RE: Re: acid reflux disease - a self treatment - no drugs- Mike, pls note

[Guest guest]

Mike:

You taught my dtr. Meaghan this technique on Aug. 14 and she finds it

works wonderfully well. She gets acid reflux in the middle of the night

and uses it every night since your visit and also in the daytime. She

is so pleased with being able to relieve the discomfort herself, and is

also using the accupressure point you showed her for

constipation....just goes ahead and does it without even saying anything

to me. The info obviously really stuck with her....so great.

Thanks so very much for all the wonderful methods you taught us, but

especially for being able to give Bill a firm grasp of the underlying

principles. He really understands now.

Mark Spitz defeats acid reflux disease

makers of Nexium. ...

I've posted on this before, but will do so again.

There is a technique in visceral manipulation that can take out GERD

with nothing more than a thumb or fingertip in less than two minutes.

At the base of the rib cage, bottom of the sternum, two centimeters

to the left of the Xyphoid Process (the bone at the bottom of the

sternum), is where all the problem is. That is the location of the

esophogeal sphincter (the valve that leaks that causes the reflux in

the first place).

Put the thumb of your left hand (or a finger tip of your right hand)

against that spot. Use light pressure - do NOT push in hard. Now,

right at that level, bend forward maybe 5-10 degrees. Bending

forward gives you all the pressure you need.

While maintaining that same pressure, straighten up just past

vertical (maybe 5 degrees), rotate your shoulders to the right, and

press with your thumb (or finger tip) diagonally toward your left

hip. Do all three things at the same time.

You get reflux in the first place because the valve is not sealing

properly. The above technique changes the stretch angles of the

esophagus and sphincter and causes the valve to seal.

Valve sealed equals no reflux.

Since the 5th of May, Darlene still has not taken so much as one

Tums. I have had favorable reports back from a few others along

the way on this trip who have also tried it with success.
