“Here we show that fungi migrate from the gut lumen to the pancreas, and that this is implicated in the pathogenesis of PDA [Pancreatic Duct Cancer]. PDA tumours in humans and mouse models of this cancer displayed an increase in fungi of about 3,000-fold compared to normal pancreatic tissue.
Now, seborrheic dermatitis, related to it, increases chance of peptic ulcers by 1.6 times.

Have used it myself and can verify it takes 2 weeks and might come back some after 3 months…
Have a peptic ulcer that won’t go away – consider fungal treatment. Theoretically, treatment with antibiotics for helicobacter, might increase fungal presence…
