Re: Apple Cider Vinegar for asthma

[Guest guest]

Hi Genevive,

Thanks for your post.

I put -

apple cider vinegar and hydrochloric acid deficiency

into Google.

One of the hits -

Over half of people over the age of sixty suffer from low gastric

acidity.

If you've consulted your doctor about indigestion, taken antacids, and

tried the prescription drug Tagamet and there has been no improvement -

or in fact you have felt worse, your problem could stem from a lack of

hydrochloric acid.

A physician can use a diagnostic test to confirm this problem, but

there is also a simple test you can perform at home.

Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice when you are

experiencing indigestion.

If this eliminates your symptoms, then you may be deficient in stomach

acid.

If it makes your symptoms worse, you have an overproduction of stomach

acid.

If the vinegar helps, you can take it with meals or you can take

hydrochloric acid (HCL) supplements (these often contain pepsin), which

you can buy at health food stores.

Please note that hiatal hernia, gastritis, and duodenal ulcer are

caused by overproduction of stomach acid, and HCL supplements can make

these conditions worse.

Therefore, it's important to rule out hyperacidity before treating

yourself with HCL supplements.
