Acid indigestion/heartburn was a nightmare for me for a good 10 years. I tried every pill know to man, I had camera’s stuff down my throat and even more, even stronger pills rammed down me neck and I still had heartburn 24/7. Towards the end I had heartburn 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. I popped multiple pills all the time. It ruled my life; any minor wrong food eaten or wrong posture resulted in 7-10 days of even worse digestive trouble. For a long time it was enemy number one for me (along with my bad back) and I would have paid huge sums of money to be rid of it. I was desperate and no amount of money helped.
My doctors said I would be taking the pills forever and that I should learn to live with the pain and discomfort. It was tough $hit basically and I was sent on my way….bloody doctors….if only I had not seen them, if only I had discovered alternative health earlier in my life…..would have saved me a lot of pain & suffering.
Eventually a NP very calmly suggested it was my diet. He did a few tests that showed me I was intolerant to certain foods. Of course I did not believe him, but I was desperate, past caring and I was willing to try anything to stop in chronic digestive nightmare.
So I stopped eating all wheat, all dairy, all processed foods incl all processed sugar. I had already given up booze a year before. It is very difficult to suddenly stop eating your normal food, but I wanted to try this weird idea from this NP. You must stop ALL of what you exclude…even minor amounts in food will bugger you up.
Remember now, for 10 years I was struggling with digestive problems. I had tried all the pills and potions and nothing made any difference…..nothing. I had heartburn 24/7 and nothing I did helped.
I did this strict diet for 2 weeks and stopped all the pills and in 2 weeks 90pct of all my digestive problems went away. I was 90pct cured in 2 weeks with a cleaned up diet.
I was 2 things at this point…..
1) I was ecstatically happy….we are talking big-time-over-the-moon-running-around-with-my-pants-on-my-head-happy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" />
2) unbelievably pissed off with my funking useless doctors…all that crap they had me doing…..the solution was so simple…..boy o boy was I pissed off at those %$^%£$&^$. This started my disrespect/disregard & contempt for all regular doctors. How could they have got it SO wrong? The solution was so so so easy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
I did some reading and learning about all those pills I was popping. Turns out they are made to reduce acid production in your stomach. This is on the assumption that acid indigestion/heartburn is TOO MUCH ACID in the digestive tract. Its logical, obviously, that if you have acid causing pain that this acid need to be neutralised and reduced…that will obviously cure the problem???? errrrrrrrrrm NO…..well turns out this is completely wrong. Completely arse about tit. The truth is that the stomach is naturally an acid environment and it needs MORE acid to function correctly. It needs more acid to digest the food I eat, so the pills actuallt make things worse and mask some of the symptoms....and they do lots of other nasty things too, but i will not bore you with that stuff.
As long as my diet is clean, fresh and I don’t eat anything man made…my digestion is “ok”. Not perfect….but the constant heartburn is completely gone and I consider my digestion significantly better than before. I get heartburn maybe 2 times per month and its easily control now anyway.
Now, when I get digestive problems I drink a finger of Apple cider vinegar with a glass of water. This gives me more acid so my digestion can work better………..end result no more heartburn.
The apple cidar vinegar needs to be organic and needs to have “mother” in it. “mother” is bacteria. Basically needs to be a bit cloudy….if the stuff is clear its been pasteurised and is dead and useless and will not do the job.
Good luck
P.s. This was early 2007, before I even knew about mercury, before any detoxing, before any amalgam removal….was my first success.
