Another clinical study conducted by researchers from Israel showed that people who drink a cup of cranberry juice cocktail twice a day are three times more likely to ward off infection with the bacteria than those who do not. The results have been reported in The Inside Tract issue 122.
The researchers found then that compounds in cranberry juice inhibited the progress of three different strains of H. pylori and concluded that elements derived from cranberry juice showed promise as a possible therapeutic agent to eradicate or reduce the H. pylori flora in the stomach.
The researchers from Israel had demonstrated in the laboratory that cranberry’s bacterial anti-adhesion mechanism might be a new tool to fight ulcer disease.

Manuka Honey
There is some evidence that active Manuka honey completely inhibits the growth of H. pylori bacteria.
A study done by a research group from the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand came to this finding in a study that was published by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine. According to the research the Manuka honey completely stopped the growth of the bacteria.
When you buy Manuka honey, make sure it has a high MGO value (like this one) – the higher the MGO rating in Manuka honey, the higher the level of anti-bacterial activity in the honey.
