedy that is effective against stomach/intestinal bacterium of this type.

I wonder what the number one killer cancer is in Japan....
I wonder what the rate of stomach cancer is in the USA?

I wonder what's for dinner?

[dervish]

thanks for the ping.

How does Pepto Bismol kill bacteria?

[FairOpinion]

PING

[FairOpinion]

Thanks for the ping.

Very interesting.

I think they are finding out more and more, that cancers are caused by bacteria or viruses.

[FairOpinion]

"prescribed treatment to eliminate the bacteria"

So what was the treatment? What antibiotc kills it?

[Coleus]

Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma detected by clonotypic polymerase chain reaction despite continuous pathologic remission induced by involved-field radiotherapy.

The linkage with MALT lymphoma has been recognized for years. The article refers only to stomach cancer, but there other kinds, e.g. primary gastric adenocarcinoma and metastatic lesions that spread to the stomach. I looked at Gastroenterology, but I was unable to find anything under Mizuno or Motoo that's recent, i.e. whatever the author's last name is, as orientals place the surname first most of the time. Maybe Gastroenterology hasn't updated its site for June.

The main reason I'm pinging the list is that if anyone is taking triple antibiotic therapy for ulcers, please tough it out and take the meds as ordered, but don't be surprised if a yeast infection develops.

Basis for the management of drug-resistant Helicobacter pylori infection.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.

Really? That's a new one on me.

[patton]

All cancer is caused by bacteria or viruses, as far as I am concerned. Just waiting for the doctors to figure it out.

[Ditter]

Shushi?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

That hurts just looking at the pic....

My doctor told me whenever you travel you should have a bottle of Pepto Bizmol in your travel bag. The one time that I got e-coli in France I didn't have it with me.

It's actually true and not just beer induced silliness. The components of peppers are really hard on Helicobacter pylori.
