Modern medicine wants you to believe heartburn comes from too much acid.
But after years of pharma pills, Senator Ron Johnson still found no relief.
Then he discovered something called hydrochloric acid, and once he started taking it, everything changed.
Senator Ron Johnson dropped the first of two bombshell personal health stories when Carlson asked why Americans keep getting sicker, even as healthcare costs continue to skyrocket.
That’s when Johnson opened up about his personal experience with statin drugs—and what happened after he stopped taking them.
He told Carlson that his severe dizzy spells vanished the moment he quit statins.
Tucker Carlson was astonished. “What?!” he exclaimed.
The dizzy spells weren’t the only thing that went away.
Senator Johnson explained that he’s had “a number of health conditions that just improved as a result” of stopping statins.
One possible way Johnson believes statin drugs may have harmed him is through his sudden loss of hearing. It’s difficult to prove, but he can’t help but wonder if the statins played a role.
Even more concerning, many doctors in the alternative health space are now suspecting that statin drugs could be associated with dementia.
Carlson responded to the claim, saying, “That’s really scary right there.”
Senator Johnson declared that the medical establishment would never admit statins cause dementia—even if it were true—because they’re the most commonly prescribed drugs in America, and there’s too much money at stake.
“That’s a multi-billion dollar industry right there,” he said.
Senator Johnson’s personal story about statins is not unique. Dissenting doctors have been warning about the dangers of statins for some time.
Medical researcher A Midwestern Doctor, a top Substack author, writes:
“There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and that lower cholesterol significantly INCREASES one’s risk of death.”
“Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are MINISCULE (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are VAST (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).”

After shocking Carlson with a bold story about statins, Senator Johnson hit him with another jaw-dropping tale about how he cured his acid reflux disease with hydrochloric acid after years on Zantac, Prilosec, and Nexium with no luck.
Tucker Carlson’s reaction said it all.
The medical industry wants you to believe heartburn is caused by too much acid.
Senator Johnson discovered the opposite—the real issue was too little.
After he started supplementing with betaine HCl, his reflux symptoms disappeared.
Johnson says it worked better than anything doctors ever gave him, even when he only remembers to take it about half the time before meals.
The work of Dr. Jonathan Wright explains exactly why Senator Johnson suddenly found relief.
He documented that hydrochloric acid plays a critical role not just in digestion, but in triggering the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to close.
Without enough acid, the LES stays loose, allowing stomach contents to leak into the esophagus and trigger reflux.
As Wright showed over two decades ago, supplementing with betaine HCl can often reverse acid reflux by restoring this natural closure mechanism.
Read more on that here.
Johnson’s experience mirrors what thousands have seen after restoring their stomach’s natural acid levels.
At the end of the day, hydrochloric acid is exactly what your stomach is designed to produce.
Sometimes the solution isn’t high-tech. It’s just common sense.
Thanks for reading. This conversation dives into everything they don’t want you talking about: 9/11, the defense budget, COVID, and more.

My wife puts honey in her apple cider vinegar dose.................
I keep the Ginger Kombucha drinks in my fridge. They sell them in the produce section of the supermarkets.
They have the ginger to settle your stomach and the vinegar acid too.
I tried Kombucha once. Tasted awful.................
Needs to be primaried ASAP!
What you are burping up has a small amount of acid. If it had lots more, you wouldn’t be burping anything as the LES could close and prevent it.
That’s exactly right. Indigestion and GERD are from LOW stomach acid, not high. Supplement with stomach acid, which is HCL and you’ll get great relief.
FYI, I started intermittent fasting last December. Mostly because my weight hit 213. I am 62 and 5’ 9”.
My wife and I both fast for about 36 hours twice a week.
In January I had my annual physical after only fasting for one month. My total chloresterol dropped from 290 to 205. It has not been 205 since I was in my twenties. I tried five different statins and stopped all of them due to muscle weakness.
As of this morning I weighed 187. My goal is to get back to 175 which is waht I should weigh.
Manuka honey is wonderful for a sore throat or cough. I let it melt in my mouth, swallow to coat my throat, then don't drink anything for half an hour. Amazing stuff.
Main stream propaganda will say he’s telling people to drink acid, like they did with Trump and bleach.
Yes!! low stomach acid makes your gut bloat (due to proliferation of bad bacteria as acid kills them), causing the sphincter at the top of your stomach to stay open, allowing acid to enter your esophagus
When mixing your HCL cocktail, just remember “add the acid to the water, just like you ottta”
Sounds interesting - thanks for the post!
Don't go by BMI numbers, they are bogus............
you’re completely wrong
Some pills are made to make you take other pills aka sales?.
can’t be that huh Moe.

Also dry between your toes with your socks before you put them on. Never had athletes foot again.
Statins do no such thing. Statins block the HMG-CoA pathway which produces a number of important things, cholesterol is only one of them.
This is like curing a nose bleed by putting a tourniquet around the neck. See!?!?! The nose stopped bleeding therefor it must be the correct way to address the issue.
Wait until the practitioners of (ignoring all the) evidence based medicine discover the magic of plastic bags tied over the head.
A side effect of statins is ....... “dry mouth”. Not just mouth, everything. Eyes, anything that uses/secrets moisture. When I started taking them years ago I noticed a marked increase in discomfort in dry eyes — my contacts were very difficult to wear. Went to Drs office and reviewed the meds’ write up. (this is waaaay before such was on the WWW) This is where the Pharm spells out test results and such. 5% of users are expected to suffer “dry eyes”. Oooh, lucky me.
So, I quit my contacts and watched my cholesterol drop like a stone.
Side effects of a decrease across the board ?
