In order for your blood to be thin you need proper acid in the stomach because poor stomach acids means high blood acids and that means thick blood which also means more coumiden. When we eat a big meal and get heartburn or indigestion we run up to store and get something to tame the acids. Almost all these cases is not to much acid but too little. Stomach acid kills bacteria than are ingested, and kills parasites that may be ingested. healthy stomach acid means the food gets broken down for the digestive process to work and when there is not enough acid the food goes on and becomes a feeding ground for candida,and other pathogens and when this goes out of control you get leaky gut and these pathogens and toxic waste enter the blood stream affecting the entire body, possibly these toxins and body waste floating around in the body can even affect the nerves that control the heart beat. Kids never need anti acids. Why? Because they have plenty of stomach acid and the food is digested properly. Taking antiacids most of the time is something that makes the problem worse, not better. Try some HCL after meals and see it anything gets any better. That combined with digestive enzymes can be a big help to a lot of people. Toxic blood is thick blood and thick blood needs lots of coumiden.
