If you have acid reflux, heartburn, or GERD, this is the video for you.

When you look up the official cause of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disorder) it will tell you it’s because of loss of pressure between the sphincter on top of the stomach and the stomach.

When you look up the cause of heartburn it will say it’s a symptom of GERD caused by acid reflux. What? The cause of acid reflux is officially “not sure”. Could be pregnancy. Or smoking, obesity, or a hiatal hernia.

Because there’s so little clarity people end up managing their own symptoms with medications such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, and H2 receptor blockers. All of these reduce the acid in your stomach but they have some potentially serious side effects including but not limited to:

●C diff (a bacterial infection)
●Osteoporosis
●Kidney stones
●Vomiting
●Allergies
●Achlorhydria, which can occur with all three of these types of medications

Let’s take a closer look at achlorhydria, a condition in which you have no more stomach acid. Its side effects include:

●GERD
●Acid reflux
●Heartburn
●Decreased B12
●Constipation
●Decreased magnesium
●Decreased zinc

So the medications that cause achlorhydria are in turn causing acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD.

Too much stomach acid results in different conditions such as sour stomach and acid stomach which could lead to gastritis. The normal stomach pH is 1-3 out of a scale that goes to 14. You can’t get a more acidic fluid than 1! So it’s not too much acid, the problem is acid that’s splashing up into the esophagus because of the valve that isn’t properly closing. It’s controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Which means we really have an autonomic nervous system problem which is then wrongly treated with antacids.

So let’s take another look at the causes of achlorhydria. They include the microbe H pylori which depletes stomach acid. As well, they include decreased zinc, decreased potassium and sodium, and decreased chlorides among others.

Since achlorhydria causes the 3 conditions, what happens if we add acid back into the stomach? The conditions go away. Take apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride to help heal acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD along with the nutrients mentioned above.
