REFLUX GONE FOREVER, Natural Acid Reflux Remedies

http://www.refluxgoneforever.com/

The medical community would have you believe that only drugs can

treat and heal acid reflux disease. This is simply not true -

there are natural ways to heal this condition. PPI drugs

(proton pump inhibitors), like Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid and

Protonix should only be be taken for eight weeks, at most.

Doctors are aware of this, but most patients continue to take

these drugs on a permanent basis. Unfortunately, there are no

studies determining what the long term effects of these drugs are

on the human body.

PPI drugs actually shut down the pumps that produce the stomach

acid necessary to digest food. You have to wonder how the human

body digests and assimilates food properly without stomach acid.

How does a body remain healthy without the proper digestion of

food? Is this natural?

I used to suffer from acute acid reflux. I was addicted to a PPI

drug... that 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 went off the charts. I realized

that these were probably side effects of the PPI drug. I did

some research and found that there were hundreds of possible

harmful side effects, including: Headache, diarrhea, nausea,

abdominal pain, dry mouth, aggravated constipation, enlarged

abdomen, back pain, chest pain, anemia, allergic reaction,

hypertension, tachycardia, goiter, tinnitus, facial edema,

conjunctivitis, vision abnormal, aggravated depression,

dizziness, hypertonia, nervousness, cystitis, insomnia, migraine,

anorexia, acne, dermatitis, glycosuria, hyperuricemia,

hyponatremia, arthritis aggravated, tongue edema, ulcerative

stomatitis, impotence, insomnia, to name a few.

I mean, who needs tongue edema, impotence or aggravated

constipation? Good God! I knew that I had to stop taking this

drug! But when I tried, the acid pumps, which had been shut off

for so long, went wild and produced more acid than ever before. I

have never suffered so much in my life....even drinking water

gave me severe indigestion. My doctor suggested that I get back

on the pill. He had no other advice to offer.

I became determined to beat this dreadful condition - beat the

curse of the big drug companies! I really had no choice,

because medical science, apparently, had no solution for my

problem. I began extensive research on the subject and found out

some very interesting things.

Acid reflux is big business. It's a drug company's dream come

true. Millions of Americans suffer from acid reflux. Many

millions more experience the pain of heartburn, ranging from

once a month to every day. This affliction is the result of the

splashing up of fluids from the stomach into the esophagus. These

fluids are composed of hydrochloric acid, pepsin and

occasionally liver bile. Stomach fluid helps break down the food

we eat so that it can be digested. The hydrochloric acid in the

stomach fluid helps prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying in

the stomach and intestines. Although hydrochloric acid also helps

the body absorb vitamins and nutrients, it is a very strong

corrosive. The stomach holds this powerful acid in check with a

special protective lining. The esophagus, however, does not have

this protection. When acid splashes up through the lower

esophageal sphincter into the esophagus, we have the problems of

heartburn, gerd, or acid reflux. This condition, if left

unchecked, can eventually lead to Barrett's Disease, or cancer

of the esophagus.

Of course, I found all this to be quite scary and, since drugs

were not the answer for me, I had to find alternative ways to

treat this condition. I researched the subject even further and

found a plethora of natural things that could heal acid reflux.

First of all, I learned that acid reflux is not a disease, but a

condition that begins when the esophagus becomes irritated.

Let's say that you are watching an exciting ball game on TV.

Someone hands you a bag of corn chips and without thinking, you

eat them too fast, without chewing properly. The jagged edges

of the chips have caused little lacerations in the esophagus that

you're not even aware of. Later that evening you are invited to

a Mexican chili party. The spicy tomato sauce in the chili

further irritates those injuries. You wash down the chili with

alcohol or soda, making it even worse. Before you know it, you

have a full blown case of acid reflux. Until you allow your

esophagus to heal, you will continue to suffer from this

condition.

I was astounded to find that the esophagus can be healed in about

three days. Simply eating foods that are easy to digest, three

or four times during the day, and omitting the regular big meals,

is the key. I ate fruits like bananas, melon and apples during

the day. I snacked on walnuts and almonds. I found that eating

slowly in a relaxed atmosphere and chewing food well helped

enormously. There are foods and drinks which should obviously be

avoided like those which are fried, spicy, or too crunchy.

Alcohol and carbonated drinks are a definite no-no . We are all

aware of which foods trigger our indigestion. You just have to

avoid them for a few days until you are over the hump.

There are many natural herbs and health store items which can

assist in this healing process. Slippery elm, Twig tea, aloe

vera juice, licorice products and orange peel extract can be of

great value, just to mention a few. Removing stress from your

life is essential during this period. Yoga and meditation are

worth considering to ward off the daily angst.

I managed to stop taking those harmful and expensive drugs, in

favor of natural remedies. I cured my acid reflux condition. I

am drug free. You can do it too.
