At least one of the clinics in Mexico use hydrochloric Acid to help the pH

level of the body. Many enzyme formulas that are great for cancer treatments

have this as part of the formula.

Doesn't Dr. Swilling use that in his Genisis West Clinic In Playas

?

And seem to recall ascorbate acid and DMSO IV's

Mike-

Hopefully the upcoming article Bill posted about will shed some more

light on this. The original post that I read said injecting HCL in

dilute amount would cause the blood to balance itself- whether it be too

acid or alkaline.

Kind of like the juice of a lemon in a glass of filtered water on an

empty stomach being able to make us more alkaline.

I still don't really have a handle on this yet. The original post can

be found at www.keelynet.com I think it's under biology or it can be

found by searching under HCL.

I've tried to find some of the citations but have had no luck. The main

researcher appeared to be an R. R. .

Bill K.- thanks for posting that info on the upcoming article, I hope it

sheds more light on the subject. As widely read as you appear to be, I

thought you might have come across something.... I was happy to see

it!! :-)

I Bless You and Bless You with All Good,

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The following was sent to us here at KeelyNet in the form of a

photocopied paper with very fine print. It follows what we

believe, that most complicated systems or problems result from what

are essentially simple, easily correctable problems. This holds

true for medical, health, free energy, anti-grav and the host of

subjects that interest us here at KeelyNet. In science, this is

called reductionism, reducing things down to their most basic form.

We urge you to pass this file along to medical practitioners and

others interested in the base causes of disease.

HCL (dilute Hydrochloric Acid) Therapy

author unknown

In general terms it could be said that the response of a sick

individual to accept the therapeutic measures whether they be

serums, vaccines, X-ray, radium, surgery, intravenous medications,

blood transfusions, glandular therapies, re-mineralization,

vitamin therapies, hyperpyrexias, refrigeration, osteopathic or

chiropractic manipulations, the new wonder drugs, and so forth,

the best we could say of those is that they are of a hit or miss

proposition.

To date, no branch of the healing arts has as yet found a logical

or truly scientific basis on which to study the cause or treatment

of functional chronic or degenerative disease. The practitioner

frustrated by lack of satisfactory physical and mental response

among chronic patients has been skimping in his efforts to

rehabilitate them. However, he can and does justify his mere

routine consideration with the thought that the acutely ill need

all of his time and attention and that the chronics whom he

generally dismisses as hypochondriacs will manage somehow to get

along. This attitude for sometime has deeply concerned both

medical and public health men who are in a position to know the

facts. Why is there this appalling and utter disregard for

treatment of the chronic patient?

The medical man claims dogmatically, " I am the true physician and

mine is the correct approach of therapeusis. " However, major

aspects of the general public are continually faced with

incompetent diagnosis such as just plain nerves, or neurasthenia,

or nervous digestion, or exhaustion of nervous energy,

or nervous dyspepsia, or nervous stomach, or hypochondriasis,

or psychoneurosis, or essential hypertension, or general asthenia,

or imaginitis, and let it go at that. There is no question but

that American medicine and its allied healing arts have utterly

failed in their mission. We have for some reason allowed our

medical practice to lag at least 50 years behind the times and are

not only content with, but are insisting upon, the same old

unnatural therapeutic approaches to the chronic disorders of age.

Adequate medical care, the traditional American dream is not even

obtainable by the very rich!

We must attribute this failure to the fact that in the study of

chronic and degenerative disease, for too long a time, medical

science has passionately and blindly concerned itself with the

study of end results without due consideration of first, the manner

in which your health comes about, and second, the physiological

alterations that are occasioned long before tissue pathology sets

in and thirdly, the environmental conditions which have contributed

to its development and fourthly, that the disease is not a separate

entity or process all by itself but rather that it effects and is

effected in turn by the organism as a whole.

The pathological anatomy, the visible or palpable changes in the

structure that is found in the organs and tissues of the body was,

and still is, the foundation of practice of those who have not kept

abreast of the changes that modern science has brought about. And

yet there is a basic phenomenon which occurs over and over again in

the practice lives of physicians and healers. Every practitioner

at one time or another has seen or heard about one or more persons

ill with an acute disease hopelessly beyond human aid or of others

afflicted with an incurable chronic disease to have been able in

some inexplicable manner to reverse the vital processes of injury

and repair, action and reaction so that the body having acquired

natural immunity, or shall we say having increased the body's

resistance, there results an increasing cellular or tissue reaction

followed by destruction of the invader, restoration of balance,

repair of all injured and diseased tissues and a seemingly

miraculous recovery takes place.

As yet no one has come forward with an intelligent explanation

except to call them spontaneous recoveries, or better yet MIRACLES.

-------

In search for a remedy that would stimulate the reticulo-

endothelial systems of the body, I performed a number of

experiments. One experiment was to introduce a number of

substances under the cover-glass slip of the microscope slide

while observing the red, white, and bacterial cells under dark

field microscopy.

I experimented with serial dilutions of EDTA as a chelator and

hydrochloric acid (HCL) as a reducer. Once I had the dilutions

down to the point where red cell damage did not occur visibly

I made the discovery that I was looking for.

Two things were obvious by direct vision of the infected human

blood before my eyes:

1) The EDTA dissolved the bacteria.

