RefluxDoc | Fixing LPR
Summary
TLDRThis video script discusses LPR reflux, a condition affecting the nasal passages and throat, caused by pepsin, a stomach gas. To alleviate symptoms like nasal burning, sore throat, or hoarseness, it suggests using a homemade nasal spray with a solution of alkaline water and Arm & Hammer baking soda. The spray neutralizes pepsin in tissues, aiding recovery. Demonstrations are provided for nasal and throat applications.
Takeaways
- 💧 LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux) affects the nasal passages and throat, leading to symptoms like sore throat, hoarseness, and sinus issues.
- 🧪 Pepsin, a digestive enzyme from the stomach, is the main cause of LPR symptoms when it reaches tissues outside the stomach.
- 💡 A simple remedy involves using a solution made of alkaline water with a pH of 8 or higher, mixed with two tablespoons of Arm and Hammer baking soda.
- 🫧 The solution helps neutralize pepsin that has been absorbed into tissues in the throat or nasal passages.
- 👃 For nasal-related symptoms like burning, drainage, or pain, the solution should be sprayed into the nostrils while inhaling.
- 🗣️ For throat-related symptoms like hoarseness or sore throat, the solution is sprayed into the mouth while inhaling.
- 🕑 The best times to use the spray are after meals, before bedtime, and whenever relief is needed throughout the day.
- 🧴 The solution can be stored in a nasal spray bottle, available at most pharmacies, by emptying out the original contents.
- 🎤 Regular use of the bicarbonate solution can help speed up the recovery process by breaking down pepsin in the tissues.
- 💼 This treatment is easy to implement and provides relief for common symptoms associated with LPR, including voice changes and nasal discomfort.
Q & A
What is LPR and how does it affect the body?
-LPR stands for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, which is a condition where stomach acid travels up into the throat and nasal passages. It can cause chronic sinus problems, nasal drainage, sore throat, difficulty speaking, hoarseness, and other symptoms.
What is the role of pepsin in LPR?
-Pepsin is an enzyme that comes from the stomach and can cause damage when it is deposited in tissues. In the context of LPR, pepsin can lead to chronic sinus problems, sore throat, and other symptoms by being absorbed into the tissues.
How can bicarbonate water solution help with LPR?
-Bicarbonate water solution can help neutralize the acid and destroy pepsin absorbed into the tissues. This can alleviate symptoms and speed up recovery by reducing the harmful effects of acid reflux.
What is the recommended pH level for the alkaline water used in the bicarbonate solution?
-The alkaline water used in the bicarbonate solution should have a pH of at least 8 or higher to effectively neutralize the stomach acid.
How much bicarbonate of soda should be mixed with the alkaline water?
-Two tablespoons of pure bicarbonate of soda, such as Arm and Hammer baking soda, should be mixed with one liter of alkaline water.
How should the bicarbonate solution be applied for nasal symptoms?
-For nasal symptoms like burning or drainage, the solution should be sprayed into the nostril while simultaneously inhaling.
What is the correct method to apply the bicarbonate solution for throat symptoms?
-For throat symptoms like sore throat or hoarseness, the solution should be sprayed into the open mouth while simultaneously inhaling.
When is the best time to use the bicarbonate solution?
-The bicarbonate solution should be used just after meals, at bedtime, and any time throughout the day for relief.
How does the bicarbonate solution help with LPR recovery?
-The bicarbonate solution helps with LPR recovery by destroying the pepsin in the tissues, which hastens the removal of pepsin and speeds up the healing process once the reflux is corrected.
What type of spray bottle should be used for applying the bicarbonate solution?
-An empty nasal spray bottle that can be purchased from a store should be used. The current ingredients should be emptied out and replaced with the bicarbonate solution.
Are there any side effects or precautions to be aware of when using the bicarbonate solution?
-The script does not mention any specific side effects, but as with any treatment, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new therapy, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking medications.
