Don’t Burn Holes
in Your Stomach |
| |

intestinal tract. Consider the strongest contact with
the world around you is through your food, processed and absorbed
by your intestine. |
| |
The lining of the
stomach and first part of the small intestine, known as the
duodenum, has a protective barrier lining that keeps the
powerful stomach acids and enzymes from eating into its tissues.

lining break down, making a “sore” or “crater” in the stomach
wall. |

some subsections of our populations, such as the American Indians,
the incidence can be as high as 50% of the people. The cause is
unquestionably the rich American diet, chock-full of fat and
deficient in plant foods. |
