H. pylori eradication and NSAIDs: effects on ulcers

First, I think that there are too many questions about H. pylori’s effect on ulcers. Some researchers say it is supposed to be there, some say H. pylori is an infection and needs to be medicated, yet others suggests that H. pylori protects against reflux disease. Next, (and here comes my chiropractic viewpoint) what is the reason the patient is taking the NSAIDs and can the problem be fixed so the drug is not needed??

Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics 14 (7), 879-885 Eradication of H. pylori prior to NSAID therapy significantly reduces the level of apoptosis in the gastric mucosa, which may contribute to maintaining mucosa integrity and preventing ulcer development.
