PS ....
The Australian specialist Barry Marshall .... who proved that HPlori was the direct cause of stomuch ulcers ... had loads of opposition from the medical profession and eventually infected himself to prove his theory and then cured himself with meds. Ant acids are a billion dollar industry ... hence the reluctance of the medical profession to co-operate with his discovery .... however these days they are far more agreeable about it all and many docs will suggest this could be the cause and will send the patiant for tests .... I have his video which was on SABC in SA and I taped it .... VERY interesting .... the most reliable test is the breath test.
