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.
Many people often find it amusing when they hear they may have worms or other parasites. Yet this problem is very prevalent all over the world. A parasite, by definition lives off of other things. The parasites that infest our bodies not only live off the nutrients in the foods we eat, but they actually live off our tissues. They secrete toxins into our bloodstream that circulate and often cause damage.
