Is There A Need For Hydrochloric Acid In The Stomach?

Last week Dr. Joseph Mercola made several statements concerning the negative affects of drinking alkaline water.

According to Dr. Mercola drinking alkaline water is of no value because it will be minimized by the hydrochloric acid of the stomach.

That's exactly the point Mercola! You want to minimize the hydrochloric acid residues in the stomach!!!!

Of course what Mercola does not explain is the biochemistry of the digestive system and especially the stomach. The facts are that for every molecule of hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach an equal amount of sodium bicarbonate is produced by the cover cells. The equation is as follows: NaCl + H20 + CO2 = NaHCO3 + HCL.

The stomach pulls sodium, chloride, water and carbon dioxide to make sodium bicarbonate, an alkalizing compound with the waste product of hydrochloric acid.

The stomach will always produce sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the food we eat or the liquids we drink to prepare the food and drink for biological transformation into stem cells in the crypts of the small intestine. The more acidic the food or drink the more sodium bicarbonate will be produced to buffer the acids of the food or drink. This of course leaves you with a belly full of acid which leads to all sorts of stomach disorders including the acidifying of the blood and then tissues.

The stomach does not need to produce any sodium bicarbonate when we are eating or drinking alkalizing foods or alkaline drinks, including electron rich alkaline water.

The key here to remember is this: the stomach is NOT an organ of digestion but an organ of contribution and its main contribution is to alkalize the food and drink we ingest.

You want to drink electron rich alkaline water to neutralize or buffer the hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

The stomach is NOT an organ of digestion but an organ designed to alkalize the acids from food and metabolism.

Bottom-line the best thing you can do to support the stomach is to drink electron rich alkaline water with a pH of at least 9.5 or better. You will be preventing serious stomach disorders and preparing the food and drink for its ideal pH in the small intestine at 8.4 for biological transformation into stems cells in the crypts of the small intestine.

My best advise is to drink at least 1 liter of 9.5 pH alkaline electron rich water for every 50 pounds of weight. You will be hydrating, alkalizing and energizing your body. There is nothing more important than drinking alkaline electron rich water other than the oxygen you breath.

Reversing High Blood Pressue, High Cholesterol, Obesity and Type 1 Diabetes

Subject: Re: The pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet

Dear Dr. Young,

I started the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet on the evening of July 25, 2010.
Roma, my former wife & I met in St.Louis on the 16-19 of July.
It was the first time we had seen each other in 11 years.
On the 20th I was back in Nashville.
Roma ask me to comeback the 23-26 of July.
While I was in St.Louis, Anne Marie & her husband,Jonathan called to ask Roma to come up to their home in Iowa, since she was so close by in St.Louis.
Roma lives in Maui, Hawaii, they had met & became friends when Anne Marie & Jonathan were visiting the island.

She said she would come up if Anne Marie would see me professionally.
We arrived on the afternoon of July 25th, 2010,we met them at the Guru Purnama Celebration on campus at M.U.M.(Maharishi University of Management).

I was happy to be at M.U.M. because I have been doing T.M.(Transcendental Meditation) for 36 years.

We stayed with them & they fixed dinner for us that night.
The next day we ate with them before my appointment.
I enjoy the pH Miracle Diet food they prepared.

I had my microscopy live blood cell & MOST analysis done at 3:00 P.M. on July 26, 2010 with Anne Marie.

Anne Marie advised me that since I was taking such large amounts of insulin that it might take some time before getting any positive results.

I was taking a shot of 56 units of Insulin NPH 100 Unit / ML Novolin N, twice daily, every 12 hours.
Also, I was taking a shot of 10 to 20 units of Insulin,Aspart 100/ML Novo, 6 times a day, with 3 meals,2 snacks & bedtime.
In addition, I was taking Metformin HCL 1000 mg. Tab, 2 times a day. This the maxmium dosage allowed.

