mastic...
Posted , 2 users are following.
Has anyone come across any product related to mastic? It comes from the pistacchio tree and is helpful in combatting dental plaque, h pylori, ulcers and other abdominal disorders.
I am wanting to know what the experience has been and whether it has been of any help.
I have tried to post on this twice before, and each time, have been stopped and sent to the moderator. No idea why!

Be interested to see any research to support the other claims.

Obviously, I am looking for feedback, research, etc. I may try to research it, although it would not appear on any recognised medical site.
There is so much information on this item, that there must be something to it. H Pylori sufferers have posted that they do nnot get rlief from the use of antibiotics and if they do, it is temporary, as the bug penetrates the mucous membranes of the abdomen. Mastic is supposed to be able to go where "no man has been before....!" Whether it is too good to be true - that is the question...!
I have symptoms, that fit in with HP, but not formally diagnosed. Only just recently heard of the condition!
