Everyone should read this if you have heartburn of any kind

I have read numerous posts about GERD, heartburn and acid reflux. In my opinion its all of the same. I have replied to a few posts but im going to post it again in here later on.

Prilosec, Nexium and every other Heartburn medication only releaves the symptons temp. They do not and will not CURE anything. these drugs were created to make money and keep you on them for your lifetime.
Dostors tell you that the reason you have heartburn is because there is too much acid in your stomach and it rises and rises causing acid relfux... SOOO not true. the real reason you have heartburn is the opposite. you have very little acid to digest the foods that are laying in your stomach, as the foods sit there it becomes rancid and very hard to digest. when you take meds it actually nutralizes all of the acid in your stomach forcing you to produce a ton more so it can digest the foods. also, your intestines need to be cleaned. clogged intestines slow the digestive process down significantly forcing foods to sit in your stomach and having no where to go but UP! ( acid reflux )

If anyone has mild to severe heartburn, I suggest you to buy a bottle of Braggs apple cidar vinegar. shake well and drink 2 to 3 capfulls and the heartburn will dissappear. ACV will create the acid needed to digest foods.

a long term cure is this:

first I had gotten a colonics done... your intestines need to be cleaned out if you want to digest your foods correctly. If you feel uncomfortable with colonics I suggest talking an oral colon clenser. it works well but not as good.

You can actually start in the morning before colonics is get a gallon of distilled water, a bottle of cold pressed organic aloe vera juice, Braggs ( has to be Braggs ) natural apple cider vinegar, organic lemons and get 12/12 probiotics

empty about a half a cup or so of the water. add 1/4 cup of the aloe juice. 1/4 cup of the vinegar and squeeze the lemon and add to the water. Mix well and drink the entire gallon thruout the day. take the probiotics 30 minutes before any meal. this aids in the digestion of the food.
This will correct the problem and try to stay away from any sodas, sugars and caffine while you do this. take this as long as you have heartburn and it WILL dissappear in no time!

also, try to eat lightly steamed veggies ( greens ) and fruits as they have enzymes that will aid in digestion as well. DO NOT eat fruits and veggies together because they have different enzymes that will neutralize each other out and will NOT digest properly. eat them about an hour apart.



<removed: read the rules!>

everyone needs to know that this is a natural process, this takes time but in the long run it works... its not a quick fix!

Re: Everyone should read this if you have heartburn of any kind

I read this and I'm curious to know what other posters think of this? Is it too good to be true, or does it make sense? Thanks.

Re: Everyone should read this if you have heartburn of any kind

apple cider does nothing for me other than burn my throat. It's NOT a cure for everyone. Some people do have relief with it so it never hurts to try, but it won't work for all cases.

Re: Everyone should read this if you have heartburn of any kind

thanks...I too believe the drugs are just a temporary mask but while I sit here day after day with the pain, and ill feeling i can appreciate why people get desperate. I have taken with great mediation medications for pain while recovering during a spinal cord/two disc neck and back injury since I was 42. Although I am proactive with exercise and I thought limiting my meds I now suffer from the results of having taken anything. So i will try this for sure although I must admit the apple cider vinegar does bug my bowels. However I was wondering your sentiments on the caplets of a. c. but having smelled the bottle they seem as strong as the a.c. itself. Thanks for informing us. I almost went back to the dr but I know it is just to try another drug and i cannot put myself through that again knowing especially it is going to come back and hit me in the gut...AGAIN.

Thanks ...nearly new nero

Re: Everyone should read this if you have heartburn of any kind

As you age, acid production is suppose to decrease. Thus some peoples problems could be caused by too little acid and taking the acid suppressing medication is not helpful, or even harmful. Johnny313 discovered this was his problem. Thus, you hear recommended suggestions like apple cider vinegar, and probiotics and digestive enzymes.

But some peoples problems are too much acid, and the various acid suppressing medications are helpful. Taking probiotics and digetive enymes can still be good for this too.

Anything that protects the stomach lining and promotes healing, like aloe vera juice and cabbage juice, is good for either conditions.
