The only area inside your body that should be acidic is your stomach acid, every other organ, tissue or cell maintains the opposite effect, which is called alkaline.

Your stomach acid composition is so caustic it has an acidic pH factor of? 2 to 4 . . . zero being the absolute most acidic on the pH scale.

The composition of your stomach acid is so very corrosive it takes special muscles that protect you from one of the most chemically burning substances in the world- your natural stomach acid.

Once you realize how incredibly acidic your stomach acid is, it?s hard to believe it?s constantly produced by your body. In fact the hydrochloric elixir of gastric lava you call your stomach acid is so dangerous it can etch glass.

Diamonds can cut, but actually being so powerful a liquid as to burn glass is amazing.

It?s no wonder millions of people rush to the doctor for some kind of relief for acid reflux. Think of a prescription antacid as a chemical fire extinguisher. Problem is you don?t want to literally extinguish your gastric fire, you simply want to stop it from ?erupting? into a painful chemical flash, ?burning up into your more sensitive oral regions.

The composition of your stomach acid is a blend of powerful salt molecules like sodium chloride (NaCL) at 0.5%, some hydrochloric acid and mostly potassium chloride (KCL).

Potassium chloride is the largest part of Mama Nature?s? cutting edge recipe to stomach acid. Potassium Chloride is sometimes called ?muriate of potash.? It?s interesting to note here that Potassium chloride is used in the chemical execution of criminals that undergo lethal injection, as well as fertilizer and even as a salt substitute in food processing.

Sodium chloride, A.K.A. common table salt, or halite, is the most abundant ionic compound in sea water. The reason common salt works so well as a preservative is that it sucks all the water out of bacteria through ?osmotic pressure.?

Health experts agree that raw ?unprocessed? sea salt is the best way to take sodium chloride because you also get all the other 72 trace ?ionic? minerals necessary for proper cell function.

Sodium chloride becomes toxic? to your cells unless you also have enough potassium to balance it out. Potassium helps pump water into cells, sodium chloride has the opposite effect.

Life can?t exist without minerals, but they have to be in an ?ionic? or charged form. Another example is that ?ionic? calcium, without a balance of ?ionic? magnesium, can become toxic to cells as well. So you can see how raw ?ionic? sea salt would be the best source of ?ionic? minerals now, right?

Truth is your body can?t create the composition of stomach acid without these negatively charged minerals called ?ionic? minerals, or salts.

So remember, you are the salt of the earth, so don?t abuse it . . . properly use it!

Acid reflux is a problem that plagues millions of people in the world today.? When it occurs frequently, like twice a week or more, it can be characterized as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD.

GERD happens when a muscle in the digestive system called the lower esophageal sphincter malfunctions for one reason or another.? When operating properly, the sphincter allows food to flow one direction ? into the stomach ? and keeps acid down where it belongs.? When it becomes too relaxed acid can get into the esophagus which causes pain and irritation for the sufferer.

Symptoms of GERD include heartburn ? characterized as a burning sensation in your throat or chest, difficulty swallowing, cough, regurgitation of food or sour liquid ? characterized as acid reflux, and the feeling of a lump in your chest or throat.? When these symptoms occur frequently, GERD is generally to blame.

Some people have been shown to be more susceptible to GERD than others.? Pregnant women often struggle with GERD as a result of extra pressure on the stomach.? Some people with Diabetes struggle with a disease that slows the digestion process, keeping food in their stomachs too long, which causes excess acid production and can lead to GERD.? Smokers also seem to have a higher occurrence of GERD, as do those who are overweight.

Symptoms of GERD can be resolved in a number of ways.? In extreme cases, surgical intervention is necessary.? It involves tightening the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent acid from escaping the stomach.? However, this is often a last resort, as there are many other options for alleviating GERD.

Medications are one option, though they may not be the best option either.? While they can help to target the specific cause of acid reflux by neutralizing acids or stopping acid production all together, they are an expensive and inconvenient solution that results in several trips to the doctor and pharmacy.? Additionally, over the counter medications are not meant to be taken for more than two weeks at a time.

For those searching for more natural solutions, there are many options out there.? Simple things like tracking what you eat, and avoiding foods that set you off is one way.? Certain foods such as caffeine, garlic, onions and citrus are common triggers among GERD sufferers.? Even changes in habits can help, like eating smaller meals more often.? This technique prevents an onslaught of food from entering your stomach, which then prevents pressure build up and overproduction of acid.? Also, GERD sufferers should avoid eating less than two hours before bed.? This helps gravity keep acid in your stomach where it belongs.

There are a host of natural foods that may help relieve symptoms of acid reflux for GERD sufferers as well.? Just eating an apple can help absorb extra acid.? Drinking a glass of water can help flush acid through the digestive system faster.? Ginger, a well known herbal cure for all kinds of stomach ailments, can also help neutralize stomach acid.

I know you?ve heard all there is to say about stress and hair loss and it?s no laughing matter, but there?s more going on than just emotional stress when you?re losing your hair and at the same time are suffering from acid reflux.

First, you?re most likely NOT having heartburn or indigestion over the loss of your hair or vice versa.

Worrying about one is not triggering the other and worrying won?t help them go away either.

There is still the question of whether, ?acid reflux cause hair loss, or can hair loss cause acid reflux??

It?s almost like the old chicken and the egg paradox, which one came first?

