Homeopathic Remedies For Acid Reflux

Many critics of homeopathy or homeopathic science argue that natural cures and remedies keep people from trying conventional medicine. However nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact conventional medicine uses homeopathic science every time they sell one of their vaccines. True, the vaccine theory is a homeopathic principle. So should there be a acid reflux vaccine?

The answer is no, because vaccines don’t work, there is no hard core evidence vaccines help at all, in fact there’s more studies which claim vaccines do harm.

Well, even if that’s true, which is looks like it may be, homeopathic “science” is still sound.

The problem with acid reflux is that it’s “a symptom” not a dis-ease. Certainly having a chronic symptom of anything could be labeled as dis-ease . . . but it’s still really only a symptom.

That’s the same reason vaccines fail to help, they are treating symptoms. Plus most vaccines carry other risks that are not true to the homeopathic approach; they involve toxic ingredients like mercury, aluminum and even MSG.

Homeopathy is an intelligent, alternative “perspective” which considers the external environmental connection along with the person’s internal environment as a whole.

For example if a child’s immune system was never allowed to develop naturally because the child has been raised in a sterile environment, or perhaps was subjected to a barrage of vaccines as an infant. . .the child may have many allergies later in life.

A homeopathic approach would be to discover exactly what the child is allergic to and give the allergen to the child on purpose, but in a super diluted amount.

If acid reflux was a symptom of a dust allergy, a homeopathic solution with a specific dust molecule would be introduced to trigger an immune response to the diluted dust molecule solution.

As a result the immune system would create an antigen from that dust molecule. Once that happens, the allergic reaction will be counteracted by a proper immune response, protecting the person from the dust reaction.

(Antigens are like all-point-bulletins (APBs) that your immune system puts out against known invaders. This empowers the immune system to prevent an all-out or systemic reaction, to the cause or trigger of the problem, whether it happens to be acid reflux or asthma.)

Often people can become sensitive to food ingredients like wheat or corn gluten, unfermented soy products or toxic canola oil for instance. These foods allergens can cause acid indigestion that could lead to chronic acid reflux symptoms.

The first choice of action would be to avoid these types of food ingredients all together. However, if that’s not going to happen . . . ?a homeopathic approach or “acid reflux vaccine,” could be successful.

Homeopathic science works as good as and sometimes better than conventional medicine does and without the adverse side effects of drugs or vaccine contaminants either.

Both pharmaceuticals, as well as homeopathic remedies count on the placebo effect to work for them.

Bottom line is determinism; positive expectation and right action are the most effective factors to curing any dis-ease. Keep in mind that too often people are treating the symptoms and not the cause of their health issues.

Whether it’s acid reflux of gastro-esophageal reflux disease or even cancer . . . when you address the real root cause using natural solutions you’re going to avoid expensive drugs, treatments and procedures . . . more often than not trying anything at all.

Homeopathic remedies are essentially making common sense a lot more common, when you think about it.

As the father of Western medicine, Hippocrates, once proclaimed, “First Do No Harm!”

Diet And Acid Reflux

[[Dear Friend,]]

Acid reflux is usually triggered from overeating. Frankly overeating is really bad for you anyway you look at it. Not only can your diet habits be responsible for triggering an acid reflux, according to scientific studies it will shorten your lifespan.

Correct diet, activity levels and natural attitude are a few of the common denominators to extraordinary health, other than quality of air and water, nothing determines your health more.

So in a way I guess you could say acid reflux is one of those symptoms that are warning you could be in danger of a premature death. It would be ridiculous to believe acid reflux is a cause of death, when actually acid reflux is a symptom you?re accelerating your aging process . . . acid reflux is only the symptom, that cause is your diet..

Take an example from the Okinawans; they really know how to live.

It just so happens that, Okinawa, Japan has the highest percentage of indigenous 100 year olds in the whole world. They also have 80% fewer heart attacks than people in the United States, 50% less incidence of colon cancer and less than 25% of the cases of ovarian, prostate and breast cancer.

Many Okinawans live to be super-centenarians, that is, they live 110 years of longer. Imagine being an octogenarian grandparent, which means having eight generations of grand kids.

If you enjoy your food like I do, you?ll love this once you give it a try: eat less more.

The key to curing your acid reflux issues is to eat less, don?t eat till your full and eat 4 to 7 times a day, oh yeah and drink naturally alkalized water in between meals.
A study of Okinawan longevity revealed that they eat 7 servings of vegetables and grains a day. Plus they eat 2 servings of ?fermented? soy, like tempeh or tofu, eat very little dairy and plenty of wild caught fish every week.

NOTE: Unfermented (green) soy can cause acid reflux symptoms because the soy allergens and other phytotoxins. Fermentation eliminates the phytotoxins that can trigger acid indigestion, heartburn or acid reflux.

If you can?t eat and live like a super centenarian islander, then at least try to spread your meals out further, eating less, but eating more often through the day.

Here are a few more tips: Try not to eat at least 3 hours before bedtime, eat your protein before your carbohydrates and focus on eating 80% raw fruits and vegetables . . . lightly steamed or grilled is acceptable.

You acid reflux is directly triggered from your diet and obviously is a symptom, or sign, you need to make some lifestyle modifications and starting with your diet is a sure bet.

Alkaline Foods and Acidic Foods

If? you are one of the millions of American’s who suffer from acid reflux? disease, it is not news to you that a diet high in acidic foods will only irritate your condition and cause your symptoms to be more severe. There are many natural ways to help alleviate the symptoms that accompany this condition, and changing your diet is one of them. Knowing the difference between alkaline and acidic foods is a great way to help incorporate nutritional foods into your diet and a great resource for self managing your acid reflux.

An alkaline food is technically any food which is not acidic and whose pH level is greater than seven. Basically it?s any food low in acid. Not only do these foods help to neutralize some of the natural acids in your system, but they also have some other great health benefits for you to consider. Alkaline foods include almonds, grapes, cantaloupe and mangos among others.? Maintaining a diet that is roughly eighty percent alkaline based foods and only twenty percent acidic will help your body to better process the raw nutrients that are found in the foods you eat.

Maintaining a balanced diet can also increase function in your muscles and joints as well as improving oxygen levels. You may also see improvement in the regulation of blood sugar and this diet change can also help those suffering from high blood pressure. There are plenty of foods in this category that you can eat freely without worries of excess acids. These foods include most types of meats, most vegetables and leafy greens. Also, most foods that are high in fats such as seeds and oils are low in acid, and when part of a balanced diet can help manage acid reflux..

Acidic foods, although more condition-irritating than alkaline based foods, are still necessary for our body’s proper function. Essential fatty acids and other beneficial types of acids can be found in some foods and are helpful to the body. Overall however a diet that is high in acidic foods (these are any foods with a pH level lower than seven) can wreak major havoc on the body and can consistently irritate acid reflux.

Some of the more dangerous foods include citrus fruits, anything with caffeine and alcohol.. Most dairy products are also considered acidic and should be consumed sparingly. Also, with pH levels higher than twelve, condiments such as mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup are also considered mostly basic despite their slightly acidic taste. They are safe to use sparingly. You can never have enough resources when it comes to managing your problems with acid indigestion and heartburn. Knowing the difference between alkaline foods and acidic foods is just one of these methods. If you would like to learn more techniques for managing this condition naturally and safely you may want to consider reading Bob Barton’s Reflux Remedy Report. It is full of valuable information for managing your indigestion symptoms in safe and natural ways.
