PVC’s & Acid Reflux

Premature Ventricular Complexes (or PVC’s) & acid reflux may go hand in hand for some people. PVC’s have had a long and mysterious history. At one time they were thought to be the precursor for impending death, and more recently are thought to simply be a benign phenomenon.

PVC’s happen when an electrical disturbance in one of the heart’s ventricles causes it to contract. Sometimes this can be felt as a palpitation, or feeling like your heart skipped a beat. Most often though, it’s not felt at all. This condition is generally a cause for concern if heart disease is present, as it can aggravate certain conditions and cause various complications. However, if no heart disease is found PVC’s are not something most doctors worry about.

Acid reflux can be caused by any number of things including daily habits, smoking, certain foods, tight clothing and stress. It happens when too much acid builds in the stomach and is allowed into the esophagus. This causes irritation and pain. It can also cause belching, hiccups and a general feeling of indigestion.

Some sufferers of acid reflux are finding their PVC’s happen more frequently during an acid reflux attack. This could be a result of pressure building up in the stomach, but it’s difficult to say for sure without more studies being conducted.

Get it under control

If you suffer from both of these conditions, and particularly notice an influx of PVC’s during an episode of acid reflux, try getting your reflux under control. There are a number of things you can do once reflux has started to help alleviate it.

  • Drink a large glass of water. This will help dilute toxins and wash excess stomach acids away.
  • Eat an apple. Some people have found apples are very effective at relieving heartburn pain.
  • Try taking some ginger. Ginger comes in many forms, and can be consumed as a tea, eaten candied or found in spiced form. Ginger has long been used to settle upset stomachs, and heart burn is no match for it.

The Reflux Remedy Report has a huge number of natural ways to relieve pain from heartburn and keep it away. Read it at refluxremedy.com today and be free of your heartburn pain now.

Focus on Prevention

Once you have your reflux under control, prevention is the key to keeping both it and related PVC’s away.

  • Eat smaller meals. However, just because you’re eating smaller meals doesn’t mean you need to eat less. Just eat more often to maintain your food intake. This helps your body digest more easily and prevents that tell tale pressure buildup that may be related to PVC’s.
  • Don’t lie down or go to bed less than 2 hours after a meal. Staying upright after eating helps gravity keep food and acids where they belong, in your stomach. If you still have trouble, try putting an extra pillow under your head, to keep your esophagus aligned above your stomach.
  • Avoid triggers that cause heartburn. Keep a log of what foods irritate your stomach, and then avoid them. Everyone has their own triggers, but some common ones include garlic, onions, alcohol caffeine and citrus fruits.

While there isn’t much in the way of hard facts and studies relating PVC’s & acid reflux, more and more people are coming forward with these two problems. In the future, these two conditions may be definitively related to each other.

Calm Acid Reflux

For the many people who feel the burn, ways to calm acid reflux are often at the fore front of their minds. What can you do to relieve the pain, the burning, the burping and indigestion? Actually, there’s quite a bit you can do, and a lot of it doesn’t require a trip to the doctor’s office.

Why medications might not be the answer

Over the counter antacids can help with the occasional acid reflux, but they are in no way meant to be taken over an extended period. In fact, none of them are meant to be taken for more than two weeks without doctor supervision, even though some of the commercials may make statements like “By day 14 I was acid reflux free!

Prescription medicines can be helpful as they target specific areas. For example, one type of prescription medication will stop the production of stomach acid, while others will block the acid production process altogether. These can be a good solution as they target specifically what is causing your acid reflux, however it’s an expensive solution. You’ll be tied to a prescription that has to be refilled every month for the rest of your life. With the cost of drugs going up all the time, and insurances constantly pulling back how much they’ll cover, it can become a huge financial commitment rather quickly.

So, what are your other options?

What you can do to calm acid reflux

Calming acid reflux can actually be easier than you might think. Here are a few tips you can try at home before or during an acid reflux attack.

  • Drink water, and lots of it. A large glass of water can often be very helpful when it comes to relieving pain from acid reflux. Something this simple may seem like it’s just too easy, but the water helps to dilute acids in your stomach and wash them through your digestive system more quickly, so they can’t cause as much irritation and damage.
    • Additionally, try mixing a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in the water to help prevent an attack of acid reflux. If you’re already experiencing it, just swallow the apple cider vinegar undiluted for faster relief.
  • Teas can also be quite helpful in calming the stomach and soothing acid reflux. Ginger, Fennel and Chamomile teas are all known to settle indigestion and help cool a stomach burning associated with acid reflux.
  • Eat an apple. The saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away didn’t come without any basis of truth. Some people have found an apple before or after a meal helps prevent or get rid of acid reflux.
  • Try papaya. Papaya has a digestive enzyme that assists in breaking down food, which prevents acid buildup. Taking a papaya enzyme tablet immediately before or after a meal can help prevent reflux, while taking one during an attack can help soothe it.

Explore these and many other natural ways to calm acid reflux in The Reflux Remedy Report. There you’ll find countless holistic remedies for heartburn and the reasons they work. Visit refluxremedy.com today to find out more.

