Using Unripe Plantain to Cure Stomach Ulcer
82 Health is wealth and wealth is wealth. it is the most priceless gift any one can get in life. If I am not healthy, I don’t think I would be here on Hubpages today writing the things that makes me happy, even though I don’t earn from it, yet I would love to make a living through my writings; dual nature that we humans seem to possess, making us seem comparable to waves.
Many of us have not come to appreciate this precious gift that God Almighty has given us today, to be alive and not just being alive, but to be healthy without much health complications though many believe only in science.
I remember when I was 15 or so, I was struck by a very deadly sickness that almost took my precious life away from me. But I asked God for just one thing, that thing was a chance to live healthy again, and this we (I and God) sealed as a deal (so funny I know, how man can make a deal with God).
What was our deal, you may ask, that I would sing for him in the church choir, as one of choristers in church, if he gives me this opportunity to live a full life again, so desperate I was, I agreed, deal sealed. A good Christian may call this a covenant either, and a psychologist may call it a sub-conscious reasoning but I prefer to call it a deal. This proved one significant thing to me, God truly exists, please don’t doubt it, believe it today.
So surprisen to all, including my loving mom, I started recovering without further medications, as usual, when all hope was lost, funeral arrangements waiting to be made, but in a very sad manner, what an untimely death if it happened, many thought in their inner minds. But only me knew the secret that I was going to be all right.
Before a week time, I recovered from the sick bed, and became healthy again. Glory be to God! But too bad of me, I never joined the choir as promised, and whenever I think of this, fear overcomes my joy, but God is so merciful, especially to poor sinners like me, he still continued to guide me all through to date.
Let us put aside the long story and face our topic, what was it again…oh to cure stomach ulcer yourself, without visiting any doctor. Yes it is real. Remember, natural herbs and leaves were what our forefathers used in treating themselves of all illnesses, and guess what? Most of them lived up to the age of 130 years healthy life, unlike us now. My paternal grandfather died at the ripe age of 119 while his wife died at 118, this was in 1984 and 1991 respectively. And my maternal granny is still alive, and my mother said she is 120 this year, and she is still healthy. Because I visited her in her little home, last Sunday the 22nd of march, being mothering Sunday worldwide, for Anglicans, she was sounding so lively, as she asked me several questions about school, and some old folks that died since the time, I can not tell.
The most funny of it all, she asked me to dash her some money, I wondered what she needed this money for, but finally, I did, at least to make her happy, even though I knew she won’t use it for anything, imprisoning a fruitful note. But she still feels like earning some money herself, haha…
Now before I start my little lecture on how to cure a stomach ulcer yourself, what is stomach ulcer? Please I would love to make a point here, mind you, I am not a medical doctor, neither am I a health expert, but all I know is that I have got a reliable, tested way of curing a stomach ulcer without modern drugs. And I have used this method to cure myself and so many other people here in my small country.
Stomach ulcer is a wound or sore on the intestine, which is normally caused by excessive gastric acid content in the stomach (or more well, intestine), causing a serious pain in the patients’ stomach. The pains grew more severe when the patient go empty stomach for a long time, may be 5 hours, 6 hours or so.
It is a very painful condition, which I cannot just explain in detail here, but the patients alone knows how painful an ulcer could be. It could make you want to take your own life, but please, don’t let that come into your head, I have brought a reliable solution for you, so cry no more.
It was my maternal grandma, who gave my mom this wonder-cure, when I developed this illness in 2003, when I just got admission to study mechanical engineering at the university. I caused this illness for myself, but I am not regretting it happened to me, for at least, I learned how to cure it now.
When I got this admission, I was too conscious of making a first class, so I red and red all night, burning every midnight candle, starving myself of food all day. And whenever mom calls to know how I was faring, I told her, no problem at all, juts pray for me to make a first class mom. That was my usual statement.
Gradually, I developed ulcer, and it almost destroyed my life and academic career, truly, God wants me to live for a good purpose, I know. So I had my first crisis, and my parents were contacted to come and take me home for proper care, so they rushed down without any delay.
I was rushed to our family doctor, he gave all his prescription, according to his own knowledge and wisdom anyway, but the ulcer would only stop for a while and reoccurred again, and each time, very serious and hurtful.
