My doctor has prescribed antibiotics and antacids for my ulcer. Can I combine extra virgin pine nut oil with these medications?
First of all, although it is a good idea to consult a qualified health professional with any health problem (we think that, in most situations, a naturopathic physician is the best available option), you must be informed that all synthetic antibiotics and stomach acid suppressors have very strong and serious side effects. For example, the antibiotics prescribed to eliminate Helicobacter pylori may fail to destroy their intended target, but are guaranteed to kill billions upon billions of beneficial bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract, effectively annihilating normal gastrointestinal flora. It may take months or even years to bring it back to normal (in some people, it never recovers). Another serious and potentially life-threatening condition which sometimes develops after the use of antibiotics is called pseudomembranous colitis. On average, it develops in 0.5 to 4 percent of those treated with antibiotics to eliminate peptic ulcers. Additional side effects associated with the use
