You can spell relief for acid reflux any way you want, but chances are the root cause of it is still lurking in the deep somewhere.

This whole idea of self treating your acid reflux symptoms is just what keeps the doctor in business.

Recall the old saying, ‘Eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away”?

Whatever happened to good old fashion common sense? I’ll tell you what . . . it simply fell out of fashion.

Too bad that millions of people who suffer from diseases like gastro-esophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernia and throat cancer didn’t know better than to treat their acid reflux symptoms.

Treating your acid reflux symptoms relieves the pain and discomfort of acid reflux and isn’t that all you want?

Put that way, most people obviously say “YES”.

What they don’t see is they were just sold temporary relief for their acid reflux, heart burn and acid indigestion, but they traded their long term quality of life for it too.

The price of relieving your acid reflux symptoms is cheap . . . but the cost of making that a way of life costs way too high.

They say a person without a philosophy is a fool, but I’m telling you some philosophies are just plain foolish. The philosophy of relieving the symptoms of any problem always leaves the cause of it to continue to do harm.

Acid reflux has been brushed off as something everyone has, as if it wasn’t a health problem at all. This may surprise you but not everyone gets heart burn and acid reflux.

Millions of people who have experienced acid reflux have found permanent relief of the cause of it and rarely if ever experience it again.

Recurring symptoms of anything, especially acid reflux, is a serious health problem and you must get to the root of it . . . that’s the ONLY relief.

So don’t worry about how to spell relief, just learn how to read your body’s own language of symptoms and signs . . . learn to listen to your body/mind relationship closer . . . all you need to do is read the signs so you can help remove the cause of acid reflux.

The natural healing process is constantly working for you; don?t close your eyes to the signs by just treating your acid reflux symptoms over and over.

All that will do is create recurring acid reflux symptoms, not lasting relief.

Everyone needs a little help with acid reflux every now and then. Acid reflux should never be allowed to become a disease.

You can help protect your body by following a few natural guidelines.

It’s hard for some people to help themselves eliminate acid reflux, like over the road truckers, people that work in restaurants and actually it’s hard for anyone on the go these days . . . especially for you third shifters.

I’ve always found it hard to find “real” food when I worked on the road . . . I learned the hard way and had a mini-stroke when I was only 35 years old. Acid reflux is an inflammatory issue, like strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and even cancer . . . it’s all connected at one level or another.

If you’re having trouble finding real help for your acid reflux, trust me, you’re far from alone.

People are sick and tired of treating symptoms of inflammatory diseases like acid reflux and the rest of it. You can learn the easy way or the hard way like I did, it’s up to you. I would like to help you find an easy way . . . and avoid the hard way.

When I say “Treating” your acid reflux symptoms, it’s the same as saying “ignoring” the cause of your acid reflux.

There are stages of degenerative disease and inflammation is only one of those steps associated with all of them, especially acid reflux. The best way to help yourself get rid of acid reflux forever is to help get rid of your inflammation . . . now you are closer to finding the real cause of your acid reflux.

What causes inflammation? If you can eliminate that, you have done more than help your acid reflux, you’ll have cured yourself of it.

Inflammation starts whenever your body becomes stressed and there are a few things that can do that, but the number one reason is toxicity.

You can’t help your acid reflux if your body is full of toxins, whether it is toxins from pollutants found in the air, water and food, or toxic build-up from body wastes.

To help detoxify your body and reduce stress and inflammation that trigger acid reflux and other disease states, you’ll want to increase real energy levels in your body.

You can help do this by first avoiding foods that lower cellular energy.

You now have the master keys to help eliminate acid reflux and other inflammatory health problems.

All great science comes from observing nature . . .

Your natural acid reflux cure is the one solution that eliminates all the complications associated with acid reflux disease.

The only excuse for ‘treating your acid reflux symptoms’ is if you really don’t know what the cause is. When I see acid reflux sufferers taking antacid drugs over and over again to cover up their embarrassing and painful symptoms, I know they’ve been fooled to believe there’s no natural cure.

Not only are these antacid drug products potentially harmful in themselves, ignoring whatever started your acid reflux imbalance is a dangerous game indeed.

