Evolution of 3G:

Evolution of 3G describes updating cellular telecommunications network around the world to use 3G technologies. Japan was the first country to commercially launch 3G in 2001. The transition to 3G was completed during 2005/2006 in Japan. In 2005, there were 23 networks world wide, operating 3G technology. Some are only for test use and some operators are providing services to consumers.

The main reason for the evolution of 3G was due to the limited capacity of the 2G networks.

2G networks were built for voice calls and slow data transmission. But these services were unable to satisfy the requirements of present wireless revolution.

International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has defined the demand for 3G in the International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT)-2000 standards to facilitate growth, increase bandwidth, support diverse applications.

The development like 2.5G or GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and 2.75G or EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) technologies resulted in the transition to 3G. These technologies act like bridge between 2G and 3G.

Features of 3G:

The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) has proposed 3G telecommunications standards to provide cost efficient high quality, wireless multimedia applications and enhanced wireless communications.

The features of 3G can be divided into two categories. One is data rates and the other is security.

• The main feature of 3G technology is that it supports greater voice and data capacity and high data transmission at low-cost. 3G mobiles can operate on 2G and 3G technologies.
• The second major feature is the security: 3G offers greater security features than 2G like Network Access Security, Network Domain Security, User Domain Security, Application Security.
• This technology provides localized services for accessing traffic and weather updates. Video calls and video conference is another major feature in 3G mobile technology. These features reduces the communication barriers between people, that were not sacked even with mobile phones.

Date transfer rates are high and can support even live TV channels over phone. Online media is another exciting feature in 3G mobiles. 3G mobiles highly attract the music lovers as they can listen to music and watch videos online and can download huge files with in less time.

Few 3G mobiles support MS-office and RSS feeds.

Advantages of 3G:

All the functions performed in a normal 2G mobile device can be performed in 3G at a higher speed.

3G provides faster connectivity, faster internet access and music with improved quality.

Few applications of 3G are:

• The 3G mobile can be used as a modem for a computer which can access internet and can download games and songs at high speed.
• 3G technology provides high quality voice calls and video calls.
• View live TV broadcasting in mobile. Get weather updates and news headlines in mobiles.
• 3G increases bit rate which helps the service providers to provide high speed internet facility and many applications to its customers.
• 3G devices can provide data transmission speed upto 2Mbits/s when used in stationary mode
• Provides multimedia services such as sharing of digital photos and movies.
• This technology provides real time multi player gaming and location-based services.
• 3G allows users to be online all the time.
• 3G also includes mobile office services, like virtual banking and online selling.
• Teleconferencing at work is one of the best applications.

Drawbacks:

Though there are many advantages with 3G technology, there are few drawbacks like

• Upgrading the base station and cellular infrastructure to 3G incurs very high costs.
• Service provider has to pay high amount for 3G licensing and agreements.
• Problem with the availability of handsets in few regions and their costs.
• High power consumption

3G technology provides high data rates and improved call quality, video calling facility and much more. This technology provides huge benefits to mobile users. The major drawbacks are from the regions where 3G is in initial stages of launch. These drawbacks can be minimized when 3G services are used extensively.

Most of the parents have a preconceived notion that most expensive/ luxurious schools will teach good soft skills to their children and hence indulge in paying huge fees to these schools. It has been observed that if the parents are with strong values, integrity and positive attitude, they can inculcate in their children a set of solid values like fairness, honesty, discipline, justice, integrity etc. right from their childhood. Even the school in which a person has been brought up, also influences his soft skills, if the school itself is with bad environment or bad culture, how can one expect to have good soft skills in a person who has been brought up in it.

When a person is looking for a job those with good upbringing will possess a strong set of soft skills that helps them to get selected for good jobs. Remember any thing that can be bought with money is a commodity. Sending a kid to the most expensive school is not enough.

