If you?re asking how heartburn feels you obviously have never experienced it.

Imagine nearly the most corrosive substance know to man, hydrochloric acid (HCL) splashing up into your sensitive mouth area, again and again and again.

Why does this happen?

Besides the fact that we eat too many processed foods, Americans have been lied to by antacid manufacturers. These so-called antacids actually produce what?s called a stomach acid rebound affect.

You see, the layers of your stomach are very complex and don?t have any problem holding down a bubbling cauldron of caustic acid so powerful it will ?etch? a glass window.

All this volcanic, blistering nasty stomach acid is kept down below by muscular valve called the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). Now I see two schools of thought which describe exactly how the stomach acid gurgles its way past this esophageal flap.

One idea claims that the stomach acid over powers it, weakens it and allows the forbidden elixir of brimstone and digestive acids to eat their way up into your more sensitive oral cavities.

The other more feasible explanation of how the bubbling curd works its way upward into your mouth, nose and middle ears is because the undigested stomach contents are bulging and piling upward forcing the flap to compromise its integrity.

You see, in actuality most people have difficulty properly digesting food when they get older because they suffer from mineral and nutrient deficiencies. These nutritional deficits are caused from eating a lot of enzyme-barren foods, forcing the pancreas to make enzymes that are usually hidden within raw fruits and vegetables. This also taxes the bile producing gall bladder of important minerals necessary to make stomach acids.

So now here we are, gut full of food eaten days ago, maybe longer, just slowly fermenting like a cow?s belly, simply because there?s no more stomach acid or enzymes left to break it all down faster.

This bulk, presses up ward causing gas, heartburn and acid indigestion, cramps, flatulence and the rest of it. But what?s bad is the body is working hard to produce a much needed ?mega burst? of gastric acid and when it lets it go, it has nowhere to go but up, because your stomach is already stuffed to the brim.

In this case ?the brim? is referring to the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES).

Now use your imagination. What?s going to happen is noxious stomach acid, from your guts HCL surge, is going to shoot straight up where it should never be. The deep burning sensation is your flesh being etched, blistered and chemically peeled away; the rancid disturbing taste is horribly indescribable.

Over time you?ll experience gum disease, loss of tooth enamel and permanent ?non-kissable? breath. In fact your breath may get so bad no one will want to even talk with you without a ten foot pole to keep a safe distance.

I haven?t even touched on the damage the gastric fumes and stomach acid particles have on your lungs.

This acid reflux situation is so serious it can end up mutating your throat?s tender lining into cancerous leather capable of handling large gulps of hydrochloric and sulfur acids.

Once your throat cells have transformed to literally become more like the stomach lining your Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is likely to progress into throat cancer . . . not a good situation and I don?t want to even imagine what that feels like.

You?ve tried everything they told you to and your heart burn just won?t go away.

There is a solution, but first you have to agree to stop taking the blame. Sure, ultimately we are all responsible for our own health in the end. You really need to be your own authority of these matters, especially when it comes to heartburn.

But your acid reflux suffering is being prolonged by false advertising, incorrect medical diagnosis and deceptive products that only make acid reflux worse.

Did you know the direct-to-consumer advertising you?re exposed to is illegal in every country but the US and New Zeeland?

Why?

Because real health issues are being played down and disease symptoms are being played up, just to get you to ask your doctor to sell you the latest drug or to get you to ignore a serious health condition.

Other countries see through their game and refuse to allow corporations to manipulate the masses with the unethical use of ?the power of negative autosuggestion.?

Just the word ?heartburn? plays down the seriousness of the underlying health problem. Everyone just thinks popping an antacid will get you over it. Well the fact is you?re just treating a symptom by popping that candy elixir, which means you?re ignoring the root cause.

That?s why scientists estimate at least 15,000,000 million Americans suffer from acid reflux diseases, because no one?s acid reflux disease ever gets cured here.

Obviously something is wrong with this picture. If antacids worked why are so many people developing an ?acid reflux disease??

