 | The Heartburn Story
|
A Review: Heartburn vs GERD?
- Heartburn is the common name for the symptom of a burning sensation behind the breastbone. The burning may be caused by acid splashing up into the esophagus causing pain.
 - GERD is short for gastro-esophageal reflux, a "dis-ease" where the lower sphincter of the esophagus does not tighten properly to hold the acid in the stomach.
Allopathic (MD) view vs Naturopathic view
- View #1: The body has a problem and produces TOO MUCH ACID. The ONLY answer is to "stop the problem" with drugs which suppress the bodies natural acid production. They do this to stop the pain of heartburn and to prevent stomach and esophageal cancer.
- View #2: The body is WISE and is simply telling you to pay attention to it. The cure is in figuring out what is causing the problem.
The trouble with anti-acid medication
- Side effects include stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, nausea, headaches
- Suppressing acid secretion causes IMPROPER DIGESTION
- Normal cascade of digestion enzymes in stomach is disrupted
- Proteins and fats are not broken down in stomach
- Stomach contents are not sterilized properly. Bacteria, yeasts and parasites on our food are not killed in the stomach and move into your intestines
- Stomach sphincter does NOT close because the pH is higher than normal (proper acid means LOW pH and causes the sphincter to close tightly to protect the mucous membrane of the esophagus.)
- Organs such as the pancreas and gall bladder do not get proper signals to release contents for further digestion.
- NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES AS A RESULT
- B12, iron, copper, calcium, folic acid, zinc and protein deficiencies are found in patients who take acid blocking medications. Testing is available.
- NOTE: If you are having trouble discontinuing your acid blocking medication, I highly recommend you seek the help of a naturopathic physician.
What are the Top 3 CAUSES of Heartburn
1. Food Intolerance
Avoiding the foods you are intolerant to will remove sources of toxicity in your gastrointestinal lining, and allow proper function to occur.
2. Stress
Stress hormones in the blood stream SLOW digestion and cause the lower esophageal sphincter to remain open. The open sphincter allows acid to splash up and causes pain.
3. Low Hydrochloric Acid
Low acid production causes the sphincter to remain open and acid to splash up into the esophagus causing pain.
What then are the Top 3 Cures?
- Get your blood tested for Food Intolerance
- Simple blood test in office or kit can be sent to you
- Avoid the foods you are intolerant to and your GI tract will improve its function
- Reduce Stress
- Exercise is the number one way to do this
- Meditation
- Yoga
- INCREASE low hydrochloric acid
- WAIT! WHAT CAUSES chronic LOW acid??
- The most common cause is stress, especially adding in eating quickly, and skipping meals. Other causes include eating sugar and processed foods.
- Remove sugar, coffee, alcohol, processed foods from your diet. Eat slowly and when you are relaxed.
- Learn more about Whole Foods Diet
- Take apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp before meals
- Take Betaine HCL which mimics stomach acid (only take under doctor's supervision) to "jumpstart" your stomach to make acid.
TAKE AWAY MESSAGE:
Your body is wise, and functions properly under the right circumstances. Stopping the normal healthy functions of the body will never be a positive long term solution.

THINNER PEACE...aaaaaah

When I work with those interested in losing weight, I first try and uncover the CAUSE of the weight gain!!! A novel idea!!! There are hormonal, brain chemistry issues, emotional issues... many things can cause us to have imbalances in weight. Once we do this, then we can see, and decide together what the BEST course is for achieving your ideal body weight.
The program that took Australia by storm is now in the US!!
I am pleased to be one of the few physicians trained in this method 
of weight loss. ULTRA LITE was developed by a Naturopathic Physician, and teaches you how to eat right for life.
The hCG diet is not for everyone. I conduct a thorough screening, including lab work, before patients are selected for this program. The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of hCG, injected. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
By avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar, and limiting excess carbohydrates you will maximize fat loss as your body will instead burn stored fat, providing energy through natural ketosis.
Research shows that the #1 factor in how much weight is lost and how much is kept off - is Physician monitoring. |
