i want to talk about the number one mistake  that doctors make in treating heartburn they  

alkalize the stomach with things like ppi’s proton  pump inhibitors and the number one being nexium  

and number two is prilosec did you  realize between the year 1992 and 2017  

nexium alone just that one ppi produced over 72  billion dollars so these ppis are one of the most  

widely sold medications in the world  and i think there’s about eight of them  

and they’re used to treat indigestion ulcers gerd  gastritis and of course then the doctor will tell  

you to you know eat more fiber in the form of  whole grains avoid fat and then eat bland foods  

like crackers but here’s the problem the grains  alkalize the stomach and i think the missing link  

is not fully understanding the significance and  the importance of having a very acidic stomach  

your stomach normally should be between one and  three that’s extremely acidic and within a stomach  

like that you should be able to digest pretty much  anything but you need that acid in your stomach  

to kill pathogens to break down proteins and to  help you absorb minerals but if you look up data  

on heartburn as far as the cause of it it’ll say  well you’re consuming acidic foods you’re eating  

a high fat diet too many fried foods spicy foods  and gerd and if you look up the cause of gerd it  

will say well the cause is acid reflux but they’re  not really looking deeper than that unfortunately  

and then the patient starts taking these ppis and  they get side effects here are the side effects  

abdominal pain gas constipation osteoporosis  sarcopenia that’s the loss of muscle mass  

myopathies muscle problems probably because  they can no longer absorb amino acids anymore  

c diff which is a pathogen anxiety because you  need these amino acids to make neurotransmitters  

sibo small intestinal bacterial overgrowth fungal  overgrowth pneumonia kidney disease but other than  

that you’re going to be perfectly fine so what  is the real cause of heartburn well it is those  

things that weaken the stomach acids heartburn  most the time comes from a lack of acid okay and  

then the body will start overcompensating and it  starts producing more and that comes mainly from  

your diet too many refined grains too many sugars  too many processed foods etc so this is what i  

want you to know the weaker a person’s digestive  system is i’m not just talking about the stomach  

i’m talking about any part of the digestive system  the more they need to enhance the digestive system  

with adding more acids like betaine hydrochloride  which is a natural thing apple cider vinegar  

to re-establish the ph add purified bile salts  which will assist the gallbladder in helping  

you digest fats add probiotics to help you digest  fiber and also realize that if your system is weak  

you’re going to have a harder time breaking  down raw foods so you’re going to have to steam  

your vegetables or cook them and even eat less of  them until you can reestablish this acidic ph and  

ferment your vegetables like in sauerkraut pickles  and other vegetables very very important that way  

you can lessen the plant chemicals like oxalates  phytates lectins and tannins that can just tear  

up your intestines and also fattier meat is much  easier to digest than leaner meat and i think that  

has to do with number one you’re able to stimulate  more bile production and help more digestion what  

stimulates bile is fatty foods so the leaner the  protein the less bile production the less you’re  

going to be able to get help from your gallbladder  when you’re digesting and also chewing your food a  

lot longer is going to help you if you’re going  to stimulate more digestive enzymes that way  

germinating your nuts like soaking them overnight  would also help so i just wanted to give you some  

tips on helping those people that have a  weaker digestive system and also increase  

your awareness and the harmful effects of some of  these medications in fact when i was in college  

i had heartburn so bad and i had no idea what was  causing it of course i was eating pure refined  

carbohydrates and tons of grains but low fat lean  proteins of course i had very little awareness  

on health i was taking tums just like  candy all day long until i get an ulcer  

so that just went on for years and years and  years in fact for breakfast i remember eating  

a lot of cereal and muffins thinking that  was the thing to do but little did i know  

it was weakening my system over time so it wasn’t  until i really understood the significance of  

the stomach acid that i started to turn things  around and completely get rid of those symptoms  

thanks for watching hey before you go if  you’re benefiting from any of my content  

i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