That term sounds a lot worse than having a simple case of ?heartburn?, doesn?t it?

Your heartburn isn?t just a ?food hang over.? There?s something much more serious going on here.

Direct-to-Consumer advertising is a multi-billion dollar investment. No one spends anywhere close to the amount of money drug companies in America do.

Many years ago Swedish researchers proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the antacids where less than effective, in fact it?s clear that antacids cause acid rebound.

Acid rebound is like heartburn on steroids.

That?s right these drugs just delay people from addressing the root cause of acid indigestion. Drug companies are making themselves a fortune by adding more customers, through deceptive means.

Here are some other things you can do to address the cause of acid reflux diseases:

Don?t eat so many processed foods, they only aggravate your acid reflux problem. The most common irritants are caffeine, alcohol, pasteurized milk dairy products, fried and high-fat foods, milk chocolate, blanched, pasteurized or oiled nuts, some tomato products and sugary juices.

Here are some more self-health care tips:

* Don?t eat 3 hours before lying down

* Don’t smoke cigarettes

* Eat smaller, more frequent meals.

* Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.

* Lose 10 pounds

* Sleep with the head of your bed elevated

* Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other similar analgesic medications; they can make acid reflux worse.

* eat more magnesium rich foods

* Avoid antacids that contain aluminum if you must take any

* Drink water only between your meals

If you take an antacid for longer than 3 weeks, check with your doctor before continuing. Long-term use of antacids can cause diarrhea, a change in the way the body processes calcium and a buildup of magnesium in the body, among other health risks.

You?re reading this report most likely because you have recurring acid reflux, heartburn or some stomach acid problem and you?ve tried everything the drug store manager or doctor recommended . . . and now you?re ready for a better way.

You know it just has to get better than this and it does . . . read on!

Of course there?s a better way, in fact there?s a proven way to reverse stomach acid problems and improve your health all at the same time. It?s really ?SAD? how the Standard American Diet has everyone feeling like they have to depend on Over-The-Counter (OTC) antacids and stomach acid blocking prescriptions, isn?t it?

Especially when common sense tells you that your health shouldn?t suffer just because you like to eat.

Let me share with you some helpful information to help you return to your natural healing pathway. Because that?s what eating is meant to be, an occasion to revitalize, rejuvenate and repair yourself from the cellular level up . . . the best diet should be an abundant feast celebrating the miracle of health.

Stomach acid has been faithfully breaking down food into nutritional molecules since the dawn of time, so why all the stomach acid anxiety these days?

Part of the problem is doctors generally don?t receive more than 3 hours of nutritional studies in most leading universities and medical institutions, because the schools are funded by ?special interest? groups.

These special interests do not have your best health interest at heart.

There?s no denying that antacids and other stomach acid drugs fail for millions of heartburn, acid reflux and upset stomach acid sufferers every day after indigestive day.

The Greek ?Father of medicine,? Hippocrates, proclaimed from the rooftops of the ancient world the ?Food is medicine!?

So what is the best diet to balance healthy stomach acid levels?

Today Americans suffer from stomach acid imbalances because they are not taught to believe in their body?s own ?built-in intelligence.?

You can call it the immune system, or know it as the vast matrix of 60 TRILLION cell membranes singing in perfect harmony you call your body, or you could accept the proven science of Intelligent Design.

Whatever you want to call it, it?s real and it all depends on the best whole food diet.

There?s only one little catch-as you already know, there?s always a catch. You simply need to support your built-in intelligence by thinking and behaving the right way . . . that means with ?your? best interest at heart.

Yes, it is that simple, yet great truths always are. You need to embrace a ?fearless approach? to wellness and longevity, which starts by how you decide to live, and what is living without knowing the best whole food diet?

The Standard American Diet (SAD) has failed us as much as Big Pharma has, because bad diet and poor lifestyle go hand and hand with drugs, surgery and other barbaric, out-dated medical practices that fail us all.

