I just read on an M.D., website, Dr. Stoll, that ginger is all one needs to get rid of the problems with hiatal hernia. He goes on to say " juice some hard #2 ginger pieces and take a tsp each morning when getting out of bed. Refrigerate the juice and in about 3 weeks or less, you should see results. I am going to begin on Saturday, and somehow I feel this guy knows what he is talking about. His website www.askwaltstollmd.com
