Re correction;I am well aware of what you say re salt being stripped.That is
why I use sea salt and Himalayan salt. My water here is very poor so Idistill
it and add 40 to 45 drops of concentrace minerals to a gallon[depending on
Imp.or US gal.] .I can see now that I didn't make myself clear enough re Salt=
sodium chloride in my posting.My need was for more HCL,thus the supplement
until I started to use Sea&Him.Salt

Correction:
Regular processed salt is stripped of 82 of the 84 naturally occuring
minerals and trace elements natural sea salt contains, and this leaves only
sodium and chloride, which will cause health problems if consumed in excess,
and heart problems even if consumed in moderate quantities. (Table salt is the
first thing removed from your diet if you have a heart attack.)
Natural sea salt is far preferred to mined (i.e. Himalayan salt) because it
is (ostensibly) pure, containing none of the excess elements which can be found
in mined salt, due to eons of leaching of localized chemicals and minerals,
such as iron.

Ann,welcome to Dogpatch [Hehe !]
Your troubles sound so familiar,below is what I did to get much relief.
Basically what I did was a complete change from the western diet;I took The
Metabolic Typing test and found I was a Mixed type.I was a heavy user of grain
foods;so Istopped all grains,such as breads,cakes,pies,cookies,pastas,etc.I eat
70 to 90% raw fruits and vegetables now.I cut down on amounts of meat.Cut out
all Deli-meats,bacon etc.I put in more cold water fish,baked chicken thighs in
my diet.I make my own soups[quit most canned foods] from scratch.Stop most
foods that have sugar in them;went to Xylitol as a healthful substitute for
sugar.No candies of any kind except some very dark Chocolate,ie 78 to 88 %
cocoa.
Some red wine with a meal,cut back on coffee,1 or 2 cups/day.Stay away from
starbucks et al coffees.If other sweetening is wanted,get a good brand of
Honey,preferably from a Bee farmer.Most store Honey is adulterated and highly
processed making it a poor food.I bring in Manuka honey from New
Zealand;costly,yes,but,if you want good health you won't get it by eating
junk.A side benefit of this diet is,a good loss of over-weight.I am down to
156 Lbs. now from 183 lbs.This loss of weight took 4 inches off my middle,which
helped stop my GERD.After the Betaine HCL treatment as I went on with this
change, my need for HCL supplementing declined.I also supplement with a large
variety of Vitamins/minerals,etc. as I believe our mass produced foods today
are sorely deficient in all vital nutrients.
In addition,stop using the regular salt you buy at the store and get either
Sea salt or Himalayan salt.Regular salt is processed at High temperatures with
other adulterants added.Salt = is Sodium Chloride and the Chloride is what is
needed by your stomach to make Hydrochloric Acid.This Sodium Chloride is in the
available form your body can use.
I hope this helps,be well.
Harold
