Irish, Native Americans especially at-risk.

Low stomach acid can hit many people, but Irish/Welsh/Scots and Native Americans have this particular tendency to low stomach acid. With low stomach acid you can't break out vital, calming minerals, and you will leave proteins undigested. Undigested protein forms ammonia, and high blood ammonia levels will make a person tend to "recycle" their thoughts, get stuck in ruts, and in a worst case situation, keep repeating themselves. This high blood ammonia from undigested protein can be resolved on two ends. Take digestive enzymes, or even Hydrochloric Acid supplements, during a meal to perk up digestion.

Two things can lower blood ammonia. Water, which dilutes the blood ammonia literally, and B-6, which neutralizes blood ammonia. Take small doses of B-6, no more than 50-100 mg. daily, as high doses can damage nerves. This offers great heart protection as high blood ammonia can poison tissue like the heart muscle, and can aggravate things like prostate or other problems.

Digestion can be compromised by Candida from Antibiotic use. See my CureZone essay, "You're Nuts Because of Your Guts." Mid-brain chemicals are principally made in the Gastro-Intestinal/G.I. tract. Candida snatches calming Magnesium and creates "Leaky Gut" by rooting through the wall of the intestines. And Candida makes you crave sugar. When cheap Sugar was introduced to Europe by the Dutch, the Jews coined the term "meshuginah" meaning "sugar nuts." The book "Sugar Blues" discusses this. And to come full circle, Irish and Native Americans are also generally highly Sugar sensitive.

So be calm and systematic. Cut back the brain buzz with the Foundation of Human Understanding's Observation Meditation, available as a free download or handier audio for a donation. Please realize that there are simple but long-term strategies to rebuild one's well-being so please have patience with yourself.

May the Most High grant us miracles of healing of body, mind and soul. AMEN