Mom went to see her mother on a regular visit, and granny asked of me, because she normally did, I happened to be the last child of my parents, so she was so fond of me. Mom told her I was down, and was admitted at the hospital, she screamed and cried out, and as I learnt, she wanted to come over to the hospital to see me, but she couldn’t, because of her age.
She then inquired of the cause of my illness, mom told her ulcer, she almost fell from her usual relaxation bench, but mom caught her hand (all these, I was told by mom). At this time, granny had to tell my mom what to do as soon as she got home, and she strongly insisted that mom took me out of the hospital, very difficult task for mom, since dad believed more on the modern drugs. But then, I was dying inside me, as I ate through a straw.
The doctor became tired after prescribing all sorts of ulcer drugs he knew, but to no avail. So he advised my parents to take me home, that I would recover gradually, a deceitful consolation indeed. They had no option, they agreed and took me home.
So mom had to try granny’s wonder-cure using only some couple of unripe plantain and water. What did I just say now? I was cured of my stomach ulcer using only unripe plantain and water. Nothing else was added or removed.
How does it work?
Unripe plantain has a sticky gum, which is some how hard to remove if it gums on your hand, so our forefathers, recognized this gum content of an unripe plantain as having the power to cover up those wound or sore in your intestine, thereby silencing them forever. I did this further research, after my recovery.
How to prepare the medicine.
. Get two or three fruits of an unripe plantain, peel out the bark and wash if you desire to do that.
Cut them in smaller pieces, may be 5 mm or so, just cut them in smaller portions, so as to aid its fermentation.
Now, get a 4 or 5-liter plastic container, with cover, and then wash it thoroughly and allow it to dry.
Fill the container with the already pieced unripe plantain.
Now fill the container with clean water, to at least it’s half or more, but don’t fill to the brim.
Cover the container tightly and Shake it together with its contents, and then store in a good place for fermentation to take place within two or three days.
After a period of two to three days, check your concussion, it is now ready for use. Don’t be afraid to take it or give it to someone you know, as none of the contents is poisonous as you can see for yourself.
How to take it.
Before meals, take a glass (standard tumbler, around 30ml), twice or trice a day, depending on the urgency for cure. Take this for at least two or three weeks, and then go for a medical check up, or observe the effect in your body yourself. You will observe that your stomach ulcer has been cure completely, and never to come back as when cured using a modern medication.

does it matter which type of plantain you use? are there different types of plantain? can u show me a pix of plantain so there is no confusion as to what u are talking about?
Mary Ellen, anyway, for now, i have no much chance to take a photograph of the plantain because of my job, but if you can be able to recognize the West African type of plantain, with green bark, and a bit curved like a concave, thats the type. you can search for this type online. i wish you the best and God's divine healing! thanks for reading.

Hi im currently suffering from stomach pain every now and then. usually 8 occurs 2-3hrs after eating meals. Sometimes I am force 2 jump off the bed in the middle of the night to look 4 something 2 eat, to comfort my painful burning stomach. Im so glad I find this blog of yours. Im planning to try your suggested remedy. I am hoping that this would really help me and save my life (although not 100% sure 8z ulcer)I conclude 8 is bcoz of the common symtoms. Btw do you have any idea if this Plantain is the same as what they call "stampelco" (a variety of banana that has a large plantation in General Santos City in Mindanao) its usually slim, long and remain green even if its already ripe? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so much. May God Bless us all.

Am I suppose to refrigerate the plaintain substance?
I have a deodunal ulcer, which is 4 years old. Now I ve become anemic to it.
how long does the extract last b4 expiration
Wow! Excellent article. I thought I read every home remedy out there, but I've never heard of using a plantain.
I was diagnosed with an ulcer in my esophagus in January. I had a bleeding ulcer and had several tests and medications thrown at me, but none of them healed my problem. I was taking 8-10 pills daily and nothing was working.
I began taking enzyme vitamins, went on a raw foods diet and began drinking cabbage juice 4 times a day. Within 6 weeks, all of my symptoms were gone and I was off of all the medication.
@Davidjames, i am very very glad for your wonderful testimony, i join you in thanking God Almighty who approved your miraculous healing, and please do avoid anything that may trigger it again. best of luck and thanks for reading.
