About this listen
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.

Tried all the medical advice but still hurting from reflux? You're not alone. I was there for 15 years, trusting advice that just didn't help. Medications faded in effect, and the fear of long-term side effects grew. Thankfully, a tip from a friend changed everything for me. In the same way, I hope that the tips in my free digestion challenge—digestionchallenge.com—are what you needed to confirm that you're ready for my three-step plan.

Story
Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments such as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions.

Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is “in their head”. Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real.

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.

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.

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.
