I want to show you how to completely stop acid reflux once and for all.

I had acid reflux really bad in college.

I was downing massive amounts of thumbs, not having a clue of what caused it.

I really wish I knew back then what I know now because it would have been so easy to correct.

I mean, just months and months of suffering, this terrible heartburn,

I'd have to kind of sit up like propped up in my bed to try to have it drained because at night, it would be terrible.

So what is acid reflux?

It's a situation where you're having acid that's regurgitating coming up through a valve into the esophagus.

And that valve is called the lower esophageal sphincter.

Now, the most important thing to know about acid reflux is that it's caused by not enough acid.

Okay, there's a deficiency of acid in your stomach.

And that acid is not triggering a certain mechanism to close the valve at the top of the stomach at the bottom of the esophagus.

And then the valve doesn't close and so the acid regurgitates.

So the term for this low acid situation is called hypochlorhydria.

That is the root cause of your heartburn.

So that means low stomach acid.

There's another condition called a chlorhydria, which there's no acid in your stomach.

And that happens with people as they get older and older.

In fact, as we age, we lose the acid in our stomach and we have all sorts of digestive problems.

30% of the population over the age of 60 has a deficiency of stomach acid.

So it's a big deal.

So what happens is we get on an acids, we take medication to do with this.

And then of course the side of the action that are horrendous because we're doing the exact opposite of what we should be doing.

So it makes us feel better temporarily.

But the next time we eat, it gets worse and worse and worse.

And we never come off this medication.

It is so important to ensure that our stomach has the right pH.

And the normal pH of the stomach should be between one and three.

That is extremely acid.

So on the pH scale, you have seven being neutral.

And so if it goes up like 8, 9, 10, that's more alkaline.

And below seven, that is more acid.

In each whole number that you go down, it's by a factor of 10x.

So in other words, a pH of 5 is 10 times more acid than a pH of 6.

So if we're talking about a pH of 1 to 3, that is extremely acidic.

And that's what you really need to break down proteins to absorb minerals and vitamins like B12,

acid and vitamin C.

And also another reason why we needed is to kill off microbes, fungus, bacteria to prevent those microbes from growing in our small intestine.

The key thing about the stomach as far as the release of that acid and the closing of that valve is that there's a link between the two.

In other words, that valve normally should close.

If there's enough of a certain chemical called gastrin that causes the release of hydrochloric acid.

So this is communication from the level of acid to the valve and that the closing and opening of the valve.

And this whole thing is under parasympathetic control.

Now what does that mean?

It's under the part of the nervous system that controls digestion and rest.

When you want your spring break to feel like...

Okay, so that opposes the other system that's called the sympathetic, which is the flight of fight.

So what does that mean?

The more stress that you have, the more acid reflux you're going to have too.

Because as you increase the sympathetic, you decrease the parasympathetic.

So stress is another reason why we have a lot of problems with the stomach.

And the reason why we might have acid reflux or another term for that would be good.

Now, there's some other importance of having the right amount of acid.

And I'm talking about hydrochloric acid.

Hydrochloric acid also helps you release.

The bio from your gallbladder.

It helps to cause the gallbladder to contract and release the bio to help you.

Extract that side of vitamins from your food.

As well as omega three fatty acids and help you write down fats.

Also this hydrochloric acid helps stimulate the pancreas to produce enzymes to help you digest food.

So without that acid being.

But at the right pH, you're not going to have sufficient bile released and you're not going to have sufficient enzymes released.

And that's going to cause a lot of other problems a little bit lower down in this chain reaction.

And then what happens is you might have bacteria and fungus that then grows in the small intestine.

And that's called sebo.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

And you just bloated, you feel the stended.

And this will definitely occur if you're eating fiber and probiotics.

So yeah, that's a, that's a situation.

Also one last thing about hydrochloric acid.

You need the correct pH of the stomach to keep H pylori in check.

Normally our bodies have H pylori and it's not creating any problem for us.

But when we lose the stomach acid, then it comes out.

And it creates problems.

So this is just another important reason why we need this HCl hydrochloric acid in our stomach.

The other thing that can mess us up in relationship to not having enough hydrochloric acid is low zinc, which is very common for so many people.

If you're low on zinc, you'll have a tendency to have problems with.

Uh, gird as well as acid reflux as well as ulcers.

So it takes a sufficient amount of zinc to make hydrochloric acid.

It also takes other things like chlorides as in sodium chloride, like salt to make hydrochloric acid.

It also takes good amount of potassium to make hydrochloric acid.

So it might be your problem is really coming from a zinc deficiency, maybe a chloride deficiency or even a potassium deficiency.

So it's not just about taking hydrochloric acid.

It's about taking the raw materials that can actually build up your acid.

Now another thing that a lot of doctors do not have any information about is the connection between taking calcium and having too much calcium.

And having acid reflux or gird.

So one of the side effects of taking a calcium and acid is acid reflux.

It's completely insane.

And the problem is if you don't understand a connection, you can be giving someone the absolute worst thing to give them for that condition.

So if you're going to your doctor for this condition, definitely tell them to research the link between hypercalcemia and gird or acid reflux.

Now people don't just take calcium and acids.

They take other types of medication for acid reflux like PPI's for example.

And the problem with those medications is that there's some massive side effects.

There are a lot of side effects from these ant-assets.

I recommend the best remedy for this and take something to build up your hardcore точ of singingYeahqiit.

And that is calledgeniaida shredded chel?

it. You start off taking like three right before a meal, see how you feel, okay? Let's say you still

have a problem, but it's better. Next meal, take four. Next meal, take five before a meal, and you

keep increasing it until your symptoms go away, and it could take seven, eight, or more of these

little bitane hydrochloride tablets before you have no more acid reflex. Now all this means is that

you're very deficient in this acid and you have to build it back up, and it does take time. I would

also recommend this. So let's say for example, you're up to eight, butane hydrochloride, okay,

and your acid reflex goes away and you feel great. I would continue to take a little bit more

until you start getting kind of like a maybe a heartburn or a warmness in your stomach,

which means you've taken too much. So then you can back off. That way you can know exactly how much

you really need to fix this problem. Number two, make sure you're getting enough potassium

and seafsalt in the diet because those are the precursors to building hydrochloric acid.

Number three, I would make sure you're getting sufficient zinc, which is also very important

in this process. And number four, chew your food longer, okay. That's going to assist this whole

process, especially right now if you don't have enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach, you just

need to chew more. And that's going to help this process and make everything go a little bit faster.

And number five, make sure you keep your stress down because stress could be aggravating the

situation. We don't want you to be in a sympathetic dominant mode. We want you to be

in the parasympathetic where you're relaxed. So you really want to put your body in a relaxed

state when you eat because it's going to help your digestion. Now on that note, I have another

really good video that explains the entire digestive process, okay. Starting from the stomach,

going all the way down to the large intestine. That's a really good video. You should watch that

next. And I put that video up right here and check it out.