Outlines
💧 Understanding LPR and How to Address It
This paragraph introduces LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux), a reflux type that affects the nasal passages and throat. The key cause is pepsin, a stomach enzyme that turns into gas and deposits in tissues, leading to issues like sinus problems, sore throat, hoarseness, and difficulty speaking. The paragraph emphasizes the challenges in removing pepsin, as it gets absorbed into tissues.
🧪 Simple Bicarbonate Solution for Pepsin Removal
This section explains a practical method to neutralize pepsin using a bicarbonate water solution. The solution is made with alkaline water (pH 8 or higher) mixed with two tablespoons of baking soda (Arm and Hammer brand) in a one-liter bottle. Once prepared, the solution is transferred to a nasal spray bottle, emptied of its original contents. The solution can then be sprayed into nasal passages or the mouth, depending on the symptoms.
👃 Application for Nasal Symptoms
This paragraph explains how to use the bicarbonate solution for nasal-related symptoms such as burning, drainage, or ear pain. Users are instructed to spray the solution into their nostril while inhaling, offering relief from nasal discomfort.
🗣️ Application for Throat Symptoms
The focus here is on using the bicarbonate solution for throat-related symptoms such as hoarseness, sore throat, or voice changes. Users are advised to spray the solution into their open mouth while inhaling, which helps reduce pepsin levels in the throat and vocal areas. This process is recommended after meals, at bedtime, or whenever relief is needed throughout the day.
🧴 Demonstrating Proper Application Techniques
In this final paragraph, the speaker demonstrates the practical steps for both nasal and throat applications. First, they show how to use the solution for throat symptoms by spraying it into the mouth while inhaling. Then, they describe how to spray it into the nostril for nasal symptoms, emphasizing the importance of inhaling during the spray for both applications.

we've talked about LPR type of reflux
that involves the nasal passages or the
throat in the past one of the things
that is easy to do to try and help with
that is a use of some bicarbonate water
solution that you spray into your mouth
of your nasal passages the key element
that causes the disease is something
called pepsin which comes out of the
stomach as a gas and that's then
deposited in the tissues either leading
to the ears called the eustachian tubes
in your nasal passages which can give
you chronic sinus problems and drainage
sore throat is another or difficulty
speaking or hoarseness in order to get
rid of this pepsin it's very difficult
because it's absorbed into the tissue
and we have found one of the easiest
ways is to take a simple water bottle
full of alkaline water with a pH of at
least 8 or higher and some bicarbonate
of soda in this particular case pure
bicarbonate of soda is found in the
product Arm and Hammer baking soda and
you take two tablespoons and you'll mix
it in a one liter bottle of your
alkaline water and following that you'll
spray it into a nasal spray bottle one
that you can buy typically in the store
empty out the current ingredients and
just fill it with the solution that
we've just described so for example if
your symptoms are primarily nasal
burning or nasal drainage you would
spray into your nostril and you would
spray simultaneously as you inhale if
your symptoms are primarily mucus
production voice changes or hoarseness
or vocal fatigue or sore throat you
would do the same thing but instead you
would spray it into your open mouth
allow me to demonstrate that for you
you'll take a typical spray bottle that
you would find in any grocery store or
pharmacy empty out the contents and you
have now filled this with the sodium
bicarbonate solution that we've
described before I'm going to first
demonstrate what you would do if you
have sore throat or vocal changes again
you're going to spray this into your
open mouth spray as you inhale typically
we want you to do this just after meal
time at bedtime and any time throughout
the day you'd like a little bit of
in relief and what the bicarbonate will
do is destroy the pepsin that's absorbed
into the tissues and once your reflux is
corrected
it'll hasten the removal of the pepsin
and therefore hasten your recovery so
I'm going to demonstrate now this is
what you would do if you had more sore
throat type symptoms and again you're
going to just open your mouth and spray
this simultaneously as you breathe if
your symptoms are primarily nasal
drainage or burning in your nasal
passages or pain leading up into your
ears instead you're going to use the
same bottle with the same bicarbonate
solution at the same frequency but we're
going to spray it into a nostril as you
breathe I will demonstrate this first
you remove your glasses and you're going
to spray simultaneously as you inhale
