Celery juice is the thing to cure the stomach ..." Nothing else ever could,"
William declares, "80% of women don't produce enough stomach acid."
"Over time, acid production weakens," says William. "Add the stress of everyday, and our ability to make stomach acid burns out. Why is that a problem? "
"Almost one-third of the vitamins and minerals that are essential to life cannot be broken down or absorbed without ample stomach acid," Jonathan Wright, M.D. That being said reduction of essential nutrients speed age-related muscle loss, and cause metabolic slow-downs that lead to weight gain.
90% of the heartburn that everyone complains about is caused by low stomach acid, according to Mayo Clinic researchers this is caused by, the cap between the esopogagus and the stomach is controlled by acid levels fo the stomach; when levels are low, the cap loosens and acid flows into the esophagus. Lastly, low stomach acid allows illness-causing bacteria to flourish. When stomach acid is deficient," Many of these microorganisms multiply," explains Wright. The result of this is low energy, sugar cravings, and weight gain.
Why is celery so special? William credits sodium cluster salts; yet undiscovered trace minerals in celery dial up stomach acid. "There's sodium in other foods, but sodium cluster salts are found only in celery," he says. ..
These cluster salts also fight off unwanted bacteria, Research backs up the GI-healing power of celery:
An Italian study found that flavonoids in celery improve digestion and promote nutrient absorption, and a Japanese study found that flavonoids in the juice kill harmful stomach bacteria.

"And the benefits don't just stop in the gut," says William, who cites clearer skin, sustained energy, better mental clarity and stable moods." Celery juice is also helping people heal from acute and chronic illness, inducting Hashimotis, eczema, constipation, migraines and countless others.
