so baking soda is it good is it bad  should you keep taking it for acid reflux  

a lot of people are taking this thinking it’s  

good for them and they don’t really understand  what they’re doing baking soda is sodium  

bicarbonate now take a look at this we got the  stomach right here the stomach normally should be  

not just slightly acid extremely acid between  one and three that’s normal you need your stomach  

acids to be at that ph to digest proteins to kill  microbes and to absorb minerals okay now as this  

food gets through the stomach it goes into the  small intestine right here and the pancreas  

releases a bicarbonate now remember what  baking soda is it’s sodium bicarbonate okay  

so our bodies are supposed to have bicarbonates  not in the stomach but just past the stomach in  

the small intestine to neutralize the acid so it  doesn’t damage the small intestine and also the  

bile that comes out of the gallbladder that’s also  alkaline to help neutralize it so bicarbonates are  

are alkaline so what we’re trying to do is we’re  trying to neutralize that acid but if you’re  

putting this baking soda this sodium bicarbonate  at this level in the stomach you are going to mess  

up your digestion down the road now you’re going  to feel better temporarily because of the acid  

reflux it’s going to help neutralize it but the  next time you eat it’s going to be a little bit  

weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker because  you’re treating the symptom you’re not treating  

the cause of the problem the question is why is  the stomach more acid why are you getting acid  

reflux in the first place normally what happens is  the valve on top of the stomach is not shutting so  

that acid is refluxing back up into the esophagus  it’s also called gerd and so why is that it could  

be from either an autonomic nervous system problem  because you’re deficient in b1 or it could be you  

don’t have enough stomach acid because that  valve closes if you have enough stomach acid  

and this is why people feel so much better when  they start taking apple cider vinegar for problems  

like this or they take betaine hydrochloride  which is an acidifier they can build up their  

hydrochloric acid they feel so much better  and it’s more correct sometimes you might take  

three but in reality you may need five six seven  eight even up to ten before a meal initially for  

it to work just from experience working with a  lot of people over many years i found that some  

people just need more and then it works like a  charm and the problem is they don’t know that so  

they try for a couple days they take a couple  it doesn’t do anything and then they give up  

the key with that is taking more there’s  some other things you can do as well like  

the combination of zinc carnosine and betaine  hydrochloride is very effective for acid reflux  

some of the long-term side effects that can occur  if you’re taking too much sodium bicarbonate over  

a period of time vomiting diarrhea kidney  damage depressed breathing because your  

ph is altered worsened cardiac heart failure so  if you already have pre-existing heart problems  

and you’re taking baking soda that throws off  the ph it messes up the um the heart okay then  

we have cerebral hemorrhage bleeding and then  we have a deficiency of calcium which causes  

muscle spasms then we have a decrease in  potassium which leads to a whole cascade of  

bad things that can happen after that you can get  belching bloating but other than that you’re good

hey before you go real quick i have a course  entitled how to bulletproof your immune system  

it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
