| Hi,
I suffered from acid reflux so bad in 1996 I was right on the verge of scheduling surgery.
I couldn't eat anything except cold milk and cereal. I put out a plea for help just like
you and thankfully a guy answered me and told me about Ginger Root Juice. I had never
heard of it but I was willing to try anything.
He referred me a book "Saving Yourself from the Disease-care Crisis" by Dr. Walt Stoll.
I quote here:
"Hiatus Hernia
Someone must teach new things. Someone must take the abuse. Someone must be ostracized.
Some one must be called a fraud and a quack. Then, out of all of it, comes the new truth
to become a part of us ... Thus we receive new facts to make up our proud possession of
knowledge. -Fred Hart (1888-1975) Founder of the National Health Federation
Hiatus hernia is an increasingly common condition in which gastric contents escape up into
the esophagus, causing heartburn symptoms that tend to be worse when the person is lying
down. Hiatus hernia can be simply, cheaply and safely resolved. The conventional medical
options for treatment are dangerous (surgery), expensive (special antacids [Gaviscon] to
coat the esophagus, prescription antispasmotics and tranquilizers); a real bother
(propping up the head of the bed eight inches, not eating for four hours before retiring,
avoiding alcohol and losing weight); and not very effective.
Although the following simple treatment was originally described to me as a way to cure
hiatus hernia, it is also nearly as effective for other symptoms of the upper intestinal
tract that have not responded to conventional treatment.
Anyone with an established diagnosis of hiatus hernia should do the following if they
would like to be rid of it. Go to the grocery store and buy about two pounds of fresh
ginger root (you will find it in the fresh vegetable section). The heavier the root, the
more juice there is in it. Buy about two pounds of the stuff. Extract the juice with a
juicer. For some reason (the Chinese medical practitioners know why-something to do with
the yin/yang), the shredding type of juicer works best. If you use a blender (that slices
things up) this will not work as well. Collect all the juice and store it in the
refrigerator. You will notice some settlings in the bottom which you can safely ignore.
Every morning, on arising, take a teaspoon of the juice straight. At first, it will feel
like you have swallowed two-hundred proof alcohol. However, the sensation will cause you
no harm and lasts only a few seconds. In a few days, you will become accustomed to the
warming sensation and won't notice it so much. Be sure to keep this up for a full three
weeks or the problem may recur.
Within a few days you will begin to see some benefits. Your problem should be gone long
before the three weeks are up. If the problem should ever start to come back, just do the
procedure again. However, if you start as soon as the symptoms recur, you should only have
to take the ginger root juice a few days. If you wait till it has been there for a few
months, you may have to do the whole three weeks again.
No one knows why this works. However, ever since my Chinese medicine specialist told me
about it, it has cured every patient I have been able to convince to use it. What a relief
to have an approach for a conventionally incurable (short of surgery) condition, that
people can do for themselves that works so quickly and universally.
Why hasn't this technique been thoroughly investigated and used by conventional doctors?
There isn't any financial advantage to the medical system to solve this problem so simply.
Try patenting ginger root! After all, people wouldn't need the medical system at all to
solve this conventionally incurable problem would be solved at the grocery store.
If anyone with a hiatus hernia reads this, tries it and it doesn't work, I would sincerely
appreciate hearing from them. So far, this has always been effective for an estimated
number of over on hundred patients-all who have tried it. There is no risk. It's a
inexpensive, do-it-yourself, short-term therapy-what do yo have to lose? As always, I do
not recommend stopping any conventional therapy while trying this remedy. When your
symptoms are gone, you can discuss stopping medications with the doctor who prescribed
them. Who knows, s/he might even lean something that would help other patients at the same
time I reduced the frustration most professionals feel when treating this! condition.
In the late 1980s there was a movement in California to pass a bill requiring that a
treatment had to work before an insurance company would be required to pay for it.
Recently, believe it of not, that wonderful concept has been suggested in many areas of
this country. If that were the law of the land, complementary medicine would be accepted
overnight.
All healing philosophies would be on an equal footing and what works would soon win out
over what didn't work. Right now. the allopathic monopoly is forcing people to use their
one philosophy whether it works or not.
Once people begin to realize that their doctors are not telling them how they could help
themselves, they will be more likely to begin asking important questions of the system.
Until then, don't blame the professionals for the whole problem. The public is
contributing to the problem. I, too, would like to be able to hire someone to be
responsible for my health: if I just paid enough money, surely I wouldn't have to take
care of myself. I could just live my life any way I wanted and pay the piper when I had
to. Unfortunately, as much as the medical system has tried to sell that idea, it isn't
working. We must start doing what works."
I immediately bought a juicer, Ginger Root and started taking it immediately. I am chicken
and had my wife take the first sip. She survived and then I took my first sip. It does
burn but instantly feels like a warm healing glow. I have used GRJ continuously since
1996. It doesn't heal the esophagus but it does reduce the pain and does *help* heal the
esophagus. I have learned by trial and error to sip the GRJ first thing in the morning, a
full tablespoon full. This allows the GRJ to slowly run down the esophagus. I then
immediately lay down in a flat bed and gently and slowly roll from side to side. This
helps coat the esophagus with the GRJ. AT my worst stage, I took GRJ several times every
day until the healing started.
Life style changes will be required to stop the acid reflux. First, stop propping up head
with pillows. This actually causes more problems as it puts additional pressure on the LES
(Lower Esophagus Muscle) which allows more acid reflux. You must sleep on a straight
incline by raising the head of your bed frame. I first propped up the head of my bed frame
with books, blocks, etc. but it was always unstable and felt like it might fall at any
time. I eventually went to metal shop and had a special frame built with aluminum tubing.
It is light, cheap and works excellently.
Here are pictures as attachments. Years ago the frame cost about $78.00 but it is the best
money I ever spent on acid reflux.
Second, don't eat or drink anything for about 5 to 6 hours before going to bed to sleep.
Some people have had to sleep propped up in a corner to remain erect. Gravity is what
pulls the acid reflux up into the esophagus.
Don't overeat. Lose weight. Use common sense about what to eat. When the LES is weak it
will take years for it to regain its strength and start closing tightly again as intended.
Ten years after being on the verge of surgery, I can now eat anything moderately, drink
coffee, the occasional beer, etc. etc.
So surgery can be avoided but it will take work and ingenuity on your part and stick to it
ness.
Hope this helps. It sure did me. Gave me my life back.
Take care and stay in touch.
If you'd like to email me do poston8@comcast.net or call 770-421-6776.
I'll be glad to go into more detail if needed.
Remember, the first doctor who suggested doctors wash their hands after performing
autopsy's on cadavers was thought insane. He died broke and in an insane asylum.
The doctors who said stomach ulcers were caused by a bacteria, h. pylori, were laughed at
by the medical society for ten years before eventually doctors accepted his treatment
plan. I have an even better one for h. pylori. I have been infected for ten years and
taken many antibiotic treatments which helps for a few months but it returns. I now use
Mastic Gum from the bark of trees in Greece which works better, cheaper and keeps the bugs
away longer.
