G.E.R.D. - Another Fine Example of Modern Medicine

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or Heartburn, effects thousands of Americans. The "traditional" (or last 50 years treatment) has been to medicate in an attempt to decrease acid content of the stomach to relieve again....the Symptoms. This in most cases, does the exact opposite of treating to solve and keeps you as a happy client for those fine drug companies.
Here's a few tips for treating Heartburn.
1. If you Smoke, STOP! Every smoker has G.E.R.D. to some degree.
2. Do not drink alcohol, coffee, or soda as these agitate the symptoms.
3. Do not lie down for three hours after meals to let gravity and digestion keep it down.
4. Eat smaller meals and CHEW completely to aid in early digestion.
5. Do not mix Proteins with Starches (Meat & Potatoes for you "Real Americans")
6. Avoid ALL Dairy and Sugars as you should anyways (www.notmilk.com)
