Does everyone remember that video of the Florida doctor saying if you got the vaccine and you were OK afterwards, you were basically lucky? He then said one of the possible reasons you were OK is because you may not have had a lot of stomach acid. Ever since i watched that video, I have wondered if thats why i had a 2 week spell of Covid.. or whatever it was.. i never tested myself.. but im curious about something, if stomach acid is a contributing factor to a worse outcome with the spike protein, then why would a medicine such as prilosec, which is suppose to lessen stomach acid, be marked online as something to stay away from when talking about covid. I googled the words prilosec and covid and the first couple of results were very straightforward to stay away from this drug. I just got prescribed it.. im sure its over the counter as well.. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Omeprazole fucked me up.
You reduce stomach acid, then the yeast kicks in. You get candida and that leads to GERD and eventually thrush. Yeast = bubblies = GERD.
If you have stomach acid problems, omeprazole, in my experience, supplies temporary relief and guarantees an exponential increase in symptoms after it wears off.
If you ask me, it's a scam. It puts you on the stomach acid subscription model.
What helped me out were probiotics:

For the first day, take 2 every meal, one before one after. Then the next week 1 every meal. The next week, one every day until they're gone.
I used to have shards of glass in my throat, got put on the highest doses of anti-acids and acid reducers (worse than anti-acids) and then my ENT skipped town and never tapered off the dose like she said she would. Left me in a shitty place.
Stumbled on a probiotic talk for curing stomach problems, and I picked out these. You need at least 11 strains, with over 20 CFU. These fit the bill.
Hope this helps.
That does help.. I have a lot of nattokinase I have been stocking up.. would that be similiar to taking a probiotic?
You need a blend of biotics, because you don't know which you're missing.
If your stomach acid is too low for too long, the yeast kills certain stomach bacteria by competitive starvation (they compete for the same food source).
If nattokinase is anything like kimchi or saurkraut, it'll only focus on a select number of biotics, and likely the ones you already have.
You need them hard to get biotics to fill you out. You'll know it's working when you get super bloated on that first day of 2 per meal. That bloating means gas, which means the biotics are being put to work. Once they start competing with themselves, they'll tone down to where they aren't fighting one another out of desperation and the bloating will go away.
Honestly, keep on with the nattokinase (although it may be soy based) and also add in kimchi. Apple Cider Vinegar pills might also serve you well, as yeast doesn't like the apple cider. Too much can hurt your throat, which is why while I'll give a thumb's up to Bragg's , you best be watering that down or taking it in shots with a chaser.
All the above will help, in my experience. Cabbage (kimchi and saurkraut), in particular, is great for your digestion. Lower the carbs and dairy, then increase protein and fiber.
Dude, you know your stuff.. I just started my next semester in college and one of my courses is nutrition.. I may just have to bounce ideas off of you more often 😄 thanks man
Don't take ACV in shots...it destroys enamel...always dilute in a glass of water. Dr. Berg recommended a different brand than Bragg's but I can't remember which. I take ACV every day and have NO yeast problems.
