What you need
to know about your stomach
Your stomach was made
to be an acid chamber,so it could digest protein. It was designed
to keep its pH 3.0 or less.
When your stomach's
pH moves above 3.0, it automatically produces more acid to bring
the pH down below 3.0.
Your stomach is happy
and working like it should when its pH is 3.0 or less because it
can do the job it was intended to:
- break protein into
its individual amino acids
- prepare vitamins
and minerals to be absorbed in the intestines
- destroy incoming
bacteria and pathogens
- reduce chances
of coming down with stomach cancer
- keep stomach content
acidic so when it goes into the duodenum, it triggers pancreas
digestive juices.
- reduces the chances
of having allergies, skin disease, asthma, depression, lupus,
grave's disease, osteoporosis, accelerated aging, and other conditions.
What
is heartburn or acid reflux?
Acid reflux or heartburn is a condition where your stomach acid
has gone to areas where it does not belong. Specifically it has
moved into your esophagus, which is the long tube that comes from
your throat to your stomach. There, this acid will burn and destroy
tissue lining.
If you have heartburn or acid reflux, you will feel a burning or
painful sensation coming up your chest. Stomach acid has push back
up into your esophagus through a valve that is between your esophagus
and upper stomach.
Acid reflux is the movement of your stomach acidic contents moving
into your esophagus. Heartburn is the result of the stomach content
in your esophagus - the pain or burning sensation you feel in your
chest.
What
is the cause of heartburn or acid reflux
Heartburn is caused
by the esophagus valve opening and allowing acid to "reflux"
or move up into your esophagus where it burns your sensitive tissue.
Heartburn is not caused by excess stomach acid, as is promoted by
the medical community. The major cause is a faulty esophagus valve,
called the lower esophageal sphincter, LES, which allows acid back
into an area where it does not belong.
what is the
recommend medical treatment
Doctors prescribe
what the pharmaceutical company's create and push. A few of these
drugs are:
- prosilec
- AcipHex
- Nexium
- Protonix
- Antacids
What do these
drugs do?
They either
neutralize or block the formation of stomach acid causing its pH
to go above 3.0. As the acid pH moves up to 4 and higher, it is
becoming more alkaline. Under these conditions it will not burn
your sensitive esophageal tissue and the result is you do not feel
the burning sensation. This leads you to believe that you are cured,
but you have to continue to use the drug to be cured.
What are the
side effects of this medical treatment
The side effects of using these drugs
is that it keeps your stomach at a pH higher than 3.0 and your stomach
is not allowed to stabilize its pH to 3.0 or less.
You now have a stomach that exists
with its chemical make up "out of spec." Do you accept
or produce products that are "out of spec" and expect
these products to work as they were intended? I think not.
What is the
natural remedies to use for heartburn or acid reflux
The natural remedy
and lifestyle for eliminating heartburn or acid reflux is to:
- stop doing and
eating the things that promote acid reflux
- start doing the
things that help eliminate acid reflux
- start taking natural
remedies that will help to strengthen or normalize your lower
esophageal sphincter, LES.
In the next issue,
I will discuss the above three items and give you some ideas on
what you can do to relieve or cure your heartburn and stop acid
reflux.
One of the secrets in controlling and eliminating heartburn and
acid reflux is to take HCl acid pills. Heartburn often occurs not
because of excess acid in the stomach but because of not enough
acid in the stomach. This will be explained in the next issue. But
taking HCl pills should be done under the direction of your doctor.
Your stomach is your
first line of good health. Keeping your stomach working right will
assure you that you will get the right nutrition into your blood
to prevent the many diseases that occur when you are under nourished.
