I
was in New York City recently for an appointment and struck up a
conversation with a young lady (Patricia) who was training to be a nurse.
My
ears perked up when she said that, because I like to "test"
people in the medical field and see if they are, well, strictly mainstream
or possibly holistic.
After
talking for about a minute, it became clear to me that Patricia is getting
trained only in allopathic medicine. I threw a few holistic terms at her
and she had no idea what I was talking about.
But
the good news is, I sparked her interest and curiosity.
She
asked me what I did and I told her I was a nutrition consultant, author and
speaker who specializes in digestive health.
Her
eyes got as big as saucers!
"Oh
my God!"
she said. "I get horrible acid reflux ALL the time, no matter what
I eat! And the PPIs I'm taking don't seem to be helping that much."
I
thought to myself, how sad. She couldn't be more than 25 years old and
already is on the purple pill or one of its cousins. She'll be loaded with
osteoporosis by the time she's 40.
But
I just smiled at her and said, "Well, I have some suggestions if
you're willing to listen."
And
here is what I told this nurse-in-training:
The real root of
"horrible acid reflux"
Acid
reflux is most commonly the result of one of two things:
(1)
What goes IN
and/or
(2)
What goes ON
We'll
start with...
What goes IN
I'll
go out on a limb here and say that most people don't put marshmallow fluff
in the gas tank of their car. Not if they actually want it to run, that is.
But
with what most people eat on a regular basis these days, they're doing
something just as ridiculous.
They're
shoveling in processed (packaged) foods and/or fast food and washing it
down with soft drinks or other sweetened beverages and expecting to feel
good, when in fact they're literally creating a towering inferno in their
chest.
Get
the fire extinguisher!
Or,
they might be eating foods that can actually be considered
"healthy," but in combinations that are hard for the body to
break down.
Either
way, my friend, acid reflux is an almost certainty for you.
Now
let's look at...
What goes ON
Now
we're looking at your innards, and there are 3 different things that might
be going on here.
1- Much too much
When
you eat a typical processed or hard to digest meal, your stomach tries its
best to do its job--that is, begin the initial breakdown of the mess you've
taken in.
It's
a real trooper--it will try and try and try to achieve success.
What
this means is it secretes acid enzymes over and over and over. Believe it
or not, this process can go on for 8 hours or more!
The
end result:
LOTS of acid and poorly digested food sloshing around in there. And that's
precisely the same acid that comes gliding up your throat (especially when
you lie down), or makes you feel like Puff the Magic Dragon.
Your
problems continue down the road, too.
Because
once your poorly digested mess passes to your small intestine, it (along
with your pancreas and gallbladder) has to put forth a Herculean effort to
try and finish the job.
Hello
gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea!
Plus,
your body ends up expending FAR more enzymes than it should have to in
order to accomplish digestion.
And
that can lead to...
2- Waaaay too little
Some
people have the opposite problem -- UNDERproduction of enzymes.
This
is commonly due to diet as well.
You
see, when you spend years or decades in the cycle I just described above,
eventually your body may not be able to produce enough enzymes anymore.
That's
why so many people starting as early as their 40's have digestive issues
when they never did before. Their eating habits catch up with them and
they're runnin' low on enzymes.
This
can also be the result of years of using acid-reducing medications. The
medications stop acid production in your stomach, so that means your foods
are even MORE poorly broken down when they reach your small intestine, and
even MORE enzymes are needed to finish the job. So acid reducing medicines
are never a good idea. Eating better quality foods is always the best
method.
3- You need a little help from
your friends
The
Beatles had it right--we all need a little help from our friends.
And
that's especially true of your gut.
The
friendly flora in your small and large intestines has a hand in the
digestive process, breaking down certain starches and fibers.
Problem
is, most people's diets feed the UNfriendly bacteria in the gut. When the
bad guys outnumber the good, poor digestion (including lots of gas,
bloating and constipation) can result.
Say goodbye to even the
worst acid reflux
Now
that you know what causes acid reflux, here's what you can DO about it.
1- Change what goes IN
When
you ditch the processed crap, fast food and soda and instead eat real foods
in easy to digest combinations, you will likely be astonished at how
quickly your body responds.
It
can happen in as quickly as one meal!
And
if you don't know where to start, I'll help you with the Great Taste No Pain health
system.
In
the Great Taste No Pain manuals,
I spell out the physiological reasons why eating a typical modern diet is
so detrimental to your health, and why eating certain foods together can
make ALL the difference in the world for you.
