    It was discovered by two scientists recently that most stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria, not acid. It's incredible after all this time to find that ulcers are not caused by stress, (though stress may make them worse). We see ourselves as so technologically advanced, yet we've barely scratched the surface of God's wonders.

    They discovered it about 20 years ago, but just now won the Nobel for it.

    The best part of this story is that the dude drank a solution of the bacteria to give himself an ucler, then treated it with antibiotics, just to prove his point.
