3 AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH FOR THE RISING CHALLENGE OF HYPERTENSIVE ILLNESS VIA H. PYLORI ERADICATION.

4 THE WORLD WAR

5 THE WORLD WAR AGAINST THE STOMACH BUG BY ANTIBIOTIC WEAPONS

6 Helicobacter pylori

7

8 HELICOBACTER PYLORI The Commonest Cause Of Fire Inside The Stomach Guilty, Not Guilty, or Innocent!!

9 Helicobacter pylori infection remains a challenging worldwide medical problem due to ts extreme widespread prevalence and its close relation to acid peptic disease, gastric carcinoma and lymphoma. These reasons made the medical world elieve that H. pylori eradication should be a necessary attempt.

10 flare up of a lot of medical problems ated to H. pylori through immune or different unknown reasons indicates that ent eradication therapies are inadequate control all the problems related to the stomach bug.

11 In addition, the high costs, bacterial resistance and the severe side effects are major drawbacks of these treatments; M ffi i t i d f i dl d More efficient, economic and friendly drugs need to be developed.

12 H. pylori colonized the stomach since an immemorial time; As if both the stomach and the bug used to live together in peace harmless to each other. What does it mean!!

13 The challenge in the matter of H. pylori lies mainly in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant H. pylori strains. This matter can not be except due to The abuse of antibiotics Or Inefficiency of the current H. pylori eradication strategies.

14 The Unbeatable Challenge Is A Highly Talented Natural Ability Of The Organism To Survive. What could this also mean!!

15 After more than 20 years of extensive research; (Unfair blind) The harm is worse & The matter is still dilemma A scientific stop is becoming mandatory, To achieve an evaluation of some misconceptions about H. pylori itself.

16 H. pylori Is it Biologic or Pathologic Protective or Destructive Defensive or Offensive Useful or Harmful

17 H. pylori Is it Natural Existence Or Abnormal Existence

18 H. Pylori Eradication Is it Necessary and Possible or Unnecessary because Impossible

19 H. Pylori Antibiotic Eradication Is it Efficient or Inefficient i

20 The Resistant H. pylori Strains Are they Resistant t because Drastic or Emigrant therefore Resistant

21 Are they Really Aggressive, or Just Panic

22 H. pylori Is it Guilty, Not Guilty or Innocent

23 The answers of these questionnaires are scattered here and there and far over there.

24 H. pylori have colonized the stomach since an immemorial time; Falush et al, H. pylori in human populations is common and persistent; Guruge et al, H. Pylori prevalence is high, complications in stomach were minor; Cataldo et al, Re-infection with H. pylori is un-avoidable; McPhee et al, H. Pylori is not just a bad bug in all instances; Farinha et al, Should we kill or Should we save H. pylori; Hunt et al, 2001.

25 If the knowledge of these answers are coalesced together, the picture is then complete.

26 H. pylori was re-discovered d nearly before two decades. The fight against H. pylori by antibiotics has been over the past two decades. The flare up of medical dilemmas related to H. pylori has been during the last two decades.

27 The complications related to H. pylori before being attacked by antibiotics were limited to the stomach& in minor incidence. WHILE The complications of H. pylori after the antibiotic attack flared up& exceeded the limits of the stomach.

28 COULD IT BE TRUE; THE WORLD WAR AGAINST THE STOMACH BUG BY ANTIBIOTIC WEAPONS WAS A WORLD MISTAKE!!

29 APPARENTLY H. PYLORI IS A NATURAL BACTERIUM & It is obliged for a natural function in the stomach.

30 IF H. pylori has a function; it should be natural. If H. pylori is natural; it should have a function. Does H. pylori have a real biological function!! YES, IT DOES HAVE. ( at least 5 Fs.)

31 1 H. pylori protects the gastric wall from its acid if it goes in excess. As it holds a profuse buffer mechanism; the ammonia. Through keeping its immediate vicinity safe from acidity, it buffers any tiny acidity before it touches the gastric wall.

32 The physiological residual ammonia produced by H. pylori after buffering the gastric acid are not toxic, but useful; as it helps to maintain the integrity of intestinal motility and the integral colonic function.

33 The antibiotic aggression against H. pylori, whatever aggressive can never defeat it, except forcing it to migrate in panic to an abnormal shelter.

