Hey, Dr. Burke here in this article, we're going to talk about apple cider vinegar. What are the benefits? What are the myths? First of all, here's the myth, that absolute of vinegar contains a lot of nutrients, it really does not, it doesn't have a lot of vitamin A, it doesn't have a lot of vitamin C, it doesn't have a lot of minerals. What it does have is something even more important. In fact, the real reason why upside of vinegar works for so many conditions has to do with this one thing it has called acetic acid, that's an acid. And the reason why it works is and this might go against a lot of philosophies out there is that the body, most bodies that I come, I check in my office over many, many years are way too alkaline.
Now I know that goes against maybe what you've heard that everyone's to acid. But it's not true. You really have to when you talk about pH, you really have to understand that every part of your body has a different Ph. So if someone says, Oh, yeah, you're to acid, well, what pH you talking about the urine? Are you talking about the saliva, the real true indicator of pH for body should be in the blood. But it's very difficult to test that because soon as you take the blood out the body, it alkalizer it oxidizes, and it can change the page right away. So you have to it's very expensive to determine that. So you have to go by symptoms. And so if you ever wanted to really now just look up in our Google all the conditions for to acid called acidosis. And look up for the conditions of alkalosis and all those symptoms and you'll be able to see which ones you have. And you can determine based on those two factors. So what we're talking about is the blood pH here most people have a blood pH, which is excessively alkaline. And yes, it's true that your blood should be slightly alkaline. But in this situation, it becomes even to Auckland. Okay. And that's why it works so well because it changes if you change the pH of your body just a slightly, just a slight bit, you can create huge effects
because the pH is so important in transporting minerals and allowing enzymes to work to stimulate the thyroid to increase the metabolism all these things. So let's just take a deeper look at this one acid acetic acid. The pH of acetic acid is very acidic. It's 2.4 That's like almost like stomach acid pH, it's way down there. So it's really good for the stomach. People take it for heartburn. And by the way, heartburn, acid re-flux, indigestion, that is a condition where your stomach is too alkaline, and the valve on top does not close. And I know people say it's too much acid. No, it's not fact that if you have FF acid reflux or heartburn, just take some opposite of vinegar and see how much better you feel. I mean, you'll feel wonderful, because the valve will start closing on the top and the stomach, the acid won't start regurgitating up through that valve. So it's good for GERD, acid reflux, indigestion, okay. And as you age, especially over the age of 50 6070, your pH in your stomach starts going lower, I'm sorry, it goes higher and higher, higher, so it becomes more and more alkaline. So you need more acid as you age to be able to digest protein in absorb minerals. Because if your pH is too alkaline, which most people have a problem with to too much alkalyn they can't absorb calcium, they can't absorb minerals like they used to. So what happens especially with calcium is calcium starts building up in the soft tissues throughout the body. So you have the soft tissue calcification, and you see people that are getting older, they getting stiff, they have arthritis bursitis they get calcium developing on the eyes as cataracts on the joints is arthritis on the nerves is neuritis. The kidney is kidney stones on the gall bladders, gall stones, and the teeth is tartar. That could come from a pH problem. It's a alkalosis of systemic alkalosis, which is your whole body is too alkaline. One of the things that I like to do as well as make sure they're taking the fat soluble vitamins to transport that calcium out like vitamin D and K two. But in this video, we're going to talk about the pH piece of this thing. Now what causes this alkaline state? It has to do with this in this book. It's called sybilla Encyclopedia of endocrinology volume for Frank netter, MD. This is one of the main books that is used in medical schools. And it's a great physiology book to help you get some of the facts and how the body works. So right here, if you look on the page that talks about high cortisol, that's the stress hormone. It talks it high stress, high cortisol causes alkalosis, it makes your body to alkalyn. So unless you don't live on planet Earth, you might not have this problem. But most people I know live in Planet Earth, we have a lot of stress, their bodies become too alkaline over time, the worst thing you could do is start drinking alkaline waters. Now it's okay to drink water that's already alkaline, but don't try to alkalize it to at eight or nine, or because you're going to make your body worse. And then you won't be able to absorb calcium and things like that. So with adrenal over like stress and cortisol, you become too alkaline, and you lose this little thing called H plus, if you ever taken calcium, I'm sorry, chemistry, you'll notice that h h plus is an acid. So in other words, the adrenal causes you to lose acid to the urine and become too alkaline. So here's all the effects that stress can create an alkaline body, which then blocks calcium. So you have all this calcium that plugs up everything, but it's unavailable to so you start getting the twitch and the left die. You ever notice when people go get stressed they start twitching. You know what that you know why that is? Because it changes the pH and the person can absorb calcium. So then this is a calcium deficiency. So you could take calcium, but if the pH isn't right, it won't work. The best thing to do if you have that Twitch is to drink outside of vinegar. Boom, drop the pH to make more acidic, calcium gets mobilized and the twitch goes away. cramping in the calf, outside of vinegar is the best thing to mobilize the calcium and get rid of cramping, calf's nerve pain neuritis, especially like migraine pain with arthritis that may be a move from this joint to this joint to this joint. Oh my gosh, give them the opposite of vinegar, they are happy. So. So a stress you become too alkaline, you lose acid and you lose potassium. And the only reason I'm bringing up this potassium, which is a little extra thing is that alkaline bodies tend to have a potassium loss. And then when you lose potassium, you actually make the person more alkaline. So they kind of work together.
