Deep sea water (DSW) is characterized by high purity, low temperature, high nutrients and
minerals and is obtained from the water flows 200 meters under the surface of the sea. The
inhibition of H. pylori growth by DSW has been demonstrated in vitro study. However, up to
now, there is few randomized control study to evaluate the anti-bacterial effects of
ingesting DSW in patients with H. pylori infection.
The aims of this study are:
1. to evaluate the anti-bacterial effects of ingesting DSW in patients with H. pylori
infection;
2. to evaluate the patient adherence and adverse effects of ingesting DSW.
