Some more science behind the use of raw natural honey like Jarrah or Manuka to help fend off HP... it all helps!!!

I wonder if Dr Barry Marshall has used this in his labs at UWA??? Any comments Dr Marshall and his Team?

interesting search. However, many natural ingredients, eg. chili, garlic, curry, salt etc, has been shown to have anti-H.pylori effect in vitro (meaning outside human body). In comparison to countries such as China and India where these ingredients were consumed daily, their H. pylori infection rate is still sky rocket.

Honey, in natural, is low water and very high sugar content. under such condition, not many micro organism can survive. here is a publication on Manuka honey human trial on H. pylori - not working in vivo.
