I wonder if he gave any references as to tests

that he conducted?>

 

The article was in one of those abbreviated

special issues that you get in your mail box

to entice you to to the real thing.

 

I might eventually do that, but I want the

one by Dr David Williams more, and my

finances are limited.

 

Reference to the studies may well be in the

full article.

 

The idea made sense to me because I have seen

acid reflux clear up when people take digestive

enzymes.

And I have seen them helped with structural

body work such as chiropractic or even with

Reflexology.

 

This brings up an interesting question:

 

Who can we believe?

When is a piece of information from what appears

to be a bona fide source worth passing on?

 

The paragraph reads as follows:

______

" Everyone knows that heartburn's caused by

too much acid... "

 

But hold it right there, Just how do they know?

Has anyone actually measured the acidity of your

stomach? For that matter, have you ever heard

of any doctor measuring stomach acidity?

 

Well, Dr Wright does measure it, and he's kept

careful figures on patients who complain of

heartburn and other stomach ailments.

Guess what. Over 90% of them

don't have too much stomach acid, but too little...

And when they take supplements to increase the

acid, the heartburn goes away forever

 

There is a logical explanation, as you'll see

in your etc etc.
