Acid reflux is a condition that plagues thousands of people every day. This condition is a result of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) neglecting to close as soon as food passes through it or the LES opens too often. The LES can be best described as a ring of muscle that is at the entrance of the stomach. When there is a malfunction and the LES opens without merit it allows for the acids and enzymes of the stomach to escape the stomach and travel upward to the esophagus where it can cause a burning sensation. If this isn’t a rare occurrence but instead happens about two times a week you are likely suffering from acid reflux disease also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

A few common symptoms that may be associated with acid reflux disease include:

• Heartburn: This is the most common symptom of acid reflux. Heartburn is generally experienced in the chest but there have been cases where sufferers have reported burning in the abdomen and throat cavities. Heartburn is usually experienced as a pain that starts lightly and developments into a more pronounced sting. There are instances, however when the heartburn stabs often giving the affect that one is suffering from a heart attack.
• Trouble swallowing (dyshpagia): Dysphagia occurs when there is a narrowing of the esophagus. When this happens there can be great difficulty swallowing food and drinks. The difficulty associated with eating and drinking often causes sufferers to neglect eating and drinking which can cause an onset of several other illnesses.
• Regurgitation is another symptom of acid reflux: A sufferer is warned that regurgitation may commence when there is a sour or bitter taste in the mouth as a result of acid reflux. This bitter taste is often followed by the regurgitating of foods and liquids that were recently consumed.

These acid reflux symptoms drive most sufferers to seek out immediate reflux relief. There is no one medication or relief method that works for everybody. Sufferers are encouraged to find the medication that works best for them. Some forms of medication that can assist in treating acid reflux may be found below.

• Start by drinking more water. Water works wonders not only for acid reflux but also for overall health. Be sure to consume lots of water daily, especially before, during and after eating. Increasing water intake helps to dilute stomach acids which in-turn eliminates the risk of reflux.
• Look into taking reflux antacids. There are several different over the counter acid reflux antacids on the market. Try Maalox, Alka-Seltzer and Imodium to just name a few. Before considering trying the over the counter drugs you may want to exact all natural remedies beforehand.
• Try baking soda. Baking soda is a natural antacid that has been known to be just as effective as unnatural over the counter drugs. Drop a spoonful of baking soda into a glass of water and drink it down while it fizzles. Works wonders.
• Drink aloe vera juice. Aloe vea juice, much like water has several health benefits when consumed in healthy portions. Try this out as a means to stabilize your stomach acids while soothing your esophagus.

There is a misnomer going around that if you treat your acid reflux symptoms with medication or have surgery to attempt to permanently fix your acid indigestion issues, that this is the same as healing. . . it’s not.

Medication and surgery is not healing anything.

There isn’t any medication that can substitute for your natural healing process; there is no pill or surgery that can heal your acid reflux.

True healing takes place from nurturing optimum cellular health enough to allow the source of life to sustain your health and restore natural harmony.

Direct-to-Consumer drug advertising has countless people sold on the false idea that if you’re free of acid reflux symptoms you’ve been healed . . . again, this is simply not true.

Before your acid reflux can be healed, the blocks preventing your acid reflux from naturally healing need to be removed.

Medication for your acid reflux doesn’t remove the blocks to healing; it only blocks the effects of what is really causing your acid reflux.

The more you learn the clearer it all becomes.

Read on . . .

The big business of treating your acid reflux with medication earns an obscene amount of money getting you to take drugs to treat acid indigestion and Gastro-Esophageal Acid Reflux Disease (GERD) symptoms . . . over and over again and again.

It is your choice whether you want to allow your own built-in healing intelligence to naturally cure your acid reflux, or chose to forsake all natural means of getting better for medication.

The problem here is people aren’t free of biased influence to make a fair choice . . . a choice that seems obvious to you and me.

When all the available information regarding acid reflux is about medication and nothing is said about folk remedies and ancient healing wisdom . . . it’s easy to see why acid reflux is pandemic today.

Most people don’t do their own due diligence like you are. They just settle for whatever the television, paper or radio happens to blurt out at them.

In a world where people are sick and dying the big business of selling medicine is growing by more than 50% every year . . . all while our so-called American economy collapses.

Your acid reflux medication is supporting America’s bottom line, in the worst way. As the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grows you and millions of other acid reflux customers just keep buying more medication and keep staying sick.

There’s no profit for them to tell you how to solve your acid reflux problems. In fact powerful multinational corporations spend more money advertising biased information than they do developing medication.

These corporations have tricked the public into believing they are people like you and I . . . legally they may be represented that way for now, but you know as well as I, corporations have no soul.

As you may already know money is created by corporations who make problems and then sell us a temporary solution. Your acid reflux problem is a reaction to a harmful Western dietary pattern called the Standard American Diet (SAD). This is a subsidized program where Big Food corporations feed you processed food stuff packed with additives and chemicals that do harm to your digestive system and more.

Big Food, Big Agri and Big Chem are an arm of Big Medicine . . .

So don’t be mistaken, treating your acid reflux with medication isn’t the same as being healed of acid reflux disease. Address the root cause and the acid reflux symptoms will stop, treat the symptoms with medication and ‘the cause’ remains your problem.

You were born to heal,