2) The hydrochloric acid increased the activity of

the white blood cell.

The white cell observation was astounding and led me to a search of

the worlds literature on the use of hydrochloric acid in the human

body. The reports that came in were old but fascinating, I had no

alternative but to begin to give myself the treatment and watch the

changes in my own blood.

A number of excellent reports were made by Drs. B. Ferguson, W.B.

Guy, I. Howell, W.G. Brymer, M.A. Craig, A.M. , F.J. ,

O.P. Sweatt, R.L. Sills and E.D. , and perhaps the largest

concentration to the world's literature was by R.R. .

It was on the strength of their efforts and the years of clinical

work done by my mentor Dr. Black that I made this profound

discovery.

When hydrochloric acid is injected into the body in very dilute,

physiologic amounts, the white blood cell systems increase their

activity, the blood pH returns to normal regardless of whether it

is too acid or too alkaline and the number of white cells increase.

-------

What follows are some random thoughts on this subject.

The most obvious clinical observation in the treatment of an acute

infectious disease with the use of hydrochloric acid is that a

greater phagocytic activity is imparted to the white cells by the

injection of the dilute solution of hydrochloric acid into the

bloodstream, and that the activity varies in intensity with

different individuals. It proved to be a very important factor in

the improvement of the state of resistance of the organism.

Leukocytes and phagocytosis, important as they are, are but a link

in a chain of events of its defense mechanism to combat disease,

whether it be acute, chronic or degenerative. As part of the

natural mechanism of defense and repair we can make several

observations in the acute disease. The body must marshall all of

the forces of the defensive mechanism in order to sustain the

successful struggle in the favorable cases. The unfavorable

conditions are increasing injury and diminishing reaction. These

must be changed to increasing reaction and diminishing injury with

destruction and ultimate repair of the injured and diseased tissue.

In order to accomplish this effectively there must take place an

adequate febrile reaction to bring about attenuation of the

invading pathogenic microorganisms, rapid elimination of

accumulated bacterial and normal production of hydrochloric acid

in the stomach. There must be an increased presence in the

bloodstream of the acid responsible for the maintenance of a

normal pH. Obviously in the treatment of any disease process we

must do away with all predisposing conditions such as malnutrition

and local infection. We must bring about elimination of all

accumulated bacterial and metabolic poisons. There must take place

restoration of tissue susceptibility, the production of

hydrochloric acid -- whether too much, or too little, or none at

all, and its presence in the bloodstream -- must be restored to

normal.

In other words a physiological balance must be restored. It is

reasonable to believe that the acid-base balance of the blood is

maintained through the acid cells, and since hydrochloric acid is

the only inorganic acid normally made in the body, that it is to

this acid specifically that we must attribute the apparent acidic

response of the white cells. When this condition of physiologic

balance exists the individual is in the state of absolute immunity.

He is in good health and in the possession of a normal pH in the

bloodstream and other fluids in the body. The normal pH in itself

is what could constitute what is generally known as a natural

immunity. Certain organs and tissues possess an ability to modify

their own immunity make up or local defense mechanism. These seem

to be governed by a normal production of HCL in the stomach and a

normal pH in the bloodstream. Consider continuity of the skin

covering, with its acid mantle, the acidity of the stomach

contents, the defense mechanisms within the nasal passages, the

secretions and linings of the eyes, mouth, intestinal tract,

female and male genital urinary tracts, and at times the presence

of specific immunity.

It is well known that practically everyone is harboring at various

times in the membranes of the throat, mouth and nasal tract the

germs of influenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever, croop, measles, mumps

and other contagions without becoming a victim of the disease

itself. It is also known that in order that infection shall

develop it is not only necessary that the bacteria grow in the

tissues but it is necessary that they injure the tissue and thus

induce the reaction of disease. This they do at times by producing

injurious substances in sufficient quantities, that is, bacterial

forms.

The presence of a normal production of hydrochloric acid and its

presence in the bloodstream and other fluids of the body is the

agent responsible for the acidity of the white cells and the

maintenance of a normal pH. It is the agent that renders the

fluids and tissues of the body bactericidal and unfavorable as a

media. The more the white cells are maintained in a phagocytic

state the better is the natural immunity.

( HCL and EDTA have both been used with DMSO to get these

substances in the blood stream without the usual shots. DMSO

can often be obtained in Health Food stores and Vet Suppliers.

Diluted with 50% sterile water some treat themselves.....

Such treatment CANNOT BE CONDONED of course, and any medical

problems are best taken care of by private physicians....G )

An infection can go in only so many ways. It can either be

aborted, arrested, or carried on a successful termination. In the

treatment of all functional metabolic, endocrine, allergic, chronic

and degenerative disease, once the production of hydrochloric acid

becomes restored to normal there takes place a restoration of the

normal acid base balance, reversal of the vital processes, followed

by repair of all injured and diseased tissues with restoration of

good health. When the production of hydrochloric acid falls short,

a fact easily demonstrable by laboratory techniques and which may

be observed to take place at birth or at any time during our

natural expanse of life, the conditions of hyper-chlorhydria,

hypo-chlorhydria or achlorhydria take place. This deficiency in

hydrochloric acid production may be temporary or permanent in

character, and may be brought about by one or more predisposing

factors such as malnutrition, focal infection, chronic poisoning,

exposure, fatigue, emotional distress, shock and so forth.

