It has been known since 1983 that the Helicobacter Pylori bacterium is the cause of most cases of gastritis, duodenal ulcers, and gastric ulcers. Click here to read a full report on this. These bacteria tunnel through the stomachs mucous layer and into the gastric mucousa where they attach to mucous secreting cells. They then continually damage mucousal cells and cause the constant painful inflamation that is characteristic of these conditions. As a result of Bob Becks research into electro-therapy it is now known how to easily kill these bacteria without having to take antibiotics which always destroy the good intestinal bacteria which are needed for good digestion, assimilation of B vitamins, and the suppression of bad bacteria growth. My lawyer friend, Gabriella Garcia, in Costa Rica was able to eliminate (cure) her painful gastritis by use of our Microbe Electrifier by application of its 100hz electric current with the 3" square cloth electrodes front & back of her stomach for 15 minutes twice a week for 3 weeks. This was no surprise to me because its been proven time and again, both in the laboratory and in people, that electricity of sufficient strength (but not enough to feel) disables all different types of bacteria so that the immune system can then remove them.
