7. Supplements

There are a few supplements that have shown to be effective in fighting H. pylori, including:

Korean Red Ginseng – Studies involving animals show that this type of ginseng is very effective against H. pylori. Korean red ginseng is very different from other types of ginseng and can have serious side effects such as increased heart rate, higher or lower blood pressure readings, and lower blood sugar levels. Consult a professional before consuming this herb.
DGL — More commonly known as deglycyrrhizinated licorice, this can be taken in a chewable tablet and has been shown to be effective against these dangerous bacteria.
Baikal Skullcap – This herb works as a natural antibiotic. Baikal skullcap (scutelleria baicalensis)can greatly diminish blood clotting, so if you are already taking blood thinners or if you are about to have surgery, you should talk to your doctor before consuming this supplement.

8. Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is unlike any other type of honey on the planet. It has the strongest levels of anti-bacterial and antimicrobial compounds of any honey and can inhibit the growth of H. pylori. The University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand, published a study in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine that found Manuka honey completely stopped the growth of H. pylori.

9. Extra Virgin Siberian Pine Nut Oil

This cold-pressed oil comes from the pine nuts of very specific opine tree that, despite its name, is found around the world. This is a gourmet cooking oil, but it has a lengthy history of medicinal use. An old Siberian folk remedy for stomach ulcers and reflux was to drink two teaspoons of this oil each day, about 30 minutes before a meal over a three to four week period. Although there do not appear to be any studies done involving H. pylori and this oil, numerous personal accounts vouch for it. This is actually very healthy oil, so you have nothing to lose.
