hey guys dr. Burke here in this video

we’re going to talk about the importance

of hydrochloric acid or stomach acid

your stomach acid is probably one of the

most important fluids in your entire

body because the Cascade of a negative

effects that occur without this acid are

huge let’s go through each one of them

so normally in your stomach you need a

very very strong acid that means a low

pH so one two three so it goes on a

scale from 1 to 14 so one to three is

very very acid so we need a very very

strong acidic stomach and that’s why

when people say oh yeah our bodies are

supposed to be alkaline well what about

the stomach they’re probably talking

about the blood but your stomach needs

to be very very acid now here’s the

thing as you age your you lose your

stomach acid okay and when you lose your

stomach acid a lot of things happen in a

negative way let’s just take one thing

if the stomach is not acidic you will

not release the main enzyme called

pepsin now what is pepsin and what is an

enzyme an enzyme is something called a

catalyst or a thing that helps beat up a

chemical reaction in the body it helps

you to break things down or builds

something back up so what’s interesting

about enzymes is is they basically don’t

necessarily get used up after they do

the work they’re kind of like a self

propelling energy that does all the work

but doesn’t use up its energy it’s

pretty wild it’s but it speeds up the

chemical reaction so pepsin is a main

catalyst or enzyme that breaks down

protein okay so that’s what it does

but it takes a pH between one two and up

to three to release this enzyme so if

you’re not releasing this enzyme you

can’t break down protein one of the most

common symptoms would be intestinal gas

that’s when we know we’re not getting

this release of this pepsin okay you’re

also going to get bloating and other

things but what happens too is that

valve on top of the stomach is

controlled by the pH so the valve won’t

necessarily close if the pH is not

strong

so that’s called acid reflux you know or

GERD that’s basically because your

stomach is not asked enough what’s

really ironic is the way they treat it

is they give you an anti acid so you’re

going to feel better but then you’re

going to feel worse because you’re

taking the acid out of the system what

they should do is put more acid in there

to fix it but they don’t really do that

one of the challenges with having this

valve not closed tightly is that the

enzyme splashes up into not just the

acid but the enzyme can go right up all

the way up your esophagus up into your

your larynx and your vocal cords and

that can create chronic coughing it can

create chronic hoarseness it can create

like that little lump in your throat a

chronic cough irritation asthma that’s

because this enzyme is going right up in

here and the main reason is because this

is not acid enough so then it leaks up

into the esophagus so that’s one symptom

the three main purposes of the acid or

number one to help break down proteins

number to absorb minerals and number

three kill off microbes so like if you

see like a dog for example eat like yous

like eat raw meat

you know there’s microbes and bacteria

and our dog has a really strong stomach

acid and so that acid is just going to

kill all that bacteria well we also have

the acid there to kill microbes as well

in case there’s so we cannot have any

extra invading microbes come through the

stomach so it’s if we don’t have an

ambassador we get a bacterial overgrowth

so you might have extra you know

bacteria that shouldn’t be there and you

leaky gut because undigested protein can

leak through the system and create all

sorts of immune reactions because then

it goes through the lymphatic system in

your immune system attacks it as being a

foreign body and bam allergy because

allergies are always two proteins right

so I wonder why it starts with the

stomach acid that’s why so many people

if they just get the stomach right

everything will do really really good

and then we have Candida up see normal

in your friendly stomach

in your friendly bacteria in your

stomach and your gut you actually have a

normal Candida in there that’s supposed

to be helpful to you it’s not a bad

thing it’s only when it has an

overgrowth if the pH is not correct if

the pH is too alkaline you’ll get an

overgrowth of the fungus type Candida

okay so that will happen and that can

happen in the mouth the vaginal area and

your intestines and your toenails all

over the place so that’s one thing also

h pylori h pylori lives in an alkaline

environment in fact it’ll it’ll even

alkalis your stomach to live it doesn’t

survive at an acid medium so normally

like I think most people actually have h

