Re: It was like DRINKING BATTERY ACID! Did I damage my esophagus or stomach lining?
I think the advise given by Hveragerthi as far as that tea made with slippery elm, licorice and yucca would be good as I was recently diagnosed with silent reflux where the reflux of stomach acids burns the throat and the recipe they gave was the same one I saw for helping silent reflux which of course also involves burning of the esophagus.
Be sure your herbs are organic or wildcrafted as these are 7-10 times higher in the phytochemicals that cure and prevent disease. If making a tea, be sure to use distilled or stam distilled water as it is empty and thus absorbs more of the phytonutrients.
Also I concur the aloe vera juice is excellent for burns and was also recommends for gerd. And I recall Dr Schulze helped soothe the 15 year burning of a lady with krohn's by inserting aloe rectally.
For leaky gut, see the article recently sent out by Dr Christopher's (Schulze's teacher) heirs on how to heal leaky gut

also becoming a vegan will help leaky gut. I read a long time ago that the meat etc can lead to leaky gut. Check out hacres.com testimonies to see if there are any on leaky gut with the hallelujah diet (85% raw, whole food, vegan diet that heals so many ills.
