Why Stomach Acid Is Good for You

Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux and GERD

De: Jonathan V. Wright MD, Lane Lenard PhD

Narrado por: Matthew Boston

This revolutionary book unleashes a brilliant new plan for permanently curing heartburn by relieving the most common cause of the problem: insufficient stomach-acid secretion. The fact is that, contrary to popular belief, heartburn is almost always associated with too little stomach acid, not too much.

As explained in this book, the current medical practice of reducing stomach acid - when stomach-acid secretion is already impaired - is a "band-aid" approach that cannot cure the disorder but only temporarily suppresses its symptoms. This quick fix may come at a long-term cost to our health that is being ignored by the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, and the thousands of physicians who prescribe powerful acid-suppressing drugs like Prilosec, Prevacid, Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid, and others.

Dr. Wright strongly urges us to avoid using these synthetic chemicals. Instead, he recommends a comprehensive program that involves restoring the stomach to its normal, healthy state by replacing what is missing by taking safe, inexpensive stomach-acid supplements and other natural treatments.

LIFE CHANGING

You must listen to this book - HCL supplements have changed my life, my allergic reactions, my bloating, sleep, anxiety and so much more !

great info

loved what Dr Wright shared. More people need to understand high stomach acid is not the culprit in most cases.

My mind is blown… A must read for health focused people.

Read this book! This is an absolute must read for all physicians full stop. Hypochlorhydria is something physicians these days just aren’t being taught to discover, and without proper stomach acid levels (too low), you simply cannot digest and absorb the proper nutrition you need which causes a cascade of metabolic and neurological malfunction etc. Wow! Big eye opener!!! The cure can easily include inexpensive supplements, a proper diet, and time. Next…

My main contention with this book is that the author spends almost no time on the actual diet needed to reverse this condition. The information is shared tangentially through the course of the discussion but is never made part of the discussed solution. This is a negative. He makes it clear diet is the main culprit for the onset of hypochlorhydria, while also explaining how modern over-the-counter and prescribed pharmaceuticals exacerbate the issue. However, he does not take the time to show where in our diets we err. Again, he does tangentially, but not directly. It would have been a perfect ending to the book to include an example of an ideal diet for healing for both meat eating and vegetarian/vegan individuals. However, he does provide guidance on how to heal yourself with basic, over the counter supplements. So that’s positive. Just know that vegetarianism/veganism is a big culprit in hypochlorhydria onset due to how it affects our stomach acids. Fascinating. It simply is not the right sustained diet for humans and should only be used temporarily or with an awareness of the problems it will create for the human body. Explanation in the book, although he does not discourage these diets.

Overall excellent review of the literature and a much needed clarification of where modern medicine not only purposefully gets it wrong, but how people are getting sicker and sicker following modern medicines advice on how to “manage” symptoms rather than “curing” them; and by manage, I mean deliberately making matters worse.

Read this book!

Great book

I cured my psoriasis and other malaise with this treatment.
After I was cured, I did a search to try to figure out what doctor is prescribing this therapy. I found this book. It was excellent and explained why those pills had cured my psoriasis. The general populace are not going to buy this book unless it receives a flashier cover. There’s so much to be gained from what’s in this book. Please put some effort into giving it a new wrapping. This will save/extend lives.

Great listen!

One of the most educational books I’ve listened to in a while! Makes everything about digestion make so much sense.

love this book

I was introduced to taking hydrochloric acid several years ago by my naturopathic doctor, I took it for a while but didn't really know why I was taking it, So eventually I slacked off. this book drives home and answers all of my why questions. this book is exceptional and I must read for any American or person with gut issues, which is pretty much all of us.

Well worthy of listening!

excellent book, especially for open minded nutritionist, dietitians and health care providers. Digestion is essential for health...
