Research

There are many ways of publishing research. I have decided to publish this research on the internet so that everyone can have free access to the results and the interpretation given to these results. This scientific research includes the investigation of gastric acid secretion and the clinical conditions of gastro-oesophageal reflux, Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach, ulcerative colitis and colorectal carcinoma.
