REFLUX GONE FOREVER, Natural Acid Reflux Remedies

My poor little mother...how horrifying it must have been to have

her first born child reject her own mother's milk. She had

dreamed about having her first baby since she was a small girl.

It would be such a wonderfully nourishing experience to hold her

new born child while suckling her breast. What normal mother has

not enjoyed these fantasies about child birth? She was so young

and delicate and naive.

I had been a most difficult birth. She, of course, had wanted to

deliver me in the most natural way, but the doctors had to resort

to cesarean section. She was in a much weakened condition when

we left the hospital.

The very first time that she breast fed me, I screamed with great

pain, pursed my little red face and spewed sour milk all over the

room, rejecting that precious natural gift of love. She tried

over and over again to feed me. I was an eight pound baby boy

and was ravenously hungry. She was all alone and desperately

afraid for my well being. WW2 was just ending and my father, who

was in the Coast Guard, was stationed five hundred miles away, in

Florida.

Lucky for both of us, my great uncle Everett was a pediatrician.

He knew exactly what to do. He instructed my mother how to

correctly prepare Cream of Wheat for a new born child. It had to

be cooked in a double boiler for at least two hours in order for

it to be soft enough for an infant to digest. My mother said

that when she fed me that Cream of Wheat, I smiled for the very

first time.

I did grow out of my acid reflux condition. By the age of two, I

had no symptoms at all. In fact, I was gerd free for more than

thirty years. But something changed and I started gradually

suffering from indigestion again. It happened to me after a

particularly stressful period in my life. I had become an

accomplished cook and consequently I was eating food that was far

too rich with fat. I had also become somewhat of a wine

aficionado, as well. The combination of the stress, food and

wine simply did me in.

At first, I would drink baking soda dissolved in water and try to

regurgitate, when heartburn became overwhelming. After resorting

to this too many times, I realized that I had developed a hiatal

hernia. This, of course, compounded the situation. My doctor

scolded me and prescribed antacids. Little did I know at the

time that antacids contain more aluminum than even baking soda.

I then graduated to proton pump inhibitor drugs (PPI). My doctor

prescribed Prilosec. It was truly incredible. I could eat

anything that I wanted and never have indigestion. It was a

cook's dream come true! I was the American Dream personified -

a person who could abuse their body and never feel the pain or

inconvenience of doing so.

Everything was going along just hunky dory until one night, after

a particularly huge French dinner in New York City; I had an

atrocious case of acid reflux. I was abruptly awakened from a

deep slumber by the acute pain of acid regurgitating from my

mouth onto the bed linens. I was horrified. I was three days

old again and in pain. This couldn't be happening to me!

I went back to the doctor and he told me to double the dosage.

After two months of this, I became increasingly worse. I

realized that the PPI drug was not working anymore. I did some

research and found out that you are only supposed to take these

drugs for eight weeks at the most. I had been taking them for

years with my doctor's approval. After further investigation

I found that there are hundreds of potentially harmful side

effects associated with PPI drugs.

I was very confused as to what to do. My doctor said that

surgery was the only answer, at this point. He also advised me

that this surgery was not always effective and was very

dangerous. The procedure is called fundoplication, which entails

removing the damaged part of the esophagus and attaching the

remaining section to the stomach.

That did it. I was now determined to find a natural way to beat

this terrible condition. It wasn't easy, but after a great deal

of research and experimentation, I did cure myself. I talked to

everyone I could find who knew anything about the subject. I

read hundreds of books and articles. I scoured the internet for

new breaking information. I tried every method I could find;

herbs, tonics, special foods, plant extracts, exercises, Chinese

formulas, yoga, and meditation - you name it and I tried it!

I finally found the correct combination of items and methods.

They were all safe and natural. I was astounded to discover how

easy it really was to actually cure acid reflux. Herbs like

marshmallow and slippery elm not only have a soothing affect on

the throat and esophagus, but aid in the healing process.

Certain meditations actually can alter the PH factor of the body.

Plants like ginger and licorice can reduce the acid in your

stomach, naturally. The list goes on and on. I now live a

normal life with healthy eating habits and I don't depend on

harmful drugs.

So, you see, I will not carry acid reflux to the grave. Had I

listened to my doctor, I would probably already be there. I

would encourage anyone not to resort to drug therapy or surgery,

but to explore the natural possibilities that can be used to cure

the acid reflux condition.
