There's a lot of people who have a deficiency of stomach acid that creates all sorts of

issues.

There's a really simple test that you can do to figure out if you potentially don't have

I'm going to show you that.

The test is called Ritalar Gastric Acid Reflex Point Test.

Since your stomach is right up underneath the lower part of the sternum and kind of going

a little bit down below that, what you can do is you take your breastbone, the bottom

of your breastbone where it ends, there's a little piece of cartilage there, and you go

one inch below that, and then you go one inch to the left, and you'll hit your rib cage

right at that point.

That is the location where you press into the rib cage and just see if it's tender.

If it is overly sensitive, it could mean that you have a deficiency of heart of chloric

acid.

There's two other tests.

One is a baking soda test.
