Why do stomach ulcers occur? The real culprit isn't acid.
Dr. Berg points out that many patients believe stomach ulcers are caused by "too much stomach acid," but this is not the case. The real cause is damage to the protective lining of the stomach wall and Helicobacter pylori infection .
When the mucus layer in the stomach is damaged, stomach acid comes into direct contact with the tissues, forming ulcers. At this point, using large amounts of antacids will only suppress stomach acid, disrupt the balance, and delay repair .
Dr. Berger emphasized, "Acid is not the enemy; the loss of the protective layer is where the problem begins."

Helicobacter pylori's "survival strategy"
Helicobacter pylori is present in about 80% of the world's population and is mostly non-pathogenic. However, it can take advantage of weakened immune systems when stomach acid is excessively suppressed, diet is unbalanced, or immunity is lowered.
It survives by secreting an enzyme that produces ammonia , which neutralizes stomach acid and alters the stomach's pH level. However, this process also damages the stomach lining, leading to inflammation and ulcers.
This is why some people still experience a vicious cycle of burning sensation, stomach pain, and acid reflux even when using antacids.
"Carnosine Zinc": An inexpensive yet overlooked natural repair agent
Dr. Berger discovered that a supplement called ** zinc carnosine ** was hard to find on the market , even though it had been clinically proven to be effective in repairing gastritis and ulcers.
This natural compound combines zinc and carnosine , allowing it to remain in the stomach long enough to form a protective layer and promote tissue repair .
The three main mechanisms of action of carnosine zinc:
- Inhibits the enzyme activity of Helicobacter pylori : blocks its ability to produce ammonia, restoring the stomach to a healthy acidity.
- Promotes mucus secretion and has antibacterial properties : Zinc can increase the protective layer inside the stomach and also kill bacteria.
- Reduce inflammation and repair damage : After carnosine is broken down, it releases β- alanine, which can increase the content of the antioxidant "carnosine " , reduce inflammation and strengthen the intestinal barrier.
In addition, carnosine zinc can increase the natural production of histamine, helping stomach acid return to normal levels, thereby restoring digestive function and stomach wall regeneration.
Correct dosage and supplementary recommendations
Dr. Berger suggests:
- Take 150 mg of carnosine zinc daily , divided into two doses of 75 mg each, in the morning and evening .
- Duration of use : 1 to 3 months
- If the ulcer is very painful, you can temporarily use baking soda water to relieve the soreness.
- Combined with liquid chlorophyll , it helps repair the mucous membranes of the esophagus and stomach.
He added, "Carnosine zinc doesn't work as quickly as medication, but it truly repairs the problem from the root, rather than just relieving pain."
After repair, how can we prevent recurrence?
The healing of ulcers does not mean the end; if diet and habits are not changed, the problem will recur.
The key to prevention lies in:
- Avoid long-term reliance on antacids or painkillers
- Reduce intake of refined sugar and starch to prevent bacterial growth.
- Maintaining sufficient stomach acid concentration helps kill bacteria and aid digestion.
- Regularly supplement with zinc, vitamin D , and chlorophyll to maintain stomach lining health.

The key to repairing the stomach is not suppressing acid, but restoring balance.
Dr. Berg concluded, "A truly healthy stomach is not one without acid, but one with sufficient protection and self-repair capabilities."
Once you know how to restore your stomach to its natural acid-base balance, ulcers and gastritis will no longer recur.
