Jerry,

I especially liked the following excerpts from the Osgood File on THE TRUTH ABOUT ULCERS Error!: "And 13 thousand die from stomach CANCER. . . which ulcers can turn into. . . and is also strongly linked to Helicobacter. So its SERIOUS business we're talking about."

Ulcers are just part of the unfolding H. pylori story in my opinion. The market for H. pylori testing and treatment is big just for those suffering from ulcers, but a much bigger market is sure to emerge when people begin to assimilate H. pylori with the dreaded CANCER.

If the government can promote periodic screening for prostrate, breast, and cervical cancers, then it sure should promote testing for H. pylori. I've heard about a number of major ongoing studies to determine if H. pylori's a major risk factor in stomach cancer. Many studies have already been completed that indicate it is, and the Word Health Organization has classified H. pylori as a category 1 carcinogen, the same category as cigarettes.

We'll be hearing much more about H. pylori, that we can bank on.

Mike
