Every medication pill under the sun is considered to be the 'cure all, end all' of problems; right? Wrong! Especially if a little common sense is used. Fifteen million Americans have scrips for Acid Reflux spending $10 billion for them. A new study at Johns Hopkins now state side affects can cause Kidney shut down and with no warning signs. Doctors recommend taking the pills no more than three times a year; 8 weeks for prescription meds and 2 weeks for over-the-counter meds. If people used common sense, they wouldn't get Acid Reflux. First of all, your stomach has a certain amount of acid in it to break down the food you are ingesting. Secondly, if you are 'wolfing' down your food, the acid in your stomach is trying to break down those huge chunks you are sending to it and 'splooshing' the acid upwards. It doesn't take an Einstein or a rocket scientist to figure out what you need to do. If spicy foods upset your stomach; stop eating the damn things. Take the time to take smaller bites and CHEW them thoroughly (allow the acid in your stomach to do its job). The Cure - If you do get Acid Reflux, cure it the natural way. A tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a cup of water with a little honey and drink it. You can do this before a meal, during a meal, after a meal or at bed time.
