Signs of acid reflux are the classic burping, acid indigestion, heartburn symptoms. It?s nothing new as some of the antacid manufacturers would have you believe on television commercials.

Acid reflux is as old as over-eating. It?s no secret acid reflux is caused from indulging, and especially from indulging in certain greasy foods, like fried chicken.

Over time occasional indigestion becomes chronic indigestion and that?s when acid reflux starts to rear its head more often.

If you feel tired after you eat, if you eat a lot before bedtime and have trouble sleeping, only to wake up tired and hungry again, you are a candidate for acid reflux. The signs of acid reflux are obviously, fatigue, burping and a feeling of being ?full.?

Actually, I should say a feeling of being very full, you know what I mean, ?Uncomfortably full.?

Many people are surprised to find out manufacturers of antacid products and acid reflux gimmicks have been painting a false image of what acid reflux really is.

More often than not, acid reflux is a result of acid indigestion instigated by a consistent lack of stomach acid.

Yes, that?s correct; a stomach acid deficiency is the most common cause of the signs of acid reflux.

The signs of acid reflux give it away. The reason you feel full, tired and burp a lot, is because there happens to be more undigested food than your digestive system can handle. Naturally this would trigger your stomach to make more digestive acids and digest the extra food. Except for the sad fact that usually because there is undigested food from the previous meals (some more than a day old), the acid producing cells are already bled dry and haven?t any stomach acid left to offer.

This happens because the pancreas is over worked as well as the liver and gall bladder from having to do this time and time again, year after year. That?s why you?re tired and miserable. Acid reflux is a sign that food is slowing down your body instead of giving it energy.

The most obvious sign that acid reflux is from a stomach acid deficiency would be if that stuffy fullness stays feeling full for extended periods of time.

Another sign of acid reflux is a burning sensation that accompanies the burping and acid indigestion. At this point it may not matter what you eat, because nothing is being digested properly.

This is a sign that you need to add enzymes, ocean minerals and probiotics to your diet fast, which are the key building blocks of stomach acid.

Your pancreas usually supplies enzymes to break your food down. The problem is after years of eating cooked and processed foods that no longer have enzymes and important nutrition in them, the pancreas has to make them. This is a catch 22 situation because without enzymes already in your food, your pancreatic cells will lack the minerals and nutrients to manufacture more enzymes.

Therefore acid reflux can be a sign your pancreas and other parts are over taxed and have nothing left to offer you. Once this happens acid reflux is an inevitable sign as the stomach sporadically creates random bursts of bile salts and stomach acid in a desperate attempt to dissolve all the food literally rotting in your gut.

One more sign of acid reflux is bad breath from all the rancid food rotting away inside your intestines. This sign is a sign you may have many signs of acid reflux and ?. . . they are all bad signs, signs you?ve ignored the root cause of acid reflux for far too long.

I know you?ve heard all there is to say about stress and hair loss and it?s no laughing matter, but there?s more going on than just emotional stress when you?re losing your hair and at the same time are suffering from acid reflux.

First, you?re most likely NOT having heartburn or indigestion over the loss of your hair or vice versa.

Worrying about one is not triggering the other and worrying won?t help them go away either.

There is still the question of whether, ?acid reflux cause hair loss, or can hair loss cause acid reflux??

It?s almost like the old chicken and the egg paradox, which one came first?

There are many variables including toxic exposure, dietary habits and genetic predisposition.

Actually we can rule out genetic predisposition because scientists have discovered that you can affect your genetic switch board by changing how and what you eat. If you have been exposed to toxins (Like pharmaceuticals) that are causing your acid indigestion, your hair loss may be the least of your health concerns.

As you may already know, everything to do with your health is somehow interconnected with your environment, both internally and externally.

By peaking at the ?big picture? we have a better opportunity of grasping a more holistic or dare I say holographic, perspective.

The closer you look the more important it is to try and see things from your cell?s point of view.? The truth is your cells literally have perceptive capabilities. Each cell has organelles that represent tiny functional copies of every organ you have in your body.

You are created from the constant communication efforts of more than 50,000,000 cells and when communication breaks down the signs of imbalance can be detected.

Heartburn and hair loss can definitely be considered signs of an imbalance. Are they connected? Technically yes, as I?ve pointed out, everything ultimately is.

Let?s talk heartburn for a moment.

Most people couldn?t be more misinformed about heartburn and acid reflux. The myth that everyone who suffers from heartburn symptoms has too much stomach acid is simply untrue.

When you look at the root cause of heartburn you?ll see that a stomach acid deficiency creates nearly the same heartburn symptoms as an over production of stomach acid will.

It only ?feels? like an over production of stomach acid because of the body is making sudden spurts of gastric acid, instead of making a steady supply.

Now imagine IF you suffer from lack of stomach acid that this deficiency has been going on for some time now and therefore may have caused some other issues as a result; such as not digesting food or absorbing nutrients and oxygen into your cells.

Now looking closer at hair loss we will also discover that these same minerals, oxygen and nutrients are vital for normal hair follicle health.

In fact a chronic mineral deficiency will prevent any key nutrients from entering your cells eventually stopping your cells from growing, reproducing and healing their selves properly.

So keep in mind that your thyroid, your follicles, your stomach acid and every metabolic system you have is dependent upon electrons that are released from water when special minerals are present.

Simply put, your impressive communication ?Inner-Net? between all your cells is failing because there are not enough electrons flowing around. Electrons created by trace minerals and water.

So that?s why hair follicles are not functioning properly, because without these minerals, there is less oxygen. The same goes for your heartburn issues, without the oxygen and nutritional energy supplied by trace minerals your cells cannot make gastric acid, enzymes or proteins needed to maintain a healthy digestive environment.

Try RAW sea minerals from unprocessed salt or coral mineral sachets- simply add water and drink between meals. They will hydrate and alkalize your cells to bring up oxygen levels. Stable oxygen allows the detoxification process to take place, which you hair follicles and other cells desperately need.

Imagine having an aquarium and never changing the water- that?s what your stomach acid and hair cells are going through without having access to charged minerals and water.

So address the root cause of your heartburn and you?ll stop seeing so much hair loss.
