12/21/2012: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Nearly everyone has a stomach acid deficiency without having to measure it. The problems appear to be stomach tissue damage that people don't consider, as a result of eating fish bones and other things that damage stomach linings. The other cause is bacteria such as h. pylori as a result of low stomach acid. I have seen quite a few operations on stomachs that are almost like a gel from extreme lysine deficiencies. Those surgeries could have been prevented by taking lysine, proline, vitamin C and glycine. the major components of collagen. Taking collagen supplements in itself appears to cause problems such as tightening of the stomach, so is best taken as components of collagen. So collagen does cause side effects.
Constipation is a result of stomach acid deficiency where there is insufficient stomach acid, the food remained undigested and it cannot get through the stomach! This simple lack of understanding in hospitals, at least in Thailand, is why hospitals have trouble dealing with constipation that is caused by lack of stomach acid. But those with somewhat low stomach acid will respond well to most laxatives that are geared to getting more liquids in the intestines, such as sorbitol, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, or a lubricant such as coconut oil, but they are generally missing the step of increasing the stomach acid. So the fact that some people are skinny does not exactly mean they are healthy, because they may lack stomach acid to get their food through. The stomach acid are produced when the body is in somewhat more alkaline state in the body having sufficient nutrients in the liver to supply the nutrients delivered to the stomach so they can produced the stomach acid in the first place.
I have one client that went to all the hospitals in North and Northeast of Thailand because he has hepatitis C, and he was sure to die as a result of being constipated. He can't go to the bathroom for about an entire month! He used laxatives of all kinds and were no longer effective. He was sent home to die. No hospitals would admit him, so he came to see me to help his hepatitis C. So the first order of the day was Hydrochloric acid, he went to the bathroom five times in about 3 or 4 hours he was with me. The hospitals here missed entirely the use of hydrochloric acid to deal with constipation. As far as his hepatitis C and cancer from hepatitis C, that's no problem because dietary restrictions of sugar, honey and carbs but also nutrients that help his deficiencies. So it was not a major concern and he is currently doing fine.
Magnesium oxide when mixed with water, you get magnesium hydroxide, a common laxative called Milk of Magnesia. The problems with the stomach negatively responding to lemon juice may be caused by a physical stomach injury such as eating fish bones, bacteria infections, or a severe deficiency. Usually lysine and vitamin C are needed for stomach repairs. I think betaine Hydrochloride can normalized stomach acid, but dealing with injury from infection and deficiency appears to be the cause.