Here?s a list of foods that treat stomach acid imbalances by supporting a healthy stomach acid pH level:

? Apples (with skin on)

? Bananas ( skin off)

? Lemon water

? Baked potatoes

? Broccoli

? Cabbage

? Carrots

? Green beans

? Peas

? Grass fed meats

? Egg whites

? Wild caught fish

? Raw goat cheese

? Fermented soy products

? Sprouted grain breads

? Mineral water

? Vinaigrette salad (no iceberg lettuce)

Keep in mind steamed vegetables or raw whole food is the best diet. Providing more living minerals, vitamins and enzymes are critical for healthy stomach acid balance.

Add to this diverse diet of healthy foods a mild activity level, like walking and learn to eat your best food groups separately and those stomach acid problems will haunt you no more.

It?s estimated more than 6 million people in the US habitually take antacids.

The fear is that these antacids cause more harm than good, internally bleeding is only one of the adverse effects of taking these stomach acid products.

Generally, most people have the misunderstanding that these anti-stomach-acid gimmicks somehow protect the stomach. Instead they can cause an extreme amount of harm.

Researchers of Stanford University revealed those people eating antacids and H2-blockers actually experienced more than DOUBLE the serious gastrointestinal problems than people who took plain sugar pills (placebo).

The Great Antacid Cover-Up

Frankly, the health issue is also an ethics issue simply because millions of people are treating symptoms of acid indigestive problems in an attempt to cover them up, instead of seeking effective treatments.

This misleading advertising and selling of over-the-counter antacids encourages people with stomach acid problems to delay addressing the root cause until the digestive issues worsen.

Another medical concern is that another study from the Oklahoma college of Medicine reported most antacid customers suffer from other, often worse medical conditions. Gastroenterologists point out that blocking or neutralizing digestive acid production masks ?alarm symptoms.?

A well known Swedish study proved more than twenty years ago that antacids trigger acid rebound and increase risk of ulcers and other infections from causing dangerous pH imbalance of beneficial micro-organisms in the intestinal tract.

So according to the results, or ?lack of results,? ?millions of people are experiencing antacids causing an even higher production of stomach acid and digestive juices, which unfortunately can exhaust the stomach acid making cells (parietal cells) ultimately creating a clinically chronic stomach acid deficiency.

Bottom line is if you sincerely desire to prevent acid indigestion, completely avoid taking over-the-counter antacids all together.

The Bone Chilling Truth About Antacids

Another shocking deception is that countless people suffering from arthritis have been told to eat antacids to get their calcium for bone growth. Sadly, there isn?t a single evidence-based study that shows the calcium contained in these harmful antacids can even be absorbed in the body.

The correct form of calcium is of the utmost importance for preventing symptoms of osteoporosis. Instead nearly a hundred million people a year who suffer from osteoarthritis symptoms are triggering their own gastrointestinal disorders from munching on these convenient antacid candies.

Most antacids contain mainly calcium carbonate, which because the body can?t absorb it and has no use for limestone molecules, it ends up forming life threatening kidney stones and other health problems

This is one more outrageous example of the shear irresponsibility of drug companies to provide real help for people in need. It appears quite clear that the manufacturers of antacid products have designed these products to deceive consumers into eating massive amounts of potentially harmful products.

It?s common knowledge among leading physicians that people who suffer from symptoms of osteoporosis usually suffer from a lack of stomach acid production to begin with. In fact, their osteoporosis symptoms are directly related to the fact that they don?t absorb calcium well in the first place, because they need stomach acid to help absorb dietary calcium.

The Bucket List Goes on

Other dangers are toxic metals found in antacids. Toxic heavy metals like aluminum are absorbed causing nerve damage and accumulating in brain cells. Aluminum-containing antacids can actually cause osteoporosis and are especially risky for post-menopausal women.

This need not be . . . learning about self health options, natural remedies and other Complementary Alternative Medicines (CAM) will put you back on the healing pathway.
