you know that most digestive disorders are not diseases at all,
but conditions which can be completely cured by using natural
techniques and remedies?
The medical community would have you believe that only
prescription drugs can relieve the symptoms of indigestion. This
is simply not the case. Antacids are, at best, a temporary fix
and they are loaded with harmful ingredients such as sodium and
aluminum. PPI drugs should only be used for eight weeks, at most.
Then what are you to do? These drugs only mask and hide the
symptoms and have hundreds of harmful side effects. They do not
heal the condition! They do not make you well! They only make the
drug makers wealthier at your expense!
I used to suffer from acute GERD. I was addicted to a PPI
drug...a "certain colored pill". After several years of taking
this drug, my condition became worse and I was told to double the
dose. I began to feel sluggish and tired. My vision suffered and
my blood pressure soared. I realized that these were possible
side effects of this PPI drug. I did a computer search and found
that there were hundreds of possible side effects. I was shocked
and frightened at what I found! I was harming my body and I
wanted to stop taking this drug! But when I tried to stop the
PPI, he acid pumps, which had been shut off, went wild and
produced more acid than ever before.
I can't tell you how much I suffered. My esophagus was
constantly burning and l feared that I would permanently damage
myself. I couldn't sleep at night. I was afraid to eat or drink
anything but water! I was afraid to go out to dinner. I became a
recluse. I began to loose my friends. They didn't understand my
problem. Friends would call and say, "Let's go out for Mexican,
barbeque or pizza". Of course, I couldn't. I loved to eat hot
chili sprinkled with raw onions and jack cheese, but it was now
my worst nightmare. My life had become unbearable!
I was determined to beat this sickness! My doctor couldn't help
me -no one could tell me what to do. I had to heal myself. I
became completely dedicated to finding the answers. I studied and
researched. I wanted to find naturopathic treatments as opposed
to drugs, so I searched high and low for natural remedies that
might actually cure acid reflux. I tried every possible treatment
that exists, short of voodoo.
I found that the answers to the acid reflux problem are really
quite simple. With a few changes in lifestyle and with the help
of several natural remedies, one can absolutely beat the acid
reflux syndrome, without the use of drugs.
Remember, that the reason this condition exists, in the first
place, is due to a damaged esophagus. Let the esophagus heal by
not eating the same foods in the same way, that caused the
damage. Loosing weight, exercising, chewing properly, drinking
sufficient amounts of water and elevating the head at night, are
all simple things that anyone can do to improve this condition.
There are also many natural ingredients found in any health
store, which an help during the acid reflux recovery period.
Herbs, such as slippery elm and marshmallow have wonderful
healing properties. Aloe vera juice, licorice and natural honey
can sooth the esophagus and assist in the healing process.
By eating dinner at least three hours before retiring, one can
drastically reduce the chances of acid reflux. Chewing gum
between meals actually reduces stomach acid, and if you really
have to have that pasta with tomato sauce, there is always baking
soda as a last resort.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals. I eat four or five little meals
each day. I start the day with Kukicha Twig tea. I then eat
fruit, such as bananas and melons. I have several snacks of
walnuts, almonds and more fruit. For lunch I eat a salad, made
with grilled chicken breasts, or tofu, mixed with hearts of
romaine, tossed with a light lemon and chive vinaigrette.
I have found that it pays to keep the food that you eat as
alkaline as possible. I have developed some wonderful recipes,
such as pasta primavera, baked chicken breasts on mushroom caps
and sautéed white fish on mashed potatoes with green peas. You
certainly don't have to starve yourself, but I suggest that you
stay away from those acid reflux "trigger" foods, until you
have healed your irritated esophagus.
It does take a new approach to life, in general, to heal a
stubborn acid reflux condition. Think of it as a fun challenge.
You'll feel so much better, it will have been work all the
effort.
So please don't resort to those "colored pills". Yes, they are
convenient, but potentially dangerous, in the long run. Take
command of your own health and use natural resources to heal acid
reflux.
