Re: Reflux (0/1)
Hi,
I suffered from acid reflux so bad in 1996 I was right on the verge of sched
uling surgery.
I couldn't eat anything except cold milk and cereal. I put out a plea for he
lp 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 t
he new truth
to become a part of us .. Thus we receive new facts to make up our proud po
ssession 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 per
son is lying
down. Hiatus hernia can be simply, cheaply and safely resolved. The conventi
onal medical
options for treatment are dangerous (surgery), expensive (special antacids &
#91;Gaviscon] to
coat the esophagus, prescription antispasmotics and tranquilizers); a real b
other
(propping up the head of the bed eight inches, not eating for four hours bef
ore 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 uppe
r intestinal
tract that have not responded to conventional treatment.
Anyone with an established diagnosis of hiatus hernia should do the followin
g 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 t
he root, the
more juice there is in it. Buy about two pounds of the stuff. Extract the ju
ice with a
juicer. For some reason (the Chinese medical practitioners know why-somethin
g 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 saf
ely 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 wi
ll cause you
no harm and lasts only a few seconds. In a few days, you will become accusto
med 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 b
e 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 sh
ould 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 special
ist 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) condit
ion, that
people can do for themselves that works so quickly and universally.
Why hasn't this technique been thoroughly investigated and used by conventio
nal doctors?
There isn't any financial advantage to the medical system to solve this prob
lem so simply.
Try patenting ginger root! After all, people wouldn't need the medical syste
m at all to
solve this conventionally incurable problem would be solved at the grocery s
tore.
If anyone with a hiatus hernia reads this, tries it and it doesn't work, I w
ould 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. Wh
en 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 patien
ts at the same
time I reduced the frustration most professionals feel when treating this! c
ondition.
In the late 1980s there was a movement in California to pass a bill requirin
g that a
treatment had to work before an insurance company would be required to pay f
or it.
Recently, believe it of not, that wonderful concept has been suggested in ma
ny 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 s
oon 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 the
y 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 t
o be
responsible for my health: if I just paid enough money, surely I wouldn't ha
ve 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 si
p. It does
burn but instantly feels like a warm healing glow. I have used GRJ continuou
sly since
1996. It doesn't heal the esophagus but it does reduce the pain and does *he
lp* heal the
esophagus. I have learned by trial and error to sip the GRJ first thing in t
he 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 s
ide. 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 pro
pping up head
with pillows. This actually causes more problems as it puts additional press
ure 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 o
f my bed frame
with books, blocks, etc. but it was always unstable and felt like it might f
all at any
time. I eventually went to metal shop and had a special frame built with alu
minum 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 b
ed to sleep.
Some people have had to sleep propped up in a corner to remain erect. Gravit
y 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 agai
n as intended.
Ten years after being on the verge of surgery, I can now eat anything modera
tely, drink
coffee, the occasional beer, etc. etc.
So surgery can be avoided but it will take work and ingenuity on your part a
nd 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 perf
orming
autopsy's on cadavers was thought insane. He died broke and in an insane asy
lum.
The doctors who said stomach ulcers were caused by a bacteria, h. pylori, we
re 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.
