Usually, when one gets sick, it always originated from what we have eaten / our eating habit. Therefore, we could say, first line of immune system defense of our body is at our gut / intestines / colon.
Why do we suffer from gastric pain, bloating stomach, indigestion, bacteria overgrowth (especially SIBO or Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth), fungus, candida and invasion of virus into our body system? Many do not realize that they are due to inability of our bodies to produce enough acid (not because too much acid in our stomach), especially hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric acid is paramount in keeping us healthy. It helps to digest food, hence allow the body to absorb all the nutrients from our food for a healthy body. Apart from that, it also kills invaders such as bacterias, fungus, candida and virus, thus prevent these pathogens from spreading to other part of our bodies.
Therefore, the use of anticid / medications from over-the-counter / pharmacies are not encouraged but the best way is to treat the above conditions at their root cause through natural way, i.e. increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your gut.
The best way is consumption of freshly squeezed lemon juice and with about 1/2 teaspoon of unprocessed, organic good salt such as Celtic Sea Salt or Himalaya Salt, in combination, they work wonder to produce natural hydrochloric acid.
I know, many are concerns about salt. However, do your research, learn your facts that our bodies need salt to function properly. Salt here refers to unprocessed organic Celtic Sea Salt or Himalaya Salt. These salts are not absorbed by the body but are discharged by the body easily, hence, regulate blood pressure - be it high or low blood pressure. If you want to know more about Himalaya Salt, search for my past post which a detailed facts were presented there.
If you suffer from any or all of the above-mentioned conditions, you may like to have 1 lemon juice or about 30 ml (1 ounce) + 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt / Himalaya Salt mixed with 1 glass of water. Drink it 3 times per day or as and when needed. For general health maintenance, you can drink it 1 time per day. If you think 1 lemon juice is too strong, you can start with half lemon.
There are also 100% organic squeezed lemon juice without preservative available in the market which is convenient to those who are busy. However, the best is still freshly squeezed lemon.
I have personally tried this remedy and it really helps with my indigestion and SIBO. Many IBS issues are related to either one or all of the above conditions mentioned.
