Many of our patients have a problem with heartburn and acid reflux, they usually ask, “Does our stomach have too much acid?” Actually, No. It’s impossible according to the book The Enzyme Factor written by Dr. Shinya, a famous Gastroenterologist dealing with polyps by diet and who works in New York. He treats people with colon cancer not by chemotherapy through radiation and medication, but by diet. He has combined some medication but in majority, his treatment protocols are dietary.
This info came from his patient who has had a high success rate on his colon cancer. It is true that if you suppress the secretion of stomach acid, the symptoms of heartburn will disappear. But this kind of treatment can cause serious damage and put stress on all the other parts of the body. The idea of heartburn, acid reflux and acid indigestion are results of gastric acidity is wrong.
There’s no such thing as too much stomach acid in our body, it is produced because it is necessary to maintain the balance in overall health of the body. By overriding such natural mechanisms of the body by medicine, he believes that it will only end up in shortening one’s life span. Our human body consists of a very intricate system, delicately balanced. The system also functions inside each of approximately 60 trillion cells that make up a human body.
