Bone Builder Basic
Bone Builder is a great supplement to strengthen, remineralize & grow healthy bone. It contains hydroxyapatite, which is about 70% by weight the makeup of skeletal bone. It is also about 96% of the enamel in teeth. And about 70% of the dentin in teeth. Not only does it help for conditions like osteopenia, osteoporosis and other bone growth diseases, it is also very effective at reducing the healing time for fractures in bones. For best results, combine with 5,000-6,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 per day.

Heartburn & Reflux Protocol
Heartburn & Reflux Protocol IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Most believe that heartburn & reflux are due to too much acid production. In actuality, heartburn & reflux are due to TOO LITTLE acid production. The 2 Primary Root Causes of Low Acid Production in the Stomach Are: •Too much inflammation in the digestive tract •Altered gut microbiome   So, how do you fix these?   You will need to follow the below 3 steps:   •Lower Inflammation •Improve Gut Microbiome •Add Acid & Improve Acid Production   STEP 1   For a time period, you’ll need to eliminate the most pro-inflammatory items from your diet.   The top 3 are:   •Refined Sugar •Seed Oils •Processed Grains   If you are not supplementing with Vitamin D3 & Omega 3’s, you may want to consider doing this as well.   Roughly 70-80% of Americans are deficient in these 2 nutrients. It is also CRUCIAL to have sufficient levels of these if you want to properly regulate inflammation in your body.   Hence, my suggestion of supplementing with them.   STEP 2   Simultaneously, you will want to make sure you are feeding and proliferating your gut microbiome.   This comes from eating sufficient amounts of low glycemic soluble fiber fruits & veggies.   Soluble fiber gets broken down by water, and then feeds your gut microbiome (probiotics).   Generally speaking, these are going to be above ground vegetables (you can also use onions & garlic).   Low glycemic fruits are going to be berries and those growing on harder wood trees (this would exclude bananas, pineapples, grapes, mangos, kiwis, melons, peaches & nectarines).   You’ll want to consume 4-6 cups per day of the above vegetables & fruits, in order to get sufficient amounts of soluble fiber back in your diet. These will in turn proliferate and grow your gut microbiome back up to healthy levels.   You may also want to consider supplementing with a broad-spectrum (8 or more strains) and high-dosage (20+ billion CFU’s) probiotic. Some individuals will need an initial inoculation for the first 30-60 days due to their significantly low levels of healthy bacteria.   The one I use most often with patients is in this protocol.   STEP 3   The third step is to add extra acid to each meal & eventually get your gut to naturally produce more acid, so you don’t have to add extra acid.   When you do Steps 1 & 2, those will improve your natural acid production to sufficient levels.   Most will notice significant improvements in the first 2 weeks.   In my clinic, by 6 weeks, ~70% of my patients’ reflux issues are gone…even if they’ve been suffering for decades. The other ~30% are vastly improved and they need to give the protocol just a little more time so they can be free from the reflux issues that plagued them.   But what do you do in the meantime to reduce the immediate symptoms?   Again, remember, the issues is not ENOUGH acid in the stomach.   So obviously, you’ll want to add acid to your meals. And prior to consuming food.   But how?   I have a “Step A” and a “Step B”.   Step A works for the large majority of people.   Step B is for those who really have a low acid production.   Step A   Right before you eat your meals, take 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of apple cider vinegar (ACV) and mix it with 6-8 oz. (175-240 mL) of water. Then drink that right before you begin eating.   ACV has a pH of 2-3 which will mimic the acid production your stomach should be producing.   I like the brand Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar “with the mother” in it. But any other brand will work. Try and get organic if possible.   After about 2 weeks of doing the above steps, try a meal without taking the ACV and water combo beforehand.   See how you do on your reflux, without it.   Many can stop the ACV at this point because they will realize that they no longer need it (however, continue on with Steps 1 & 2 for at least 6 weeks).   If you go without it, and still have some symptoms, then continue for another week with the ACV & water combo before each meal, and then re-test again without it.   Typically, prior to 6 weeks, you’ll not need the pre-meal ACV/water combo.   Step B   This step is for those that try the ACV & water combo before a meal, for a week, and are still getting reflux symptoms after they eat.   For those individuals, we need a little more acid.   If this is you, I would suggest getting Betaine Hydrochloride HCL   You can find it over the counter. It’s not a medication.   IMPORTANT: The only time you would not want to take this is if you had an ulcer. It can make the symptoms worse. ALSO, do not chew the tablets/capsules. It’s an acid, and you do not want to do this.   How To Take   First, always take with your first bite of food. DO NOT take on an empty stomach, and then begin eating 10+ minutes later. It is best to simply take with your first bite of food at a meal.   Second, start with one capsule containing 500-750 mg of Betaine Hydrochloride, with your meal. You will probably want to take it with a sip of water.   You will consume this with each meal.   Try this for 1 week.   If after 1 week, your symptoms are not gone or significantly better, you can take 2 capsule with your first bite of food. Most will not need to get to this step. However, there is a smaller percentage of the population that have such low acid production naturally, they will need even more help.   As your body begins to heal and improve by following all the steps listed above, you can then begin to reduce your betaine hydrochloride ingestion.   Eventually, you will be able to stop the betaine hydrochloride and go down to the ACV in Step A.   And eventually, you will even be able to stop the AVC with each meal.   How Long Will I Need To Do This?   Most of you will be able to see an elimination of your symptoms within the first 6 weeks, as mentioned above.   However, the majority of those who still have symptoms will see a resolution within 8-10 weeks.   Rarely (less than 5%) will people need to follow this routine for 12 weeks. But it does happen. So, if this is you, stick with the process.   Remember: increased inflammation, an altered gut microbiome, and low acid production is not just affecting your heart burn, reflux & GERD.   These are root underlying issues that affect allergies, autoimmune diseases, immunity, heart health, brain health, energy levels, metabolic health & so much more.   By addressing these root issues, you are not only helping your heart burn & reflux, but you are also doing SO MUCH MORE for your overall health & quality of life!   While change is difficult at times, I promise you that it will be well worth going through the above steps & addressing the root causes!   Just test me. Follow the above steps & see if you don’t get way more out of it than simply eliminating your heart burn & reflux ;-)
