So I went to a doctor appointment and was given a prescription.
It kind of worked, but not for long and I soon found myself
making another appointment with a different doctor. I was given
a prescription for a different medicine. It sort of worked for a
while and then didn’t. Are you seeing the pattern?
Not only did they not work effectively, when I would
stop taking them the symptoms grew worse. I was later told this
is the rebound effect. Your body has to have these drugs to be
comfortable. The drugs have certain addictive qualities that
make them harder to get off of when you have been taking them
for a couple of weeks.
Yeah, so I decided there must be a better way to deal with
acid reflux disease. I started looking toward natural and
ancient medicine to see what morsels of wisdom I may find to
alleviate my heartburn suffering.
At first reading through the holistic medicine websites
seemed every bit as confusing as pharmaceutical and western
medicine has always been; a zillion different supplements to
choose from instead of the zillion acid reflux drugs.
So I
relied on guaranteed natural information.
But as I read I began to understand some of the big
differences between modern medicine and ancient medicine of
various peoples. Ancient or natural/holistic medicine always
works to correct imbalances that are the root causes of the
given disease or painful condition.
Modern Western medicine is more concerned with quick results
and appearances. Modern medicine treats the symptoms and not the
causes, the underlying imbalances that take place from time to
time.
Only by simplifying our lives can our body effectively alert
us to these imbalances and guide us toward the foods that will
help return us to full health. I’ve found that as I quit
medicating my heartburn I was able to ‘hear’ my body better. I
was able to determine which foods set off acid reflux and which
did not.
Over time I’ve continued to make subtle changes I my eating
habits and it’s been more than three years since a serious bout
of heartburn. I encourage you to look into the underlying causes
of your acid reflux as well. Of course everyone’s situation is
different, but there are simple things we can do to increase our
comfort and wellbeing even if it does not completely alleviate
all symptoms.
