If your library has this pathology textbook, there is a nice section on H. Pylori in the gastrointestinal section.  It's made not too hard of a read, but you might need a dictionary handy. [[User:Tom Kelly|Tom Kelly]] 22:31, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

I heard that there is a theory that h. pylori may be beneficial.
*possibly prevents reflux (i think i heard this)
*possibly keeps stomach more acidic which may be beneficial for fighting pathogens
*there are other theories why H. pylori might be beneficial, so don't only cite the eradication proposals. 
Hope that helps. [[User:Tom Kelly|Tom Kelly]] 22:34, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

If your library has this pathology textbook, there is a nice section on H. Pylori in the gastrointestinal section. It's made not too hard of a read, but you might need a dictionary handy. Tom Kelly 22:31, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

countering the erradication proposal

I heard that there is a theory that h. pylori may be beneficial.

  • possibly prevents reflux (i think i heard this)
  • possibly keeps stomach more acidic which may be beneficial for fighting pathogens
  • there are other theories why H. pylori might be beneficial, so don't only cite the eradication proposals.

Hope that helps. Tom Kelly 22:34, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
