I think you pretty well covered it Suzi. Course the best solution is to

cure the problem and not just bandaid it. But it is his choice. All the

above suggestions are top notch. But like Suzi mentioned, as we don't

know what his diet consists of, well any or all of this may work for a

while or it may work for a long time. Depends on him.

Celeste correctly pointed out that the stomach does not produce

alkalai for digestion. Acidic stomach contents are neutralised in the

duodenum but the slurry doesn't stay alkaline for long as it travels

down the upper intestine.

Enzymes are used to digest both plants and proteins.

Idelle, look up Dr. 's method -- a teaspoon of hot

powdered cayenne dissolved in a glass of cool water and gulped down

three times a day. In my experience this has actually worked

overnight, even though I had said it might take two days. Cayenne

gets tissues healing very quickly.
