This “Dragon’s Blood” DESTROYED Ulcers… And Then Disappeared

Was a powerful, natural cure for stomach ulcers swept under the rug more than 20 years ago?

The facts speak for themselves… but every American deserves to hear the truth.

If you’re fighting an ulcer, your body never lets you forget for long.

The constant pain… and even the nausea and vomiting… can make life miserable.

And you’ve probably been told to “manage” the symptoms with drugs like proton-pump inhibitors that slow your stomach acid to a crawl.

But 26 years ago, an international research team put a natural remedy known as “dragon’s blood” to the test.

It attacked ulcers in three different ways… and even healed them.

But it’s what happened next that was horrifying.

The research was shut down… and countless seniors were left in the lurch.

This ulcer-destroying “dragon’s blood” was driven completely underground. But it’s still available… if you know where to look.

On riverbanks and in floodplains throughout the Amazon region, you’ll see clusters of small trees known as Croton lechleri.

But it’s the red sap that comes from the trees that has been prized by Amazonian tribespeople for centuries.

They call it sangre de grado – or dragon’s blood. And it’s been used as a folk remedy to treat upset stomachs, diarrhea, and even ulcers.

But could dragon’s blood actually deliver in a real, clinical research setting?

Back in 2000, that’s what an international team of scientists set to find out.

They took a group of mice and gave them stomach ulcers – and then put dragon’s blood in their water for seven days.

And one week was all it took for the magic to happen.

Levels of ulcer-causing bacteria dropped… inflammation levels sank… and the ulcers SHRANK and began to heal… in just one week.

The authors even concluded that dragon’s blood could be a “potent, cost-effective treatment for gastrointestinal ulcers.”

But that never came to be…

There were no headlines. There were no clinical trials. In fact, the research on dragon’s blood practically dried up.

There was one more study on mice that showed it also prevented ulcers. But other than that… radio silence.

It wasn’t because dragon’s blood didn’t work. We know it did.

It wasn’t because dragon’s blood isn’t safe. It’s been used safely for hundreds of years.

But dragon’s blood is a natural product that can’t be patented. There’s no Big Pharma payday at the end of this rainbow.

They’ve played around with isolating compounds from dragon’s blood for diarrhea… but they’re much more content to keep selling $4 billion a year worth of proton-pump inhibitors to treat ulcers.

But if you want to try dragon’s blood, there are a few suppliers selling it.

Vitacost sells a tincture you can mix with water, and Vital Planet offers dragon’s blood in a capsule form. Expect to spend about 50 cents to $1 a day – and talk to your doc to make sure it won’t interact with any other stomach medications you may be taking.
