Re-aligning a dropped little tongue. At the onset of a bout of sore throat or flu, the small tongue seems to drop back into the throat, affecting the ability to swollow. and is also very uncomfortable, almost worse than the flu its self. Take a small amount of pepper, preferbly white pepper, on the very tip of a round tipped knife and carefully dab onto the tip of the little tongue. This will pull the tongue back into position.
I tell anyone who will listen about this amazing site.

Alum
Like your grandmother, we always used alum to make pickles crisp. I finally learned that you can use pickle crisp (calcium chloride) to make your pickles crisp without using alum. The pickle folks kept that a secret for many years.
Calcium chloride is a desiccant in that it removes water from the air. It is the product that folks use in their clothes closet to keep the moisture down so their garments do not mildew.
I think you are safe in your use of alum.

Black Tongue Remedies
Okay, I just got my hands on an old Mayo Clinic Family Health Book. I'm going to copy what it says about "Black, hairy tongue": "An overgrowth of bacteria in the mouth can cause discoloration of the tongue. Some types of bacteria and yeast produce red blood cell pigments that may give the tongue a black appearance. In addition, the papillae can grow profusely, causing the tongue to look as though hair covers it." (Copyright 2003)
Hope this helps...I had this some time ago and felt I looked like I was part Chow. I had been on antibiotics.
It is not serious. "You can remove the discoloration and hair-like growths by gently brushing your tongue with your toothbrush." You can pick up some Floss Picks, they are also tongue scrapers.

I have a huge problem that has haunted me since Dec 2009. I believe my issue was induced by a medication. I was taking without prescription, given by a friend, a weight loss pill. I was having a pill on empty stomach, a day. After like 4 days I started having few symptoms like: dry mouth, heartburn, I felt like my mouth was burning, insomnia, I felt something stuck in my throat, nauseous like I wanted to vomit.. I told my friend I wanted to stop it, but since she was taking it too for a month she assured me those symptoms will go away in another week, so I continued taking it since I wanted to lose weight badly, and after the second week I couldn't take it anymore! :( My mouth was on fire!! I looked in the mirror and I saw cuts on my tongue! It was white coated, specially once I wake up it was like white and as day goes by it looks better.. So I got so nervous and scared of what was happening to me, and I stopped the pills. I prayed that this would go away. But everything did except my mouth issues! My tongue was still cracked, and soooooooo dry. The saliva was so sticky, and the taste of my mouth was different. I still have all this symptoms till now. Sometimes I get like a tingling sensation - I describe it as if I have fireworks on my tongue and exploding slowly! - weird but true.
On May 2010, after waiting for feel better, I went to a Gastro and had endoscopy, he said I had extra acid and put me on Nexium. After a month I went to my home country and went to an ENT, he had an upped endoscopy done and told me I had to control my acid, and prescribed Pariet and Nasonex which is a nasal spray. I had to have for 3 months 2 Pariet pills and 2 sprays of Nasonex on nose, and last 3 months no Nasonex, and 1 Pariet pill. He promised me I would be healed by then! But sadly I wasn't, and I live miserable still.
In July 2011 I went back home and also saw a thyroid doctor, my mom said what if it was thryroid related, he then had blood tests done ruled out any thyroid problem. But sent me to ENT, at ENT he examined everything but said he needs to do exams to rule out Sjogern Syndrome, I was like WHAT!! NOT THAT! , then he sent me to Dermatologist and joints doctor. Both ruled out Sjogern. So no one helped me there also!!
I came back home and went to another gastro, I told him I'm feeling a lot of pain in my stomach. I wasn't feeling that before. I told him I have always felt like bloated as if I don't digest my food. I am one of those who feel constipated most of the times. He prescribed anti acid and I am taking that. Let me tell you that I dont feel better after taking anti acids!! I dont know why!! And also, forgot to mention that my tongue bleeds. Its like something pinched it and a drop of blood comes out. I see it only when I feel something on my tongue and once I check on mirror I see the blood! This has happened like twice.
I am female, 29 years old, non smoker, and I have never drank. I have suffered in my teenage years from bulimia, and I was treated for it. I admit that my food intake isn't the best but I don't have a lot of processed food! We eat all week at home and only 1 max 2 days a week outside..
I don't know what to do, I am desperate. We want to try for baby number 2 but it seems impossible feeling like this. My husband thinks I'm crazy and he sometimes shows as if I am crazy. I am not, and it drives me insane people think it is not a big deal and I am making a big deal out of it. But this is serious and I feel it has put a pause on my life. I haven't been the same since then and I regret taking that pill that day :( Please help me?
Should I take Betaine? To be honest I ordered one online and I also ordered those DGL chewable licorice and I am willing to try anything to get back my life.
Thank you all,
Susan

