GERD - Acid Reflux Disease

Prevent or Reverse The Symptoms of Heartburn/Acid Reflux

Heartburn is the most common symptom of acid reflux or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease or "I Eat Too Much Acidic Food Dis-Ease"), which is the third most prevalent acidic condition in the U.S., affecting more than 19 million people. Most acid sufferers describe heartburn as a burning sensation just behind the sternum, and other symptoms may include hoarseness, coughing, changes in the voice, earache, nausea, and problems with sinusitis. Heartburn doesn't always indicate GERD, but heartburn more than once a week raises a red flag of an over-acidic condition.



When GERD is diagnosed, it means there is mucosal damage caused by abnormal acid reflux in the esophagus, usually caused by changes in the barrier separating the esophagus from the stomach. If left untreated, constant acid exposure an trigger a disorder called Barrett's esophagus, a premalignant condition which can develop into esophageal cancer. Roughly ten percent of people who get medical attention for acid heartburn are found to have Barrett's esophagus or "I Eat Too Much Acidic Food Dis-Ease."



Treatments for GERD are NOT resolved with prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications. They only treat the symptoms. Making lifestyle and dietary changes to an alkaline lifestyle and diet will prevent and reverse the symptoms of acid reflux in just a few weeks and sometimes a few days. If you would like to avoid medication, avoid surgery, and also avoid elevating your bed so you can sleep at night without fear rolling off onto the floor at 3:00 a.m., there are several things you can do that help prevent acid reflux:



1. Get off your "acid" and start exercising. I

recommend low impact exercising for at least 1 hour

daily, such as rebounding, swimming, cycling, whole

body vibration, jogging, weight lifting and dry

heat infared sauna.

2. Eliminate all acidic beverages such as alcohol

coffee, tea, soda drinks, fruit juices and start

drinking Alkaline Water throughout the day. I also

recommend drinking some salt water first thing in

the morning and last thing at night using 1 scoop

of the pHour salts.

3. Take pHlush and puripHy to clear the alimentary

canal of acidic protein, sugar, mucous, bacteria,

yeast and parasites.

4. In order to keep the esophagus-stomach barrier

strong, don't smoke tobacco or pot.



5. Eliminate all acidic foods from animal proteins,

dairy, high Sugar fruits, vinegar, corn, peanuts,

mushrooms, soy sauce, and processed salt. Eat

alkaline foods from green fruits and vegetabels.



6. Eat less more often rather then more less often.

Eat smaller meals, and don't eat close to bedtime.



7. Stay away from raw or processed chocolate as

well as sweeteners including the natural ones such

as agave and stevia.



8. Take in the four foods groups daily as defined

by Dr. Young, including chlorophyll, oil, water

and salt.
