These organs need to be supported and strengthened, and when these organs are fatigued and tired, I have some herbs here that have shown through research and through clinical experience to help cleanse out the kidneys and the spleen and to help release some of this H. pylori.

And these few that I really like are Golden Thread Supreme, Chinese Coptis, Scutellaria, which is skullcap, Uva Ursi, which is a big kidney builder, kidney yang.

Foraging for the truth: How is research changing the face of herbal medicine with Dr Merlin Wilcox
M
8:55Merlin WilcoxGUEST
Um, those clinical trials in the UK are much harder to do than in Africa because regulations here are much, much stricter, and in general, the system is sort of, uh, biased against herbal medicine, so it makes it very hard to do that type of research.
M
9:10Merlin WilcoxGUEST
But the team in Southampton has a great setup, and so we've been involved in various clinical trials of, for example, um, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi for urine infections, Pelargonium for, um, bronchitis, Andrographis for cough, um, and most recently, a Chinese, um, mixture of eight herbs called Shu Feng Jie Du for acute exacerbations of COPD.
M
9:40Merlin WilcoxGUEST
Um, so that's been really interesting as well, um, and, um, has yielded some quite interesting results.
