ALFRED: Mastic gum CURED duodenal ulcers in 2 weeks.

Poor Alfred.  He says that Mastic Gum cures duodenal ulcers in two weeks.  O, look, he even leaves a link to the article published in NEJM, or does he?  Does Alfred tell us which brand or dose or type of mastic gum worked?  O, come on, he can't be bothered.  He can't be bothered when he's looking for clicks as an internet influencer.  Here is the article, "Mastic Gum Kills Heliccobater pylori," Farhad U. Huwez, et al., New England Journal of Medicine, December 24, 1998.

Just that the mastic gum cures it.  You're on your own searching the down the study and results and then compare those to Alfred's claim.  He says to "Stop cutting food groups." So sugars are good, yeah, Alfred? Carbohydrates, I'll betch are real good for you, your stomach, and H. pylori, right, Alfred?

Well, I asked, and answers did I receive.

Greco Gum [at Amazon] and Mystic Gum are highly recommended brands for mastic gum, known for their quality and sourcing from the Chios Mastiha Growers’ Association. These brands ensure that their products are made from authentic Chios mastic resin, providing both oral health benefits and a natural chewing experience.

I have never tried mastic gum, so I've not tried either of these brands, Greco or Mystic. Just be careful of these "sugar-free" sugars made from alcohol. Avoid all sugars. The Greco brand doesn't seem to have any sugars.

You think your bloating is food. You’re wrong.

It starts when H. pylori erodes your stomach lining. By the time your jeans don’t fit, the bacteria own your gut.

Every meal you eat is already:

You think your bloating is food. You’re wrong. It starts when H. pylori erodes your stomach lining. By the time your jeans don’t fit, the bacteria own your gut. Every meal you eat is already: → Feeding bacteria in the wrong intestine → Fermenting into trapped gas → Thinning your stomach lining You didn’t eat something bad. You’ve been infected for years. They gave 148 patients 350mg mastic gum three times a day. Symptom scores dropped significantly in 3 weeks. Bloating gone. Pain gone. Function back. The placebo group? Distended. Gassy. Permanent. 1 in 2 people globally carry H. pylori. 60% show no symptoms until the damage is done. Chronic fatigue. Reflux. Low stomach acid. Anxiety from nowhere. If any of this sounds familiar — it’s already living inside you. This isn’t a food problem. It’s a bacteria problem we’ve been treating with diets. Stop cutting food groups. Kill the bacteria.
