Most people have some form of digestive malfunction. Unfortunately, most people assume their digestive problems are not important. S/he usually things, “I just have heartburn,” or “It’s too bad I was born into a family who’s always constipated,” or “Certain foods always give me gas.” Digestive disturbances should not be ignored in the early stages when they are the easiest to correct, because they can lead to more serious problems. Many people who develop a burning in the pit of the stomach take antacids to “neutralize the excess acid.” This approach accepts digestive failure as normal. If a particular food bothers you, it may be your digestive system that is malfunctioning.

Different forms of digestive disturbances (such as burning and gas, with an associated bloated feeling) have specific correlations with what is wrong in the digestive system, and with what can ultimately develop. Burning in the stomach region, “heartburn,” usually indicates either too much or not enough hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is necessary for digestion, but the concentration of acid must be correct for normal function. A too high concentration can cause ulcers. A very similar burning sensation in the stomach area can be caused by too little hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is necessary for protein digestion, calcium metabolism, and other factors. If protein is not properly digested, the body suffers from not having the basic building blocks necessary to make new tissues and chemicals. The body will age more rapidly and function poorly in many aspects.

Hydrochloric acid production is regulated by the nervous system. Too much or too little acid indicates that the mechanism controlling acid production is out of balance and should be returned to normal by a doctor trained in correcting the body’s nervous system.

Sometimes the burning sensation which devleope in the upper portion of the digestive system is the result of a hiatal hernia., which can develo when the diaphragm does not function properly. There is an opening int he diaphragm through which esophagus goes to join the stomach. if this opening enlarges, a small portion ot the stomach can protrude into the chest cage. Acid is not held in the stomach, it is allowed to pass into the esophagus, thus causing a sever burning pain around the chest as well as many other symptoms.

Applied Kinesiology evaluation and treatment have bee very successful in correcting hiatal hernias because of the ability to improve muscular funciton. the diaphragm is a muscle, and like any other muscle can be returned to mornal by corecing the energy patterns.
