 | Why Stomach Acid is Good for You |
 | "HCl Cured My Reflux Instantaneously" | 2009-04-23 |
I had all the symptoms of hypochlorhydria (weak stomach acid): reflux, adult acne, eczema on my scalp and face, athlete's foot. You need strong acid to utilize the nutrition in food. It appears that my depression was related to being malnourished, because I no longer fall into deep depression (suicidal thoughts). You need strong stomach acid to absorb B12, and B12 deficiency has been linked to depression. I always had a slight, but constant, thick congestion -- that is gone. I also used to suffer from very dry skin, but that has gotten better. Twinlab's Betaine HCl has worked best for me. Now Foods brand was useless.
When you have acid indigestion or reflux, I realize that it's counter-intuitive to take acid, but they say "strong stomach acid = strong valve." They recommend working up to 6 - 7 capsules/meal. Once I started taking HCl, I was cured of the reflux instantaneously. I do wish they made Betaine HCl in a more concentrated form. I go through a bottle/week. I also lost weight -- I used to be quite chubby. Again, strong acid means you are squeezing all of the nutrients out of your food, so you don't get hungry as often.
Give a copy of this book to your doctor for Christmas.

I use these at work -- the guy who just moved into the cubicle next to me is VERY noisy, and when music is playing, I hear absolutely nothing from Mr. Noisy (make sure you push them in your ear as far as you can). I listen to CDs in my computer's drive via Windows Media Player with "TruBass" turned on (the equalizer is nice too). These earphones are audiophile quality, and there are times when my co-workers will find me with my eyes closed in bliss, listening to Gerry Mulligan, Dave Matthews, etc. It's a win-win situation now, thanks to these earphones.

| "Learning Electricity Through Story-Telling" | 2004-07-28 |
This book is very cleverly written. It's the learning of physics concepts through story-telling and it's very effective. When I was trying to understand one of the ideas of inductance, my mind immediately "grabbed for" the Greenies surfing analogy, and it helped immensely. This is sort of like mnemonics for physics.
