Well, 5 ppm of CS could only correct about 5 ppm of acid (yeh I know, I
should be working in moles, but at any rate it is not much), which would
not be expected to accomplish anything.

Indeed, I do the same with the same results.  But I have read that most
heartburn is caused by too little HCl, not too much, and it becomes a
breeding ground for pathogens.  The CS probably kills the pathogens, at
least that is what I have thought.