pylori in their stomach that’s a

negative microbe I mean it’s it’s a it’s

a neutral microbe that can activate and

cause damage if it’s becomes unfriendly

but it’s really controlled by the

environment if that environment is too

alkaline that h pile already kicks in

there and you can have all these main

side effects from that inflammation

gastritis all those things so we have

that issue and then we also have rosacea

rosacea is the red face that comes from

low stomach acid as well that’s one of

the symptoms GERD we talked about that

acid reflux bloating gas indigestion is

basically all that means is you don’t

have enough stomach acid okay it could

be that you’re also taking anti acids

which then causing less acid and stomach

or even stress can deplete your asses

your stomach

bad food junk food sugar a lot of things

take that asset out of stomach diarrhea

you know can do it as well because you

lose all your stomach acid vomiting

people that have a bulimia because they

vomit they can lose their stomach acids

so that’s that’s some causes now let’s

get into undigested protein in your

stomach if you can’t break down protein

in your stomach and break down into

amino acid then you can’t build body

tissues so there goes the hail hair nail

skin muscle protein not to mention

neurotransmitters like adrenaline

tryptophan all these amino acids that

are supposed to be there to help build

your hormones

I mean serotonin is a pleasure hormone

so if it’s made in protein so if you’re

that stomach is not right you’re not

gonna have the building blocks to make

those neurotransmitters or like hormone

type things but they travel to the

nervous system and then the last thing

that we’ll do it to controls the

absorption of minerals so without that

stomach being pH you can’t poll in

calcium

you can’t pull in magnesium or zinc or

iron so you have something called anemia

even pernicious anemia basically it’s

low iron and it could be also b12

different forms of anemia but if you

can’t pull in that iron then you get a

whole series of additional side effects

one is anxiety OCD sleeping problems

tinnitus it’s ringing the ear

palpitations of the heart hair loss it

genus like you can see the cascade of

effects that occur from not having the

stomach right and because you have an

acid reflux condition or GERD you’re

thinking I have too much acid and you’re

basing all the therapies on the wrong

solution and that’s where people kind of

go from bad to worse and they’re

treating all these other conditions when

they if they just fix the stomach a lot

of things will improve so I think fixing

the stomach will fix all the different

PHS in the body that’s just my personal

opinion when the b12 you need a strong

acid in your stomach to digest button

b12 so if you don’t have b12 you have

visual changes gait problems fatigue

tingling numbness memory problems a

whole bunch of things because b12 is

involved in your DNA that’s involved in

your brain tissue it’s involved in your

immune system your energy your

metabolism so many things so there what

I recommend of course you can some of

the other videos I recommend apple cider

vinegar for those people that don’t like

to tape up soda vinegar I do have

something that you can take in a pill

form and it’s called apple cider vinegar

plus because I I have 50% of this is

absolute vinegar powder and 50% of its

betaine hydrochloride which is an

acidifier so this is what I take

between me I’m actually right before a

meal to acidify my stomach and what it

does is it starts to naturally give you

the acids that you’re missing so you can

start building up that acidifier and

start to really correct the deeper cause

I always recommend taking one before a

meal with each meal and then the next

day take two before each meal and then

take three before each meal until you

feel really really really good in your

stomach and you’re digesting because you

want to gradually increase the acid some

people need a lot of Siddha fires to

help fix your stomach and they might

even need six initially to fix it and

then it you can back off over time but

you want to gradually go into it you

don’t want to just take the huge amount

wrap up the bat but it’s more I like it

because it’s corrective because once you

have how to chloric acid your body will

tend to actually recycle it and it’ll

start working better so it’s a great

solution to fix a lot of problems

naturally without having to make it

worse okay so it’s more corrective than

anything so I just wanted to touch on

the importance of how to chloric acid

and give you some of the functions of

what it does and a deeper understanding

of the of some myths that people have

about it so thanks for watching I’ll see

in the next video
