Natural Relief From Heartburn, Reflux, Indigestion, and GERD
If you suffer from heartburn, indigestion, reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) then you can find relief.
Why Stomach Acid Is Good For You by Jonathan V.
Wright and Lane Lenard, Ph.
D.
, is quite eye-opening and might help you to understand the real culprit of your pain.
Drs.
Wright and Lenard begin the book by telling the story of a patient who was gray.
He literally did not have any pink tones to his body.
He was 61 years old at the time and very fatigued.
In his forties he started taking Tums or Rolaids for indigestion and then years later he found relief by taking a prescription antacid, Tagamet.
By the time he landed in the doctors office, he had taken Tagamet daily for almost 7 years.
The doctors go on to explain the myth of acid indigestion.
Many people self-diagnose their discomfort and similar to "Mr.
Gray" and find relief by taking over the counter antacids such as Tums or Rolaids.
Often times, they graduate to a prescription medication like Prilosec, Prevacid, Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid or Axid.
These methods reduce the amount of stomach acid.
This seems like a good protocol and it makes sense, right? It was interesting to learn that the complaints about heartburn increase with age while at the same time our stomach acid levels decrease.
But doesn't heartburn come from too much stomach acid? That's what the doctors and commercials say.
The doctors share that the majority of the time the real culprit is low stomach acid levels and inappropriate timing of stomach acid secretion.
Antacids temporarily relieve the symptoms, but long term use can cause dependency and a host of other medical problems.
They said that antacids "dry up the river, but doesn't repair the dam".
Often times when people come off of antacids their issues come back with vengeance.
This book teaches the how the GI tract works and gives people the tools to treat the problem.
One of the steps in treating the problem is getting a proper diagnosis, eliminate food allergies/sensitivities and toxins, and take the proper supplements.
Proper diagnosis is critical.
I was shocked to learn that when most people go to the doctor complaining of heartburn, indigestion, reflux, or GERD, many doctors readily write them a prescription for an antacid instead of running a test to see if their stomach acid levels are truly high.
I conducted my own small test of this theory and asked several people who regularly take over the counter or prescription antacids if their doctors tested their stomach acid levels.
Their answers completely backed up the doctors' claims...
none of them had been tested.
I was speechless.
Low stomach acids causes poor nutrient absorption and bacterial overgrowth and can lead to other problems.
The book covers other diseases and problems that can occur from poor nutrient absorption such as: leg cramps, rheumatoid arthritis, childhood asthma, type 1 diabetes, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, depression, cancer, and graying of the skin.
Is this overwhelming and depressing news to you? Well, take heart.
The Drs.
give step-by-step instructions with proper dosage of supplements that will help bring your stomach acidity to its normal levels.
These include eliminating things that inhibit enzymes that produce stomach acid- fluoride and chlorine.
They also talk about foods and substances to avoid such as nicotine, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and milk.
Some of the supplements they discuss are HCL and pepsin.
This book is a worthy read.
There is hope for a cure to the pain and discomfort you experience from heartburn, reflux, indigestion, or GERD.