A better understanding of the concept of disease and immunity can

be had by evaluating a few of the things that we are known about

immunity. First of all, antibodies are as specific as the

organisms which have called them into existence. Second, the

bactericidal power manifested by blood serum of man or animal

toward all microorganisms outside the body is not dependent on the

presence or absence of specific antibodies. Thirdly, the presence

of immune bodies does not convey absolute immunity against a

specific disease -- and fourth, when invasion takes place and the

reactions of disease manifest, the disease may be mild although not

infrequently may be severe irrespective of the presence or absence

of immune bodies.

The question that follows is how can we explain the inherent value

of specific immunity and the manner in which it affords protection?

Why does this protection fail so frequently? It is possible that

[specific immunity] comes into play only when [natural immunity]

has failed to prevent invasion? The leukocytes, or the white blood

cells, are factors which aid or supplement the natural immunity.

At times, however, when the virulence of the invading pathogen and

the influx of toxins into the bloodstream is of such a preponderant

nature, the immune bodies become overpowered. The excess toxins

not only paralyze or shock the white cells into inactivity but they

also bring about tissue injury and the resultant reactions of

disease. Many times in doing dark field microscopy of individual's

blood, I have found massive accumulations of L-form bacteria and

yet the white blood cells are completely dormant, non-motile,

non-phagocytic and huddled up in a little ball doing nothing.

Good health and the presence of absolute immunity depend on the

existence of a normal production of hydrochloric acid and its

presence in the bloodstream and other fluids of the body. When

the HCL production falls short, and a progressive diminution takes

place, we find a loss of absolute immunity, a decreasing degree of

tissue susceptibility, an imbalance of blood chemistry, and poor

digestion and assimilation. This is the starting point of general

ill-health and malnutrition. It is a logical assumption that a

lack of sufficient minerals in the daily diet must of necessity

give rise to a deficiency in the hydrochloric acid production.

It is known that certain salts, such as potassium, are needed by

the glands responsible for its production.

It is also known that when the hydrochloric acid production falls

short the required amount necessary to maintain the acidity of

the white cells and the acid-base balance becomes insufficient,

hydrogen chloride eventually vanishes from the circulation. When

hydrogen chloride disappears from the circulation some other acid

must take its place immediately in order to maintain the pH of the

circulating fluids. The acid wastes assume the role of hydrogen

chloride in the blood chemistry. This is followed by an imbalance

of the blood chemistry.

The acid wastes can not be thrown off as quickly as they are formed

so they begin to accumulate in the fluids and tissues of the body

with the resultant struggle between these and the alkaline reserve.

The result is a depletion of the latter.

Functional disorders of a metabolic, endocrine and allergic nature

and the condition of acidosis become manifest. The person loses

his natural immunity and is highly prone to develop focal infection

followed by acute disease. In this depleted condition they lack

the necessary reserve to destroy the invading microorganisms

completely.

It has been well established that in all cases of malnutrition the

condition of acidosis is always present. There follows a reduction

of physiologic functions and the EVER INCREASING accumulation of

acid metabolic wastes in the bloodstream. The hydrogen chloride

production becomes diminished. The hydrogen ions necessary for

the maintenance of a normal pH fall short and sooner or later

hydrochloric acid is replaced by the waste acids in the maintenance

of the acid base balance. These acid wastes include carbonic acid,

diacetic acid, lactic acid, acetic acids, fatty acids, uric acid,

etc. These acid wastes however, are abnormal constituents of the

bloodstream and will act as a disruptor of the natural blood

chemistry.

When hydrochloric acid vanishes from the circulation hypersecretion

of hydrochloric acid takes place in the gastric cells responsible

for its production. A condition known as hyperchlorhydria

supervenes. The excessive secretion of hydrogen chloride is but

an effort on the part of nature to restore its presence in the

bloodstream by sheer force of numbers. Sooner or later however,

the gastric cells begin to tire and the component chemistry begin

to dwindle. Thus the production of hydrogen chloride begins to

fall short. Focal infection pours a continuous stream of bacterial

poisons into the blood stream bringing about a diminution and

ultimately a disappearance of hydrogen chloride from the

circulation with a resultant loss of phagocytic activity. There

then follows an extension of the primary focus to one or more parts

of the body creating newer disease processes and newer foci of

infection and the probability of a chronic poisoning such as lead,

arsenic, monoxide gas, narcotics, alcohol -- and so accumulation of

the absorbed poisons plus the acid metabolic wastes causes a

resultant condition of acidemia.

There follows a deficiency of HCL production, malnutrition, loss of

tissue susceptibility and thus the general causation formulation

that leads to the chronic and degenerative disease. Recent studies

in Germany and in this country demonstrate that cancer, diabetes,

acute infection, neurosis, passive congestions, gastric catarrh,

severe anemia, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, chemical poisoning,

affections of the heart, neoplastic growths, metabolic and

endocrine disorders, senile insanities, dyspepsia, chronic ulcers

of the stomach and duodenum, cholecystitis, appendicitis,

duodenitis, worry, anxiety and pyloric obstruction show pronounced

changes in the hydrochloric acid production. Too much, too little

or none at all.

