It Is normally very difficult for the body to eliminate. If the body is healthy and working properly, it should produce all of the necessary enzymes in sufficient quantities to ensure proper digestion. However, many people do not produce enough of these enzymes. As a result, they often get the common symptoms of indigestion, such as gas, bloating, heartburn and constipation. Unfortunately, thousands of people take antacids because they have seen the ads on TV that convince them they have too much stomach acid when, in most cases, the reverse is actually true.
Antacids actually slow down or even stop the digestive process and give only temporary relief.
Antacids only postpone the long-term problems that arise from improper digestion. Now also consider the following. In the raising of poultry and beef these animals are pumped full of antibiotics to keep them alive plus other drugs to help them grow. When you eat these meats you are getting an indirect dose of antibiotics. Antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria.
