Hiatal hernia
Condition- connective_tissue_toxin_saturation: Connective tissue around the stomach becomes saturated with toxins over many years, causing it to stretch non-uniformly; rotting protein, fats, and debris collect at the bottom of the stomach forming a pouch that weighs down the passageway to the duodenum, leading to stomach deformation and hernia
- heavy_lifting: Improper heavy lifting (e.g., tractor tires, sledgehammers in extreme workouts) can cause hernias
- low_hydrochloric_acid: Low hydrochloric acid allows bacteria to proliferate in the stomach, which weakens the stomach lining and connective tissue over time; a burdened liver producing insufficient bile puts extra stress on stomach glands, further reducing HCL production
