Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 Thanks for all who replied to my inquiry, especially that ROFL image if you all puckered-up, Lisbeth! #; ) I've decided that since I expect to be off the prednisone in the next few weeks anyway, I'll wait for that and step up treatment with slippery elm before trying it. In the meantime, a big mug of hot water with a generous squeeze of lemon sounds like a good appetizer before meals. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 > Subject: Re:HCI > > What is HCI, and what does it do? I think it's hydrochloric acid, it's something the body produces naturally to digest foods, esp. proteins? Many of us don't have enough of it as we get older. Pretty sure if I'm reading your " letters " correctly that's what it is. L.

Yeah, we don't have enough as we age. I think that drinking some vinegar water either before or with your meals helps. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may start it again. Dr. Cabot recommends it because it helps start your liver to cleansing first thing. I would only use 1/2 of either lemon or lime.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I think A that vinegar can be bad if you are too acidic, and you can also buy HCI pills, I was taking a supplement called Digestizyme it had HCI in it, I think it is made by Energique. also maybe try checking your ph. >From: " " <dmagic@...> >Reply-gallstones ><gallstones > >Subject: Re: HCI >Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 11:00:55 -0700 (Pacific Standard Time) > >thanks susie and rachel. i'll try the vinegar water,. > > > > >-------Original Message------- > >From: gallstones >Date: Monday, July 14, 2003 10:43:54 AM >gallstones >Subject: Re: HCI > >think it's hydrochloric acid, it's something the body >produces naturally to digest foods, esp. proteins? > >Yeah, we don't have enough as we age.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Take 2 teaspoons of vinegar in tall glass of water with 1 teaspoon honey is the proportions for this drink. I will share another good thing about the AC vinegar. I was sick at my stomach and as soon as I had emptied it, I quickly made a glass of 1 tablespoon of ACV in about 16 ounces of water and drank it. Then ran back to the bathroom. When it came back it was not bitter or burning. I took another and only lost part of it. It kills the bitter acid in the stomach and cleans the stomach of the bad stuff. I drank an other glass just to have something in my stomach. It works every time too. Do not use honey at this time. Lemon is good to alkalize the body too. > if not vinegar, does lemon also apply? when i went to the health store they > did not know what hci is. how do i check my ph? is it simple, not > complicated? thanks, please understand i am new at all of this. guess i > ll have to thank my doctor for SOMETHING. like letting me know i had > gallstones. > > > > -------Original Message------- > > From: gallstones > Date: Monday, July 14, 2003 12:02:08 PM > gallstones > Subject: Re: HCI > > I think A that vinegar can be bad if you are too acidic, and you can also > buy HCI pills, I was taking a supplement called Digestizyme it had HCI in > it, I think it is made by Energique. also maybe try checking your ph. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 do you have allergies? My allergist told me that an upset stomach is often a symptom of allergies. It can either be an allergy to a food, or a nasal allergy and the stomach upset is caused by the drainage of mucous into the stomach (post-nasal drip). Whenever I have an upset stomach now (or if one of my children complain of stomach upset) I take vitamin C or eat pickles or oranges -- something acidic to help digest all that mucous and yuck in my stomach. It works wonders. At one time my " food allergies " were so bad I couldn't eat more than a couple tablespoonsful of food at a time (two crackers or a couple of ounces of juice)... but since I've started taking lots of vitamin C I have never again had that bloated-ready-to-explode feeling in my stomach. I try to avoid wheat, but if I slip up or can't resist something I load up on vitamin C and my system takes care of the problem foods. I also use a homeopathic allergy remedy on occasion -- especially if I am exposed to a lot of dust -- and it helps a lot, too.

In the case of lemon, if it is natural and not pasteurized processed lemon juice, it becomes alkili in the digestion process. L.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 my understanding of acid/alkaline issues is fairly limited but here is some info from what i know, when people talk about foods being acid or alkaline, they are talking about the effect they have on the body, or the burnt residue of the food or ash. this is covered in arnold ehret's mucousless healing system. according to ehret all raw fruits and vegetgables are alkaline ash, or mucousless, in that they have the properties of alkalizing the body. so while lemon is obviously and acidic food, it contains minerals and enzymes that ultimately cleanse the body and leave it more alkaline. keep in mind that this issue is far from simple. there are alchemical processes that happen all over the body that are not fully understood. as some minerals and electrolytes can transmute into eachother. also there can be pockets of acidity all over the body. so we might have a situation where there is a tumor that is acidic, or impacted waste in the intestine that is acidic, and still have a normal saliva or urine ph. ph will also vary greatly depending on the most recent meal. we might find a seemingly acidic condition in the blood or urine during a healing crisis, which is while the body is in the process of becoming more alkaline. so where in the process one is is also of importance. for these reasons, i pay very little attention to acid/alkaline issues if i feel like eating fruit i eat it. if i feel like eating meat i eat it. meat contains minerals that can alkalize the body. whereas some people contend that meat will putrefy in the intestines and cause acidity. then again there is the blood type diet that contends that food compatibility is more important than whether a food is alkaline or not. then there is the raw food theory. the list goes on and on things are rarely simple in the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
