HCL Therapy can improve your overall health and wellness

HCL therapy, hydrochloric acid therapy, has been used very successfully in the 1920s and 30s in the pre-antibiotic era.

It was pioneered by Walter Guy, M.D., and Burr Ferguson, M.D.

They were actually World War 1 doctors in the trenches, and they saw some of the most horrendous infections that one could see, and they experienced some of the worst septic wounds ever.

They used HCL therapy by injecting HCL diluted into the wound with remarkable cures.

Hydrochloric acid injections stimulate phagocytosis.

Phagocytosis turns on the macrophages to clean up the debris and dead cells in the lymph.

When the lymph becomes stagnant, you need an active macrophage to get in there and clean the junk up.

Analysis of blood chemistries after diluted HCL injection showed increased levels of blood oxygen, an increase in red blood cell and white blood cell count, and an increase in phagocytosis which helps remove the dead tissue and other debris.

Carnivorous animals like dogs, lions, tigers, and cats can eat some of the most maggot-infested meat, and they can digest it without getting sick because they produce a lot more hydrochloric acid than humans do.

They will render that infected piece of meat sterile.

It is pretty amazing when you just take that concept into your mind and understand the potential we have with using hydrochloric acid to deal with our gut infections.

Why are we so deficient in HCL production?

The main reason is stress.

The emotional stress, which I call sympathetic domination, that can render the parietal cells produced in the stomach basically inactive due to sympathetic domination that we call stress.

This is what we call the emotional stressors.

We also are going to have chemical stressors and a lack of postural integrity.

As we age and we start to degenerate, the forward head tilt encroaches upon the vagus nerve and the signal to the parietal cells gets compromised.

Lack of hydrochloric acid production is mainly due to age-related loss of hydrochloric acid. 

As we age and when we hit our fourth decade of life, we start to lose HCL production.

You don't ever want to block your acid production.

Acid-blocker therapies are an abomination in medicine because they block acid production.

These are medicines like Prilosec, Zantac, Nexium, Tums, and Rolaids.

This is a huge flagrant foul.

The chemistry of hydrochloric acid.

The H in the HCL is the hydrogen ions—the light speed button that turns your immune system on.

The hydrogen ions make the macrophages aggressive, so when they become aggressive, they start cleaning up the debris.

The chlorine part is the disinfectant, think of chlorinated pools where it is used as a disinfectant.

It works like a scrubber of the debris.

When you have the hydrogen and the chloride molecules cleaning up all the stagnant lymph and debris, you have a serious therapy on your hands to help deal with chronic infections.

How pH works in the body

The stomach needs to be acid.

The small intestine needs to be alkaline.

The large intestine needs to be more on the acid side.

The intracellular space, the fluid between the cells, needs to be more on the alkaline side.

This is why when we use hydrochloric acid therapy, it's imperative that we come in with an alkaline buffer such as potassium.

We call that the activator.

HCL, plus a potassium activator delivers a knockout punch to clean the debris in the lymph and the intracellular fluid, while not causing the pH to get too disbalanced with hydrochloric acid therapy.

HCL is needed for absorption of minerals.

Minerals are truly the key to life.

If you do not absorb minerals, you will never have health.

The whole key to getting healthy is mineral absorption.

Calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and proteins are all better absorbed when hydrochloric acid is functioning at an optimal level.

HCL runs the pH of the stomach, and we need to be acidic in the stomach for mineral absorption.

80% of the population are in a state of slow oxidation.

This means low HCL, slow metabolism, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, cravings, and digestion problems.

The whole body and its processes are slowed down and improvement depends on lifestyle, diet, rate of detoxification, and therapies.

HCL therapy has proven to help slow oxidizers, but for those in fast oxidation (meaning high sodium on a hair tissue mineral analysis) then HCL therapy can cause irritation.

You never want to blindly take something like HCL without first testing.

The recommended amount is always dependent on the individual, and you always want to start with a low dose and work up to a maximum dose.

Fixing the whole ecology of the microbes in the gut, understanding the pH in the microbes, and how to fix gut function with this simple time-tested therapy is one of those clinical pearls and gems that will help take your health to that next level in combination with other modalities.
