Put out that fire in your chest for good
Hi John
For those of you who are, well, “seasoned” like I am, you probably remember
the
Speedy Alka-Seltzer commercials on TV.
Speedy was a cute little guy whose body was one Alka-Seltzer tablet, and he
wore another as a hat. And he would sing the jingle, “Plop, plop, fizz,
fizz, oh what a relief it is” when describing how Alka-Seltzer could relieve
your bout of heartburn fast.
In later years, the commercials featured a wide-eyed guy who had just eaten
a HUGE meal desperately lamenting, "I can't believe I ate the
who-o-o-o-o-ole thing" and reaching for relief with Alka-Seltzer.
The point is, way back when, heartburn used to be an
occasional thing
you’d get when you ate too much or had an unusually rich meal.
Now? People get it several times a week or
daily, and it’s even
got a fancy title.
Acid reflux disease.
And you know what
that means.
Daily symptoms means daily
drugging. To the tune of nearly
$6
billion in Nexium sales alone in 2013.
But the most maddening thing about this is: Acid reflux is not a true
disease
and it’s completely
preventable!
And even if you do overindulge and create a bout of
heartburn, there
are a lot safer answers besides dangerous drugs to get relief!
Let’s take a look at the dangers of acid reflux drugs, talk about what acid
reflux
really is, how to prevent it, and how to put out the fire of an
occasional bout of heartburn.
“Relief” at a price
The ads for acid reducers like Nexium promise relief from heartburn and
reflux--all you need to do is take one little pill a day.
Most people DO feel some relief when they first start using them and they're
thrilled, thinking that they've found the magic answer.
But alas, my friend, eventually the magic
stops.
Because while reducing or neutralizing stomach acid might initially seem to
put out the flames in your chest, at the same time it's opening up a Pandora's
Box full of other issues that can make you feel WORSE--
not better--and
open you up to other health problems.
Here’s what I mean--reducing or crippling the acid in your stomach can lead
to these major problems:
1- Demolished
digestion
Your body must have stomach acid to properly break down foods, most namely proteins.
So when you eat protein, your stomach naturally secretes acid like it’s
supposed to.
But then the acid gets shut down or weakened by the "magical
drug."
Your stomach senses something's wrong and repeatedly tries to secrete more
acid to get digestion going again...but the "wonder pill" keeps
shutting it down.
This process can go on for
HOURS and result in a pool of acid
sloshing around in your stomach that can come rising up your throat—precisely
what you were hoping to
prevent!
Plus when your digestion is ruined, you can get trouble further down the
road too--namely,
gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
Those symptoms are all listed as side effects on most acid medication boxes
and now you know why that is.
2- Dangerous
deficiency
The Vitamin B12 in your foods is bound to little proteins that must be
"shaved off" before the B12 can be absorbed in your GI tract.
So when your stomach acid is stopped by acid reducers, B12 cannot be
"released" from the protein like it needs to be in order for your
body to absorb it!
Over time this can result in Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to a
whole host of other health issues including memory problems, depression, low
energy and a weak immune system.
3- Disabled defenses
One of the most
vital functions of stomach acid is to destroy
dangerous toxins or pathogens (like salmonella and E. coli) you might ingest
with your food.
Without the protection of properly working stomach acid, you are basically
defenseless against many dangerous microbes in your food.
Make sure you have a clear path between you and the bathroom!
4- Bacterial bedlam
As a consequence of poor digestion and the waste buildup that typically
results from it, your intestinal flora balance can be thrown completely out of
whack.
Not only does this compromise your immune system and make you more
susceptible to every virus and bug around, but it messes up your digestion even
MORE because the friendly bacteria in your gut help to digest certain starches
and fibers.
Now let’s look at the REAL
story
Now that you know the truth about acid reflux drugs, let’s take a look at
what acid reflux
really is, and most importantly, how to prevent it!
Acid reflux is NOT a true disease—it’s simply your body being unable to
effectively break down and completely digest what you’ve put in it.
Period.
And there are three primary reasons that this happens:
Acid reflux cause #1:
Food
It never ceases to amaze me how people load up on garbage foods and meals
that are next-to-impossible to digest, day in and day out, then wonder why they
have a 4-alarm fire in their chest every night.
Really?! That's like saying you're surprised that your thumb is
throbbing after you just slammed it with a hammer.
It's time to face facts, all you acid reflux sufferers.
YOUR DIET
is far and away THE MAIN CAUSE of your misery.
Accept it, stop making excuses and
do something about it!
Like changing your diet to include more nutritious REAL foods and easier to
digest meals.
When you eat foods that are nourishing to your body and meals that are
easier for your system to break down, your body says thank you and a whole new
world can open up for you:
- Imagine--easing the burping, belching or
acid in your throat (or mouth!).
- Imagine--less gas, bloating, flatulence or
BM problems.
- Imagine--possibly reducing or eliminating
your need for acid medications to begin with.
This can become a reality for you when you
follow the
Great
Taste No Pain program.