The attitude of ‘Charity’ in the mind of a person starts from his home. Similarly, a person’s behavior and development of his soft skills starts from his home right from his childhood. How good or how bad a person’s soft skills are? mostly depends upon how well he has been brought up by his family members and the society to which he belongs.

Parents ignore the fact that it is their fundamental duty to instill a strong set of soft skills in their children right from their childhood by educating them about the acceptable attitudes and behaviors to be followed in the society. Thus, parents have to realize that proper upbringing helps in building the right foundation for their children in developing good soft skills.

So, good family upbringing plays a major role in helping the development of good soft skills and teaching to act appropriately in the society. Probably, the strongest influence in a person’s life and on his soft skills is the family he grew up in. The birth order, the personality of parents, treatment from siblings, the socioeconomic status of family, and education will shape the soft skills of a person.

If the person had no good relations in between and among the siblings of his family, he automatically carries the same to outside the home, may be to educational places and work places etc., which leads to poor soft skills. On the other hand, when a person has good communication and good relations in and among the family members or the siblings, then he tends to practice good communication skills, a positive attitude, and good negotiation skills etc., which are a part of soft skills.

In some families, parents never cared for their children and they grew up not knowing much about the outside world. As a result, the kids do not even know how to behave in the society and lack in their soft skills. On the other hand, when the parents care about their children and teach them how to behave in the society, how to talk with the people, how to understand the people, and how to tackle the hard situations etc., it has a positive impact on the kids. The children will develop a positive attitude, a tendency of facing challenges and builds empathy, which slowly develops a set of good soft skills for the child as he grows up in his life.

It has been also said that, confident and skillful parents adopting a ‘tough love’ approach to parenting in the upbringing of a child by balancing the affection and discipline seems to be most effective in terms of generating the characteristics such as purpose, self-regulation and empathy, which are considered to be good soft skills for a person. Parents cannot ignore their responsibility of giving a good upbringing to their kids. So, every parent must not forget that it is their duty to bring up their children not only giving good education but also good kind of attitude and culture.

When a child has a good family upbringing along with a good school education, that child is likely to do very well in life. Children who have been molded well by their parents & teachers, whose rational mind has been strengthened and good character has been build, can look forward to a bright career and contribute significantly to their employers success. Such individuals are valued greatly by employers.

Disadvantages of white rice

• White rice is digested quickly, that is, it breaks down into glucose quickly causing drastic reaction with insulin, so it is not suggested for diabetic patients. Besides, White rice has high value of Glycemic index (70), when it is consumed in more quantities it causes diabetes.
• It has low nutritional value.

When people started using white rice in 1897, it was found that, consuming white rice is the main reason for cause of deadly disease beriberi, due to lack of vitamin B1 in white rice, which is removed during processing. So Government of America, compelled companies to retain back naturally occurring vitamins (during processing) in white rice in order to obtain enriched rice (but no nutrients that has fiber).

Brown rice

Brown rice is, rice which is hulled (the covering husk is removed) leaving the outer layer of the bran on the grain. Brown rice contains all the edible parts of rice. At present, the cost of brown rice is very high as all the factories need to replace machinery to make (process) brown rice as all them are preoccupied with equipment to process only white rice.

Difference between brown rice and white rice and parboiled rice

• Brown Rice: Rice undergoes variety of processes before it gets ready for cooking. After harvesting, seeds are rolled through huller/husker for milling to remove outer grain husk. After this process, brown rice is ready. It is easy and simple.
• White rice: To get white rice from brown rice, the inner part of grain, germ and the inner covering of grain, husk (bran) are removed, then grain is polished with glucose or talc. The complete pounding and polishing (refining) that takes place to convert brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids.
• Parboiled rice: Parboiled rice is another type of rice obtained by a process of soaking, which is followed by pressure steaming and then drying of paddy form of rice. This process is carried out before milling. The rice obtains light yellow color. It has 80% of nutrients of brown rice.