Statistical surveys have been made of the gastric acidity of

patients of all ages and it was found that 25-30% of those over

the age of 45 showed no free or combined hydrochloric acid. The

incidence of achlorhydria in the whole series of more than 3,000

patients examined was more than 10%. We know that pepsin is

inactive unless a considerable amount of hydrochloric acid is

present. We also know that very few bacteria can survive the acid

conditions in the stomach and that the gastric juice partially

sterilizes the food preventing putrifaction during the gastric

phase of digestion. Without acid in the stomach the benefit of

this action is not obtained.

Let us consider the protective agencies of the animal organism but

instead of talking about antibodies, vaccines, antitoxins, immunity

of the blood, dietary regimens, etc., let us go to rock bottom and

consider the very essential mineral elements of which our body is

composed. It is generally believed that organic life began in the

saline ocean many eons ago and that the chemical formula of that

ocean, of the blood serum, and the temperature of the body have not

changed materially since that time. That the ocean is generally

always free from corruption no matter how many of its animals die

within it, is probably due to its chlorine content. Chlorine

related not only to sodium chloride but also to the chlorides of

magnesium, calcium, and other minerals present.

Let us study the part that chlorine plays in the digestion of food

and its absorption into the body tissues. Chlorine may be found

free as hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice or combined with

albumin in albuminosis or it may be found united with sodium

chiefly in the fluids of the body and with potassium in the solids.

Potassium was also found as a chloride by preference in

morphological elements like blood corpuscles, muscle cells, etc.

Calcium chloride is found in the gastric juice as a secondary

product. Hydrochloric acid favors the excretion of calcium

phosphates.

The normal gastric juice in man contains some two to three parts of

hydrochloric acid per thousand. In healthy dogs five parts is

found.

It is curious that a healthy dog can eat septic meat and if its

stomach is opened one half hour later the foul odor of the meat

will be found sterile. The acidity and the germicidal quality of

the chlorides perform this action. Too often; however acidity of

the stomach is not due to an excess of hydrochloric acid but rather

to an excess of lactic acid -- and if content of the stomach is

alkaline, oxibuteric, diacetic and other acids due to putrefaction

processes are present. What is true of lactic acid is also true of

the other organic acids such as butyric, formic, and acetic, all of

which are especially abundant where there is stagnation of gastric

contents due to pyloric obstruction. Hydrochloric acid is the ONLY

normal inorganic acid in the body's economy. All other acids such

as lactic, carbonic, uric, etc. are WASTE PRODUCTS eliminated as

quickly as possible. The normal acid would be the most likely one

to accomplish this end.

If we have too great an excess of carbonic acid we have COMA, as in

diabetes or later stages of pneumonia.

If the uric acid is too high we have deposits in the valves, the

arteries and articular surfaces.

When the hydrochloric acid content of the gastric juice is

deficient or absent we must expect grave results which will

inevitably appear in the human metabolism.

First of all we shall see an increasing and gradual starvation of

the mineral elements in the food supply. The food will be

incompletely digested and failure of assimilation must occur.

Secondly, a septic process of the tissues will appear, pyorrhea,

dyspepsia, nephritis, appendicitis, boils, abscesses, pneumonia,

etc. will become increasingly manifest. Again a normal gastric

fluid demands activity of the gallbladder contents and of the

pancreas for neutralization. Deficiency of normal acids leads to

a stagnation of these organs, leading to diabetes and GALLSTONES.

In the absence of or in a great deficiency of hydrochloric acid

we find a rise in the multitudinous degenerative reaction which

prepares the way to all forms of degenerative disease. What then

are the causes of hydrochloric acid disappearance in the gastric

fluid following eating of food?

-------

We have discovered that hydrochloric acid secretion may be

completely SUPPRESSED by emotion or worry -- and in these days of

emotional worry and distress, loss of homes, business, income and

monies, we may well fear that in the near future a great increase

of degenerative diseases such as cancer, nephritis, cardiac,

nervous and mental afflictions must assuredly occur unless man can

rise above worldly affairs and find the true and only source of

contentment and happiness.

When one considers that this normal acid, hydrochloric acid, is

derived from the tissues of the stomach or gastric membrane and

not directly from the sodium chloride of the blood, one readily

realizes that an ample supply of sodium chloride alone is

insufficient to restore normal gastric acidity. Rather, that it

is instead a complex process. The sodium atom is picked up and

combined with the phosphorous atom giving rise to sodium phosphate

which must be eliminated thus allowing the chlorine atom to be set

free. The chlorine atom combines with the potassium and other

minerals and albumins in the gastric acid and is made ready for

future digestive functions.

In my estimation it is not in the life of the cell that the secret

to malignancies is to be found, but rather in THE MEDIA IN WHICH

THE CELL LIVES and the nerves that control it.