Plus, I was taking : for high blood pressure,10 mg, half a tablet of Lisinopril 20 Mg Tab 1 a day.
for high cholesterol,40 mg., half a tablet of Simvastatin 80 Mg Tab 1 a day.
for frequent urination,4 mg of Tolterodine Tartrate 4 Mg SA Cap / Detrol LA, 2 times a day & 5 mg, half a tablet of Zolpidem Tartrate 10 Mg Tab, 1 a day.

My type 1 diabetes was so bad that in the spring of 2005, I was rushed to the E.R. with a blood sugar over 600.
The next 3 years it was in the high 200s & 300s.
In the last 2 years with the help of 8 shots a day, my blood sugar has been in the high 100s & 200s.

My doctors told me as a result of years of high blood sugar, I developed neuropathy (nerve damage) in my toes/feet, & once the nerve is dead it will never regenerate.

Finally, I was scheduled for botox injuctions in my bladder to end the nightmare of having to get up every hour to urinate every night for the last 2 years.

I had not had any rem sleep in over 2 years, I was constantly exausted & none of the medications worked.

Anne Marie advised me to stay on my medications, but to be sure to check my blood sugar more often because I might need less insulin.

Being an ordained minister I have always trusted my intuition.
The morning of the 27th of July I stopped taking all insulin & I stopped taking Metformin.
The morning of the 29th of July I stopped taking the Lisinopril.
The morning of the 30th of July I noticed that I felt the pads of my toes for the 1st time since 2001.
The evening of the 31th of July I stopped taking the Simvastatin, Detrol LA, & Tolterodine Tartrate.

I am cancelling the botox injections because I am now sleeping through the night !

I have been drug free since the 31st of July.

I am a veteran, I get my medical care at the Veterans Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.
My 1st appointment since becoming drug free was with Donna, my dermatologist at 1:20 P.M. on August 3, 2010.

She said that I looked great, better than she had ever seen me before.
She said that it looked like my skin was glowing
.
My 2nd appointment was with my endocrinologist, Dr. Niswender at 10:30 A.M. on August 12, 2010.

He said that my blood sugar looked wonderful & that my blood pressure was normal, 124/70.

He said that the last time I saw him I weighed 258 lbs. & on that day I weigh 237 lbs.,a loss of 21 lbs.

He ask me how much insulin was I taking ?
I told him none.

He couldn't believe it.

He ordered a complete blood work.
After seeing the results he was stunned.

He said that my blood sugar should be between 80 -120 & that for the first time I was averaging that.

He said that I didn't need to ever come back to see him, but he ask me to come back in 4 months to make sure the results are permanent.

My blood sugar :

7/25/2010 137
7/26/2010 156
7/27/2010 68
7/28/2010 87
7/29/2010 126
7/30/2010 129
7/31/2010 114
8/01/2010 119
8/02/2010 126
8/03/2010 122
8/04/2010 109
8/05/2010 110
8/07/2010 82
8/08/2010 113
8/09/2010 131
8/10/2010 142
8/11/2010 125

Now, my average blood sugar is around 100.

My 3rd appointment was with my internal medicine specialist, Dr. Sastre at 11:30 A.M. on August 17, 2010.

She said all my vitals looked great & not to come back for 8 months.

She said that my cholesterol level is now completely in normal range.

I am drug free & feeling great !

I am grateful to Roma for getting me there.

I am very grateful to Anne Marie, Dr. Patrick Sobota & Dr. Robert Young & Shelley.
You help save my life !

I continue to lose weight. I now weight 230 lbs, a 28 lbs loss.
I have the energy of a teenager !

I have started jogging for the 1st time in 3 decades.

My life is wave after wave after wave of bliss !

It was the perfect synergy of events : reconnecting with my former wife,Roma, reconnecting with M.U.M. for Guru Purnama, reconnecting with my spiritual mentor,Jerry Jarvis, 36 years of meditation, having Anne Marie do the consultation,learning the diet and doing the diet, & follow up with Anne Marie & Dr. Patrick Sobota.

Thank you all !!!

I believe that my healing is the result of many years of prayer & yes my prayers were answered when God lead me to Dr. Robert Young & his team !!!

Gratefully Yours,,
Rev. John Copeland