Benefits of Brown rice

• It has more nutrients compared to white rice because of the presence of bran layer. This layer has digestible fiber along with minerals and vitamins that are absent in white rice.
• Brown rice is rich in manganese and provide 88% daily value of manganese. Manganese used in producing energy and Antioxidant protection.
• As brown rice is good source of fiber and selenium, it helps in prevention of cancer.
• Daily intake of brown rice reduces the cholesterol.

• A study published in the July 2004 issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology revealed that taking brown rice is helpful for women to prevent` gallstones, as it has insoluble fiber.
• Brown rice is the complete source, which has one of the most essential amino acid present in any vegetarian food.
• Vital vitamin E components and many valuable nutrients are present in brown rice.

Brown rice should not be treated as farmer’s food or animal feed because it has many nutritional values. However, white rice is easy to cook and looks pleasant it is not suggested for good health. It is better to switch back to brown rice to avoid the biggest killers of present generation such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer to have healthier and longer life.

The Iron pillar stands tall as an evidence to the skill and expertise of the metallurgists of ancient India showcasing the advancement in science and technology of India in 4th Century AD – during the Golden Age of India i.e the Gupta Dynasty.

Rusting is a common phenomenon with Iron objects. Any Iron object exposed to the atmosphere for a period of time would be expected to rust. For the same reason, things made from Iron are protected from rusting by a variety of methods including painting, galvanization, passivation, plastic coating and bluing.

For over 1600 years, this Pillar has not been under a shelter and has been continuously facing harsh summers, the rainy monsoons, and the humidity from the Gangetic plain. Though made 99.27% of Iron, it has not rusted making it a Scientific Wonder and showcasing the advancement of metallurgical prowess of the Indians in the Golden Age of India.

It took many years for the modern day corrosion scientists and metallurgical experts to unravel the secret of the amazing corrosion resistance quality of the 1600 year old Iron Pillar.

It stands as a symbol of the Indian expertise in the field of metallurgy during the Golden Age of Indian Civilization. The Gupta Iron pillar has long attracted the admiration of historians and curiosity of metallurgists mainly for its large size, manufacturing, and its excellent ability of self-preservation despite little maintenance.

Features of the Great Indian Iron Pillar:
The Great Indian Iron Pillar is estimated to weigh more than 6 tonnes, and stands 23.8 feet tall from the ground. It has a diameter of 41cm at the bottom. Its composition has revealed 99.27% of pure Iron. The Iron pillar is believed to have been manufactured in a single forge operation. Initially erected at Udayagiri close to Sanchi (near Bhopal in 4 Century AD) and later shifted to Delhi in 10th Century AD.

History of the Iron Pillar:
The Iron pillar was manufactured during the reign of Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya (375-414 A.D) of the Gupta empire. It is said that, the Iron pillar was erected on the top of Vishnupada hills. The original location of the pillar, Vishnupadagiri (meaning ‘Hill with footprint of Vishnu’), has been identified as modern Udayagiri, in the vicinity of Sanchi outside the city of Bhopal, MP (based on literary, archaeological, numismatic and geographic evidences).

Recent research has shown that the Iron Pillar was positioned at Vishnupadagiri in such a way that the early morning shadow of the Iron Pillar fell on the foot of Anantasayana Vishnu in cave. Therefore, the Great Indian Iron Pillar also highlighted the knowledge the ancient Indians had about astronomy, apart from providing solid proof of the metallurgical brilliance in ancient India. The Iron pillar was inscribed with Sanskrit inscriptions in brahmi script on its body, which spoke about the greatness of Lord Vishnu and the Gupta ruler Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya.

Later the Rajput ruler of Delhi, Rajput Tomar King Anangapala (predecessor of Prithiviraj Chauhan) brought it to Delhi and installed it in 1052 CE in a group of temples.

After the defeat of Prithiviraj Chauhan by Shahabuddin Ghori, his adopted slave son Qutb-ud-din Aibak used the materials from the destroyed temples to build the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque in New Delhi where this Pillar is currently located (in Qutb Minar Complex).

