Diagnosed with Gerd???

I was blessed with a teacher of Natural Medicine, what a breath of fresh air, this was. Sadly, I will probably never encounter another instructor, such as he ....he challenged us to THINK outside of the box--or textbooks.

I had spent numerous nights in the ER, scared to death, that I was dying of a heart attack. Each time, I was given a crappy tasting cocktail and sent on my merry way.

I finally found my way to a GI Dr. who diagnosed me with GERD. Oddly, about the same time....so was my brother. We both spent YEARS taking Nexium, Prilosec and numerous other "antacids", to control the symptoms--with VERY little relief.

Through my studies, I learned that the "antacids" only exacerbated the symptoms. This is how it was explained to me....we need acid to digest our food, correct? Yes. If we do not have the acids, to break down our food for digestion, what happens? Well, it is similar to a compost, that you would find on a farm, etc....the foods sit and ROT and cause more medical issues.

GERD is simply a term, that is used, to help RX MORE medicines!!! You NEED acid!!! The problem is not that we have TOO much acid, it is more a matter of NOT ENOUGH acid, to help aid in digestion. And yes, I went through the test of having a tube up my nose and down my throat-----only to say that I was WAY high on acid. NEVER AGAIN!!

So what will help cure your GERD??? Simple! Organic (I stress organic) Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple Cider vinegar, goes back to the old days--when it was used for HUNDREDS of ailments.

I simply take a shot glass size of vinegar, 3x a day. This has helped cure both my brother and myself, of these "GERD" symptoms. My brother never leaves home without his bottle of ACV. I have been using it for quite some time, so if I miss a few doses, I still do not have issues.

My mother mentioned to me today, that this is the first time, in YEARS--that my brother has made it through a Winter, without being ill. He also has asthma and has not had to use his inhaler for months.

There are MANY other uses for Apple Cider Vinegar; High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Alleriges, Infection, Colds, Skin Conditions, Sore Throats, Arthritis, Bone Loss, Weight Control, Regulating Bowl Habits and many other ailments....there is nothing that can hurt you, only help!

My teacher actually couldn't take the bite of the vinegar, so he had his own formula....put the shot size dose of vinegar, in a water bottle, with a splash of organic honey. Not only will it help with the taste but also help you get your daily water consumption.

For me personally, I prefer to get it over with...I don't mind the taste--it burns right away but is gone, immediately. Whatever works for you.......

Happy Healthing!
