Having an ulcer is one of the most embarrassing and painful situations that can occur for a middle-aged man. I have already struggled with other gastrointestinal issues (hemorrhoids, frequent colonoscopies, etc.) so to learn that I might be suffering from ulcers as well was a bit of a blow. I have been getting increasingly tired of going to doctors every time something seems a bit off when I go to the bathroom. There are so many thoughts that rush through a person's head when something seems wrong with the body that it becomes natural to immediately run to the hospital. I had never put much stock in herbal, homeopathic, or home-based remedies, but after a number of my friends and colleagues suggested that I try them, since there is truly nothing to lose, I decided to begin my research.This book provided so much more than the common Internet blogs about various home remedies, which are hardly reliable and are usually incomplete, simplified versions of some other herbal remedy. I found very little success following the anonymous advice of the blog-o-sphere, but this book was different. It was clear-cut, well laid out, explicit, and non-judgemental. It presented all of the relevant solutions that people had found around the world in various disciplines of thought and then allowed the reader to choose which path they wanted to take. There was so much more to learn about my system and the concept of having ulcers that I hadn't learned from my doctor. This book will certainly reduce my panic, as well as my trips to the doctor. Most importantly, perhaps, many of the home remedies work! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has suffered from any stomach issues; the book has advice on more than just ulcers. Great research was done on an important topic and the findings were well written. The author deserves a round of applause for making ulcers less intimidating than they used to be!