Cell growth is materially influenced by the nerve centers of the

spinal cord. This is undoubtedly true as is shown by the rapid

wasting of the cellular tissue when involvement of the anterior

horns of the spinal cord occurs in infantile paralysis and

progressive muscular atrophy. Such being the case, a toxin

causing destruction of the inhibiting control of cell growth,

probably present in the posterior spinal nerve centers, would allow

wild growth of cell life. Therefore, neoplasms in all of their

multitudinous forms and a general failure of the antiseptic powers

of the blood serum could bring about what is known as malignancy.

We see cancerous growths frequently appearing when the blood

pressure is low indicating a beginning failure of the adrenal

system to combat toxemia. When hypertension is present the other

group of degenerative diseases makes itself evident.

What can we conclude? That normal hydrochloric acid is necessary

for complete healthy digestion, that deficiency of this acid tends

to sepsis, suppuration, and general toxemia; that if adrenals are

inactive degenerative forms of disease usually appear; that if the

adrenals are impaired, malignant neoplasms may be expected; that

neoplasms are most likely caused by failure of the inhibitory nerve

control probably located in the posterior nerve centers of the

spinal cord; that emotional worry, grief, anxiety, depression are

factors to be considered as causes of acid deficiency of gastric

fluid, and thus give rise to many conditions causing degenerative

processes in alkalescence so commonly found in cancerous disease.

-------

What is acidosis? An accumulation of acid or a diminution of the

pH reaction. But what acid? We can glibly say, carbonic acid in

the blood or lactic acid in the tissue, uric acid in the joints and

blood vessels, lactic, diacetic, butyric in the stomach or

intestines, etc. We may even visualize hepatic acids in the liver,

but unless we know why these acids appear in excess and their

relation to alkalosis, we shall never be able to understand their

true significance or marshall our remedies effectively against them.

The only normal acid in the animal body is hydrochloric acid found

in the gastric juice. All other acids are waste products. The

carbonic acid of the breath is created by the oxidation of the

lactic acid of the tissues and therefore an excess of lactic acid

is a failure to oxidize this acid sufficiently. In diseases such

as cancer, tuberculosis and fevers, this failure of complete

oxidation is present. The amino acids are but stages of food

digestion and when present in excess show an impaired hepatic and

pancreatic function. The most pernicious form of acidosis is

that produced when a stoppage occurs in the duodenum or pylorus.

In this condition the hydrochloric acid of the gastric fluid

disappears and other acids such as the acetic, butyric, and lactic

take its place. The condition of chlorine of the blood is usually

diminished, the urea is increased and the capacity of the blood to

combine with carbon dioxide is increased.

Achlorhydria occurs in some cases of apparently healthy persons and

in many cases of gastrointestinal disease. It is also stressed

that it appears frequently in diabetes and with still greater

frequency in thyrotoxicosis as well as in certain nonmegalocytic

hypochondriac anemias. Absence of hydrochloric acid in the gastric

juice is a common symptom in depressive neuroses. It is frequently

associated with mental fatigue, persistent worry and strain

especially in persons with a congenital unstable psyche. The

symptoms are very vague, lack of appetite, fullness after eating,

gaseous eructations and diarrhea is more common than constipation.

Pain is absent.

Hydrochloric acid reacts with the duodenal membrane to produce a

hormone called secretin which stimulates the pancreas to release

insulin, increase the formation of bile and upgrade the activity of

the gallbladder. If we were to summarize the sequence of events

occurring as a result of hydrochloric acid deficiency we would list

the following:

Improper digestion

Fermentation and later putrifaction

Reduced absorption

Reduced liver and pancreas function

Ulcer formation

Elevated blood sugar

Reduced oxidation of lactic acid

Retention of carbon dioxide

Reduced activity of the white blood cells

Reduced destruction of bacteria

Unbalanced mineral levels

Improper digestion means an unbalanced assimilation, an unbalanced

mineral content of the body. What are some of the symptoms of

mineral imbalance?

First a surplus of sodium. This is following by tissues that are

too watery and a tendency toward edema and asthma, flabby muscles

and a lack of chlorine.

A deficiency of calcium means an excess of sodium and a deficiency

of potassium. Lack of hydrochloric is the main cause of alkalosis.

When the cellular tissue are too alkaline, the fatty acids tend to

disintegrate and give off glycerol. It is interesting to note

that the Progenitoracae -- a series of bacteria similar to the

Actinomycetales which are similar to the Microbacteria which is

the Tuberculosis bacillus -- that all of these grow rapidly in

glycerin or sugar medias. It is also interesting that fluorine is

the most potent inhibitor of the enzyme enolase. When this enzyme

is inhibited, it causes the intake of carbohydrate to be shunted

into the production of Glyceryl instead of being combusted as fuel

energy. In this way industrial fluoride pollution aggravates

infection. If an alkaline condition exists in the body and is

accompanied by a physiologic overcompensation of the gastric

chief cells, an unaware physician, or the patient himself, may

inadvertently dose himself with alkali antacids. This results in

an aggravation of the existing alkalosis and could force the body

into a compensatory acid production within the tissues.

The net result of this activity is the production of toxemia and

the reduction of the final line of defense and repair.

I have made repeated reference to the inactivity of the white

blood cells.

It is interesting to note that within two hours of the injection of

hydrogen chloride intravenously, 32% of the white cells were

showing pronounced phagocytic activity and engulfing

microorganisms. Twenty-four hours after the injection phagocytic

activity showed that 69% of the white cells were in phagocytic

activity.

