Well, you are wise to think it through carefully and look for the deeper answers. You are very young to be so afflicted. My mother experiences GERD and takes prescriiption drugs for it. I am a bit nervous that I could have inherited that tendency, whatever the cause is. I still think that liver stagnation is at the root of it. I don't think you could go wrong with Humaworm. It has many herbs which encourage the liver to release bile and, of course, kill the flukes that add to the congestion. If you do it, remember, like I said, it can get worse before it gets better! It might not fix you completely, but it will probably help.
