From: recent posts - blip.tv (beta) Add A Tag Ulcers, Heartburn, Acid Reflux, and Gastrointestinal problems are all definitely caused by too much acid penetrating the system. However, they are NOT caused by too much acid being produced. Our bodies always produce the exact amount it needs to digest food. Rather, the problem these sufferers are having is that the Mucin lining that coats the entire digestive tract is deficient. As a result of this decrease in Mucin, more acid seeps into the system, which is what causes pain. Currently, all of the medications used to treat these issues focus on blocking the production of acid. Consequently, by blocking this necessary flow of acid, the body is unable to digest food properly leading to the prevention of vital nutrients being absorbed into the body. Therefore, a person taking these acid-blocking medications suffer from many negative side effects, including malnutrition, brittle bones, immune deficiency and heart problems. The long-term effects of taking these medications can even be life threatening. The solution is clear. The body needs help in producing more Mucin. By doing this, the body returns to its natural balance. This natural balance means a normal level of Mucin so a person no longer feels pain, and a normal level of acid, which is essential for a healthy body. The result of adding Mucin instead of blocking acid provides relief within minutes, without causing any negative side effects.
