I believe it’s better to acidify the body than to alkalize the body. Different parts of the body need different pH levels. The stomach is especially significant, and it should be extremely acidic.
The stomach is the main organ at the beginning of the digestive cycle. If the stomach doesn’t work right, nothing else will work right with the cycle. There are various enzymes that are activated by pH. Enzymes, which help with your digestion, are controlled by an optimum pH.
If you start to alkalize the body, you could create dysfunction throughout the entire digestive system. But, if you were to acidify the stomach, that may help you activate enzymes that help you break down proteins, which will give you a more complete digestive chain of events.
Symptoms of low stomach acid:
• Heartburn
• Gas
• Bloating
• Food allergies
• Mineral deficiency
• Hair loss
• GERD
• Gut infection
• Anemia
• Malabsorption
• Decreased vitamin B12
• Increased risk of stomach cancer
To have a strong acid stomach, you don’t always need to take an acidifier. You often just need raw materials like chloride (sea salt), sodium, potassium, zinc, and iodine. But, many people see improvement from taking apple cider vinegar and hydrochloric acid to acidify the stomach.

I'm an old guy who has suffered with acid reflux to a point that I had major surgery and multiple other operations. I have taken all of these anti acids and pills that stop the acid buildup. With all of those pills and operations, my condition got worse and I suffered all kinds of problems. I found that a small amount of whiskey kills the infections in the esophagus and stomach and eating peppers eliminates the acid reflux. I now use no drugs and I suffer no stomach acid problems. I eat peppers every day and when I go several days without them, I end up with acid reflux. Everything that the doctors told me was absolutely wrong. The drugs cause tremendous other problems and just don't work. It's all in the diet. Don't listen to most doctors because they were taught how to administer drugs.

Hi Dr. Berg, this is how I have benefited from your channel. In Dec 2020 I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 after being pre-diabetic for probably 2 decades. Around April, I watched one of your videos that promoted intermittent fasting. So I jumped on board. I began squeezing 3 meals / day into 10ish hours, but that was not satisfactory. After about 6 weeks of this, I dropped to 2 meals a day, plus I fast every Saturday. I alternate my first meal between fruits and veggies. My 2nd meal is eggs, avacado and protein. I love that you love eggs. About 6 weeks ago I was no longer diabetic (not even pre-diabetic!) and have dropped my blood sugar testing to once per month. The best 2 things I learnt from you was 1) insulin resistance and 2) intermittent fasting. (I have not spent time on keto yet). Doctors had an opportunity for 2 decades to offer me advice on preventing full blown diabetes. "Cut down on your sugar" is just not sufficient medical advice. Thank you for your channel and your effort into passing along useful information. You have been more valuable to me than 20 years of doctors. And for every person that you have helped, and who leaves a comment, I am sure that there are hundreds and hundreds of other people that you have also helped but who have not left a comment. Thanks.

The huge variety is important for a good healthy micro biome. I have done keto, I have done weight watchers, I am done semi vegetarian/vegan. But I am now eating more of a Mediterranean diet lots of vegetables of every color whenever possible organic. Also fruits in less proportion than vegetables. I eat beans after soaking of course lentils. Steel cut oats. Once in a while grass fed grass finished beef, organic chicken, wild caught salmon etc. etc. in all of my years and I am 61 I have never felt this good. My gut is better, my emotions are better, my overall state of well-being and my energy level is better than it has ever been. And I know that it’s because I am looking at my gut- biome by eating a variety of organic and healthy grains healthy legumes preparing them properly and good organic meat. LOTS OF VEGETABLES- except I don’t eat potatoes nor corn.

Sorry but as we age, we lose the acidity of the stomach. In thus case you have to acidify it to get proper digestion.

Nope not in my case....I eat 97% whole food made from scratch....get 85% of vitamins daily from food and still have major bloating because I can't digest proteins properly anymore.

The interesting thing is that some people stimulate stomach acid production with celery juice, which is an alkaline food.

You have to Distill or buy Distilled water and add back Trace Minerals and Salt. Water is so polluted and I found that out after I installed filters in my water line. I was shocked to see the first Pre-Filter turning brown within a few gallons. I bought two Distiller off of Ebay a year ago and now Distill all my drinking water. The results are Fabulous, as the first thing I noticed was how my skin look so healthy, soft and all the little bumps I had on my skin were disappearing. Just amazing how we take for granted water; yet, the water everywhere is so polluted. Think about all the Meds people take and then excrete into our water supply and that is just the tip of the iceberg of all the chemicals we flush down the drain and people drink. Love 4Truth!

@mrkitty777 2 года назад

It's important to add that one should never drink distilled water before the minerals are added. Pure H2O causes severe irritation. Ironic that pure water is toxi but in nature it always xomes with minerals and nowadays some things one doesn't want to have in water.

