Re: Update, confusing results (KC) Remember this? oh yes, the acid reflux thing

[Guest guest]

oh yes, KC, I forgot that one,(acid reflux)which I was also told

that I had, givin meds for, what a joke.while I was haveing MCS

attack in the mayo building and had the same pain that I always get

by my heart area and because a MCS attack also causes the reaction in

my stomach. Im still trying to find some good info to figure this

out, but I read about damage to the avole??? cant remember name.

unless breathing air causes acid reflux, haha, I dont think so.and I

also have had a heart attack, I didn't go to the hospital, because it

was late and I refuse to go to the one here, but later called and

described it to a nurse and she confermed it, and it had nothing to

do wiyh acid reflux, not even in the same area, my whole heart and

left arm was in severe pain, big difference from effect of MCS

attack.

Maybe the report or article I posted several months ago questioning

heart disease not actually being a disease but more of an infection,

like the report had mentioned. I tend to want to agree with this

more and more now. Heart disease is an infection....