Nothing is quite as important as taking care of your digestive health. Your immune system, central nervous system and brain and heart all depend on a smooth running digestive system.

Healing your acid reflux with a natural cure is the right way to fix the problem.

It is natural for you to NOT have acid reflux. That should tell you, even though your doctor doesn’t know the cure, your mind/body already does.

I’ve learned the hard way to not take my health for granted, that’s why I’m a health advocate. By simply having a spirit of thankfulness you will discover the natural cures that will heal your acid reflux.

Discovering how to work with your natural healing process starts by appreciating the miracle of being well in the first place.

You have the symptoms of acid reflux because you took this natural healing function for granted . . . you rode it hard and put it away wet and so by using a natural cure for your acid reflux, you will discover something powerful about yourself.

Great scientists have always learned from observing nature . . . it’s completely natural to cure yourself. You don’t need a doctor to help you get acid reflux and you certainly don’t need one to find a natural cure either.

The natural power to cure your acid reflux is all yours . . .

Health is balance and balance fuels vitality. Simply taking antacids to be symptom free doesn?t make you healthy . . . healthy is beyond being symptoms free . . . being cured of acid reflux is simply the return to your natural pathway.

The science of healing is the expression of natural law . . . it’s a proven way of restoring balance and vitality without interfering with man-made drugs.

Is your newborn always coughing and just seems miserable?

It may not just be a case of colic . . . it could be your baby has infant acid reflux.

When I found out that about 50% of newborns and up to 85% of all premature babies suffer from infant acid reflux I was shocked.

Most outgrow the acid reflux symptoms after the first few months, but then there are those who never seem to overcome it. In fact many that receive the best medical treatments continue to suffer from infant acid reflux and its dangerous complications.

Having a child with infant acid reflux can be about the most challenging things you can face as a parent. The constant misery of infant acid reflux symptoms can exhaust both parent and child.

Here are 8 signs of infant acid reflux:

1. Constant crying

2. Irritability and pain

3. Disturbed sleep patterns

4. Arching of the neck and back

5. Vomiting

6. Chronic hiccups

7. Ear infections

8. Sinus problems

Even one of these symptoms could indicate your child may have infant acid reflux.

If the root cause of infant acid reflux isn’t addressed it could lead to these complications:

• Anemia
• Constant drooling
• Sinus infections
• Swallowing problems
• Chronic hoarseness
• Sore throat
• Chronic ear infection
• Sleep apnea
• Lung problems
• Esophagitis
• Failure to thrive
• Eroded teeth
• Sandifer’s syndrome
• Halitosis

The obvious cause of infant acid reflux is generally straight forward. Normally, the ring of muscle between the esophagus and the stomach (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes and opens only when you swallow.

Otherwise, it’s sealed tightly – keeping stomach acid where it belongs. Until your baby matures, infant acid reflux may cause food to flow up the throat, into the lungs, ears and sinus cavities and out your baby’s mouth.

Sometimes air bubbles in the esophagus may push liquid out of your baby’s mouth. In other cases, your baby may simply drink too much, too fast.

The artificial milk or baby formula you’re using could be the real problem.

Breastfed babies have been shown to have fewer and less severe infant reflux problems than artificially fed infants. Mother’s milk is more easily digested than artificial milk and is absorbed and digested from the stomach twice as fast.

Proper digestion and speed are vital to minimize irritating infant acid reflux. Mother’s milk is by far less irritating and much healthier for your baby than artificial milk products.

The bond between mother and baby is an important factor to preventing and curing infant acid reflux. Unhappy infants get overwhelmed and stress out which can trigger infant acid reflux.

Nursing is nature’s perfect way to protect your infant, plus hormones made when you breastfeed help relax you both . . . another reason to nurture your infant with breast milk.

Here are some tricks to help your infant to nurse:

1. Create a soothing peaceful environment-soft pleasant music helps.
2. Try nursing when your infant wakes from the acid reflux or when sleepy.
3. Give your infant lots of skin-to-skin contact and cuddling.
4. Try to keep your infant upright while your hands are free. Try a baby sling.

Research all the emotional and nutritional benefits of breast feeding . . .