Ya’ll, this one is really interesting, especially that he has posted this today. After three years of not eating meat, today I am planning on going keto. A few months ago I started integrating eggs and seafood. For the past two months, I have been on a fruit diet (melons, citrus, grapes, berries, avocados). I have dropped all the congestion in my stomach very quickly. I believe the fruit diet healed my body. Though I feel strong, I know it is not sustainable due to low protein/fats. I recently started integrating bone marrow occasionally and I found that it was able to release some things the fruit diet could not (or it was just quicker to release it than fruit) I’ve been playing around with my ph, and experimenting. I noticed many benefits from having an acidic stomach. And I also did some research and found that candida thrives in an alkaline environment 😳. Let’s see how this goes.

You are a good doctor and I saw your videos. But sometimes, you misguide people. What you are talking about here, it’s totally different from body chemistry. For your info, normal pH of stomach is about 4, not 1.5. 1.5 is the pH of HCL which is secreted during meal. Stomach is not the reservoir for HCL. Baking Soda in Stomach will react with HCL and this reaction will create carbonic acid which will further create CO2 and H2O. CO2 is essential for our body.

Before she passed away I asked her “what do you think is wrong with you” she told me she didn’t know. She also told me her stomach wasn’t feeling good. I wonder if she was too alkaline?

I definitely benefited your contents. First was air hunger that governmental hospitals couldn't solved through blood tests and scanning machines many years however, you solved my problem after I found you on Tiktok saying if you are air hunger, you need B1. After you said that I was last stages that I developed peri peri condition. Extremely low heart beat, confusion, forgetfulness, hair loss and more. I had to call my GP about the situation and told my problem they immediately told me to come and do blood test but found nothing. I bought B1 100mg when I swallowed after minutes, I felt my lungs were expanded. Second problem was my gastric that I had been suffering for almost ten years. The air hunger and the gastric suffering started same time. The gastric almost killed me. My stomach swells when I eat food. My diaphragm swells and tightens when burp a lot. However, after I watched a video talking about low stomach acid and said If you have low stomach acid take ACV, Betaine HCL and Tudca. After I took them, the swelling of my diaphragm immediately disappeared, stomach pain, stomach swelling and constipation. My problem was low stomach acid. But my question is why my blood test didn't show vitamin deficiency? May be if stomach acid is low blood test results hides. Thanks Dr Eric Berg for helping us.

Here's an interesting thing! I have been using an alkaline jug filter for my drinking water for some years. I have suffered with IBS for a long time. A friend told me his girlfriend had been diagnosed with IBS by her doctor but when she went to her homeland it stopped. She changed her water. He told his mum who also had IBS symptoms and she also changed her water. I changed to drinking well water unfiltered. We all feel better now. I thought perhaps it was all the pesticides etc in the tap water, but having watched this video I think perhaps my problems may have come, at least partly, from the alkaline water. It was recommended to me by a bioresonance practitioner who said that alkalising the body will protect from disease! Confusing!!

On a side note you mentioned sea salt. For the last few years I would have problems with muscle spasms no matter how much water I drank. Well, I did some research and decided to simply add a little sea salt to my everyday drinking water...NO MORE CRAMPS! As an athlete and avid cyclist logging in more than 200 miles a week in the hot sun, this simple addition has been paramount! This is also along with doing ACV doses 2 to 3 times a day.

Thanks Eric! My brother had the 8-hr surgery for pancreatitis, would you believe 7 years ago?! X-rays and scans reveal his organs now are all over the place, in other words, when they were taken out during surgery they weren’t put back in place. Today he is really suffering heartburn and acid reflux. He has not been able to lie down in years. I just found this out during his recent visit. I am going to forward this video to him because, in my opinion, you cured me from the point where I didn’t know how I would ever eat or drink again. One doctor gave me prescription for antibiotics for sore throat and that nearly killed me! The next doctor took me off the antibiotics and gave me acid inhibitors. That sounded harsh to me when we learned in elementary school that stomach acid should be like battery acid. So why are we inhibiting acid production!!! Hmm did not sound right to me! Fortunately a friend told me about you at that time! This video makes so much sense! I am going to share with my brother.

@charles1250 2 года назад

Dr. Berg, This is good information, yet I believe the biggest piece of this puzzle rarely gets discussed. The missing piece here is the workings of the pancreas. When your stomach is presented with acid, be it from your natural stomach acids or an external source, the pancreas is given a signal to produce sodium bicarbonate. It's this introduction of a high PH element that neutralizes stomach acid in the duodenum. I believe this mechanism is solely responsible for alkalizing the body. If you consider your past advice of lemon juice having the ability to alkalize the body, you were introducing an acid which signaled the body to create more sodium bicarbonate. This, in turn, alkalizes the body. I truly believe the epidemic of low stomach acid in America is what is mainly causing the rampant systemic acidification of Americans due to it's affects on the production of sodium bicarbonate. Thanks for your time, Charlie