You must first drink plenty of water, as much as you can.
You must absolutely take the stomach acid test whenever you feel bloated and unable to digest your food. This is an important step as it will confirm if whether or not your stomach is producing enough acid to control the pathogens in your body.
The only way to determine if you are secreting a proper amount of acid only when you feel you are not digesting your food properly or feeling bloated is to ingest a least 6 capsules Betaine HCL with plenty of water on a FULL stomach and notice the results after about 5 minutes. If your stomach suddenly feels very light and free from any pain then all along your stomach was not secreting enough acid to kill off the excess pathogens that appears to have invaded your body. IMMEDIATELY STOP if you feel worse after taking HCL Betaine. Make sure you use good quality HCL tablets. If taking Betaine HCL does not improve your condition then switch to ACV instead as this has the ability to kill off the type of pathogens often not possible by using Betaine HCL.
You must increase your pro-biotic intake by eating plenty of Yogurt more often.
Obviously your immune system is taking quite a hit so I recommend you surf on the internet and find what type of food are well known to rebuild the immune system and stick to eating these types of food for a long period of time until your problem goes away. Some examples are pure orange juice, pumpkin seeds because of the high Zinc content, large amount of carrots juice to name a few.
It's clear that you must stop eating processed food at once and increase your fresh vegetable content in your diet. That will make your body more alkaline and more resistant to pathogens.
The blood on your tongue could be caused by Candida overgrowth so you can visit this site and try oil pulling to clean your tongue and at the same time detox your entire body.
Read what many say about how they feel after a couple of days of oil pulling. It's worth a try.
There are still so many other things you can do but for now try the above and let us know the results after a couple of days. I am sure this will make you feel much better.

