GERD symptoms such as constant heart burn are known to go into spontaneous remission, which means there is a mechanism at work that can actually reverse the condition of Hiatal Hernia.

Hiatal Hernia results form major congestion in the bile ducts of the liver, waste build-up in the small and large intestines (seen in bloated and enlarged abdomen) as well as lymphatic blackage, especially in the thoracic duct (see ilustration in The Amazing Liver CLeanse, www.1stbooks.com, 1-888-280-7715). Since waste products are no longer eliminated efficiently via the proper elimination organs and systems, they back up and end up moving into the stomach from below, putting extensive pressure on this organ. Hiatal Hernia is a simple survival tactic to avoid death, it is not a disease as such.

By removing congestion in the liver, intestines, and lymphatic system by doing the cleanses as laid out in the above book and by adjusting your diet/lifestyle according to your body type's needs and abilities (see The Key to Health and Rejuvenation (also from 1stbooks.com), you can certainly reverse this condition naturally. Surgery is tricky, because it cannot cure the real problem, so another problem is likely to pop up that may make matters even worse than having Haital Hernia. Plus surgery includes injury to important parts of your body. This prevents full recovery.

I have the same problem and have recently discovered that this problem can be healed by a chiropracter (among many other disorders). I am very annoyed that my doctor never told me this. The operation is very painful and often not successful.
I intend having my problem fixed by the chiropractor. I have never been to one before, but it is worth a try because it will be cheaper and less painful.

I also have a H hernia & went to the chiro clinic at the university I attend. The Chiro that worked on me (an Associate Professor)was very pleased to have a H Hernia case to show his students. Did the usual spinal manipulation then a lot of massage on the diaphragm & the muscles that connect it to the spine - I must say the diaphragm was v tender hence would go into spasm easily. He then did some massage under my ribs & sternum & kind of 'pulled' the stomach down. My symptoms improved after the treatment & I had a 2 more treatments after that at about 7-10 day intervals. I also now do some stretching & breathing exercises for the diaphragm & have improved a lot. Chiro said may need to have a treatment about every 6-12 months. I was initally a bit of a sceptic too - that's why I went to the University clinic & am pleased to say that I got quite a bit of benefit from the treatment. Hope this helps - it makes sense to me that keeping the diaphragm & associated muscles supple reduces H Hernia pain.
