Natural Acid Reflux Disease Remedy

A remedy for your acid reflux is simply the most natural solution. As you already know all too well, conventional medicine has no cure for your acid reflux.

Millions of people are being sucked into the vicious circle of taking Over-The-Counter drugs for their acid reflux symptoms, only to discover later that their acid reflux has only gotten worse.

Still trusting the convenience of these Over-The-Counter gimmicks, millions more people end up being persuaded to even try stronger ‘Behind-The-Counter’ drugs.

Unfortunately it’s a scientific fact that these stronger chemical gimmicks simply lead them down the medical rabbit hole even deeper. It’s common knowledge to most doctors that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are responsible for acid rebound.

Of course these powerful antacids have a purpose, but only in emergency situations. Using PPIs is a tell tale sign that you should have sought out a natural remedy for your acid reflux, rather than having tried to cover the symptoms in the first place.

More than 15,000,000 TUMS were recently recalled because people found they were contaminated with metal filings and saw dust.

I’m curious how many people are suffering from “mysterious” digestive system issues because they’ve unknowingly been swallowing metal shavings and who knows what else.

How can you undo that?

Antacids simply cover symptoms; they do not even claim to be a natural remedy . . . so why do millions of people fall for it?

The same reason people smoke cigarettes, eat fast food and drink pop, advertising. Billions of dollars in profits are turned back into the great deception of the American public. It’s a free-for-all marketing circus out there and YOUR HEALTH is paying the highest cost.

Seeking natural remedies isn’t practicing medicine; it’s using real science to get to the bottom of any problem.

Your acid reflux is a health problem triggered by something “unnatural”. Running to the pharmacist for more unnatural factors to complicate your health, clearly isn’t the right answer.

A natural remedy is the natural solution for your acid reflux, or anything else you may be suffering from.

Once you go all the way down the medical rabbit hole, the only way out seems to be to go deeper, but remember, that’s how your acid reflux got worse in the first place.

Don’t be fooled by the intimidating mask of medicine. Behind it is one goal: making money. Natural remedies don’t build global empires because there is no return customer . . . they move on to live long healthy lives.

Take care of the cause of your acid reflux and the real remedy will come to you naturally.

Symptoms Acid Reflux Disease

Treating acid reflux symptoms can be dangerous if they keep you from taking care of the cause of it.

Medical researchers are just beginning to understand the root cause of acid reflux symptoms, whereas science has known the cause for literally thousands of years.

It goes unsaid that if medicine can’t cure your acid reflux it’s time to take a closer look at the science of healing digestive balance.

The Western approach tries to treat the symptoms of digestive imbalance because it is truly ignorant of what causes acid reflux and its complications.

There are plenty of misconceptions about digestive disorders like acid reflux . . . the biggest one is assuming your acid reflux is some kind of drug deficiency. Why else would millions of people pop useless antacids, such as Tums, while simple cases of heart burn inflame into acid rebound cases and then gastro-esophageal reflux diseases (GERD)?

Did you know the makers of TUMS just recalled 15,000,000 packages of the antacid because they are full of pieces of metal scrap and wood chips? Apparently someone is sweeping the shop floor and dumping the garbage into the antacid mix. Who knows what other mystery ingredients have been swept up in the process?

From a medical standpoint your acid reflux happens because the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscle between the stomach and throat, relaxes and allows stomach acid to invade your throat, lung and mouth area, but they never tell you what causes this.

Because the medical industry depends on selling acid reflux sufferers their drugs to treat symptoms, they really don’t need to tell you what really causes acid reflux.

Explaining the mechanics of acid reflux is limiting medical treatment to the effects and never addressing the root cause.

For thousands of years, as long as civilization has been recorded, science has offered acid reflux sufferers the remedy for the underlying cause.

Simply remove the cause and the effects or symptoms vanish as if they never were.

Acid reflux symptoms turn into what the medical industry calls a disease, only because the real cause of the symptoms has been ignored and allowed to fester and complicate.

In fact, acid rebound is a man-made or should I say . . . a drug-made disease.

It’s well known that antacids like TUMS are gateway products for stronger medications that can lead you right down the path of degenerative diseases like hiatal-hernia, gastro-esophageal disease (GERD) and even throat cancer.

So remember . . . when you want to cure acid reflux follow the real science. If all you want is to treat the symptoms, then follow the money . . . it will lead you right to your pharmacist and maybe even the surgeon.

All great science is learned by observing nature . . .

Treatments for Heartburn

Heartburn is a common complaint in today’s fast-paced, fast food world.? The feeling of burning in your upper stomach, perhaps in your throat…the tightness in your chest or even trouble swallowing…all can be symptoms of heartburn. When the acid pumps in your stomach are overactive, it starts to erode the esophagus, which is responsible for keeping acid down in the stomach. Esophagitis can occur, where there are tiny fissures (or tears) in the lining of the esophagus, and other more serious ailments can be caused if this condition is left untreated for a long period of time. Treatments for heartburn vary widely, from homeopathic remedies to prescription medication and even surgery, so first of all, see your doctor if your heartburn persists for more than a few weeks.

If your doctor okays, it you can try lifestyle changes first, including switching your diet away from fatty meals and acid-producers, such as alcohol and coffee. Maintaining a healthy weight is another way to combat heartburn naturally, so limiting fatty foods might have two benefits in your lifestyle. Other tricks include eating smaller, more frequent meals, and even elevating your head a couple of inches when you sleep can help keep acid down in your stomach where it belongs. Other specific food culprits that you might want to avoid include chocolate, tomato and tomato-based products, citrus fruits, fried foods, and pepper. Also, try staying hydrated. Eight glasses of water a day is not only good for your whole body, but it can help your body naturally dilute strong stomach acid and give your esophagus a break.

Other treatments for heartburn include over-the-counter medications, including Pepcid and Zantac. These work by decreasing the amount of stomach acid produced and are effective remedies against gastroesophageal reflux disease (or GERD), where acid from the stomach actually makes it past the esophagus into the throat. Other OTC remedies include antacids, which neutralize stomach acid. Brands include Tagamet and TUMS.? However, these medications are not meant as a permanent solution and should not be taken for more than two weeks, unless otherwise advised by your physician.

Prescription treatments for heartburn can include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which stop the release of acid in the stomach; this class is frequently prescribed as well for GERD sufferers. Another class of prescription medication is a promotilty agent, which helps patients who have slowed emptying of their stomach.? These medicineshelp hasten digestion, and are often effective against sufferers of GERD.? Prescription medications can often be pricey, and sometimes taking a pill every day for the rest of your life is not the most appealing option.

In that case, there are a number of natural methods for combating this problem on your own. Homeopathic treatments for heartburn include lifestyle changes, as mentioned above, and supplements like calcium carbonate to quell acid, and deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), which can be found in a natural foods or supplements store. This latter product has inflammatory properties, and lines the stomach, intestines and esophagus, forming a barrier between tissue and acid. Fresh ginger can help some sufferers, which you grind up and add to foods or drinks like herbal tea. Chamomile tea is another good one to try, along with licorice root.
