Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I had low HCl and am mercury toxic. I went on the Salt/C protocol and it is completely solved. I now have stomach acid. I believe the problem was a salt deficiency, leading to low chloride ions available to the parietal cells to produce the HCl. I naiively believed the nonsense about salt being bad for us for many years. Salt is necessary for life. Your stomach acid and adrenals do not work well without adequate salt, and that can cascade into a lot of other problems. With low HCl you get gut parasites, for example. But the problem perpetuates because it is true that table salt is a poisonous artificial food that we all react poorly to. You must use natural unprocessed sea salts, you can eat as much of that as you like safely, even with high BP, I know, I had high BP prior to using natural sea salt, and that has improved on salt/c. I use about 6g of salt/c daily, some people are taking as much as 18g daily and they are recoving from hard illnesses like Lyme Disease and CFS. You can also take magnesium chloride to raise your HCl if you don't want to add that much salt. This is all anecdotal, I don't know any doctors who are treating low stomach acid with salts like sodium chloride and magnesium chloride. But I did and many others have and it works. Someday somebody who knows biochemistry will stop all the nonsense we are being told about salt. If you are interested in Salt/C, I have posted about it on my CFS blog - www.kurtsprotocol.blogspot.com <http://www.kurtsprotocol.blogspot.com/> --Kurt Is lack of HCL from mercury toxicity? I have found out I have a lack of stomach acid. I also barely ever get hungry and do not produce saliva as I once did when I used to feel an urge to eat. I do not know what this is due to. I can't gain any weight of course either. And am wondering if others have this and whether mercury toxicity causes it. thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
