Problem with Heartburn/Acid Reflux

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am a 21 year old female, and I have HORRIBLE heartburn. I've

been suffering with this for quite a few years now. Recently, I

decided to try and live a more natural, prescription and OTC

drug-free

lifestyle. If I must take any pills, I want them to be natural

herbs. I've tried everything OTC. I've even tried a few natural

approaches. Nothing seems to work that well, though.

 

A little background information: I could stand to lose some weight,

and I know that would help. I do drink some caffiene. I have

between

one and two cups of coffee a day. My beverage of choice is filtered

water.

 

Recently, I've been taking digestive enzymes. I've tried Papaya

Enzyme capsules that you chew. I've tried drinking Raw/Organic Apple

Cider Vinegar. Does anyone have any suggestions for an all-natural

remedy for acid reflux? I've been to the website:

www.doctoryourself.com, and I see that the Dr. recommends a product

called " Natrum Phos 6X " . Has anyone heard of this, or better yet,

tried it? Is this a reliable website? Please help! Thanks!

Hi (whoeveryou are)

 

You say that:

 

" I've been to the website: www.doctoryourself.com, and I see that the

Dr. recommends a product called " Natrum Phos 6X " . "

 

Can you give us a link or tell us on what page he recommends this

product?

 

I do not know about you or your letter but we seem to be getting quite

a few questions to this group which do not seem to be valid inquiries.

Hi again. Yes, I am sorry. I'm brand new to this group, and that

was my first question. Please forgive me, I am eager to learn all

that I can about alternative medicine.

 

My name is Jen, and I am from Louisiana. I was looking around some

of the previous posts, and I saw that someone recommended the

website, www.doctoryourself.com. So, I visited, and I saw a section

on Acid Reflux. That product was recommended, and I was just

curious if I could get some feedback. I realize that the internet

is basically a huge marketplace, and I want to learn about this

product before I go off and purchase it. I did not mean any harm.

 

The page is: http://www.doctoryourself.com/reflux.html

Look at number 7 in the list.

 

Thanks.

Well, hello Jen,

 

This group is about learning but not about products. The web is full

of products. It was full of products when I started this group. This

group was to get away from talking about products and to talk about

what is wrong with our health and to learn how to regain our health.

When we understand the processes involved we then pretty much know

what to try ,etc.

 

Trying different products without knowing what is involved is usually

not the way to go about regaining health. We don't discuss commercial

sites much or commercial products much either. Otherwise the group

messages degenerate to sharing overblown sales pitchs either from

people who have a commercial interest or passed on by others who

gullibly got their health education off from commercial websites.

 

This group is oriented towards education rather that which " pill " do

we take for what symptom.

Have you looked into cultured vegetables? See quote & URL below.

 

Alobar

 

" Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price foundation calls cultured food

" super foods " because they are partially digested, so the nutrients

are readily available with little work for your body and they actually

add to the enzyme stores of your body. Sour Kraut is possibly the

only remaining cultured vegetable in America, though there does seem

to be a trend of healthy people bring this almost lost art back into

their diets.

 

" People by the scores have been going to naturopaths or nutritional

counselors over the past few years and coming away taking digestive

enzymes for the rest of their lives. When I have talked to these

health professionals they all seem to have taken the same classes and

have been taught that once your enzyme stores are depleted there is

not way of restoring those supplies. In practice they have all found

this to be true. They all believe that their patients will be on the

enzyme capsules the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, they have

missed something that Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price people

along with people like Donna Gates of Body Ecology have come to

realize: that cultured foods will actually add back enzyme stores

into the enzyme banks of the body. Kefir, cultured cream, buttermilk,

cultured vegetables, etc all add predigested food full of vitamins and

minerals, normal flora, and enzymes to the body. I believe these are

valuable foods, part of all good traditional diets, that have become

lost in the society of today. And I believe bringing them back is

essential for optimal health.

 

" Cultured Vegetables are the perfect compliment to meats. They

contain the enzymes and bacteria necessary for complete protein

digestion. Most people, when having a live blood analysis have

undigested protein found in their blood. Most naturopaths then tell

them that they need digestive enzymes. Interestingly, if a person

adds cultured vegetable to their meats at a meal this will also take

care of the undigested protein. "