The average human has 7000-8000 white blood cells per milliliter of

blood. Projected out for a 160 pound male with six liters of blood

we would arrive at a white blood cell population of around 48

billion cells. With the use of hydrochloride injections we can

predictably increase the white blood cell population by another

2000 milliliter and add around 10 billion more cells into the

fight, whatever it may be.

We, of course, know that there are many things which can produce a

similar reaction. Gamma globulin, pancreatic extracts, nucleic

acids and so on. But none of these is as effective or as

physiologic as hydrochloric acid.

To show the tremendous support for healing such a therapy can be,

consider this case.

An individual who had ulcers in the duodenum and pyloric for 22

years. X-ray confirmed an active state of one of the lesions.

He received 10 injections of hydrogen chloride and all evidence

of the peptic ulcer disappeared.

It is probable that several hormones influencing the motions of the

intestine and its accessory organs are liberated when the acid

gastric juice containing digested food comes in contact with the

duodenal mucous membrane. We know that iron salts precipitate in

a neutral or slightly alkaline medium and thus the presence of

hydrochloric acid in the stomach serves a useful purpose in those

who are being given iron for the treatment of anemia.

We know that Vitamin B-1 is unstable in neutral or alkaline

solutions and for this reason hydrochloric acid plays some part in

the efficient utilization of this substance given orally. By

preventing the decomposition of thiamine which would otherwise take

place in the achlorhydric stomach, hydrochloric acid allows the

full amount taken into the stomach to reach the duodenum.

All disease processes, whether functional, metabolic, endocrine,

allergic, acute, chronic or degenerative are accompanied by the

condition of acidosis and the deficiency of the hydrochloric acid

production. It goes without saying that the longer that ill health

is permitted to exist in the body, the less capable the tissues

become to respond to physiological stimuli. Use of hydrogen

chloride therapy in rheumatism and arthritis is rather rewarding.

In the treatment of acute articular rheumatism it is imperative

that treatment be started immediately. If treatment is given when

only one joint is effected the process can be stopped right there

and then. In the treatment of arthritis we give intravenous

injections of dilute hydrochloric acid solution daily for about

three weeks. When the pain has subsided we proceed to eliminate or

cure all focal infections such as abscessed teeth, infected tonsils

and turbinates, an infected or lacerated cervix, prostate glands

and rectal crypts, etc.

Carbon monoxide has an affinity for hemoglobin 300 times as strong

as that of oxygen. We have found the use of an injection of dilute

hydrochloric acid intravenously will accelerate the release of

carbon monoxide from the hemoglobin.

It is well known that a certain reserve of alkaline salts is

necessary to normal physiology, and that among many functions which

might be mentioned, the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange is

carried on through the presence of an optimal amount of alkalies in

the blood. Decrease this reserve and oxidation becomes materially

reduced.

Actually the amount of oxidation going on in the cells or tissues

does not depend on the quantity of oxygen absorbed or on the amount

available in the blood, but rather on the capacity of the tissues

to use it. The nature of this catalyst or enzyme is not clearly

determined but most physiologists at present recognize that some

such agent is a catalyst is necessary for normal oxidation. It

appears likely that the presence of hydrogen chloride in the

maintenance of the acid base balance is responsible for this normal

oxidation. Here is an interesting case history from the annals of

medicine.

A very sick woman was seen on a house-call basis. Upon examination

her temperature was found to be 100 degrees, respiration 56, pulse

160, she was highly toxic, cyanotic with a glassy glare in her eyes

and she was unconscious. She was immediately given 20 cc. of a

dilute solution of hydrochloric acid intravenously and within 5

minutes there was a marked improvement in the heart, the breathing

and the general condition. The cyanosis disappeared, she opened

her eyes and spoke. The attending physician returned three hours

later. The temperature had gone up 1.5 degrees. She was still

conscious and her general condition was good. It was then found

that she had a septic incomplete abortion which was then surgically

corrected and the patient went on to complete recovery.

There was a case reported before the American Association for the

Advancement of Science by a doctor. He stated a case history:

" The patient was moribund due to the unexpected effects of an

anesthetic. The hydrochloric acid was injected at 10:15 AM, eight

minutes later the lips began to twitch and ten minutes the hands

moved and in forty minutes the patient was talking coherently. "

Early in the month of January, Dr. B. Ferguson was called to see a

patient, a man of 55 apparently dying from angina pectoris. He was

alone in the hotel room and could give no history of his ailment.

A partly empty bottle of Digitalis was on the dresser. Breathing

from water-filled lungs precluded any possibility of hearing

anything of the very rapid and tumultuous heart. With the aid of a

bellboy he was given an intravenous injection of hydrochloric acid

dilute. Before the completion of the injection the breathing had

improved and the patient rested easier.

-------

It has been observed that an injection of hydrochloric acid dilute

intravenously does not markedly change the carbon dioxide capacity

of the blood while the oxygen content is markedly increased in 30

minutes. It is entirely possible that intravenous solutions of

hydrochloric acid can result in more oxidation of red blood cells

than the inhalation of oxygen through a nasal breathing device.

