today I’m going to talk about the hidden

source of anemia both B12 and iron

anemia that you probably have never

heard before and this involves a microbe

called H pylori and each pylori is a

fascinating bacteria that the majority

of the population have already in their

stomach and when the timing in the

environment is just right it can come

out of remission and create all sorts of

problems primarily with gastritis

inflammation of the stomach

ulcers as well as atrophy of your

stomach so the stomach starts shrinking

out of all the places to exist why would

you want to live in an acid stomach

right and also it actually eats iron

right that’s one of the things it eats

now typically what causes this microbe

to come out of remission and create

problems is when the stomach pH

oses the acidity okay so the more

alkaline your stomach becomes the more

that that microbe can survive and

potentially come out of remission when

the pH becomes more alkaline as well as

in individuals that are susceptible like

their immune system is weaker as a

survival mechanism it also has a enzyme

called

urease which basically causes the

breakdown of urea and then that turns

into ammonia

now this is a survival mechanism because

ammonia is that it’s extremely alkaline

it has a pH of like 11. I mean think

about this we have the stomach which has

a pH between 1.5 to 3 which is like

battery acid so you have a pH of 11 for

ammonia it’s super alkaline and that

allows this microbe to exist and Thrive

now there’s also another component

molecular mimicry okay what is that that

is another survival mechanism where that

microbe can mimic your own stomach cells

and so it’s trying to go underneath the

radar and for the most part your immune

system is tricked by that but not a

hundred percent a lot of times there’s

an immune reaction okay and then what

that immune reaction does is it starts

attacking your own stomach cells

as well as something called the

intrinsic factor and both of those

situations lead you to a very severe B12

deficiency

and then when the stomach atrophies

because of this microbe now you’re going

to get what’s called pernicious anemia

which is a B12 condition in the first

phase when you have gastritis you have a

lot of inflammation and you have a lot

more acid and that quickly decreases as

there’s more and more damage to the

stomach and you start having atrophy and

you lose the function of these little

gastric cells and then the stomach

becomes more alkaline so you start off

being too acid and then it goes over

here to alkaline okay and that’s just a

survival mechanism and when your stomach

is not alkaline now we lose the ability

to absorb iron we can’t activate iron

that’s inactive to the active form we

can’t absorb iron so now we become iron

deficient so we have both an iron

deficiency and the B12 deficiency not a

good situation

so here you are taking all this iron

taking all this B12 and wondering why

it’s not working you’re trying to fix

this thing but there’s something else

going on completely underneath it and of

course once you’re diagnosed with H

pylori the treatment is at least two

months of antibiotics okay usually

multiple antibiotics and the real

unfortunate problem with that is that a

lot of people end up with antibiotic

resistance to this H pylori microbe so

now

the antibiotics won’t work anymore okay

because the microbes quickly counter

that mechanism so here you are two

months of therapy right you have all

these side effects of the condition as

well as all the side effects from the

antibiotic in your gut and other places

this is why the treatment for H pylori

with antibiotics is uh it’s not very

successful long term because they’re not

looking down the road of what’s really

happening they’re thinking that this

microbe is the problem and so they just

need to wipe it out and then the problem

solved when in fact it’s just the tip of

the iceberg there’s a lot more to do

with the pH of your stomach the strength

of your immune system which now you just

weaken because of the antibiotics now we

still have gastritis we might have

ulcers we have atrophy of the stomach

we also now can’t protect ourselves

against microbes that are coming in from

our food so now we have an increased

tendency to get infections to the body

viruses bacteria fungal You Name It We

also can’t absorb minerals too well we

also can’t break down protein too well

so you can see this problem goes from

bad to worse what could we do about this

I would recommend taking something that

is more of a natural antibiotic that is

not as potent you have to take it longer

but there’s minimal side effects okay

and one of the best things they’ve

researched on this is sulforaphane which

is interesting because it’s not really a

plant it’s a chemical in a plant it’s in

broccoli Sprouts sauerkraut it’s in the

cruciferous vegetables so sulforaphane

is a compound is a potent anti-microbial

and the extra cool thing about this is

this it can work against antibiotic

resistant microorganisms and infections

okay so if you have this antibiotic

resist instant microbe well sulforaphane

can actually still work on that whereas

a antibiotic won’t work on that so we’re

taking a natural remedy not as potent

but we’re taking it longer to make sure

that we do this without the side effects

so that’s step one you may also want to

add another natural antibiotic called

wormwood okay wormwood extract and you

don’t have to take much you just take a

small amount over a long period of time

and I’m talking about three to four

months now you can get yourself

aerophane from a supplement or I would

recommend better yet get it from

microgreens or Sprouts broccoli Sprouts

or broccoli micro greens right and have

a little bit of that every day in your

salad that’s what I would recommend the

next thing I’m going to recommend as a

solution is zinc there’s many different

forms of zinc you can take but it’s more

important to just get zinc than to focus

on what type of form of Zinc but zinc

can be very effective against

ulcers

gastritis as well as healing the stomach

and helping you build up your

hydrochloric acid and so once the

gastritis settled down and the ulcer is

healed then we want to add betaine

hydrochloride or apple cider vinegar to

your stomach but not until the ulcer is

gone and the inflammation is gone the

other thing that you want to do that can

greatly help

put things back in the balance is to

either take a really good probiotic or

better yet start consuming a little

sauerkraut or even some pickles there

are certain microbes in sauerkraut and

pickles that are very beneficial to help

counter this H pylori because remember

we have the good bacteria and the bad

bacteria right so we want to increase

the good from this probiotic or the

sauerkraut and help counter the

situation and plus sauerkraut also has

sulforaphane and it’s really good for

the digestion if someone has gastritis

or for that matter any digestive issues

all right so now that you know this

other source of anemia which is very

valuable if you have anemia probably

important to show you the other causes

of anemia okay and I put that up right
