For those of us suffering from both known and unknown stomach maladies (in my case the wonderful catchall dyspepsia, for which there is no cure -- see this book to have that driven home in full force!) The Ulcer Story is highly informative. Although it is written in quite a professional tone -- no layperson here -- still, I believe anyone can understand it and benefit from the many detailed descriptions of treatments, as well as the photographs.

I highly recommend this book.

Stop looking. This book is a one stop guide that will enable you to understand what your body is doing in those places you can't see, but you KNOW they are there. I believe every doctor should update their ulcer related knowledge by reading this book. "The Ulcer Story" is written in an easy to digest manner, so don't hesitate in finding out about YOUR stomach.

I had H. pylori previous to discovering through an Endoscopic exam that a Peptic ulcer hadn't healed and a growth developed on a healed Duodenal ulcer. Result: Surgery. Afterward, I was so sick and no one had an answer for "what do I do now"?

Get this book before surgery. Find out your options for treatment before and after. Take it with you to the doctors office. Go armed with information that will help you be a smart consumer. You couldn't spend your time better or money wiser.

"Ulcer Free: Nature's Safe & Effective Remedy for Ulcers" by Georges M. Halpern, MD is one of the more useful and informative books on the subject of peptic ulcer care. This book is written from the viewpoints of the doctor, scientist and teacher, all of whom the author is. Though concise, there is room in this paperback for chapters dealing with Peptic Ulcer Disease, NSAIDs and Ulcers, Lifestyle Causes and Factors, Symptoms and Diagnoses, Conventional Ulcer Treatments, Alternative and Complementary Treatments, A Natural Approach to Ulcer Treatment and Conclusions plus a helpful Glossary and extensive references.

WHAT REALLY SETS THIS BOOK APART:

"Ulcer Free" examines the likely candidates for treatment that you have tried or may have yet to try. Different medicines and classes of drugs are discussed and evaluated based on their efficacy, long-term effects on the human body and side effects. Even Traditional Chinese Medicine is included. Most importantly, a revolutionary new treatment using Zinc-Carnosine is examined in depth.

Scientific studies are referred to through the entire text, and as books written for lay people go, this book includes some pretty good science. Add to this, it reads fast and understandably while addressing the concerns of the patient. In an hour or so, you will be able to find answers to many specific questions about medicines, symptoms, dosages and alternative treatments as they existed in 2002.
