Triple
Therapy - "sounds fine....
.... it's only a couple of pills...??"
Sadly this is not true! The reality hits
home when you pick up your prescription, and then your pharmacist
begins explaining how and when to take the assortment of drugs
they just put together for you - 20 pills a day if you are
lucky!
Have a look at the table below. And
then you may begin to appreciate why drug treatments
fail so badly. Firstly it's the difficulty of sticking
to the program, and secondly there is a bundle of nasty negative
side
effects that cause
most patients to give up before they can finish the
course.
We all have busy lives, and we know how difficult
it is to stick to these rigid treatment regimes.
Some tablets have to be taken 3 times a day, others 4 times
a day, some must be taken with meals...it's just too much
for the average person to remember.
And even if we can remember to take our pills on time, we
still have to be able to tolerate the side effects.
The best way to render a course of antibiotics ineffective
is to stop the treatment before the full course of medication
is finished. Side effects alone are the biggest cause
patients having to abandon their medication before they are
able to complete the full course.

Ever wondered what
your true chances of success are?
This is a well hidden fact that most
doctors know about, but won't discuss with you.
Remember that Triple and Quadruple therapies are the most
commonly prescribed treatments as shown above. Drug
therapies do work, BUT only if;
- you can tolerate the side effects
- you stick to the difficult treatment regimen
- you complete the course
Overall, these 3 factors cause an estimated failure rate
of up to 70%.

So
what are the best ulcer treatments?
If you have already been on a Triple Therapy and it failed,
then you may believe that your Doctor has given you the
best already?
Well, that's partly true because a Triple or Quadruple
therapy is the best (and ONLY) treatment that most Doctors
are aware of.
Sadly in mainstream medicine there are other avenues that
just never get explored, like natural medicine....and this
is where you need to get the information that your
Doctor won't have.
The good news is that after years of research, a
tried and tested natural solution has emerged,
and this one really stands out from the rest! This is a
complete breakthrough in ulcer treatments, especially in
cases where the ulcers are caused by an infection of H.
pylori bacteria.
How much has your ulcer already
cost you?
You may have already spent several
hundred dollars trying to get rid of your
stomach ulcer, and chances are you have probably already
suffered from a range of nasty side effects from your
medication. Lots of prescriptions later, no improvement,
and your doctor has run out of options.... does
this sound familiar?
If this describes where you are at right
now (or the direction in which you are heading towards),
then you may be thinking that you are stuck with a major
problem....but the fact is that it is possible to naturally
remove all traces of H. pylori from your digestive system,
without any negative effects.
