RE: Re: yeast / HCL

[Guest guest]

You know , I’m beginning to believe that many illnesses are being diagnosed because of just that and possibly Drs are diagnosing people with an illness when they really need to work on the stomach acid first. Poor digestion I believe can be the result of many things. I saw in one of these messages questions about acid pH balance. This is an excellent article (lengthy) explaining about stomach acid, a few excerpts:- Because hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) is so common and yet leads to terrible degenerative diseases such as cancer, congestive heart failure, osteoporosis and even Alzheimer's, patients as well as doctors need to become aware of its causes and symptoms and how to respond to them.When my doctor told me to take antacids 21 years ago, he diagnosed hypoglycemia and hypothyroidism. Since writing the aforementioned letter, I've learned that these are caused by hypochlorhydria; let me explain why. We need a healthy level of hydrochloric acid (HCI) to stimulate digestive action in the small intestine, to break down fiber, to provide enzyme activity for nutrient absorption, and to assimilate minerals. Herein lies the electrical and manufacturing potential of our entire body. Non-absorbable, cooked or heated minerals become absorbable liquid crystalloid electrolytes, and organic minerals from raw foods are made more available and their electrical quality is maintained via healthy gastric activity. The body needs most of its minerals to be 'ionic' (electrically charged) and in solution. With low stomach acid there are fewer and fewer electrolytes in the body, and even these can lose their ionic quality and go out of solution-to form troublesome deposits. Liquid crystalloid electrolytes give us the correct alkali and acid balance (pH) needed before almost any chemical activity can occur. When the pH of the stomach is chronically 'off' (from low gastric activity -- hypochlorhydria), the pH won't be correct anywhere else in the body.Not one enzyme, can be produced without the assistance of liquid. crystalloid electrolytes. All hormones, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, oils, etc. require electrolytes and enzymes to be properly metabolized. Even a slight deficiency of electrolyte minerals has a progressive effect (in hypochlorhydria) on our assimilation of all nutrients and every bodily process suffers.Hypoglycemia: We cannot digest the protein needed for a stable blood sugar. Over 50% of digested protein is converted to glucose, [3] and there are deficiencies of magnesium, copper, chromium and zinc. These minerals are needed to maintain proper levels of blood sugar. The symptoms of hypoglycemia are tremulousness, palpitation, faintness and hunger. Because glucose is one of the main fuels for the brain, there may also be confusion, headache, dizziness and even comaHypothyroidism: To function properly the thyroid needs sufficient B vitamins especially B2, B3 and B6, and minerals -- especially iodine, zinc, selenium, magnesium, copper and molybdenum, essential fatty acids and the amino acid Tyrosine. [6] Because my diet and supplements contain all that's needed to maintain a healthy blood sugar and thyroid (after a year on betaine 1101 with pepsin and enterically coated pancreatic enzymes), I no longer feel hypoglycemic and I no longer need thyroid medication.There are other reasons for hypoglycemia and hypothyroidism, e.g. low adrenal output, [7] poor liver function [4] and aluminum toxicity, [8] and we will address them in the following list of symptoms, conditions and. diseases associated with hypochlorhydria.Additional hormonal conditions are: Thyroiditis, [9] Parathyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Thyrotoxicosis, Graves disease [10] and weakening adrenal gland function leading to adrenal exhaustion and nervous breakdown.I highly recommend reading this link which has a wealth of information, I can’t see anyone not wanting to try it unless they have concerns due to having had stomach ulcers:- http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2001_Oct/ai_78900837/?tag=content;col1 Jayne Crocker www.LDNNow.comImportant!

And could it be, poor digesttion, creates-allows an overload of yeast/candida, which overloads our immune system attempting to control that yeast, with a weakened immune system, illness, sickness, cancer of some type, prevails. I know that sounds very simplistic, but I also believe it happens, just how often does it occur?I saw a small movie at our local university medical library, in a petri dish, white blood cells were attacking yeast, the white blood cells had little to no affect on the yeast, but they did form a wall of dead cells to wall off the yeast on only one side, within a twenty four hour period. Also, the yeast was not being feed, so it could, did not grow. Just thinking out-loud. david lubbock tx
