so could you deliver actually be causing

too much ammonia in your body let’s talk

about that

what is ammonia well in your body it’s a

byproduct of protein metabolism so

normally in the digestive tract you

break down protein starting in the

stomach okay and then it’s supposed to

turn into amino acids those amino acids

then are supposed to go through the

liver and there’s certain byproducts

that occur with those amino acids one

being ammonia and the other one is urea

urea is a less toxic form of ammonia so

normally if everything’s working

correctly this ammonia which is toxic

should break down into urea and the

kidneys should get rid of it but if

there is a problem of ammonia breaking

down into urea the ammonia starts

backing up into the blood and that’s

very toxic and here’s some of the

symptoms that can occur confusion mood

changes personality changes nerve damage

brain dysfunction and possibly even a

coma so let’s talk about all the

possible reasons why ammonia could build

up in the body cirrhosis that’s scar

tissue of the liver this occurs after

you get a fatty liver or your livers

inflamed as in hepatitis and eventually

it fills up a scar tissue and it just

can’t filter anymore and so that could

be one of the causes another cause could

be hepatitis hepatitis causes damage of

the liver and then now you can’t filter

out this ammonium drinking too much

alcohol over time will then affect the

liver and that can cause too much

ammonia also something called carnitine

deficiency carnitine is a protein that

is like a carrier that delivers fat to

the mitochondria for energy so if you

have a carnitine deficiency you can

actually build up too much ammonia as

well and by the way carnitine is in red

meat dehydration can also spike ammonia

in the body next one is SIBO so if

there’s too much bacteria growing on the

small intestine and not too large that

can also cause it because the microbes

themselves have the capacity to make

ammonia

they’re overwhelmed with too much

protein this can occur as well all right

so what is some things that you can do

if this happens to you number one start

cutting down your protein number two you

can take glutamine I would take

l-glutamine that actually helps break

down ammonium higher potassium foods as

in more vegetables chlorophyll as in

wheatgrass juice powder a probiotic can

help as well

garlic is high in sulfur cruciferous

vegetables apple cider vinegar why

because the pH of ammonia is 11 it’s

extremely alkaline so we want to acidify

the body and celery or celery juice can

help detoxify this out of the body and

one last thing I want to mention if

you’re smelling ammonia in your urine

when you’re peeing don’t assume is

cirrhosis or a fatty liver or hepatitis

it could be you’re just dehydrated it

could be you might have SIBO so it’s

it’s not always something like this in

which case you just might want to add

more fluid and that could solve the

whole thing all right guys thanks for