First of all, ACV seems to be the most popular product in this forum and although I have used it quite extensively in the past, Betaine HCL is by far more superior then everyone is led to believe only if you know how and when to use it. The reason is that Betaine HCL has three major properties that no other natural product of its kind can surpass: (1) helps to absorb major nutrients such calcium, iron and zinc. (2) stimulates the pancreas and gallbladder to function properly thereby reducing the risk of diabetes and gallstones (3) controls bacterias and fungi against the spreading of toxicity to all parts of the body which can result in the occurrence of white tongue and its associated symptoms.
(1) is significant because the lack of absorption for calcium means that it will solidify and eventually be deposited elsewhere in the body which in the long run can cause major damage to many specific parts of the body. Everyone known that lack of iron in the body causes many health problems. As for zinc, lack of it would result into a weakening of the immune system which offers major protection against all sort of diseases including cancer
(2) major cause of gallstone is the lack of gallbladder stimulation that result in excessive deposit of gallstone which if left to accumulate in the gallbladder can be life threatening should a stone permanently block the main bile duct that would allow enzymes to eat away at your pancreas. The most life threatening cancer today is that of the pancreas and chances are by the proper stimulation of this vital digestive organ would allow it to become more resistant to any form of pancreatic diseases.
(3) is the root cause of heartburn, frequent indigestion, complete destruction of the gallbladder and overall body toxicity that can lead to white tongue.
I doubt you can find a better natural product to produce all of the above important benefits for your entire digestive system. Not even ACV comes close to this!!!! METHOD OF INGESTING BETAINE HCL THAT WORKS: After I suffered two major heartburn, I decided to increase my vegetable intake to 80% and eliminate all form of junk food. I can remember one evening staring at a bottle of Betaine HCL and deciding whether or not I should try this product in view of the fact that I have suffered unspeakable pain from 2 earlier heartburns. I thought to myself that this would be like adding gasoline to fire if I consumed this product. So my final decision was to go ahead and take 6 tablets (3 grams) of it and prepare myself for the worst just for experimentation because at that time I was very desperate to resolve what I considered a major health crisis. The outcome shocked me as I could not believe what was happening to me. I had the impression that this product acted like a real TRANQUILIZER that actually made me very sleepy within 5 minutes of absorbing these capsules.
I eventually figured out that I was so toxic with pathogens in my digestive system that the HCL Betaine literally killed them off and as a result my body was not fighting it anymore. It was relief from this exhaustion that put me in a complete relaxed state of mind. Very similar to experiencing sudden relief after a major toothache episode. So whenever I feel that after a meal my food seems to get stuck in my stomach, then I pop a few HCL betaine capsule and within minutes the food seems to follow a normal course of action inside my stomach and as a result I feel much better especially knowing that there will be a much greater absorption of vital nutrients in my body. What is needed is quality research for the future to determine the level of absorption of vital nutrients in relation to the quantity of HCL Betains ingested.
Another significant benefit of this product I discovered is the improved appearance of my stool color. This is generally a very important indicator for the state of your whole digestive system. My stool color was always yellowish that would signified poor gallbladder functionality which in the long term can lead to its complete lack of functionality. When a gall bladder is no longer functioning, it begins to dissolved itself in the body from bacterial infections that can result into a life threatening situation unless it is removed as quickly as possible. Since I began consuming large amount of Betaine HCL, almost immediately I notice my stool color has returned to normal brown color indicating that my gallbladder is still very active. If everyone would pay more attention to Betaine HCL than ACV then I am convinced people in this forum will experience much better health results.
At the present time, each capsule cost me around 7 cents but the greater absorption capability of vital nutrients that keeps me very healthy means I need to eat LESS food for the same health benefits and thus can easily recuperate this cost in extra food I normally would have to consume not mentioning extra supplements required for controlling excessive pathogenic growth because of poor levels of stomach acid. There you have it! What most of us may be overlooking could provide each and everyone of us with much better functionality of the entire digestive system that in the end would result to considerable improvement to overall health condition. Those with ulcers must be aware of the potential risks of this product unless it is used in conjunction with baking soda or any other highly alkalizing natural products. There are no side effects of Betaine HCL other than excessive stomach acid which by the way can never be refluxed back into your esophagus because of the absence of bacterias that normally cause sufficient pressure to displace any amount of stomach acid upward.
It is bacterias that cause heartburn not excessive stomach acid as doctors would want you to believe. The symptoms of excessive stomach acid is a burning tongue and mild upset stomach which is generally easily relieved by consuming dairy products or baking soda without any risk of damaging your esophagus that in the very long run could lead to cancer of the esophagus. I am hoping that this post will instigate many to come forward and describe their own success story with this product which I believe will far outweigh any success achieved by using any other natural product. Because HCL is naturally produce by the body there can never be any overall serious side effects in experimenting with this product especially in view of all scientific literature supporting the importance of always maintaining good levels of stomach acid in the body.

