The "TRUTH" about "ANTACIDS"

So, we discovered this week . . . that the "stomach" needs to have a healthy "acidic" level between 1.5 and 3.5 on the pH balance scale . . . for optimal health.

And therefore . . . giving it the ability to digest our food proper . . . and kill any bad bacteria or pathogens (like H. pylori) . . . that might have been on or in the food we consumed.

And "if" you remember from our series about H. pylori . . . we can "even" get this bacteria from . . . kissing our partner or our pets . . .

We've also discovered that this Western diet and our lifestyle choices . . . "RAISES" that "acidic" level ABOVE the normal 1.5 to 3.5 . . . causing our stomach acid to become more "alkaline" ABOVE the 3.5 . . . meaning 4.0 and/or above.

And with this . . . we experience symptom like . . .

Acid reflux

Heartburn

Belching

Indigestion

Esophagus issues

and even Sinus issues

So, now . . . Conventional medicine prescribes . . . "ANTACIDS" to relieve the "burning" and discomfort of these symptoms.

BUT . . . the PROBLEM is this . . .

When "stomach acid levels" . . . RISE to a higher pH level . . . meaning ABOVE 4.0 on the pH scale . . .

That "acid level" is NOT "HOTTER" . . . IT'S COOLER!!!!

And this NOW . . . ALLOWS . . . "bad" bacteria and pathogen that were on the food . . . and/or in the body to GROW and FLOURISH.

ONLY a range of 1.5 to 3.5 can KILL them!!!!

And it's this "BAD" BACTERIA . . . that actually causes the discomfort of the symptoms above.

Not the "actual" acid . . . per say

But . . . with that being said . . . "stomach acid" . . . is NOW ALLOWED to back up into the esophagus causing . . . what we THINK are our issues.

You see . . . "IF" . . . stomach acid in the range of 1.5 to 3.5 . . . were "actually" pushed up into the esophagus . . . we wouldn't have an esophagus left.

It would "burn" it beyond repair!!!!

Why you ask???

Well . . . the esophagus actually has a pH balance of "7" . . . neutral like the rest of the body.

So, why do "ANTACIDS" give us temporary relieve you ask???

Because . . "ANTACIDS" are a 8 to 10 on the pH scale . . . very "ALKALINE"!!!.

Which is "way above" our normal, natural, HEALTHY neutral in the esophagus and body.

So, I'm going to continue this information and series of health tips . . . through the weekend and next week . . . because we NEED to understand . . . WHY "antacids" are killing us!!!
