someone is saying if i have a hiatal hernia and that illeocal valve or something is letting food back up no matter how much cleansing i do my adrenals will never get better until i fix that via a chiropracter or something along those lines.

I don't know where they are coming up with that.  A hiatal hernia is a tear in the diaphragm and the stomach pushing up through.  This has nothing to do with the adrenals other than the stress it can cause.  And it can indicate a weakness in the tissues, which is often from a lack of vitamin C.  Adrenal stress can lower vitamin C levels to the rest of the body.

And I cannot think of any connection between the ileocecal valve and the adrenals. 

 Interesting indeed. Thanks.

But where does one find a person with stomach pH of 9.8?

 Tks, Hv. Do you consider any particular herbs potentially harmful (to the lungs) if smoked?

Anything smoked has potential dangers for the lungs since you will form tars and other particulates that can cause lung damage.