In a previous passage I showed a sequence of events when hydrogen

chloride supplies diminish. The bacterial growth within the body

accelerates, the toxic levels rise and the sequence continues.

Usually the disappearance of hydrogen chloride is gradual and the

bacteria wander into the circulation casually without provoking the

defensive mechanism. There begins a constant and unending flow of

bacteria toxins into the bloodstream followed by slowing up of the

circulation and all other physiological processes. As a result of

this the bacterial toxins start to accumulate in the bloodstream

and a mild toxemia set in.

It is generally known that the patient presents himself for the

first time to consult with his family doctor. He complains of mild

functional disorders such as general weakness, a loss of appetite,

a lack of endurance, a sallow complexion and irritability.

The avidity with which the white cells absorb or destroy every

foreign substance entering the bloodstream soon manifests itself in

the fact that the white cells become smothered and overpowered by

the increasing accumulation of bacterial toxins. The great influx

of bacterial poisons having rendered the white cells impotent, the

phagocytic response almost nil, even though there may be a high

leukocyte count. Examination of the blood picture after an

injection of hydrogen chloride will reveal a great increase in

leukocytic and phagocytic activity.

When the hydrogen chloride supplies in the bloodstream become too

low the body begins to manufacture other kinds of acids to

neutralize the alkalosis that supervenes. This is accomplished by

lactic, carbonic, butyric, diacetic, acetic and fatty acids. This

is followed by a functional stimulation of the gastric glands

responsible for the production of hydrogen chloride. As a result

of this disturbance an over-production of hydrogen chloride begins

to take place. An over-production of the acid takes place and a

condition of hyperchlorhydria and toxemia becomes manifest.

Our patient now pays his respects for a second time to the family

physician and reiterates his former complaints but with the new

added ones of the symptoms of gastric distress. A disordered

chemistry follows the vanishing of hydrogen chloride from the

circulation and its replacement by the acid metabolic wastes. Some

of these wastes cannot be converted into substances suitable for

excretion. This factor plus the presence of bacterial toxins or

any other form of poisons entering the blood and the progressive

slowing up of the circulation and all other physiological processes

of the varied tissues gives rise to the inability of the body to

throw off completely metabolic acid waste as quickly as they are

formed, and therefore they begin to accumulate in the bloodstream

bringing about the condition of incipient acidosis and toxemia.

Our patient now makes a third visit complaining of a lack of

endurance, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, vague pains and

digestive problems. Observe that as the functional disturbances

are beginning to become aggravated new symptoms are beginning to

appear. In the disposal of the acid wastes the bloodstream serves

merely as a conveyor. The absence of an adequate supply of

potassium salts, for example, gives rise to a diminution of the

hydrogen chloride production. Be that as it may, the production

of hydrogen chloride falls short and the condition known as

hypochlorhydria supervenes. The progressiveness of this metabolic

disorder is apparent for sooner or later there is a total

suppression of the production of hydrogen chloride and the

condition know as achlorhydria becomes manifest.

Clinically this train of events manifests itself as malnutrition

and a so-called physiological disturbance, metabolic, endocrine

and organic -- any of the infectious arthritis and osteoarthritis,

endocarditis, ulcerative endocarditis, myocarditis, rheumatic

pericarditis, acute chorea, muscular rheumatism, peripheral

neuritis, herpes, abscess of the brain, acute appendicitis,

cholecystitis, salpingitis, oophoritis, thyroiditis, nephritis,

osteomyelitis, phlebitis, synovitis, various skin disorders,

arteriosclerosis, bacteremia -- and the list goes on and on.

Faulty digestion and assimilation due to a deficiency of the

hydrogen chloride production in the stomach brings about a

resulting serious depletion of the alkaline reserve, malnutrition,

impaired metabolism, and a derangement of the physiologic functions

of the varied tissues.

Furthermore, the bloodstream becomes stagnant with the ever

increasing accumulation of bacterial toxins, metabolic acid wastes,

acid wastes, acid salts altered secretions of the endocrine gland

and bacteria. The bloodstream becomes a literal cesspool against

which the varied tissues, particularly those with an inherited

weakness or susceptibility, begin to react. Clinically there

becomes manifest the condition of advanced acidosis and toxemia.

Our patient is still with us and by now he complains of marked

general weakness, nervousness, insomnia, digestive disorders,

various functional disturbances of a metabolic and endocrine

nature, functional disturbances of the heart, severe headache,

allergic manifestations, malnutrition, vague pains all over the

body, and in addition the symptoms of any inflammatory or organic

lesions present. He again visits his family physician.

He is now advised to consult the elite of the profession, the

surgeon, neurologist, endocrinologist, allergist, the stomach

specialist and others. In due time having made the rounds of the

various specialists he finds himself relieved of various appendages

and certain sums of money. His condition, however, continues

progressively worse. The deficiency of hydrogen chloride

production, starvation of minerals, vitamins and amino acids and

other food elements and a total unbalance or derangement of all

physiological functions of the varied tissues of the body.

Also there is ever decreasing degree of tissue susceptibility.

Furthermore it is to be observed that at this stage it no longer

matters what the predisposing factor has been that brought about

the ill health.

