hey guys Dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about something

called GERD gastroesophageal reflux disease right so it’s a long word really

means it’s really similar to acid reflux or heartburn where the acid kind of

comes up and it’s really a problem with the valve between the esophagus and the

stomach and the reason why people have this problem is because their pH in

their stomach goes to alkaline now this is the opposite of what you’ve been told

but it’s true and I can prove it so normally in your stomach you need a pH

of 1 to 3 that is extremely acid okay so as you go higher things become more

alkaline until you get to 7 which is neutral and it keeps going higher so

anything that goes higher is alkaline anything that goes lower on the scale is

acid okay so when the pH is 1 2 3 everything is cool you can digest this

valve closes very nicely at 1 2 3 so it keeps the acid contained but when this

pH in the stomach starts rising and going more alkaline like what happens

with a lot of people that get older especially in their 40s and 50s and 60s

and 70s you start losing your stomach acid and it’s no coincidence that a lot

of older people have GERD or acid reflux it’s because the age you lose your

stomach acids so what happens when you lose that the valve doesn’t close

anymore so what do people take anti acids it’s the exact thing that will

make them feel better temporarily but the next time I eat it keeps going and

keeps going in and get worse even if you look up the side effects of the

medication for GERD it will it will it actually causes more heartburn as one of

the side effects or even an ulcer or even calcium soft tissue that builds up

because you need the stomach acid very very acidic to be able to absorb

minerals and digest protein so if you’re eating food

without a good strong acid stomach you get gas indigestion

you have bloating you actually have problems absorbing minerals you become

anemic the need the taste for meat goes down you just can’t digest especially

red meat so the point is that if you want to get relief with this condition

I’m going to recommend you try two things you try betaine hydrochloride

which is an acidifier it’s a natural thing you can get and you would take

maybe I don’t know three four with a meal and or apple cider vinegar pills or

apple cider vinegar they have them in little pills and you can take these with

eating right before you eat so you might take two of these and two of these boom

start feeling better and you’re like wow why don’t I feel better because you’re

making this more acid and this is closing so it stops the acid from

regurgitating back up into your esophagus very simple solution now the

other thing I want to mention is that something called h-pylori h-pylori is a

microbe that invades the whole system when your ph goes alkalyn if you keep

your acid your stomach acid you have more protection against h-pylori many

people have h-pylori in their body but it’s inactive it becomes activated when

your ph goes higher and more alkaline interesting so there’s a one of the

purposes of having a strong acid in your stomach is to kill microbes from that

are in the food that you eat so we need this acidifier - just like a dog can eat

raw meat or you know they eat something I don’t on the ground and their

stomach is so acid they can just dissolve any microbes okay so we want

this food to be digested fully at the stomach level to prevent GERD and

basically keep the valve shut and nicely you know so you can actually digest so

basically apply this and write write your comments below and hopefully you’ll

feel much better
