0:00.0 | So I wanted to do a quick video on itching and hives. |
0:03.6 | There's someone that wanted to know what they can do and what's behind that. |
0:07.2 | What's interesting about hives in itching, whether it's in your feet, to your hands, or your body, |
0:13.2 | is there's always associated either acid reflux or gird or the removal of your gallbladder |
0:19.3 | or liver dysfunction or high cholesterol or gallbladder stones, okay? What do all these |
0:26.3 | have in common? Low bile salts. It drains down from the liver into this little sack called a |
0:32.4 | gallbladder and it's concentrated. So it concentrates by 20 times. And so every time you eat, |
0:38.4 | it releases, it contracts, it releases into the small intestine and the combination between the |
0:44.6 | bile and then enzymes from the pancreas help dissolve the fat and extract fat cyber vitamins |
0:50.0 | and centrafide acid from the food that you eat. So that's happening all the time. And the liver |
0:55.3 | dumps down more. It concentrates. And then the bile when it goes down to the small intestine and |
0:59.6 | the large intestine hits the microbes. The microbes recycle it a lot. So it's like 98% of the bile |
1:05.9 | is recycled. So it's a very efficient system. And the bile is a detergent that helps you break down |
1:11.9 | the grease or speak. And each one of these conditions is associated with low bile. Now it takes |
1:19.6 | a certain amount of acidity in the stomach, a certain pH, to trigger the release of bile as well. |
1:26.7 | So if there's not enough acid in the stomach, what's going to happen is the valve on the top of |
1:32.9 | the stomach is not going to close efficiently and the acid is going to splash back up, okay? So |
1:38.1 | another name for acid reflex is actually good. So these two are really the same thing. |
1:43.0 | Gallbladder removal. If you don't have a gallbladder, you're also going to be deficient in bile too, |
1:47.7 | okay? If the liver, because the liver actually makes bile, if it's not, if it's dysfunctional, |
1:54.5 | or if it's fatty, or if it has something like cirrhosis, scar tissue, you're not going to have |
1:59.2 | enough bile production. Another function of bile salts is to break down cholesterol. So you'll |
