The only area inside your body that should be acidic is your stomach acid, every other organ, tissue or cell maintains the opposite effect, which is called alkaline.
Your stomach acid composition is so caustic it has an acidic pH factor of 2 to 4 . . . zero being the absolute most acidic on the pH scale.

The composition of your stomach acid is so very corrosive it takes special muscles that protect you from one of the most chemically burning substances in the world- your natural stomach acid.
Once you realize how incredibly acidic your stomach acid is, it’s hard to believe it’s constantly produced by your body. In fact the hydrochloric elixir of gastric lava you call your stomach acid is so dangerous it can etch glass.
Diamonds can cut, but actually being so powerful a liquid as to burn glass is amazing.
It’s no wonder millions of people rush to the doctor for some kind of relief for acid reflux. Think of a prescription antacid as a chemical fire extinguisher. Problem is you don’t want to literally extinguish your gastric fire, you simply want to stop it from “erupting” into a painful chemical flash, burning up into your more sensitive oral regions.
The composition of your stomach acid is a blend of powerful salt molecules like sodium chloride (NaCL) at 0.5%, some hydrochloric acid and mostly potassium chloride (KCL).
Potassium chloride is the largest part of Mama Nature’s cutting edge recipe to stomach acid. Potassium Chloride is sometimes called “muriate of potash.” It’s interesting to note here that Potassium chloride is used in the chemical execution of criminals that undergo lethal injection, as well as fertilizer and even as a salt substitute in food processing.
Sodium chloride, A.K.A. common table salt, or halite, is the most abundant ionic compound in sea water. The reason common salt works so well as a preservative is that it sucks all the water out of bacteria through “osmotic pressure.”
Health experts agree that raw “unprocessed” sea salt is the best way to take sodium chloride because you also get all the other 72 trace “ionic” minerals necessary for proper cell function.
Sodium chloride becomes toxic to your cells unless you also have enough potassium to balance it out. Potassium helps pump water into cells, sodium chloride has the opposite effect.
Life can’t exist without minerals, but they have to be in an “ionic” or charged form. Another example is that “ionic” calcium, without a balance of “ionic” magnesium, can become toxic to cells as well. So you can see how raw “ionic” sea salt would be the best source of “ionic” minerals now, right?
Truth is your body can’t create the composition of stomach acid without these negatively charged minerals called “ionic” minerals, or salts.
So remember, you are the salt of the earth, so don’t abuse it . . . properly use it!
