so today we’re going to talk about the

causes of acid reflux heartburn and GERD

if you have these conditions this will

be very interesting okay now if you look

up the actual cause of GERD it’ll say

and by the way GERD is gastroesophageal

reflux disorder it will tell you that

it’s the loss of normal pressure between

the sphincter and the stomach and it’ll

say that it’s an appropriate relaxation

of the sphincter which is that valve on

top of the stomach that keeps everything

intact and then if we look at the cause

of heartburn it says that the cause is a

symptom of GERD caused by acid reflux

why if you look at the cause of acid

reflux it’ll say well we’re not sure but

it’s triggered by pregnancy smoking

obesity hiatal hernia so there’s not

actually a lot of data or information

about the actual causes of these it’s

all about the risk factors it’s the

related triggers it is the medications

that you need to be on etc and so what

people end up doing is they end up

managing these symptoms with several

different types of anti-acids you have

the protein pump inhibitors you have the

tums which is the calcium carbonate and

something called h2 receptor blocker

okay all three of these basically reduce

the acid in the stomach okay let’s take

a look at the side effects c-diff which

is a bacterial infection

osteoporosis decreased b12 decrease

magnesium allergy reactions heart

attacks and this thing called a chloride

RIA okay

tums gas nausea kidney stones allergies

constipation and this thing called a

core hydrea then we have decreased sex

drive

insomnia muscle pain vomiting

constipation and a chloride RIA Wow look

at that

what is this let’s take a look

it’s a condition where you don’t have

the acid in your stomach anymore okay

you have another condition called hypo

chloride Riya okay which is decreased or

diminished acid in the stomach and this

is basically no acid in your stomach

let’s take a look at some of the side

effects okay the Sun affects GERD acid

reflux heartburn interesting decrease

b12 constipation decrease magnesium and

decrease zinc because the medications

are actually causing this condition

which is creating the same problem

alright so what’s wrong with this

picture we have GERD acid reflux

heartburn then then you take any acids

which then deplete the acid which then

cause the same symptoms over and over

and we have this interesting cycle right

here so then the question is what causes

these conditions okay is it too much

acid well that’s something a little bit

different that’s more of a sour stomach

that is more of a acid stomach which can

then lead to gastritis maybe it’s just

the fluid is this too acidic right but

but what is the normal pH of the stomach

between 1 and 3 okay I mean this the pH

scale goes from 1 to 14 you can’t get a

more acidic fluid than 1 so the problem

is not that it’s too acid or too much

acid the problem is with all three of

these you’re having acid that is

splashing up into the esophagus because

of this valve problem and the valve is

controlled by the autonomic nervous

system so really we have an autonomic

nervous system problem that’s then

treated with an anti acid which then

cause these three symptoms very

interesting so let’s take another look

at the cause of a chloride riah okay one

of the causes is H pylori this microbe

actually depletes the stomach acids

making the stomach acid less acid okay

another cause would be deficient

Zink which by the way is one of the best

remedies for ulcers and gastritis

decrease potassium decrease sodium

decrease whole rides okay

unique chloride to make hydrochloric

acid decrease iodine decreased vitamin

b3 so you need nutrients to build

hydrochloric acid also a heel

hypothyroid condition you can have this

condition and any acids can cause this

condition here’s the big question okay

if this condition causes these three

conditions then what would happen if we

added the acid back into the stomach and

guess what I’ve seen this time and time

and time again when you add more acid

into a stomach with these conditions

these conditions go away things like

apple cider vinegar and betaine

hydrochloride are very very effective

apparently there’s a relationship

between the stomach acid and the valve

and if the stomach acid is the correct

pH that valve will stay nice and tight

but if you have these conditions make

sure you also understand that you need

to fortify your your your body with

these nutrients right here zinc

potassium salt okay sea salt iodine

which by the way is in the sea salt and

b3 all right guys go ahead and try this