There are many variables including toxic exposure, dietary habits and genetic predisposition.

Actually we can rule out genetic predisposition because scientists have discovered that you can affect your genetic switch board by changing how and what you eat. If you have been exposed to toxins (Like pharmaceuticals) that are causing your acid indigestion, your hair loss may be the least of your health concerns.

As you may already know, everything to do with your health is somehow interconnected with your environment, both internally and externally.

By peaking at the ?big picture? we have a better opportunity of grasping a more holistic or dare I say holographic, perspective.

The closer you look the more important it is to try and see things from your cell?s point of view.? The truth is your cells literally have perceptive capabilities. Each cell has organelles that represent tiny functional copies of every organ you have in your body.

You are created from the constant communication efforts of more than 50,000,000 cells and when communication breaks down the signs of imbalance can be detected.

Heartburn and hair loss can definitely be considered signs of an imbalance. Are they connected? Technically yes, as I?ve pointed out, everything ultimately is.

Let?s talk heartburn for a moment.

Most people couldn?t be more misinformed about heartburn and acid reflux. The myth that everyone who suffers from heartburn symptoms has too much stomach acid is simply untrue.

When you look at the root cause of heartburn you?ll see that a stomach acid deficiency creates nearly the same heartburn symptoms as an over production of stomach acid will.

It only ?feels? like an over production of stomach acid because of the body is making sudden spurts of gastric acid, instead of making a steady supply.

Now imagine IF you suffer from lack of stomach acid that this deficiency has been going on for some time now and therefore may have caused some other issues as a result; such as not digesting food or absorbing nutrients and oxygen into your cells.

Now looking closer at hair loss we will also discover that these same minerals, oxygen and nutrients are vital for normal hair follicle health.

In fact a chronic mineral deficiency will prevent any key nutrients from entering your cells eventually stopping your cells from growing, reproducing and healing their selves properly.

So keep in mind that your thyroid, your follicles, your stomach acid and every metabolic system you have is dependent upon electrons that are released from water when special minerals are present.

Simply put, your impressive communication ?Inner-Net? between all your cells is failing because there are not enough electrons flowing around. Electrons created by trace minerals and water.

So that?s why hair follicles are not functioning properly, because without these minerals, there is less oxygen. The same goes for your heartburn issues, without the oxygen and nutritional energy supplied by trace minerals your cells cannot make gastric acid, enzymes or proteins needed to maintain a healthy digestive environment.

Try RAW sea minerals from unprocessed salt or coral mineral sachets- simply add water and drink between meals. They will hydrate and alkalize your cells to bring up oxygen levels. Stable oxygen allows the detoxification process to take place, which you hair follicles and other cells desperately need.

Imagine having an aquarium and never changing the water- that?s what your stomach acid and hair cells are going through without having access to charged minerals and water.

So address the root cause of your heartburn and you?ll stop seeing so much hair loss.

There are a few fortunate people who have never experienced acid reflux pain, but others suffer constantly. When food is swallowed, it passes down through the esophagus and into the stomach. At the bottom of the esophagus there is a muscle known as a sphincter. This muscle allows food to pass into the stomach. The stomach contains acid and other chemicals that process the food. But if the sphincter happens to relax for whatever reason, the food and stomach acid can back up into the esophagus, and the result is acid reflux pain.

Acid reflux pain is commonly called heartburn but it has nothing to do with the heart. The pain is a burning feeling in the abdomen which extends up toward the neck. Other symptoms include nausea, bloating, and belching. Nearly everyone suffers a mild attack of acid reflux pain now and then, especially after a holiday dinner.

There are many methods of dealing with acid reflux pain. Antacids in liquid or tablet form are available over the counter. These all contain an alkali which acts to neutralize the stomach acids. There are other drugs that suppress the acid and are available on prescription. However these are not always a permanent solution for chronic sufferers as the drugs are not designed for long term use and soon become ineffective.? They can also be a costly solution that involves frequent trips to the doctor and? pharmacy.

Some people with acid reflux pain have found certain lifestyle changes to be effective in reducing or eliminating the pain. Chronic sufferers have been advised not to eat close to their bedtime. It is easier for the acid and food to back up when one is in a prone position than when one is sitting or standing. And because of that, the majority of people suffering from acid reflux pain experience their symptoms during the night. They are also advised to consume mini meals. That is, eat more often during the day but consume smaller meals.

However, everyone is unique and acid reflux pain doesn’t affect everybody in the same way. While some foods do trigger acid reflux pain, there are different food triggers for different people. So they need to observe how their bodies react to the various foods and learn to avoid those that stimulate an attack.? Common triggers include garlic, caffeine, alcohol, citrus and onions.

What many people find most effective for dealing with acid reflux pain are natural remedies. Natural remedies are not likely to interact with other medications a person may need as drugs may. And since natural remedies do not contain harmful chemicals, they are not likely to cause allergic reactions in people who are prone to various allergies. Also, pregnant women are very prone to acid reflux pain and they can’t take many pain relievers, either over-the-counter or prescribed because of the adverse effect on the unborn fetus. For pregnant women, natural remedies and lifestyle changes are the only alternative.

Some natural alternatives include eating an apple to help neutralize the acid.? Also, ginger has been found to help with all kinds of stomach acids, including heart burn.? Even something as simple as drinking a glass of water can help flush acid out of your digestive system.