Acid Reflux Pain and Inflammation

The fourth stage of throat cancer is acid reflux pain and inflammation. As with any health problem be it acid reflux or cancer, it all starts with the loss of cellular energy and gets worse from there.

To heal your acid reflux pain the first thing you need to do is go directly to the root cause of it all . . . no matter what stage your at.

The loss of cellular energy happens when the natural mineral balance of your body becomes acidic.

So if you think your acid reflux is isolated to a stomach acid problem, you just don’t see the big picture. The environment or terrain of your tissue is where it all starts and ends. Your tissue includes your blood, bones and flesh.

In order for you to live a long and healthy life your body tissue has to keep a delicate balance between alkaline and acid called pH.

This pH scale starts at zero, near where you stomach acid is. In fact any pH reading below 7 is considered acid . . . your stomach acid reads around pH 2.

In order to avoid acid reflux pain and inflammation your pH needs to stay between 7.25 and 7.4, which isn’t acid at all. Truth is all your organs need this slightly alkaline pH.

Only your stomach acid and urine should have an acid pH.

Did you know your urine is really dirty blood? It’s acid because it’s full of acid waste. Too much build-up of acid waste means your dehydrated, lack “ionic” minerals and therefore you are losing cellular energy.

Once you start down this path acid reflux pain and inflammation can’t be far behind.

After loss of cellular energy, metabolism slows, toxins build-up, stress begins to affect normal organ and tissue function, then the pain and inflammation kicks in.

If the root cause of your acid reflux pain isn’t addressed, eventually the flesh lining of your sensitive throat begins to degenerate, actually becoming stiff and leathery, more like the lining of your stomach.

The pain of your acid reflux increases because your throat isn’t made to resist the strong acid pH level of stomach acid . . . the final stage is where the tissue inside your throat begins to mutate and literally becomes the same as your stomach lining.

The pain of acid reflux isn’t limited to just the burning sensation of stomach acid erupting where it doesn’t belong . . .the pain comes from the degeneration, stiffness and mutating cells it ultimately causes.

The final stage of ignoring the cause of your acid reflux pain is throat cancer and then ?. . . your risk of death increases greatly.

The moral of the story is to never ignore the cause of your acid reflux pain and as you know taking antacids is the same as ignoring the real cause- antacids don’t cure the root cause of acid reflux pain . . . in the end they make it much worse.

Treatment of Acid Reflux

According to current U.S. laws that the American Medical Association (AMA) have lobbied to establish in America, it?s illegal for anyone to sell you any natural treatment or cure. Not that in any way it is bad for someone to provide you with a natural treatment or cure for your acid reflux, but because the AMA just doesn?t tolerate any competition.

Natural treatments and cures for acid reflux, heartburn and acid indigestion have been passed down to The American people for thousands of years, it?s part of our inherited culture of family values, which includes grandma?s acid reflux treatment.

Since when has big business become our master? I don?t know about you, but I find this current situation very upsetting. The treatments for acid reflux that are allowed by the AMA are limited to only drug treatments . . . that?s all.

If you suffer from acid reflux you already know these chemical products or drugs, so authoritively sponsored by the AMA, do NOT cure acid reflux. Truth is Proton-pump inhibitor drugs cause a new dis-ease called acid rebound disease. Acid rebound is a side effect of addictive proton-pump inhibitors that mess your body up, making your acid reflux symptoms many times worse, often leading to gastro-esophageal reflux dis-ease (GERD) or worse.

Don?t just take my word for it. Decide right now to investigate everything yourself, do your ?due diligence? and you will see, the truth is sometimes a scary thing but . . . never as bad as living with the lies.

Conventional Western medical treatments for acid reflux symptoms block the symptoms, but that is NOT a cure. The root cause of your acid reflux needs to be treated naturally, or your acid reflux symptoms will get worse.

Before you settle for any medical treatments for acid reflux, first try natural scientific treatments based on thousands of years of evidence and naturally happy, healthy people.

Western medicine is a front for making profits for share holders off sick and suffering people. The whole idea of Western and Eastern medicine is a myth. It?s just the new way corporations compete and brand their products on a global market, at your expense.

Food is medicine and medicine is food, whether you are North, South, East or West.

By forbidding any other ?alternative? treatments form ancient cultures like Ayurvedic, Chinese acupuncture and Amerindian, Western medicine has limited your choices.

Since when can a vender of a product limit your choices? Isn?t that called a monopoly?

Last I checked, tyranny was still illegal in America.

Medical treatments for acid reflux that don?t involve lifestyle and dietary changes are useless. In fact, just making lifestyle modifications yourself could be the best treatment for acid reflux of all.

Great men learn by observing nature and no one should be able to stop you from doing that. Observe nature and you?ll find the best natural treatment for your acid reflux, in fact the right natural treatment, combined with diet and lifestyle changes will cure you of your acid reflux symptoms, simply because you eliminated the root cause of acid reflux. Western medical treatment is primarily concerned with chemically treating your symptoms, not removing the cause of your acid reflux.

I hope you can see the difference between natural and unnatural treatment for acid reflux better now.

You were born to heal,
