What are Stomach and
Duodenal Ulcers?
|
Ulcers are legions of the GI tract
resulting from extreme acidity caused by either a bacterial
infection or some yet unknown factors. Ulcers are often
associated with psychological disturbances, such as irritability
and sleeplessness. These psychological symptoms are sometimes
mistaken by some doctors as causing ulcers. Ulcers cause
irritability and not irritability causes ulcers.
If ulcers go untreated for years, they can lead to high blood pressure
and other complications including cancer. It is important that
ulcers are treated quickly before they develop into a more
dangerous illness. |

Traditional Stomach
and Duodenal Ulcers treatment
|
In recent years it was discovered
that a stomach bacteria causes ulcers. Sometimes ulcers are
treated with antibiotics with success. Sometimes they are not.
They are often treated with antidepressants and sedatives with
no tangible results.
Available Ulcers treatments can be classified as medicine of the first
and second degree among the seven levels of medicine. The
current ulcers medications are expensive, often not offering a
cure and have harmful side effects. |

Ulcers and eastern
medicine
|
Ulcers is an extremely YIN
illness. Ulcers are accumulations and concentration of acid in
the vulnerable areas of the GI tract. The source of this acid
varies. Most often it is caused by a bacterial infection and
toxic build up in these areas. All infections including ulcers
are yin illnesses because they tend to spread. Ulcers are
aggravated by extreme YIN foods such as sugar, chocolate and
even fruit.
You can read more about the relation between Ulcers and YIN and YANG in
the seven laws of the universe. |

Stomach and Duodenal
Ulcers natural alternative treatment and cure
|
Food is best medicine especially
for GI tract illnesses such as ulcers. It is important to
cleanse the GI tract of any infections and restore it to its
normal function and balance. Ulcer patients must be given YIN
foods to discharge accumulated acidity causing ulcers, in
addition to yang foods to eliminate any infection. Given the
proper yang foods, bleeding wounds in the stomach and duodenum
would close in just a few days.
There is no chemical drug on earth that can close an open wound or
cleanse concentrated acidity, but the proper foods can. The
proper foods will also rebuild the body's immune levels and
allow it to eliminate any microbial factor that triggered the
illness in the first place. With the proper foods, ulcers
patients recover quickly and remarkable and thus avoid any
complications in the future. |

Ulcers and
macrobiotics
|
Most people have come to believe
that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a
misconception. To cure Ulcers you do not have to eat Japanese
foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural
balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what
eating and other habits have led you to develop Ulcers. Then,
macrobiotic principles will help you determine what foods you
will have to eat in order to cure ulcers.
Read If macrobiotics means eating
locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods?
If you are an ulcers patient and tried macrobiotics, particularly the #7
diet, but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have
selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read:
The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people.

Ulcers and the food
pyramid
|
It is true that food is best
medicine for ulcers. But some foods cure ulcers and some make
the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a general
guideline and does not provide any specific information in the
natural treatment and cure of ulcers.
|
|
Ulcers and vitamin and
mineral supplements
|
Food is best medicine. With a
carefully designed diet plan for ulcers there is no need for
vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral
supplements can have severe adverse side effects on an ulcers
patient especially vitamin C and iron supplements. We strongly
recommend against taking any supplements until the ulcers
patient is completely cured. However, if supplements are
desired, only natural food-based supplements should be selected
and taken in moderate amounts. And beware of alleged miracle
cures in far away lands.
