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