The fact that it is still rustless and standing despite the vandalization and destruction of 800 years of Foreign rulers stands testimony of the Indian’s abilities to build great, inspiring and indestructible wonders.

Lessons to Current Generation Indians from the Glorious Past:
The ability to conceive and manufacture the Iron pillar, goes to prove that our ancestors were far more advanced, knowledgeable and skillful than people in other civilizations during that period of time.

Unlike many Indians from current generation who only talk big and think great about themselves because of their inherited connection to the Great Indian Civilizations of the past. The Indians from the golden ages of Indian Civilizations let their work speak for themselves.

Many of the current day Indians think they are great without possessing any of the virtues that were characteristic of the people who lived during the time of the Great Indian Civilizations of the past.

For example, even for as small things as pens and shoes, many Indian companies advertise their foreign technology to sell their goods. People from the times of the Great Indian Civilizations, made sure the home grown technology was the most advanced in the world and used that skills to make lives better for other Indians living at that time. Sadly, today domestic technology signifies inferior technology.

They in fact, exported advanced technology and superior methods. For example the Indian numeric system (vastly superior to the Roman and other numeric system) was exported to other civilizations and this superior advancement reached the west through the Persians and Arabs and hence was called the Hindu Arabic numeric system.

The key takeaway from this living testimony of scientific advancement by Ancient Indians Civilizations is that when the Indian Civilizations was at the top:

• They did a lot of productive R&D in various fields, this article show cases this fact in metallurgy
• Indian domestic technology meant the best in the World.
• They could build imposing structures, that were wonders of the World.
• They used methods that were so unique and unheard by even 20th century scientists it took them decades to figure out the technology and the manufacturing know-how.
• There were thousands of competent and highly knowledgeable craftsmen who knew how to work together.
• They were skilled at their work and picked up big challenges and overcame the obstacles successfully.
• There was a can-do attitude at that time in people of that generation.

People typically become house poor because they buy more house than they can afford, but there are other ways that people can become house poor as well. For example, some people will become house poor after the birth of a child, when one spouse decides to stay at home with the new addition, rather than going back to work.

“House poor” is the term for those who spend too much on house payments and maintenance. It’s a common affliction. Sufferers starve their retirement accounts and miss pleasures such as dining out and taking nice vacations. Being house poor can even fracture a marriage.

In homeownership, as in all things, moderation is best, says Tahira Hira, professor of personal finance and consumer economics at Iowa State University.

Definitions

• The condition of having very little cash because nearly all of one’s net worth is tied up in one’s house. (Investor words)
• People who are short on cash because most of their money is tied up in their homes are “house poor”. (Dictionary by farlex)

How to Save Money
What is Rat Race?
Living Below Means

Our money saving secrets are simple, easy to implement and help you make substantial savings. Our focus is on tips that make substantial difference and help you save 40-60% and possibly much more. Such tips we call as secrets. For some of you, they may not sound great but once you implement them you will see big and long term savings that will change your financial situation.

There are some money saving tips that will save you 2-5% but not enough to make a fundamental difference to your financial situation. Plus, they could take so much of your time to implement them that they are not really practical. Such advise makes you penny wise and pound foolish.

Moreover, many people don’t know how to start saving, as this is not exactly told in school/college text books. If you are interested to save money by becoming financially intelligent, this article and others on this site will be vastly helpful.

Secret #1 – Pay yourself first!

Save by setting aside money for savings as soon as you get your salary. Rather than trying to stop spending, it is easier and more successful to prevent losing your savings. This also works off your positive energy – let us explain this. As soon as you get money at the start of the month first move a portion of the salary into another savings account – this money could be anywhere from 10% to 30% of your salary. You could also do an automatic payment to a recurring deposit.

