Re: Will Mastic Gum kill good bacteria?

Mastica, the resinous gum of a species of Greek pistachio tree, Pistacia lentiscus, has been used in Greece for hundreds of years as a remedy for a broad range of gastro-intestinal disorders. It has been found to be an effective alternative to pharmaceuticals in the treatment of gastrititis, gastro-esophegeal reflux disease (GERD) and many types of intestinal inflammation. It is a safe and effective alternative to Antibiotics in the treatment of stomach and duodenal ulcers and the clearance of the bacteria so frequently the cause of these conditions, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Unlike Antibiotics , Mastica does not eradicate the populations of friendly bacteria in the intestines, so crucial to health and well-being.

Recommended usage:
2 capsules, 2 times daily, between meals. Chronic cases should be treated for a minimum of four weeks. Mastica is well tolerated and has not been known to cause side effects. It can be safely used by individuals on pharmaceutical medications.
