Many people think of stomach acid as a bad thing. It is often blamed for symptoms such as heartburn, reflux and general indigestion. Stomach acid blocking drugs are some of the most popular medications used today. This highlights how many people have a problem in this area. The truth is, stomach acid is very important. It performs several vital functions in your body and your health will suffer if you don’t produce enough. The symptoms usually attributed to excess stomach acid, such as heartburn and reflux are usually not caused by too much stomach acid at all. Most people with those symptoms don’t make enough stomach acid. They just have other digestive problems that produce discomfort. Often increasing stomach acid fixes indigestion and improves overall health.

Rhonda is a 35 year old lady who came to me seeking help for her autoimmune conditions. Rhonda has a severe case of lupus.

Our body is full of connective tissue – it is basically the stuff that holds our organs and tissues together. This means lupus can cause a range of different symptoms of varying severity. In Rhonda’s case, the worst symptoms were unbearable fatigue and blisters.
