Nobel Prize for Medicine 2005
The Nobel committee today announced the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2005: Barry J. Marshall and J. Robin Warren for their discovery of “the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease”
The winners made the unexpected discovery that inflammation in the stomach (gastritis) as well as ulceration of the stomach or duodenum (peptic ulcers) are the result, not of endogenous factors but of infection with a “corkscrew-shaped” bacterium H. pylori

when I was a PhD student in Tohoku University (1981-1984), I suffered a serious duodenal ulcer. I used medicines but without recovery. I concluded that it was possible of the stress of the heavy working. So I decided to drink some sake (Japanese wine) ( previously I never drank alcohol) to decrease the stress and would recover from duodenal ulcer. The result was great. I recovered from duodenal ulcer. By discovery of Marshal and Warren I understand that the alcohol not only decreased the stress and tention but eradicated H. Pylori.