You know, people say well drink outside of vinegar to increase your potassium. That's not what's gonna do it outside of vinegar will help increase your potassium because you'll stop losing the potassium and you'll you'll make the body more acidic and like it should be. And so that'll help the potassium and just think about Look at this. Potassium deficiency, high blood pressure, constipation, feeling of weakness, fatigue, irregular heartbeats. You know when you hear these claims about episode of vinegar, hearing all these different things, high blood pressure A patient weakness, irregular heartbeats. It's because of the the retention of the potassium. Because the chain reaction that occurs after getting the pH in the correct level, people that drink a lot of protein drinks, or they eat too much protein, let's say to do the Atkins diet, or they're doing this high protein diet, what happens? There's the waste from that. Protein is called guanidine. It's a chemical. Very, very, very, very, very alkaline. Okay? And so that can cause twitching, nerve pain, and a lot of arthritis. Okay. Even when you do like the ketosis diet, and you're doing more protein, you may feel stiff, you might feel more arthritic, shrinks and outside of vinegar, it flushes this thing out so nicely. So apple cider vinegar is the antidote to the residue of high protein with too much protein for your liver and your body. So it's a really good cleanser. So this acid upset of vinegar, helps absorb minerals, helps mobilize calcium helps you digest protein better without the waste, it helps the immune system. And that's the last thing I want to talk about. You've heard that people will take out like vitamin C for a cold, right, or for a virus infection. It's not the vitamin C necessarily, that's creating the big effect because most people aren't even taking vitamin C, they're taking vitamin C look alike, or fake vitamin C, called ascorbic acid, which is not really true vitamin C complex, which I'll get I'll have people disagree on this video. Because they make you can make synthetic vitamin C from ascorbic acid, and cornstarch. First of all, corn has no vitamin C, of course, starts has no vitamin C, ascorbic acid is no vitamin C, how can you take two things that don't have vitamin C and mix them together and make ascorbic acid and think that's vitamin C, it's just it's fake. The real benefit of vitamin C or ascorbic acid is the asset. You'd be much better taking the acidic acid to help your immune system if you get a cold. If you have a fever, viral infection, start taking the upside of vinegar, it's really really important. So these are the true benefits of upside of vinegar, because it is solidifies in Auckland body. So the next section, I'm just going to show you a little concoction that I make and I drink on a regular basis. Okay, so let me show you how to make this. This isn't my book, Chapter 10. It's called the cranberry drink, it should be called the opposite of vinegar drink. Very simple. And you really should try this, because it will help you lose weight. If you drank one of these before you ate three times a day, you would lose a lot more weight because it stimulates the thyroid and acidifies the stomach. The only thing that I would recommend if you if you have a very slow metabolism is you might want to omit the cranberry juice. So you get the Bragg's upset of vinegar, I like this the best and simply teaspoon in some water actually due to two teaspoons in the water before each meal. And some people say don't consume water before a meal, but we're sick which is an acid drink so it's going to help stomach acids. But check this out. This is my favorite lemon juice, Italian volcano lemon juice, organic lemon juice. And this stuff is magical. It's wonderful. And you get it from the store. It's grown on these, these soils where these the volcanic ash fertilize the soil. So you just do a teaspoon of this lemon right here. You don't have to use this lemon juice, you can use other lemon juice, you can use lemons. I like that lemon juice because I'm spoiled cranberry juice, make sure you read the back label and it just comes from whole cranberries because some people get the one that has extra grape juice or apple juice. You don't want that. Just do a teaspoon of this.
And basically this is your drink. Now I like to and this is just me you don't have to do this. You can add some ginger and there's some ginger root that you can shred in there and it makes it a little spicy. I basically have this ginger extract that you can get it's a liquid form. It's like ginger juice and you pull ginger is real spicy. There's a lot of great properties. It's a very good tonic. Again, if you can't stand the taste, chances are you probably don't need it.
Okay if you really need it, you will crave It makes you feel better. But I really want you to try this real simple drink test before you eat and watch how much better you feel. Okay, so go ahead and do this and give me some comments below. I'll see you in the next article.
