Why Stomach Acid is Good For You - Jonathan Wright MD & Lane Lenard PhD

If the endless stream of TV, print, and online ads for medication to reduce stomach acid is any indication, we are facing an epidemic of excessive stomach acid.

Contrary to what we’ve been led to believe, Drs. Jonathan Wright and Lane Lenard argue that these conditions have little to do with eating and drinking acidic foods and beverages, or lying down too soon after a meal. The biggest factor in indigestion, they say, is not too much stomach acid, but too little.

The authors do an excellent job of addressing a host of conditions that result from too little stomach acid, many of which conventional doctors don’t associate at all with digestion.

Wright and Lenard lay out many strategies for preventing indigestion, none of which require a prescription. 

This book is a must-read for anyone suffering from any type of indigestion as well as medical conditions of unknown etiology. There’s a chance that simply boosting stomach acid can have profound effects upon health.
