Bansaw, It only raises the acidity for an an hour or so.
To make the stomach acidic you need to have a lot of things working properly. For us the problem is probably ATP. In some of Richvank's stuff (I think it was in those norwegian videos) he made the point that producing acid in the stomach requires lots of and lots of ATP.
But if you look at the wikipedia article on gastric acid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid it soon becomes clear that you need lots and lots of things to work. Which is good as these things that probably depend on the body having access to good nutrition, which will be improved by getting the pH right so you may find that your dose goes down.
On the other hand when I went looking for info on this I found this article
http://nutritionreview.org/2013/04/gastric-balance-heartburn-caused-excess-acid/ which suggests that low acid becomes more and more common from about 30 onwards So maybe it is something we should be taking long term.