http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
The GTNP manuals will show you step by step exactly what to do. They'll
spell out what foods are naturally low acid and which ones digest better
together in meals, as well as teach you why eating this way works so well for
everyone--including
YOU.
Nice and easy.
And it's
delicious too--I didn't skimp on the "Great Taste"
part! Just wait until you try my spaghetti sauce, soups, shrimp scampi
and more!

Acid reflux cause #2:
Enzymes
If you've eaten a typical hard to digest diet for quite some time, chances
are excellent that you have expended WAAYY more digestive enzymes than Nature intended
you to.
As a result,
your body's ability to produce adequate enzymes may be greatly reduced...and
this can be a major contributing factor to poor digestion and acid reflux!
Plus as we age, our bodies' ability to produce enzymes naturally decreases.
If you suspect low enzymes are a concern for you, or have out and out been
told you're low in stomach acid, then
Digestizol
Max is your ticket for getting the help you need.

http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/dmax.asp
Digestizol Max's 14 plant-derived enzymes and 5 herbal soothers can help
give your body a boost to keep your digestion nice and smooth -- and help make
acid reflux, GERD and heartburn a thing of the past for you.
Acid reflux cause #3:
Stress
Stress is also a common cause of ruined digestion and acid reflux.
You see, digestion is a
parasympathetic process, meaning your body
must
be in a
relaxed, non-stressed state for it to be accomplished
efficiently.
Eating in a relaxed state also encourages you to eat slower, which means
that your body can recognize satiety before you overeat (and bring on a bout of
heartburn).
But if you instead eat when your
sympathetic nervous system is in
gear (such as when you're working, driving, emotionally upset, stressed,
rushing, etc.) that can have a
devastating impact on your digestion and
lead to reflux.
So slow down and relax! Avoid eating in a stressed state. Make
time for meals and don't eat on the run.
And if stress is an ongoing issue for you, it's time to take a look at ways
to reduce the stress in your life. There are many helpful suggestions,
programs and exercise options out there.
But what if I’m naughty
every once in a while?
We’re all human…and that means that every now and then, we might be naughty
and overindulge a little too much.
And end up with heartburn as a result!
But there are safe, natural answers for occasional heartburn too—here are
some you can try:
1) Fresh ginger
Fresh ginger root has been used since ancient times as a natural
anti-inflammatory
and a treatment for digestive conditions.
It can easily be peeled, sliced, diced or grated. You can stir it into
barbecue sauces, steep it in a cup of tea, use it in a stir-fry, add some to
smoothies or enjoy it thinly shaved with sushi.
2) Licorice
Licorice root is soothing to the mucous membranes of the GI tract and can
promote healing.
However, the
glycyrrhizic acid in licorice root can raise your blood
pressure and lower potassium levels if you eat too much, so look for
deglycerrhized
licorice (DGL licorice) supplements in health food stores.
3) Slippery elm bark
Slippery elm bark is another herb which soothes mucous membranes and has
been used as a remedy for stomach problems for
centuries by European and
Native American cultures.
You can brew a tea with slippery elm bark or purchase slippery elm lozenges
at health food stores.
4) Aloe vera
Aloe vera juice is another natural anti-inflammatory that can help soothe
inflammation in the stomach or esophagus.
Aloe vera is available at many health food stores and retail merchants.
5) Apple cider vinegar
Sometime heartburn can result from too
little stomach acid.
In those cases, you can easily improve the acid content of your stomach by
taking one tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a large glass of
water.
Do all you can to eliminate the underlying causes of
acid reflux (as
well as take safer, natural measures to combat occasional
heartburn) and
I’m sure it won’t be long before
you’re feeling tremendous relief
like Paul and his friends (down below).
To your health,

Dear Sherry,
I, too, suffered with acid reflux for about
eight months.
I saw four doctors each prescribing a different
medicine. I would cough so hard sometimes I thought I would lose my
breath. I finally decided the medicine was going to kill me or the cough
would.
Finally I found your amazing website and by
following the plan just as you said I have lost 18 pounds and three sizes in my
clothes in only 3 weeks!
My reflux is completely gone and I have more
energy than ever. Thanks for this amazing program.
I now have quite a few of my friends on this
regimen since they have seen my results.
Thanks, again.
