5.0 out of 5 stars This book shocked me, January 6, 2005
By G. Shane (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great, great book. I stopped taking my Prevacid before I finished the second chapter. Dr. Wright exposes how the medical profession treats the problem of a little bit of stomach acid in the wrong place (your esophagus) by almost completely neutralizing your stomach acid with powerful drugs. But without stomach acid, you can't absorb nutrients properly, and you can't prevent bacteria growth in your stomach! Thank God I found this book, or I would have taken those pills forever, and my symptoms weren't even that bad. I needed to change a few eating habits, not get rid of stomach acid forever. I was honestly taken aback that doctors could be so ignorant of the importance of stomach acid for your health, and so willing to casually prescribe a powerful (and profitable) pill to simply make the symptoms go away without treating the cause.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indigestion is most often caused by too little acid!, July 5, 2002
By A Customer
Hard to believe, but true - at least in my particular case and, in the authors' opinion, about 90% presenting with indigestion.
After being warned by a pediatrician about the high incidence of stomach cancer among patients taking acid suppressors, I scoured the health food stores and web looking for alternative therapies until finally finding Dr. Wright's & Lenard's book.
They explained in detail how the stomach and, by extension, the whole body, are severely compromised by low stomach acid. The doctors expose the drug companies - who have known since the 1800s that the symptoms of low stomach acid mimic and are much more common than those attributed to too much acid - for the greedy pushers that they are.
The doctors warn of an impending stomach cancer epidemic and other related health problems if the drugs that are currently dispensed like candy (and are amazingly available over the counter) continue unfettered.
In my own personal experience, I have been under treatment for GERD and heartburn for over 10 years with typical emphasis on acid reduction, e.g., Prilosec, Nexium, and a lot of Rolaids. I was off drugs the same day I received this book and feel much better by taking over-the-counter supplemental acid and pepsin.
No doubt the drug companies will attack the truth here. There is a lot of money to be made by selling expensive products that at once reduce and yet sustain the indigestion symptoms daily until the patient eventually dies.
This information is a lot like that of Australian medical researcher Dr. Barry Marshall, the man who was ridiculed but later vindicated for discovering that the cause of many ulcers is a helicobacter pylori bacterial infection. While initially controversial, this book will hopefully similarly end up changing the dependence on dangerous acid-reducing drugs and save lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars knowledge is only powerful when put into action !!!!, December 7, 2005
This book is highly informative. It describes digestion/ stomach acid process, ideal acid level(s), numerous disorders / symptoms of too low of stomach acid, and why ACID BLOCKERS are actually TOXIC / DANGEROUS (like Prilosec / Tums) to ingest regularly or indefinitely.
This book also describes how you (the reader) can remedy most of the disorders naturally which are associated with low stomach acid, and if not what tests to take, what to ask your doctor or gastroenterologist, and where / whom to contact for referral.
Some disorders covered are: Heartburn, Reflux, GERD, Pernicious anemia , Asthma, Rheumatoid arthritis, Depression, Acne rosacea, Celiac disease, Diabetes I, Graves' disease, Lupus, Osteoporosis, Multiple sclerosis, Macular degeneration, plus many more.
This book is valuable to the individual that wants answers to UNRESOLVED personal digestive health questions and / or related symptoms or wants to be independent of the OVER-PRICED pharmaceutical (toxic) legal drugs which seem create additional health problems and require more drugs, which in turn creates an endless money pit for the individual and BIG profits for the drug companies.
