so today let’s talk about a condition

called burning throat syndrome or

another name for that would be silent

acid reflux which is basically the same

thing that is a situation where you’re

having acid coming up through this valve

up into the esophagus from the stomach

creating a lot of irritation in the

throat area but not necessarily in the

stomach area so this acid is extremely

acidic between one in three that’s like

battery acid

now the stomach you have this protecting

liner but in the esophagus you don’t so

there is some irritation up here so

you’re gonna get damaged in the throat

that can lead to a sore throat the vocal

cords it’s going to affect your ability

to speak then you have frequent sorry

throat clearings coughing pain in the

sternum which is that breast bone right

through in here so the medical name for

this is laryngeal pharyngeal reflex the

larynx is like the voice box right above

it you have with something called the

pharynx which is in the back part of the

throat area and it can affect both of

those areas because acid is splashing up

through here there’s a condition called

GERD which is involving this valve not

closing that can also create these

symptoms so here’s the thing this valve

is controlled by three things okay

number one the pH of the stomach so if

this acid is not a stood enough it’s

relatively a little more alkaline than

it should be

the valve won’t close correctly okay so

this is why I always recommend apple

cider vinegar pertain how to chloride to

help the situation number two it could

be a problem with the autonomic nervous

system because the nervous system

controls this valve so what happens when

you’re diabetic is you get problems with

the vascular supply to the nervous

system so you have a problem with the

nerves and your feet causing peripheral

neuropathy you have a problem with the

nerve and your eye the retina okay which

you can go blind you can also have a

problem with the nerve in the ear which

can affect ringing the ears or even

deafness you can have a problem with any

part of the nervous system including the

autonomic nervous system and have a

problem with this valve as well but

there’s one more mechanism involved and

it’s involving this hormone called

gastrin

gastrin is the hormone that makes

gastric acid and if you have enough then

you have enough acid and just as a side

note gastric acid is not just

hydrochloric acid

it also has sodium chloride and

potassium chloride so you actually need

salt and potassium to make gastric acid

but there’s one more thing if your

vitamin D deficient you could actually

have a lowered amount of gastrin lower

amounts of this hormone create lower

amounts of this acid and this is going

to affect the valve it’s not going to

close tightly and the acid can go right

through here

so what do you do about it well one

thing is you take the chain hunter

chloride hop cider vinegar that doesn’t

work make sure you’re consuming enough

salt potassium from your diet but also

take some vitamin D you could be

deficient and that could be the reason

why you have this acid that’s coming up

through here alright thanks for watching
