This is an old but relevant story, about how "experts" and "settled science" were in reality a front mixing arrogance and medicinal cash flow while innocent people died.

My doctor said of Barry Marshall, “You can hear them clank together when he walks down the hall.”

and the cause of the overrun of h. pylori is LOW STOMACH ACID. When the acid is low, which is in most of us; in fact there really is no such thing as HIGH stomach acid, bad bacteria can flourish. When this happens, the bad bacteria causes bloat which opens the sphincter at the top of the stomach, allowing acid to come into the esophagus making people believe they have high stomach acid.

Big pharma is as wicked as it gets as the biggest selling drug annually is antacids.

It is a good idea, if you do not have an ulcer (yet) to supplement with HCl to replace stomach acid. This will help break down your food and RE nourish you (because your nutrients can then breakdown and absorb)

I remember that incident.

The medical community is stuck in concrete.

They do NOT want to hear anything that goes against the narrative.

They did it as far back as Semmelweis when all he asked them to do was wash their hands.

And nothing has changed in hundreds of years.

Back in the 80s and 90s I listened to doctor Gabe Mirkin on the radio. He spoke often about the fact that stomach ulcers were caused by a bacteria, Helicobacter, and that the cure was antibiotics, sometimes taken for a long time. He was like a voice crying in the wilderness and treated many patients who came to him as a last resort.

He said that he read a huge number of medical Journals every day.

FYI

One stereotype of homeschoolers was that we are a bunch of right wing business-lovers.

I saw more homeopathic, natural food, borderline hippie/back-to-earth sentiments in homeschoolers than otherwise. Supporting capitalism doesn't mean supporting corporatism.

I devote most of a chapter to this story and use it relentlesly to denigrate the ‘status quo’ (aka ‘the science is settled’).

Great story, but few can wrap their head around it and its ramifications.

Even fewer know the outcome almost 20 years later.

Worse, I literally met a 20-something kid when I was doing my insurance insanity segue. He said he’d just come from the hospital. He looked ashen and was doubled over in pain. He told me his symptoms: Absent something more serious, it had all the hallmarks of a bad ulcer. Know what the ER gave him?

Prilosec. smh

I’ve often wondered how much problem solving a physician is able to do - how much are they constrained by their malpractice and other insurance companies to follow the physicians desk reference like an automaton rather than actually thinking like a scientist (non woke version) or engineer.

Nothing surprising here...the game plan used against this doctor is EXACTLY what they use today against people who question ‘the science’ regarding Type 2 Diabetes.

I am currently suffering with an ulcer, Anemia has caused low blood pressure and I have little to no appetite. The toilet has become my second home and I am about to lose my mind.

Omoprozole is what the doctor gave me and it not doing anything