When
your body can digest your foods easily and efficiently, any overproduction
of acid, wasting of enzymes and digestive agony can quickly subside.
Simple.
You
also get simple meal planning guides, a recipe book full of scrumptious
dishes, and even a credit-card sized dining out guide that will help keep
you feeling great, even after a restaurant meal!
Now,
if you have gluten
challenges on top of everything else, no worries. Great Taste No Gluten is
for you.
You'll
get the same food pairing information as in Great Taste No Pain,
along with a collection of delicious gluten free creations and gluten free
substitution guides.
2- Help what goes ON
Enzyme help
If
you suspect that your body may be already challenged with enzyme production
(especially if you've been a Tums or purple pill popper for a long time),
or want to help conserve what you do have left, enzyme supplementation can
make a big difference.
The most complete
digestive enzyme on the market is Digestizol Max..
Digestizol
Max is loaded with 14 natural,
plant-derived enzymes (so it's even OK for vegetarians) that will give
your body a boost in breaking down everything you eat--proteins, starches,
carbs and fats alike.
Plus,
its herbal formula can help soothe a cranky digestive tract...
Aaaahhh,
you can almost feel the relief already.
Flora help
The
majority of people in developed countries today are walking around with
seriously imbalanced gut flora.
And
if you add in the possibilities of stress, medication use, exposure to
environmental toxins or past or present use of antibiotics (which all harm
your gut flora too), chances are great MOST people have or are close to
having harmful bacteria overgrowth (aka dysbiosis).
Not
only does this hamper your digestion but it can practically destroy your
immune system.
That's
why an effective probiotic supplement is so helpful for the vast majority
of people.
And
that's why we created Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula.
Super
Shield supports both of your intestines--it contains certain bacteria
that inhabit the small intestine and others that live in your colon. So
you're covered from one end of that long intestinal tract to the other!
And
less gas, bloating and constipation can soon be a reality for YOU.
At
this point, Patricia was bubbling with excitement at the idea of getting
rid of her horrible acid reflux for good.
And
she also wanted to show the Great Taste No Pain system
to her instructors at school!
I
told her I wasn't sure what her teachers' reactions would be, but the good
news is she is now armed with the facts she needs to make a HUGE difference
in how she feels...
...FAST.
And
so are YOU.
To
your health,

PPS: Eva's shouting from the
rooftops!
Sherry:
I would like to tell you that
I was very hesitant to order your Great Taste No Pain
program months ago.
I had suffered for almost 20
years with IBS, acid reflux, depression and panic attacks. I had thought
for some time that the panic and depression were linked to my stomach
problems, but doctors just kept giving me more meds and said no way.
Last year after a horrible
bout that sent me to the emergency room and out of work, I was taken to a
mental hospital where I was treated for 20 days every day and all day long.
Shortly after treatment I came around a little, but still struggled because
of my stomach.
I then ordered your program--I
thought, "Why not? I had already spent thousands of dollars on
everything else. I can throw away another few dollars."
I started your program shortly
after I received it and you know what follows.
My whole family has been
amazed at the transformation and weight loss! I have been heavy for years
and don't eat that much. Now I eat 10 times more food than I did back then
and still lose weight.
I don't take meds for IBS or
acid reflux anymore and I don't sleep sitting up. I am weaning off of the
antidepressants and the anxiety meds.
I no longer feel sick all the
time, so I can make plans to live my life and don't have to be panicky when
doing that.
I wish that there were a way
to tell the skeptics just like me not to wait another day to save your life.
I was rock bottom and now I
want to shout it from the rooftops. I tell everybody what your program has
done and even better yet, the people that know me already see it and can't
believe it.
A lot of people mistakenly
thought that the doctors had finally "gotten my meds right" and
were really scared when with the help of my gastro, I began coming OFF of
meds. They feared that I would relapse without them and I kept saying it is
not the meds, it is this program and I have been able to prove that over
and over.
I read all of your letters
daily, but what do you truly say to the one person out of hundreds that
actually helped save your life? In return, I will continue to tell everyone
I know not just about your program, but the common sense ideas that you
teach me everyday.
Hopefully someday people won't
have to suffer like I did and get washed up in that bottomless pit of
helplessness and devastation.
Thank you again and again for
giving me back the person I knew was lost in there somewhere.
Eva
