I honestly can't answer your question. There could be a number of factors to contribute to those conditions. My mom has acid reflux and she's 65, has had it probably for about 15 years now. She takes Zentac. It definitely does the job. But since she cut out coffee she tells me she doesn't experience it as much. She now drinks herbal tea's. I believe that, and a many doctors outside of western medicine or at least doctors who believe in alternative medicine, say that all ailments of the body is caused by acidosis. High acidity levels in the blood. Not to be confused with alkaline, which is the ideal condition. Homeostasis, is what the body is ideally trying to maintain. The ideal ph level in ones blood should be between 7.0-7.4 respectively. Most are way off the scale leaning towards acidosis. If there is a higher then "normal" alkaline level in the blood the body's natural abilities will adjust this to bring it down to equilibrium. When the opposite occurs...., the body cannot reduce the acidosis, so other measures must be considered to bring things back to homeostasis. This acidosis condition, over extended period of time, does mess up the bodily functions considerably. Each cell of our body is considered to have its own life force. I guess intelligence for a better use of word. So if our very transport system (the blood) is highly acidic. Movement is sluggish and cells are not nourished properly for maintenance and GOD only knows what else it is suppose to do. Hemoglobin is the element which is responsible for picking up the 02 in the body and using the blood to transport it to cells. When we are acidic, this process doesn't work to well. From what I have learned. Prolonged neglect, means cells become starved of 02 and nutrients it requires for normal cell function. ( as I understand it being ) This is why foods with high concentration of chlorophyll is recommended, because is very similar to hemoglobin. It has similar properties for transporting 02. The hemoglobin in the body plus chlorophyll, the more 02 can be delivered reaching the cells affectively. Making conditions for the body more ideal. Ok I'm ranting now. So I'll stop.
Thanks for replying. Ernie -----Original Message----- So -- is that why heartburn and acid reflux are so common in aging adults?