The secret here is – the human motivation to not lose is up to 5 times stronger than the motivation to win. Once you make the commitment to pay yourself first – you are now working with the stronger human motivation to not lose money (that is working in your favor to help you save money). When you have set aside money as soon as you get your salary, and when you try to take a portion of that to buy something – you will question yourself strongly – is this really required? Because now you are taking away money from your wealth to pay something that may not be required and will reduce your hard earned savings.

Secret #2: Shop intelligently

Every person has genuine needs that require shopping. So you can never stop shopping, you need to shop intelligently. From small things like groceries to big ticket items like home, car and vacations – shopping intelligently helps save a lot of money without depriving yourself of any genuine needs.

When somebody needs something then they buy. However, some people also buy when they don’t require or buy much more than required. Some people also buy for status, for experience, or to make them feel superior. Purchasing makes you feel good about yourself for a few hours. People often shop to feel better about themselves; in such cases of shopping addiction, they find it difficult to save. So avoid shopping addiction to save money.

Secret #3: Understand the difference between fancy lifestyle and being rich

One of the major reasons that many people don’t save enough is because they do not understand the difference between a fancy lifestyle and being rich. Most people believe they need to increase their spending habits and have a lavish lifestyle once they have a little surplus. After all, they could not afford some things earlier and now that they have the surplus, why not buy the fancy vacation, car or house.

Wealth is the number of years you can live without earning a single rupee based on your current living expenses. If your living expenses decrease, then your current savings will make you wealthier. Similarly, if your living expenses increase, then you become less wealthy (rich).

While the currently wealthy, who have a fancy lifestyle catch your attention. Many of them, if they get too fancy may get less and less rich with each passing month. While the steadily rich, live below their means and avoid unnecessary fanciful lifestyle.

For example, while many small time entrepreneurs move to expensive cars like Mercedes Benz, Audi and BMWs. Narayan Murthy of Infosys fame with a net worth of Rs.7,000 crores only uses a Skoda. While Azim Premji of Wipro whose net worth is 60,000 crores drives a Toyota Corolla.

When you cannot afford something, not owning makes it feel lot worse emotionally. However, when you can afford something by paying full amount in cash, you do not feel bad. Because deep down you know you can buy that item whenever you want, you are making a conscious choice to not buy.

Secret #4: Open a separate account for your “saved money”

It is always better to have another savings account for your “saved money”. So you know this account is only for savings and you will never use this money for routine expenses. If you keep your saved money in your regular savings account, you will have to spend too much time reconciling the accounts to find how much money you have saved and how much money is towards this month’s expenses.

Preferably, you should not have a debit card or ATM card for this “saved money” savings account. If at all you need the money – you can use online banking to transfer from your regular bank account to this designated “save money” bank account.

If you do not have a separate account, you will not know how much balance you have for regular expenses like rent, phone bill, electricity bill etc. and how much money you have set aside for savings. As a result, you are very likely to use up money from what you have saved for making unnecessary expenses because you think you have not spend the full amount from this month’s salary or budget.

What next?

Now you are aware of the major secrets of saving money. Remember, the quote “to know and not to act is not to know”. So now you have to make the commitment to use these secrets to save lots of money. As much as your current income will allow. One of the abilities of self-made rich people is their ability to save aggressively. If you build a habit of saving money, you will most likely build a lot of wealth.

Now that brings us to one thought that may be lingering in your mind. Is it worth doing? I mean shopping discipline and avoiding fancy lifestyle looks like avoiding fun you may think. One of the things that people with lots of saving have is ‘peace of mind’ – the ability to be not stressed by monetary issues. While those who are not financially intelligent, are always stressed by money. This is many times, even after having a very good income.

So finally, the big benefit of saving and living a financially sensible lifestyle is about peace of mind, reduced anxiety that allows you to enjoy the many benefits of living life.

