“Stress, spicy foods, type A personality. Which of these causes most stomach ulcers? The answer: none of them. Research shows that most ulcers — 80% of stomach ulcers and 90% of those in the duodenum, the upper end of the small intestine — develop because of infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).” (http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/h-pylori-helicobacter-pylori)
Scientific Commentary about Colostrum and Ulcers
“Most ulcers are caused by the bacteria Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori). Many researchers have shown the benefits of bovine colostrum for ulcers caused by H. pylori. They show that bovine colostrum can block the binding of Helicobacter species to the lining of the stomach and intestinal tract and therefore inhibit infection. (Bitzan, Falk, Hamosh, Wada) The risk of Diabetes (IDDM), H. pylori-related ulcers, Crohn’s disease, and atopic disease is lower in individuals who were breastfed during infancy. These same protective factors apply to supplemental colostrum for adults and children.” - Beth Ley, PhD, COLOSTRUM: Nature’s Gift to the Immune System
“Several colostrum components stimulate wound healing. Nucleotides, EgF, TgF, and IgF-1 stimulate skin growth and cellular growth and repair by direct action on DNA and RNA. These growth factors facilitate the healing of tissues damaged by ulcers, trauma, burns, surgery, or inflammatory disease. Colostrum’s wound-healing properties specifically benefit the skin, muscle, cartilage, bone, and nerve cells.” — Zoltan Rona, M.D., The American Journal of Natural Medicine, Mar. 1998