In July, I did extensive searching for hair loss and found Suzanne Sommers blog about hair loss and hypochlorydia--lack of stomach acid. Ran to the store and bought betaine hcl. Immediate relief. Even my sinuses felt lighter. Within a week I didn't feel like sleeping all of the time. Within 2 weeks, we booked our trip to Italy and departed on September 1. The food was delicious and I wasn't sick for a minute. Since then, my hair has thickened remarkably, my arms have lost their sagginess. My sinuses have improved and the size of my knuckles has decreased. I figured that my liver had suffered as a result of all the insufficient digestion, so I started taking liver detox supplements--milk thistle. For the past two months, I've been taking a heaping tablespoon of diatomaceous earth in my coffee with 5 drops of 2 percent lugol's solution.
I feel so much better than I did a year ago. I hope everybody gets the message. Dr. Lawrence Wright, an MD who practices to treat cause rather than symptoms, has a few good videos on youtube about acid reflux.

Only with the right levels of HCL in your stomach can your body absorbed this important element as well as iron which would also explain why you always felt so tire in the past but for no apparent reasons.
You might want to investigate further as to why your stomach produces so little acid. If you are a confirmed case of gastritis like myself which is stomach inflammation then that would definitely explain it. Acid cannot be produced normally if your stomach is inflamed so you have no alternative but to supplement your stomach acid with Betaine HCL until your body gets rid of the inflammation.
In the vast majority of the cases involved low stomach acid production is usually caused by gastritis. Acid reflux follows from the build up of pathogens that would normally be controlled by sufficient levels of stomach acid.
If tests indicate that you do have gastritis then one very effective remedy I know of is MSM which has worked very well for me in the past. Make sure that it is not contaminated with heavy metals as this would make your condition even much worse.
Shop around to make sure it is 99% pure and then try the home test to confirm that you do not have a cheap substitute.

Thank you Mike for your willingness to share their experience and wisdom. People that are looking for healing do not lose time with ACV and baking soda and MSM and all that I reported above. Supplements are great but do not have the power of healing that we all seek in this case, the problems of indigestion, white tongue is a symptom of it, polyps and sores in the nose, gases, sadness, anxiety, depression. Do not waste time and money on what does not work when we need something magical. But I'll post my experience with betaine.
Mike for you I wish you a long life full of peace.

The rescue therapy against H. Pylori requires HIGH DOSAGE OF PPI to expose H. Pylori. The first treatment against H. Pylori was amoxicillin alone but that treatment had very low rate of success. Studies after that showed that when amoxicillin was coupled with an PPI or acid reducer, the eradication rate increased incredibly. That can be understood because H. Pylori NEEDS the acid to survive. The ammonia it produces increases the inflammation of the stomach and it's concentration dependent which means more acid more ammonia. Also HCL makes H. Pylori reproduce to have more colonies to handle the acid. Adding HCL to an infected stomach with H. Pylori is adding gasoline to the fire.

Thank you for replying to my post. I have ordered Betaine HCL but it will take around 1 week to arrive. I am praying every minute that this cures what I have got! I will report back with anything new.
When you said ingest 6 capsules, is that at the same time or all day long?
I have tested for oral candida and always comes back negative, so I have no idea. The anti acid doesn't help me, either if I take them or not I feel the same.
Thanks Mike,

Thank you very much for sharing with us your experience. That also could be explained by the acid killing candida. Because I remember reading that anti acids ( histamine blockers and PPI) can cause Candida infection in the stomach and the esophagus. What do you think?
Betaine Hcl
I'm a bit confused about your theory. You mentioned that ACD works because it's acidic. But some other guys here said that because it's alkalizing. What is the more plausible theory?
Also regarding H. Pylori, HCL presence is crucial for the bacteria and in the rescue therapy, HIGH DOSE of PPI are required to eradicate the bacteria and disturbed the biofilms. You don't think that HCL will just help the bacteria to increase in colonies rather than kill it?
I hope that Mr Ted can help us out here. I'm really confused. Thank you very much Mike :).

I took on empty stomach 2TBSP of ACV with 1/4 tsp of baking soda, I used Ted's recipe, but I dont recall feeling any burning sensation. After drinking it in a cup of water, I had my breakfast which was 1 c of skimmed milk with cereal at work and now I am having a little discomfort. What could be wrong? Does it take a few times to show up? I don't want to feel hopeless.