Well, time marches on. The ever increasing degree of

intensification of each and every component comprising the general

causation coupled with the presence of one or more pathological

processes brings back our patient, not only with the symptoms of

the demonstrable pathology, but also the symptoms of advanced

progressive acidosis and toxemia, exhaustion and easy fatigability,

insomnia, feeling of pressure in the front of the head, the top of

the head and the back of the neck, the region of the throat and

sternum are also favorite locations in which tight feelings occur.

There may be backache, bellyache, severe headache, dizzy spells,

muscular pains and weakness, dyspepsia, extreme nervousness and

irritability, sexual disorders, mental disturbances, numbness of

hands, fingers and toes, clammy hands and feet, vague pains all

over the body, subnormal or above normal temperature, high or low

blood pressure and various functional heart disorders. By this

time one or more allergic diseases have already become manifest.

By now our patient finally realizes the futility of seeking further

aid be it allopathic, homeopathic, osteopathic, chiropractic,

neuropathic, or what have you and settles down in the bitter frame

of mind to await his day of deliverance.

On and on the process continues until all the varied tissues become

saturated with these poisons with complete loss of tissue

susceptibility and the aberration of all physiological functions.

Degenerative disease is but a reaction of the tissues against

the general pathology. It can take any number of forms such as

arteriosclerosis, diabetes, nephritis, affections of the heart,

neoplastic growths, pernicious anemia, leukemia, lymphadenoma,

senile insanity, multiple sclerosis, and arthritic degenerations.

Now let's take a look at this patient in the final stages. Let us

visualize the patient in his final stage of advanced acidosis and

toxemia. Look about you as your friends, your loved ones. Look at

yourself. Ask yourself, " How do you feel, really? " All of this

tragedy, the death, the pain, and despair is solvable by simple

therapies generated by a simple process of thought and administered

in a simple gesture of help and kindness.

All of this available for more than thirty years. But what has

become of the genius that sprouted forth from the minds of a few

physicians long ago? A simple call to the Bureau of Medical

Investigation will reveal them to be " DEAD QUACKS! "

At this moment we need an Emergency Survival Philosophy.

In the future we will all participate in the Health Crimes Trials

of the Twentieth Century.

Hi Bee,

I stopped the herbs and supplements around July. The reason why I went to GI

was because my family became very concerned and forced me. I was burping,

constipated (would not go 3 - 4 days) but yet lost a lot of weight..went

down to 94 lbs, my period stopped (it stopped before I lost the weight), I

started getting these pulses through out my body..(I call them nerve pulses)

only way I can describe them and tremors. Eye twitches, my fingers would

jerk sometimes. I My hair started to fall out more than it already was. I

would hallucinate sometimes. I could go on and on. I became insanely

hungry...I mean I could eat and eat and never get full...it was crazy. I am

just now able to control my appetite with your diet. I assume it's the fats.

The GI said that the probiotics most likely caused a bacterial overgrowth.

However, he wanted me to go to the endocrinologist first because he thought

it had something to do with my pituitary gland. I went to endocrinologist

and she wanted me have a MRI of pituitary which I already had which showed

no tumor. So, right away endo kind of just brushed me off and wanted me to

take levothyroxine and vitamin d. I started taking the levothyroxine 10 mgs

but I stopped about 1 month later because I couldn't tell if it was helping

or not. I never went back to GI because I assumed he would want me to take

antibiotics for his overgrowth diagnosis. After being on all of the

ayurvedic drs herbs and supplements I am petrified of any pills but I am

still taking yours because they are just simple vitamins and your theory

makes more sense to me. However I don't know what to do about the burping

and digestion issue. I know that is the root of my problem. Plus I keep

getting those red lines through out my eyes that I mentioned to you.

Any suggestions would help.

Thank you again for responding to me. At least someone is listening....

Kind regards,

Jess

+++Hi Arianna,

You may not need HCl. Remember that when you are stressed your body will be

running on its fight/flight nervous system, which slows down the bowels,

interferes with the stomach producing acid, etc..

In order to switch off that fight/flight nervous system do deep breathing

exercises:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php

Also do things that help you relax and get your mind off of the past:

1) Walk outside and look around a lot at the sky, trees, grass, houses, etc. so

you extrovert and your mind will be more in " present time. "

2) Take Epsom salt baths.

3) Avoid toxic people who put you down or upset you.

4) Seek out the company of people who are uplifting and encouraging to you.

5) Avoid bad news from others and also in newscasts.

6) Spend time doing things you enjoy, particularly creative things.

7) Whenever you feel upset do deep breathing exercises and get busy with

something. Sometimes doing some housecleaning helps or write down what you are

feeling, which helps you get it off your chest.

8) Pamper yourself in any way you can.

9) Try to focus on the good memories you shared with your dear brother.

Love & healing hugs, Bee

I have used a number of different brands and have the best results and least problems with Biotics Hydro Zyme and HCL plus. Different size bottles and reasonable cost. I use the ramp dosing method having the patients start with one or two per meal and increasing by one per meal until either they get a mild irritation in the left upper quadrant or their symptoms of indigestion diminish and then back off. My goal is to get them to as low a dose as possible.

I like Thorne because they have a choice between a smaller size bottle and a jumbo, economy size with 650 caps! This is great if you take it as I do, 2-3 with each meal!
