You’ve been LIED to about acid reflux

Here’s how Big Pharma created an $18.7 billion industry to trick you into believing the root cause is too much stomach acid

(And how you can fix it permanently)

— THREAD —
WHAT IS ACID REFLUX?

It’s a symptom in which acid rises to the esophagus, the tube that connects the throat and stomach

But the cause has nothing to do with an EXCESS of stomach acid

It’s about the esophageal valve that connects the esophagus & stomach
EXCESS OF GASTRIC ACID

Over production of stomach acid is called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

It’s RARE

1 in a million have it

Put the “too much stomach acid” lie to rest, once and for all
ESOPHAGEAL VALVE CONFUSION

This valve is “confused”

Better yet, it’s inappropriately relaxed

It stays open when it’s supposed to be closed, allowing gastric juices to sneak up

What do you get from that?

Unpleasant chronic symptoms
BILLIONS MADE FROM ONE LIE

The antacid market will be worth $18.7 billion (with a B) globally by the end of 2025

Big Pharma makes a killing off this

And they don’t intend to stop any time soon (just look at how many commercials you see)

Educate yourself accordingly
CONVENTIONAL “SOLUTIONS”

The 3 main types of medicines used to treat acid reflux symptoms or those caused by GERD are:

1. Antacids

2. Histamine type 2 receptor antagonists (H2 blockers)

3. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)

Fuck all three of these options

They destroy you
THE REAL ROOT CAUSES

1. Awful nutrition
2. Enzyme deficiency
3. Misaligned lifestyle

All of these are interconnected

(Explained individually below)
AWFUL NUTRITION

It’s best to cut/drastically minimize:

• Alcohol
• Sugary beverages/energy drinks
• Coffee
• Fried foods
• Vegetable oil & processed junk

Replace with nutrient dense options
ENZYME DEFICIENCY

This stems from years of poor nutrition with “food” devoid of enzymes & digestive co-factors

Eat real food & supplement properly:

• Betaine HCI (once the meal starts)
• Bromelain (eat more pineapple)

& others (find all in one) 👇🏼

a.co/d/d0SYJ83
MISALIGNED LIFESTYLE

• Black coffee on an empty stomach
• Abuse of stimulants
• Chronic stress
• No exercise, sunlight, etc
• Ridiculously large meals
• Stressed eating

An unhealthy lifestyle in general contributes to acid reflux symptoms
THE BEST SOLUTION

Stop eating past sunset (~ 7:30 PM)

Your esophageal valve is CLOSED in the late evening to prepare for bed

Late night meals open the valve up inappropriately

Circadian biology and a misaligned rhythm play a huge role in acid reflux
BONUS TIPS

1. Chew your food well (to liquid)

2. Apple cider pills: cymbiotika.com/products/apple…

3. Avoid drinking anything during and 60 minutes after a meal

WHAT IS L-GLUTAMINE?

It’s an essential amino acid your body produces, meaning we don’t need to get it from food

We have it stored up

But if you’re:

• dealing with a lot of trauma
• training hard
• under serious chronic stress

You need more glutamine
Fun fact:

Cancer patients going through chemotherapy are often given glutamine to:

• heal the intestinal tract
• keep the immune system healthy

So they can better endure treatment

Here are 7 of the nastiest health problems it creates:

The water bonds together and creates a hexagonal shape with each bond, allowing the molecules to become energized like little batteries
