Update July, 2020:
This condition has become so common that a new disease has been created: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). This is a digestive disorder that occurs when acidic stomach juices, or food and fluids back up from the stomach into the esophagus. GERD affects people of all ages—from infants to older adults. People with asthma are at higher risk of developing GERD.
As products are added or reformulated to continue to meet clients’ needs; supply of quality raw materials; and maintain all countries’ regulatory demands, products may be different or have different names. Please contact Lorene for current recommendations that work for you!
The basic solutions for this condition remain the same as they were when I started in ther natural health field the late 70’s, as they were in 2009 when this was my first article posted, and will be in 2040.
A client, Bob, was diagnosed with acid reflux. The acid reflux caused very painful burning within the stomach and was so bad that it would creep up into his chest causing “heartburn” and sometimes into his throat causing a sore throat.
He had used every possible medication that was available. In the beginning the medication eased the pain, but after awhile it did not work. The burning made him feel miserable and sick. He lost energy and did not sleep well.
This process continued for 5 years.
He met Lorene Benoit and attended one of her information classes. He decided to start a program of Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic 2 oz a day, ULC- R in CA / Gastro Health in US – 2 with 2 meals, and 2 at bed time, All Cell Detox 4 at bedtime, and Pea Protein 1 scoop a day in a shake.
He took the wheat, the sugar the yeast out of his diet. Within 2 weeks all burning subsided and has not returned. He says he eats and sleeps a lot better and his energy has returned. He is so very grateful to the Nature’s Sunshine program.
Phamaceuticals that decrease stomach acid (antacids or acid blockers) do nothing to address the underlying cause, and in the long term, will increase problems.
There are many different ways to approach this common challenge, as every person’s body is different. Other supplements that help many people are digestive enzymes, fibre, probiotics, Aloe Vera Juice, Ultimate GreenZone. Choices are based on age, bowel movements, activity level and diet, to name a few.
Other than throat irritation or heartburn, the following symptoms that are common and relate to the same challenge is GAS: going up (burping) , going down (flatulence), or not moving (bloating).
You have probably heard the saying, ” you are what you eat”, but just as important, is “what you digest, assimilate and eliminate”.