Hey,i've been sufering from gastric with duodenal ulcer for more than 20yrz now and am only 25,i suffer so so much u cant imagine,i would like to take the medication but what are the implications?
I can confirm that your solution works, I've tried it and is very effective. Cientific studies confirm it too, look at this link:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC198726
They studied it in mice and discovered that unripe plantain "stimulate[s] the growth of gastric mucosa" and they found that the healing component it's water soluble.
You should also take glutamine daily (or drink Cabbage juice which has a lot of glutamine) to help reconstitute the gastric cells. So the unripe plantain protects the cell by stimulatin the mucus and the glutamine helps regenerate the cells.
I would only add that I boil the water and let it cool down before adding the plantain.
@ Abe, thanks for this wonderful commendation and confirmation. i believe the link will help a lot of people out there. God bless your effort more abundantly. thank you once again and keep researching, may heavens bless your effort in life. bye and do keep in touch.
The symptoms of a peptic ulcer vary and, by themselves, are not a reliable way to tell whether you have an ulcer.
Pls i want to know whether the water is warm water or just natural water i.e. cool water.
Hello Maryjane, use cold water not warm water, though warm water will also be okay. where in Nigeria are you? you can write to me directly, or follow me on twitter id: "accofrancco" or the name: "Nwiro Ngozika" on facebook: http://facebook.com/accofranco
you can come back for more clarifications. good luck dear.
tanx 4 ur reply. i am @ Nkpor - Onitsha Anambra State, Nigeria.
The fact is that i've suffered from this chronic ulcer for 3 years now and since i got married, i've not been able to conceive.
May God bless U & continue to widen ur knowledge & understanding, Amen!
The doctor said that i have the kind of stomach ulcer called GERD. So, can using the plantain as U prescribe cure it also.
it is really a fantastic write-up. but i advice patience, for medical test to confirm that they are suffering from ulcer before taking the medication. love you all!
@maryjane...it helps even the most critical ulcer..mine was..and it cured me...
@david otah, yes it is advisable to always go for a medical test before indulging in any form of medication..self medication is not advisable..neither did i advice that..and thanks for reading and adding a very vital point..i really appreciate..thanks and please do read some other of my articles..they are fantastic...
May God reward you for sharing such an important knowledge.
@Hashim, you made me want to do more...anyway, thanks for that awesome encoragement...i am glad you found it useful...please do share it among your friends and relations...i wish you a prosperous new year...
Great article I have a very sensitive stomach and anything that soothes or regenarates the mucosa is sooo helpful. I will try your cure.
Do you eat/put away the plantains after 2-3 days? If not, I suppose they will ripen and eventually go bad... befor you drink the whole thing? Do you need to refrigerate? Thanks.
@Marie1107, if you follow the procedures, i don't think any would remain after such period. but anyway, it does no harm...but follow the procedures...good luck, and i wish you a quick recovery. thanks for reading.
It helps me! This is fantastic recipe!But i dont now how long can i drink,because after three weeks i have got stiil some symptoms,however i feel much,much better! Conventional medicine does not help me.Great thanks!
@piotr, you can repeat the therapy until the symptom clears, it has no side effect, but you must avoid all those things that may trigger it during the course of administering the therapy to ensure effectiveness and best result. meanwhile, you shouldn't expect an immediate relief as you already know that this is a wound that needs time to heal completely if i may be right...anyway, thanks for that positive testimony, do pass the article along, share it with your friends and family members and let us make this world a safer healthier place for all to live...best of luck and fast recovery. bye for now
I feel a burning sensation in my stomach 4 as long as 2hrs after eatin a meal dat has pepper in it, is dis an ulcer symptom, cos i really want 2 try dis
@Jenifer, i am very sorry for neglecting your vital comment, you are very correct...i think that link may also be useful for diagnosis though, one needs to confirm through a reliable medical test.
@weazley, you need to go for a proper medical checkup before using the therapy, to ensure that you really have ulcer, because stomach upsets come in varied symptoms, and some may even disguise themselves...so go for a medical test first. thanks for commenting, i wish you a fast healing and recovery. stay blessed!
I want to specially appeal to all my esteem readers, especially those that i ignored their question or comments, please find it in your heart to forgive my poor attitude towards this. kindly go through this comment and find answer to your question.
