  A comment like this could be very insightful, but you didn't mention what h-pylori is, or why water treatments help reduce it.

    The cool thing about the internet is there's a whole universe of information at your fingertips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori

      I read an blog entry by a retired surgeon. He said when he started a lot of his bread and butter business was surgically fixing ulcers. Then came drugs to reduce stomach acid, followed by the discovery of Helicobacter pylori, and that business mostly went away.

    It's the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers.
