The Real Cause Of Acid Reflux
The basic, most fundamental truth regarding the vast majority of chronic
health conditions, including acid reflux, is that there is no such thing as a
single cause.
Similar to other health conditions, acid reflux is an environment that is
triggered by several primary and secondary factors and the relationship
between both. There are factors and co-factors that contribute to acid reflux,
and there are causative agents that aggravate an already compromised
heartburn condition.
There are also day-to-day situations, external factors and psychological and
mental factors that directly or indirectly form the environment in which acid
reflux manifests itself in a variety of the common symptoms; among them is
heartburn.
Because every health problem is multidimensional, the solution must be
multidimensional in order to eradicate the problem from the root. This is one of
the reasons why science and conventional medicine fail in treating most
Western inflictions. Instead of treating the body and health condition as one,
as a whole, they tackle the manifestation of the condition or the injured parts
(more on that later).
As with most health disorders, acid reflux is formed with the help of several
genetic tendencies:
1. Over-Production of Acid: Some heartburn sufferers simply
produce abnormal amounts of acid in their body, making their
stomach liquid more acid concentrated and thus can inflict more
damage when it comes into contact with the esophagus.
2. Weak Muscle Tone of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter: The
lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscle contractions are weak
