It's Really Quite Simple
H. pylori is an acid-loving bacteria. It thrives on the acid in your stomach. Therefore logic dictates that if you dilute your stomach acid, the bacteria will not be able to survive. I never heard of H pylori before getting it a few years ago soon after eating a piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken in one of their not-the-cleanest-in-the-world establishments. It got progressively worse for 3 weeks until finally I could not stand up.
After being educated by my doctor about what it was, I cured a very bad case in three days simply by drinking water... lots of water. I started by drinking two 12 oz. glasses every hour for three or four hours and then went to one glass every hour for the rest of the day. As the pain subsided I lengthened the time between drinks to two hours, then three, etc. until I reached three times a day.
I am 5'4" and weigh 135 pounds. If your stomach is larger you may need to drink more water. If your stomach is smaller, you may need less. You need as much as it takes to dilute your stomach acid and change the pH in your stomach. I also did not eat any meat or foods that need a lot of acid to digest -- since I obviously did not have enough stomach acid to digest them. I fasted the first day, ate only chicken noodle soup the next day and stuck with alkaline foods for the last day... no acidic foods such as citrus or tomato sauce that would have put the acid back in my stomach.
Of course it goes without saying that you should never drink that much water within an hour of eating. That means you drink the water, wait an hour, eat, wait another hour, and drink more water. Otherwise the water will dilute your stomach acid and you won't have enough acid to digest your food. That can cause a whole other set of problems.
If I had to do it again, I would have put Mega H in my water to make it more alkaline. I think the cure would have worked faster. I also would have put some bladderwrack in the water once or twice on the first day to act like a soap. As it was, it took about three days to completely rid myself of the problem. Between Saturday morning, when I saw my doctor who advised a blood test to verify the H pylori, and the following Wednesday, when his nurse called to confirm and tell me I needed three weeks of antibiotics, I was not only completely cured but I had stopped drinking water and been eating anything I wanted for at least 36 hours.
They could not believe it. So I took another blood test on Thursday to confirm and also to educate them on the benefit of logically thinking through a problem -- and proving that drugs are not always the answer.

Letters from Readers
My doctor told me I have h.pylori and already planned the 14-day, two different antibiotics program. I'm not the kind that follows the doctor's order without research so I went online to find info on this bacteria I never heard of before. While I was getting educated, I came across your site and the page about curing the bacteria without antibiotics. I read it, thought about it, and decided that I wanted to give it a chance before taking the doctor's prescription. I started Saturday and finished Monday.
Instead of drinking two 15oz of water I drank one every hour 'cause I'm 118lbs and the doctor said I have a mild case. I don't want to make it a long story; I just wanted to thank u for posting the info and the natural cure 'cause it worked for me. All the discomfort and symptoms are gone. I feel 100% different, better and normal. Especially during and after a meal.
Thank you, thank you, thank u --- D.l from NY

I cannot believe it! I do not know if I had H Pylori, but after years of MISERY, my problems are GONE -- just from doing what you suggested.
I have had more than 25 years of dreadful indigestion/GERD/acid reflux -- call it what you will. I have had an endoscopy, been given Antacids, Proton Pump inhibitors and a variety of concoctions -- all without success.
On top of the absolute misery of what feels like battery acid backing up into my throat and as far as my nose sometimes, over this last 18 months I have been very bloated and people kept remarking how much weight I had put on. Then of course I have IBS which on occasion is debilitating. The meds did ease it somewhat but did not cure it.
So when I read what you said, I thought -- lots of water for a few days, what have I got to loose -- so I tried it and -- HAPPY DAYS. Drinking lots of water is tedious, but that is all. After day 1 my acid problems stopped and apart from one or two very mild instances, have not come back in 12 days -- a miracle!
If I drank alcohol, ate chocolate, drank coffee or brown bread -- amongst other things -- I would pay a heavy price. But I have had all of them without trouble -- which is WONDERFUL. My bloating has decreased and my IBS is still there but nothing like so bad.
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. You have changed my life and what is also wonderful is that you did not do it for pay or reward like so many others do who have found a cure. I just hope that millions of others follow your method. After all, it is FREE and can do NO HARM to try it, can it?
Well done and again, thank you so much. I have my life back!
Kindest regards, --- Brian Kinsey
