Ulcer's - A Natural ApproachEver wonder why the acid in your stomach is strong enough to breakdown food, yet it doesn't burn a hole through the stomach wall itself? The reason is that there are protective traits of your digestive organs that are truly remarkable. Mucoprotective substances provide a protective lining, that when harsh stomach acids come in contact with the stomach walls and intestinal linings, secretions are given off to neutralize the acids. People with ulcers have a loss of the protective lining, allowing the acids to burn a hole, or Ulcer. Burns of the stomach lining are called Gastric Ulcers and burns within the initial section of the small intestine are called Duodenal Ulcers both forms are regarded as Peptic Ulcers. Current medical treatment focuses on only one part of the equation: The level of stomach acids. One step is to take antacids to counter the level of acid within the stomach. Another step is the use of drugs, which block the production of acid within the stomach. H2-receptor drugs such as Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid and Axid were created. These drugs bring relief but disrupt the body's natural digestive process. Impaired digestion gives rise to nutrient deficiencies. Diarrhea and constipation, as is nausea, are common with the use of the H@ receptor drugs. Physiological effects of these drugs also include breast enlargement in men, headache, dizziness, insomnia, depression, osteoporosis, liver damage and impotence. Rather tan deal with the effects of the acid,
the proper approach should be to address the cause of the problem. Misalignments
of the spinal vertebrae at the levels of the nerves going to the
stomach can cause an imbalance of acid production and the amount
of mucous produced by the stomach walls. Alcohol, cigarette
smoking, coffee and food allergies are other causes of ulcers and
should be modified to enhance healing. Aside from improving
the nerve supply to the stomach through Chiropractic adjustments,
taking the natural agent licorice root called deglycrrhizinated licorice,
or DGL has been shown to be very helpful. DGL does not alter
the acid content, it merely improves your body's defense against
the acid and has been shown through independent studies to be more
effective than the current medications available today. Obtain
the DGL in chewable tablet form and chew between two and four 380
milligram tablets 20-40 minutes before meals. The length of
treatment to give an ulcer a chance to heal should be eight to sixteen
weeks, depending on the response. You may check with health
food stores, asking for Enzymatic Therapy (DGL) and Nature's
Herbs (DGL - power) Source: Dr. Whitaker's Guide to Natural Healing, Julian Whitaker, M.D.
