hey guys today we’re going to talk about

the relationship between GERD

gastroesophageal reflux disorder or acid

reflux or indigestion and your joints

okay there’s a huge connection now the

purpose of the stomach is threefold

number one to help you digest protein

number two to help you absorb minerals

and three to kill pathogens or microbes

so we’re going to talk about this first

purpose right here normally the stomach

should be very very acidic between one

and three that’s extremely acidic for

everything to work right

not just the digestion of protein but

the closure of the valve at the top you

have little sensors in this valve

receptors for pH so what happens if your

stomach pH is not acid enough it just

won’t close if it’s really acid it will

tend to close so that’s kind of how it

works when you have GERD or acid reflux

the normal thought is oh wow I have too

much acid so I need to alkalize my body

I need to take an anti acid right which

just makes it worse

you go from feeling a little relief and

then also the next time you eat it’s

worse because your take your alkalizing

the pH you’re actually raising the page

we want to keep it low and very very

acid the lower the pH the more acid it

is and there’s numerous reasons why your

stomach would become too alkaline in the

first place number one as you age you

lose your strong acidic pH medications

especially anti-acids low salt diet

because the chloride in sodium chloride

is the precursor to make hydrochloric

acid junk foods and low potassium foods

because you also need potassium to help

you make stomach acids

thus large quantities of vegetables so

if you have GERD or acid reflux that

usually means you don’t have enough acid

so low acid is the cause this is the

symptom and the effects of that on

protein digestion is this you’re not

going to be able to build up the full

strength of your ten

or your ligaments so you could basically

be susceptible to tearing and a tendon

or ligament you can have a tender

ligament that’s too tight or because

tendons and ligaments are around joints

you can have this popping and creaking

in the joints and your your muscles

might be weaker you could be losing disc

height a loss of collagen which is the

kind of the glue that holds the joint

together again more clicking popping and

a loss of the range of motion and even

loss of protein in the bone itself a lot

of the bone is not just minerals it’s

protein so these are just some of the

effects of poor protein digestion

because you don’t have the hydrochloric

acid and you can have other symptoms of

low stomach acid like gas which is

beautification or the inability for

protein to digest alright so what do we

do about it well here’s some remedies

apple cider vinegar there’s so many

people that take outside of vinegar that

feel better with their joints and this

is why it helps you digest protein so

there’s many ways you can take it you

can take it in a pill form you can mix

it with water like a tablespoon in water

drinking with a straw

next remedy would be something called

betaine hydrochloride the hydrochloride

splits off and helps you make

hydrochloric acid it’s a natural remedy

I put a link down below of a remedy that

I recommend that combines apple cider

vinegar with betaine hydrochloride

that’s really good to acidify the

stomach as well 3 potassium you need

potassium to make Hartig lauric acid

thus the large quantities of the

vegetables that you need to be eating in

addition to everything else on the keto

program ok and then we have sea salt

which provides for the raw material to

make our dough chloric acid so it not

only has sodium chloride but it has a

lot of other minerals too now if you

have inflammation in the stomach called

gastritis or an ulcer if you take these

two you’re gonna feel worse it’s gonna

feel like it’s burning okay in which

case you would want to help heal the

ulcer or sue the ulcer with believenot

cabbage has a certain factor to help

heal the stomach wheatgrass juice powder

is also really good to provide

chlorophyll to heal the inner line

the stomach and the small intestine so

you might want to take that for awhile

even months before you introduce these

to acidify errs okay but that would be

the thing you’d want to do heal it and

then acidify it and then things are

going to do a lot better now on a rare

occasion you might need to fortify the

other part of the digestive system with

a good probiotic the one that I

recommend is called effective microbes

okay eeehm effective my microbes I don’t

have a brand you can just look it up and

you would want to take it’s in a liquid

so you just take like a half a teaspoon

in some water before you go to bed and

take that over time that seems to help

build up the lactic acid in the

intestines which greatly take the stress

off the hydrochloric acid so they both

work together alright thanks for

watching so we’ve been getting a lot of

success stories but I don’t have your

success story yet so click the link down

below and upload you before and after I

want to actually hear about your success

story I want to see your
