Moreover, an increasing number of doctors and medical researchers, led by Dr. Martin Blaser, President-elect of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and founder of the Foundation for Bacteriology, think that Helicobacter pylori may be protective against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and stomach cardia - a particularly deadly form of cancer that is becoming more and more widespread. According to Dr. Martin, H. pylori and humans have co-evolved for many thousands of years, and, until very recently, all humans were colonized by these bacteria. This means that H. pylori must be a long-established part of our normal bacterial flora, or "indigenous biota".

H. pylori is our friend!!!

gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and stomach cardia - a particularly deadly form of cancer

Do any of these really interest you?

Stomach Cardia sounds like fun!

yeah i am learning about all that in radiographic pathology right now

Stomach Cardia doesn't seem to relate to ulsers

But...H.plyori requires antibiotics.

This thread is giving me an ulcer...trying to make sense of it!

I'm done, that was interesting for awhile but ...good luck with that!

I looked at all these...gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and stomach cardia - a particularly deadly form of cancer I checked 3 sites on each and did a word search on "ulser" and none of them relate to ulsers. I'm done, bye
