Heidelberg pH-capsule Testing

There are several reasons we feel this test

is so important.

Strong digestion for health
A person needs to have a strong acid making

capacity to start the digestive process.  If this

step fails, the rest of the digestive process will

not recover.  Food will travel through the

system, never fully releasing vital nutrients and

causing inflammation and immune issues.  This

 may lead to a variety of illnesses.

Acid blockers
In the medical community, patients at times are treated with acid blockers/H2 inhibitors on the pretext that they have too much acid.  This is often not the case.  Once on these medicines, digestion itself is inhibited, leading to reduced absorption and possible chronic illnesses. 
Get clarity about your stomach’s acid levels with the Heidelberg test.

HIV/AIDS
It is becoming evident that an HIV/AIDS patient’s stomach acid capacity can become compromised over time.  Working to maintain good digestion can help increase health and vitality.  It is important to get tested and treated.

Absorption of medicines
The medicines and supplements we take are broken down in the digestive system for us to absorb.  If the correct pH isn’t encountered during digestion, then the medicine will not be fully absorbed.  Some drug companies utilize the Heidelberg test to examine their drugs absorption. 

Treatment options
Last, for treating the digestion, the information from this simple test is important in guiding treatment options.

The Test

The patient swallows a capsule (vitamin size) that is tethered. Once in the stomach, the patient drinks a bicarbonate solution to raise stomach pH.  The capsule transmits the pH through radio frequency.  The bicarbonate challenge is performed several times and may take approximately
2 hours.  A 12 hour fast is required.
