Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just throwing this out, but lack of hydrochloric acid, HCL to digest food can create vertigo. As we age our production of HCL diminishes. Researchers are saying half of us over fifty do not produce sufficient HCL and digestive enzymes to properly digest our food. Supplemental Betaine HCL taken with the last bite of food, will stop that. Urban legends, or could it be money greed, riddle the medical field, ninety five percent of simple heartburn, almost always treated with anti acids is truly a shortage of digestive acids. There is a ton of money to be made from barking anti acids. Sad we are so controlled and manipulated by TV ads, nexium, proton pump. What really happens is the lower sphincter muscle, a circular muscle, in the esophagus will close when suffecient HCL is pumped into the stomach, but stays open until then, which is what causes heartburn, as the stomach acid there, splashes up into the feed tube and burns. It does seem odd, but your body is saying we need more acid to digest this spicy pizza you just woolfed down. Add in, food handlers use enzyme killers on our food to maintain a better fresher looking product, but it makes it very difficult to digest. Every fruit and vege function is to rot/decay/digest and feed it's seed, of course that enzyme also helps us digest our food. david lubbock tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
