Heartburn Is More Than What It Seems

Here is the official description of… the symptoms. Any one of them or their co-occurance can indicate a variety of ailments. The condition often comes with weakness, too (which can also be caused by statins and a million other things).

---

Previously, I have written several articles on peptic ulcers and inflammatory bowel conditions¹ that have become hundreds of times more common than before the convid injections and the accompanying shedding and other forms of synthesizing proteins in the body. Many intestinal conditions cannot be diagnosed (and the symptoms are usually treated with harmful steroids), so they are usually called “syndromes” by clueless doctors (who, in this case, cannot be blamed much, because the causes cannot be backtracked) in order to sound “scientifically” authoritative.

Heartburn occurs after food or drink enters the body: the first station of the intake is the stomach, where stomach acid is expected to break down much of what comes in. Still, it cannot and MUST NOT be fully separated from the rest of the digestive tract and, for that matter, from the whole body. For the time being, it is, at least in “medical” offices.

Heartburn is supposed to be caused by too much stomach acid. Ironically, it’s sometimes misdiagnosed (what is not?²). At one point, I knew someone, who kept being tested for heart disease until his heart stopped. After being revived, it turned out he had stomach ulcers, and the drastic antibiotic prescribed for H. pylori cured him It must be noted that H. pylori can be found without stomach ulcer and vice versa³, but the antibiotic surely levels the field, because it kills most, if not all bacteria, and the devastated gut flora is forced to reset itself, which gives a chance for the body to regain its bacterial balance.

Heartburn is usually treated with proton PPIs (pump inhibitors stop the production of stomach acid), which even MDs consider the most harmful “medication.”⁴ Yes, this symptomatic “treatment” is considered worse by the medical profession than psychiatric poisons and statins. It’s counter-advised to prescribe for more than a few weeks, and even then it carries the risk of irreversible “side effects,” including, but not limited to the destruction of kidney functions⁵. All this doesn’t stop “doctors” from prescribing PPIs sometimes for years.

When it comes to the causes of heartburn, there are factors that are usually omitted by nutritionists and by official medical sources. Besides directly-harmful elements, quite a few factors mess up metabolism and even forces the body to develop reactions, forming processes that are nearly impossible to stop or eradicate later.

Acetaminophen damages the stomach lining (other OTC meds can damage or destroy the liver). “Baby Aspirin” is often prescribed as a mild blood thinner “to prevent heart attacks and strokes” despite the fact that even official figures suggest that taking it makes little or no difference.

Breakfast cereals contain generous amounts of heavy metals, pesticides, AND insects. The first two harms the whole body, but the chitin from insects cannot be digested and it can also be razor-sharp (doctors invariably refer to the result in the mystifying term of an “allergic reaction”⁶). When examining mass-produced insects for mass consumption, about two thirds of them were infested with parasites, too.

American flour was developed by crossing European flour and prairie grass in the 1930s, and the grass part makes sure that part of it remains indigestible. Also, like so many comestibles, it’s “fortified” with industrial waste from steel production.

The cells in Microwaved food become unrecognizable goo for the body, which confuses the metabolism, causing obesity and whatever else. Artificial sweeteners offer another source for common metabolic disruption⁷.

Processed food has become an expression in which “processed” is nearly inevitable. Even the most innocuous-looking foodstuff can be processed and it can contain unnecessary and/or harmful toxins that are sometimes even advertised on the package as beneficial.

Coffee and tea MUST be organic, because they are lavishly doused with pesticides. Dark roast can come from coffee that turned moldy. Beyond that, both increase stomach acid, so they are better consumed with food.

Booze can be bad as well, especially in large quantities. Carbonation is already acidic, but it does nothing for digestion, so it only adds to stomach acidity. Spiking beer with hard liquor is worse, and the latter is most harmful, when drank without food or extra liquid. Hot-spicy is probably the worst, especially on its own.

Spicy food can be irritating for an already-irritated stomach lining, but capsaicin (the active ingredient in hot pepper) has also been used for pain, and logically, it can also train a healthy stomach to become tougher.

Eating too much can cause an overproduction of stomach acid, especially after eating hard-to-digest food (pork is likely taking the lead before beef).

Clinical diagnoses don’t seem to distinguish too much stomach acid from acid reflux. Acid reflux, as its name suggests, is stomach acid coming up into the esophagus. Logically, the body beyond the stomach is returning the half-digested food to the sender, the stomach, because it would be too much all at once. The stomach is already full, but it “understands” that the rest of the digestive tract needs more time to handle whatever has already been forwarded, but it’s too much for it to take too, so it ejects some of the surplus acid back into the esophagus (vomiting is not out of the question, either).

Taking antacids and the like can also condition the body to overproduce stomach acid; food must be digested, after all. The unnecessary production of stomach acid can also cause pangs of hunger, which often occurs under stress (“binge eating” is a common symptom). As everyone’s metabolism is different even from time to time and from dish to dish, one must devote time and attention to training the digestive system, develop regular eating/drinking habits that the body tolerates, and stick to them.

When it comes to official food recommendations for heartburn, yogurt is on the top of the list, despite its most likely being GMO-fermented (“precision fermentation” is used): https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/the-beast-has-more-tentacles-than. According to WebMD⁸, “Low-fat yogurt is similar to milk in how it can soothe heartburn. Plus yogurt has probiotics (good bacteria) that also help with digestion. So eating a serving of low-fat yogurt may help relieve symptoms of heartburn.” So much about “good bacteria,” but pre- and probiotics are also under suspicion: https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/prebiotics-and-probiotics-as-parts. Doctors recommend a lot of things and pump them into the patient, hoping that the body will sort it out.

Invasive tests and exams can also irritate the digestive tract (and for that matter, spread outherwise-harmless cancerous cells; everyone has cancerous cells, but the body usually takes them out⁹) both from the top and from the bottom, which can further damage already-inflamed interiors. Antacids like sodium bicarbonate (“baking soda”) can alleviate symptoms, but anything that lowers stomach acid can cause dependency, and without such chemicals, heartburn only worsens. At the same time, thos chemicals are not harmless. Sodium bicarbonate, for one, elevates blood pressure and places extra burden on the kidneys. Needless to say, acid blockers (H2) are most likely worse (they cause long-term conditioning), and as I mentioned before, PPIs are the worst.

Ideally, one must find a natural path to balance out stomach acid production and functioning. Eating little, while keeping an eye on the sources, might be the easiest and simplest method. It’s never early to work on prevention. Once the problem becomes chronic, doctors keep tinkering with the symptoms, and they rarely shy away from performing surgery, either. After all, those pesky interns need to accumulate experience in order to graduate and leave the good doctor alone. In the meanwhile, if you read up on the condition, you will find that the compartmentalization of the body is going strong, and doctors must stick to treating symptoms that they cannot even assess properly:

Doctors can’t or aren’t allowed to connect the dots between synthetic and electric toxicity, protein production and maintenance, intestinal problems, pancreatic malfunction, liver morbidity and comorbidities, the lymphatic system, and glandular, neurological, psychological, and hormonal aspects, while all these factors must function in a balanced system in a healthy body in symbiosis with the environment.

6. “Allergy” is an invented “illness,” blaming the patient, while facts suggest something else: https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/the-bermuda-triangle-of-medications.