Simpler not materialistic things

Some try to view happiness through the bracket of a lavish lifestyle, riches, high status in society etc. But the parameters to judge happiness are different. Happiness can be easily achieved through smaller and simpler things like helping friends, colleagues, relatives without expecting anything in return; compassion; humility; caring attitude; positive outlook etc. As the best things in life are free, happiness can be guaranteed by adhering to these simple yet important things.

Men and women view happiness differently

In the research that was conducted, it was also found that happiness also varies according to the gender. While men found happiness in financial security and success, women laid emphasis on good health of family members as key to happiness.

But the common thing observed from the responses of both male and females is that well being and prosperity of family members and loved ones was the key factor for happiness. Although men equaled financial stability to happiness and women on good health of children and family members, they wanted everything sound on three fronts i.e. health, finance, and family.

Happiness is simple to attain but blown out of proportions by making it complicated. Instead of taking a straight forward approach, people prefer to go other way around.

Humans have natural tendency to follow the path of truth and righteousness that leads to happiness. Being unfair and following corrupt practices violates the basic foundation of human nature. Even after amassing huge wealth one can have sleepless nights over fear of losing it or raid from IT sleuths. Thus, a person can live a healthy and happy life that is devoid of complications and materialistic things. Happiness evolves from within and best achieved through simple living.

But how do you do it?

The answer can be found in answering four important questions -

What happens if you die tomorrow? Will the living conditions of your family be the same after you?

If your answer is no – which is by the way for 90% of Indians, then the single most important thing to do is to take pure TERM INSURANCE, equal to the earnings of your dependents.

This is the cheapest way to financially maintain your family’s living conditions, in case you are not around. A typical term insurance for a 25 year old costs Rs.3,000 per annum for Rs.10 lakh cover.

Many people wrongly avoid taking term insurance thinking that you won’t get the money back if you are alive. But the true purpose of insurance is to protect you from extraordinary circumstances for which you can’t normally be prepared. It is difficult to assume that a person who is just in his early work life can save so much as to protect his family’s living conditions. Meeting needs like child’s education, rent or EMI, parent’s health and other important money needs which are fulfilled by an earning member, become impossible in case of sudden demise.

A cost of Rs.3,000 per annum or Rs.8 per day is a very low cost for protecting your FAMILY FINANCIAL SECURITY.

What if you fall ill?

Falling ill is something unpredictable in the era of high stress. India is a country with all the world’s 2nd largest number of diabetics, large number of cardiac patients, and an ever rising number of various diseases like hypertension, cancer, etc. Need for hospitalization can set back any middle class family by Rs.1-5 lakhs for any major procedure. Add to it the stress of arranging money in difficult times, is itself a challenge. Also, compromising on the quality of healthcare for someone closely related is not an option.

Hence Medical Insurance is the best way to be prepared for contingency. A cost of Rs.10,000 per annum or Rs.30 per day for Rs.5 lakh cover, takes care of your and family’s various health needs for one year.

The earlier you enter into this policy, the cheaper it is and is hence in your favor.

What if you meet with an accident?

Meeting with an accident is one of worst nightmares one can face. Besides the pain and suffering, one has to endure significant financial loss for the family. In case of disability or loss of life, the financial needs of the family will be severely compromised. Though life insurance will cover some part of it, a low cost accident insurance is a recommended add on. At a very low cost of just Rs.3 per day, one can get insured against accidental events for about Rs.10 lakhs.

What if you lose your job today?

The world is dynamic and nothing can be taken for granted. Last few years have shown job losses are a reality which leads to severe cash crunch and increased stress. People can be out of jobs and hence salary for as long as 12 months, if economic conditions are not good. Hence, taking salary cheque for granted is a risk you must insure against.

A prudent way to deal with this phase of an individual’s life is to keep aside 3 to 12 months of expenses, which buys you peace of mind to allow focus your attention for looking out at new jobs.

The first step to an individual’s FINANCIAL LIFE is about answering the above 4 questions and satisfactorily meeting ones needs for LIFE, HEALTH, ACCIDENT and CASH needs.