34 H. pylori migrates to the colon in panic. With production of profuse amounts of ammonia un-opposed or buffered by any acidity destroying the integrity of the colonic function by causing multiple colonic and a high rectal spasm. Excess ammonia in the colon is known to be TOXIC TO THE BODY. Ammonia is colon-spastic.

35 OWING TO THE EXCESS AMMONIA IN THE COLON, The integral colonic function is extensively compromised, The abdomen, the stomach or the colon is a source of illness; that is a traditional philosophy. Loss of the integral colonic function; that is a critical risk.

36 H. PYLORI IS THEREFORE RENDERING THE COLON ONE OF THE HIDDEN REASONS BEHIND MAJOR ILLNESS IN MANY PEOPLE. Through An Error of Increased Colonic Re-absorption of Fluids, Salts& Toxins.

37 ACCORDINGLY The error in colonic reabsorption could lead to the world phenomena; HTN, a disease of rich, is flaring up among poor population.

38 The original i pathology in this situation ti is untouched but even worsened by the eradication therapies; This explains the prevalent observation that most of the hypertensive patients in the world are inadequately controlled in spite of regular follow up of medications.

39 HOPEFULLY THE ANTIBIOTIC VIOLENCE HAS NOT RENDERED A DOMESTIC BUG TO BECOME WILD IN ATTITUDE INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF IT.

40 H. Pylori Is A Natural Bacterium As proved by Eit Existence since an immemorial iltime. Highly protective biological functions. Huge natural defense talents. Recurrence is unavoidable.

41 H. Pylori Is Not Eradicated Except From The Stomach And Is Forced to Migrate As proved by Unusual Existence in dental plaques, rectum, tonsils and adenoids. Unusual symptoms and sequels caused by this unusual existence.

42 PATIENTS RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS

43 The scientific interest of this study was focused on two groups of clinical conditions associated with H. pylori. Chronic or recurrent spastic colitis. Uncontrolled HTN under medication.

44 The multiple colonic spasm sequence manifested by marked constipation with passage of small pieces of dried stool was a constant t feature of H. pylori-related l t d dyspepsia in those patients; Confirming the error in the colonic function. The rectal spasm was detected by proctoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, while the multiple colonic spasms were demonstrated by colonoscopy.

45 The concept of the colonic error in this study is not just hypothetical AS Upon the basis of this concept the H. pylori- associated dyspepsia has been relieved & the integral colonic function has been rectified in hundreds d of patients. t

46 Many hypertensive patients(33), t were able to quit their antihypertensive pills and maintain normal lblood pressure values. Although They were inadequately controlled in spite of regular follow up of medications and strict carefulness about their style of life. BY

47 BY Mere natural eradication of H. pylori, colon care and colon clear.

48 This study has employed natural methods to behave bad H. pylori strains and H. pylori-related related dyspepsia. One or two of bio-organic acids encountered as end products in the chain of glycolysis Acetic, formic or lactic acids were used. Their effect is immediate and dramatic against H. pylori. As the main routes of energy production of H. pylori are via pyruvate; and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is controlled by the rules of product inhibition and feed back regulation. Therefore; accumulation of any of these organic acids will interfere with the energy metabolism and the respiratory chain metabolism of H. pylori leading to immediate paralysis of the bug with immediate dramatic symptomatic relief.

49 The immediate effect of these natural biochemical acids on H. pylori gives no chance for the organism to resist the treatment, mutate and develop resistant strains or even migrate to unusual locations. The wonderful Senna leaves were used for the colon care and colon clear to get rid of the emigrant H. pylori strains as they could remain emigrant for life unless eradicated.

50 RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Now, should we fight and kill or save H. pylori!! We should save H. pylori.

52 This study RECOMMENDS PEACE Peace should be started with the stomach bug.

53 CEASE ALL THE FIRE against it except natural measures.

54 Allow all suitable climate for its stay and function in the stomach by avoiding bad food habits and antibiotics unless strictly indicated. Thanks for antibiotics, but not against H. pylori. All regards to antibiotics in many fields and indications, but against H. pylori, NO thank you very much.

55 No medicine that attacks or annoys the stomach bug should be employed. Proton pump inhibitors entailing anti-urease activity that destroys the main talent for H. pylori survival in the stomach Should be subjected to severe discussion& accurate determination.

56 Direct the funds of researching after H. pylori for Patients& Family Education as concerns food habits and antibiotic use Orientation Programs In PHC Units g as concerns natural measures towards H. pylori-related dyspepsia

57 THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH &
