what is the best natural remedy for indigestion?

Answer 1

DO NOT TAKE THE ANTACIDS! They are very bad for you.
Pepcid, Xantac, the "purple pill," and tums are incredibly bad for you.

Look at the side effects: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); easy or unusual bruising or bleeding; bleeding gums; irregular heartbeat; yellowing of the skin or eyes; or a rash; dizziness; headache; or diarrhea, nausea, or constipation. All these side effects are a result of liver and or kidney being damaged from these drugs!

Sorry, but this question begs the answer above. First of all, heart burn or the word used by the marketing guru's at all the drug companies and your local pharmacy is "acid in digestion."

Both of these terms are used to sell you something that is, first, to buy their drugs that complicate the problem.

To correctly understand the problem, you first have to understand how the body's digestion works. The stomach needs to be acidic to kill germs and break down food. Your digestion of Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc (all minerals essential to feed your body) can only be digested if your stomach is acidic at the time food is there. The Jejunum is the upper part of the duodenum that attaches to the stomach's pyloric sphincter. When the acidic material enters this part of the duodenum, the Calcium & Magnesium compete for absorption through the wall of the Jejunum, but if it is not acidic, no absorption takes place and you can become Calcium & Magnesium deficient. Furthermore, if the material moving down the intestine is not acidic, your intestines will not produce an alkali that neutralizes the pH and you will not absorb many other vitamins and minerals.

Antacids neutralize the stomach acid that causes these problems. The so called heart burn or acid indigestion is from rotting food that is fermenting and producing lactic acid. The reason the food is rotting is because there is not enough stomach acid to cause it to break down. Just the opposite of what these ignorant people are telling you. As you age, your body produces less and less stomach acid. By the time you are 80 years old, you are only producing about 5% of the stomach acid you did when you were 25 - 30 years old. To make matters worse, we eat processed and cooked foods that are devoid of enzymes that help us preserve the stomach acid that remethylates our cells. This shortens our lives about 30 years! We were designed to eat raw, uncooked foods.

There is an answer though. It is simple and inexpensive, unlike the damaging antacid garbage. By taking Betaine HCL and an activator with each meal, you give your body what it needs to breakdown the foods, digest your food so much better, and cause your body to actually utilize the Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and iron it needs as well as the other vitamins and minerals. I also suggest a digest enzyme with each meal.

It's no wonder we have so much osteoporosis and other degenerative disease in the American culture with the way the drug companies spend millions on advertising and making billions on the very thing that is causing people to have to spend more billions on other drugs to try and fix the problems created by the antacids! Amazing. Just look at all the laxatives and drugs being sold because of all the toxic build up from rotting food that is sold due to these antacids. What a racket. And what is the FDA doing about it? Nothing.
Who is the FDA protecting, the manufacturers or our people?

A good quality Betaine HCL and activator can be purchased at: www.healthline.cc

Also, the antacids that are in tablet form contain many ingredients that suppress your immune system and prevent you from absorbing other nutrients. One of those ingredients, and there are many fillers and glues used as well as this one, is magnesium stearate. This is a trans fat and pills contain about 5% of this garbage. That is 5% of the total milligrams labeled!

good luck to you

Answer 2

This is the best indigestion remedy you will ever find....this remedy is what the Aztecs used to cure indigestion.

Okay, first buy no less than 10 seeds of Rivea Corymbosa. Then crush about 7-10 seeds. Mix the seeds with a minimal amount of water. Finally drink. Indigestion will be relieved instantly and wont come for hours on end. This totally works. You can buy these seeds all on the internet. I usually buy about 500 seeds at a time. 500 seeds usually sells for 25 bucks.
