For many years people that suffered from peptic ulcers were told to eat very limited diets that consisted of bland foods and milk. It has been shown recently that this approach is not the best way to treat either existing ulcers or preventing them in the future. We now know that eating a diet that is rich in fiber will not only help to prevent these ulcers but will aid in the quickly healing ones that already exist. Foods that are rich in fiber would include fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods offer protection and along with the vitamins that they contain will increase their effectiveness.
Some recent studies focused on the effects of exercise on the prevention of ulcers. While it did show some reduction in men it showed none in women. While stress relief programs did not show any ability to reduce the risk of ulcers in either men or women they do have other important health benefits. Prolonged periods of stress can deplete the body of much needed nutrients and vitamins making us susceptible to a number of negative health conditions.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN A IN TREATING ULCERS
For people that already have developed ulcers this vitamins role is to protect the lining of the stomach and stop the progression of the ulcer from getting worse.
It can also aid in speeding up the recovery of ulcers in the small intestine. Patients are advised to eat foods high in vitamin A or to receive it from supplementation. Foods that are rich in vitamin A would include cod liver oil, hard cheeses and margarine and butters that are fortified with vitamin A. Fruits such as carrots, spinach and sweet potatoes are also high in this vitamin.
Dosages that are normally suggested by doctors would be 25,000 IU per day for a period of one week with a reduction to 10,000 IU after that. This will maintain optimal levels. One note here is that pregnant women or women who are planning to get pregnant should not take more than 5000 IU per day.
THE ROLE OF VITAMIN C
This vitamin can works by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria which is responsible for causing peptic ulcers. If this bacteria is not controlled it can eventually block the absorption of vitamin C into the body. If this is allowed to continue what started out as a peptic ulcer can become stomach cancer.
The suggested dosage in the treatment of ulcers would be 1000mg taken twice a day. Because some may experience diarrhea it is also available in a buffered form. Foods which contain vitamin C are citrus fruits and some vegetables such as broccoli.
Up until now anti acid drugs were prescribed to treat these ulcers but are being replaced by what is called proton pump inhibitors. This is a more natural approach and can be used in conjunction with other drugs that may be prescribed. One of these is Deglycrrhizinated licorice also known as (DGL). This can be used with other measures prescribed by your health care professional. It works by addressing the underlying case of the ulcer rather than only addressing the symptoms. DGL works by enhancing our body's natural defense mechanisms that aid in preventing ulcers. It also has the advantage of not having the side effects of many drugs.
Ulcers do not have a sure fire cure but if caught early on can be effectively treated without having further complications. You need to consult with your doctor to come up with a treatment plan that is appropriate for your particular situation.

Christmas Sales YS Royal Jelly/Honey Bee - Propolis Extract Ultimate Strength Overview
Immune Boosting PowerPropolis is a resinous substance gathered by the bees from the leaf buds or the bark of certain trees and bushes. The bees then use the propolis as a "cement" that lines the walls of the hive in which they prepare honey, pollen, royal jelly and other related by-products. Nature has provided bees with this substance to keep them and their hives free of germs in spite of 40,000 to 50, 000 bees being crammed into close quarters in the hive. The green to brownish glue-like material with an aromatic smell and slightly bitter taste is made up of 50 to 55 percent resin and balsam, 40 percent wax, 10 percent other, depending on what kind of foliages available. Researchers found the therapeutic properties of propolis come from substances called flavonoids found in the resin. Propolis is rich in minerals, B-vitamins and antibiotics and works to raise the body's natural resistance by stimulating it to produce its own disease fighting defenses. Bees collect propolis, treat it with their own enzymes and use the sticky material to patch holes, or cracks in the hive. This organic "cement" protects the insects and their home from contamination, moisture, and germs.SAVE NOW on Christmas Sales Offers below!