Anything else in financial planning like investing for the future through any vehicle which promises long-term benefits should start after meeting the above needs. After all, to enjoy the benefits in the long-term, you have to survive the short-term.

Next steps:

Don’t read this article and forget it. Make a resolution to protect your family by taking care of these 4 things. Even though you know what you need, don’t underestimate the time and effort to put this in place the first time. Make a commitment to take care of these 4 areas. Follow up and set a goal to complete them over the next 30 days.

H. Pylori Bacteria Causes Acidity In Stomach
Lack of Health Awareness Creates Problems to Patients and Doctors

It can come as a knock on the head if someone is informed that they can be permanently cured of acidity. One can find it hard to believe that there is a magic bullet that can help get rid of acidity once and for all. The solution to this problem was found in early 1980’s by Warren and Marshall when they proved that many stomach ulcers and gastritis occurs due to infection caused by H. pylori bacteria. Their works remained in oblivion for long period and gained credibility only after they got Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2005 for their work.

About H. pylori bacteria:

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium which can infect or contaminate the human stomach, using the stomach’s mucus lining. It is a common bacterium infecting nearly half the world’s population. This bacterium can lead to digestive illnesses, peptic ulcers (sores), gastritis and even cancers.

H. Pylori increases the secretion of stomach acid, which allows acid to burn the sensitive lining which is beneath the protective mucous layer of the stomach and duodenum. Gastric ulcers (in stomach) or duodenal ulcers (in duodenum) are caused due to irritation of lining by both acid and bacteria and also creates holes (or perforation) if not treated in time.

H. pylori can survive in stomach acid as it secretes enzymes which will neutralize (nullify) the acid. This process makes H. pylori to safely survive in the protective mucous lining. The bacterium’s spiral (helical) shape assists in burrowing through the lining.

Symptoms of H. pylori infection:

The reason why many people will not sense symptoms of the presence of H. pylori in the digestive system, as increase of stomach acid or lowering of acid’s PH which generally obstructs the bacteria from migrating. Symptoms of H. pylori infection are burning abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating (swelling of belly), sudden weight loss, problems in swallowing, bloody vomit or stools.

Diagnose of H. pylori:

In order to get confirmed that symptoms are caused due to an ulcer, the doctor will perform an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series (X-ray of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) or an endoscopy. If an ulcer is detected in these tests, then the doctor will test for H. pylori. This test is necessary because treatment for an ulcer produced by H. pylori and an ulcer produced by NSAIDs is different. H. pylori bacteria is diagnosed or recognized using blood, breath, stool, and tissue tests of which blood tests are most commonly conducted.

Treatment for H. pylori infection:

H. pylori peptic ulcers must be treated with drugs which can destroy the bacteria, reduce the secretion of stomach acid, and protects the stomach lining.

Treatment generally includes a combination of antibiotics (to kill bacteria), acid suppressors (H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors), and stomach protectors. The most convinced effective treatment for H. pylori infection is a 2-week course of treatment known as triple therapy. This therapy involves consuming of two antibiotics and either an acid suppressor or stomach-lining shield. Recent studies proved that 2 weeks of triple therapy is ideal and excellent even though it had some side effects.

Causes of H. pylori infection:

Swimming in or drinking contaminated water and lack of hygiene serves as a source of bacteria. H. pylori bacteria are contagious and get transmitted mostly through oral to oral or fecal-oral route from the infected person. The process of how H. pylori spreads is not known to anyone, so prevention will be difficult.

Even the Pharma companies are reluctant to actively promote a permanently cure for acidity. Recently allegations are being made that big Pharma companies unnecessarily flared up the swine flu scare to rake in huge profits. In similar way, the Pharma companies, inspite of knowing that acidity is caused by H. pylori did not actively promote this information and increase awareness among affected people. May be, loss of decades of antacid sales from each patient was a big disincentive.
