The biggest triumph this year is eradicating antibiotic-resisting H-Pylori in my stomach. Since H. Pylori is a primary carcinogen for stomach cancer and since I already have precancerous conditions in my stomach, I was devastating when I learned that I had antibiotic-resistant H. Pylori in my stomach. The infectious disease doctor wanted me to try 21-day another antibiotic regiment; yet he gave me no guarantee that the new treatment will eradicate the bug. Besides, if the 21-day treatment failed again, this H. Pylori would become non-treatable, or a super-bug.
I refused. Instead I tried to use diet, pro-biotic, and herbal medicine (Mastic gum and Matula tea) to see if they are effective. According to my research, these approaches were very successful in the reported case.
In June, when I had endoscope and culture studies with both 1 day and 1 week culture work at Mayo Clinic found nothing on this bug, I was elated.
This was the biggest triumph of the year.
