Summary 

Helicobacter pylori is a flagellate, gram-negative bacterium which lives in the pyloric region of the human stomach and is a major cause of a large proportion of peptic ulcers, some non-ulcer dyspepsias and rarely, gastric cancers. It is a microaerophilic (anaerobic) organism. In place of the several drugs currently in use for treating H. pylori infection, plain simple atmospheric air swallowed or sucked into the stomach, or drunk by any of the various techniques described here and then posturally manoeuvered to the pyloric region by inverting the trunk for a few minutes on a daily basis could be used as a preventive as well as a therapeutic measure for established H. pylori infection. Air is always present in the fundus of stomach, which is the reason why H. pylori does not colonise in the fundal region.
