detected with grade a esophagitis

It is very likely that you will soon be able to overcome your GERD which is what your doctors have diagnosed your case as Esophagitis. This condition is due to the reflux of your gastric juice from your stomach up into your Esophagus which is not designed to withstand the gastric juice which is so very corrosive that a drop if placed on the back of your hand will digest your skin in under 10 minutes.

It would seem a pity to postpone your wedding but it is best that you inform your bride to be that you suffer from this ailment which hopefully will be cured well before your wedding date. You can type GERD into the Search Box at the top of the opening page on this forum to read the many cases that have been cured by me and others where the patients have confirmed their cure.

The remedy you must use immediately is Nat Phos 6x Dose 3-6 tablets taken immediately after a meal. This remedy will ensure that the feeling of fullness and the burning sensation in your stomach is overcome and prevent the food coming up into your throat as reported by you.

You must also use Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily and it is made up as follows:

Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
If this is not available the Dry dose in pellets may be used but this is not as effective as the remedy in the original Ethanol pack.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops or 5 pellets of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles. This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is taken as directed.

I note that you have stopped smoking and are avoiding oily food. Eat small meals and do not overload your stomach but you may eat more often if you feel hungry.

Do not drink more than a sip of water after a meal but drink at least 3 ltrs of water or other liquid leaving an hour before or after a meal. Exercise is also essential as it is part of the therapy and you must sweat it out daily if possible.

It is understood that you will STOP all other drugs and medicines you may be taking today.

I wish you well and all happiness in your future wedded life.

You may take the Arnica thrice daily for a week and twice daily thereafter.

You may take 2 Nat Phos 6x tablets after breakfast and up to 6 after lunch and dinner. Reduce the number of tablets when you feel relief and stop them in a few weeks when you feel you are cured.

Keep taking the Arnica on a daily basis once or twice daily for life.

Report your response in 3 days after you start this therapy.

Glad to note that my therapy has helped you as I had predicted. You can now confidently go ahead with your wedding at the end of February when I am sure that you should be cured.

You are fortunate that you listed your case in the nick of time on the ABC and I am glad that I was able to help you in the short space of just 3 days. As you will realize, no allopath could have helped you in this time frame and it is now up to you to keep up your cure by observing a few rules which I shall list below:

Do not eat any fried, fatty food. No mutton, pork, or butter, milk or other fats.

Do not drink any water except for a sip or two after a meal. This is to help your food to go down. Not up into your Esophagus. Drink plenty of water about 2 hours after or up to half hour before a meal.

You will eat small and light meals but if you feel hungry you may eat 4 or 5 meals. The idea is to help your digestive system to repair itself.

The Arnica will help to heal your Esophagus which is badly eroded by the gastric juice that you have refluxed upwards to your throat.

Please note that you can reduce the number of Nat Phos tablets you are taking today down to just 2 and you will be the best judge of how many you should take after a meal.

I cannot help observing that this form of an almost instant cure is perhaps the reason why classical homeopaths have labelled my therapy as 'Joepathy', as they would never have prescribed the 2 remedies Arnica and Nat Phos in the manner that I did.

I wish you well.

One other point that I forgot to mention is that you should not sleep for about 2 hours after dinner. This is to prevent the reflux of food which can occur if you do.

I can only presume that you are still eating too much food at a sitting and this is perhaps the reason for the food escaping upwards through the lower Esophagal Valve which is also eroded by the Hydrochloric Acid in the Gastric Juice. We can only hope that your daily protocol of taking the 2 remedies will soon rebuild the valve which will then not permit food to escape upwards. You can certainly eat more small meals and you will not drink any liquid immediately after to enable the food to be digested and passed down into the gut.

Please observe my instructions not to sleep for 2 hours after dinner. You should also sit upright after all meals to ensure that you do not reflux your food.

'2. Can I take skimmed milk in the breakfast with cornflakes?
3. Can I take eggs and Curd?

You may eat cornflakes with a little low fat milk and eat eggs but you cannot eat Curd as it just concentrated milk fat.

It occurs to me that you may benefit by stopping all milk products for about a week to see if you are allergic to milk protein and fat.

Hi Akshat,
I sincerely hope you feel better soon. Out of curiosity, what are the symptoms of Grade A Esophagitis? Do they diagnose it with a barium swallow or with a more invasive procedure?

Glad to note your positive approach towards healing. Your attitude will go a long way in your eventual cure which I believe is just weeks away. It is up to you to cooperate in maintaining strict discipline in your diet and use the two simple remedies I have prescribed for some months into the future. When you are sure that you do not reflux your food you can then stop the Nat Phos but you will continue the Arnica for life.

I have recently treated a patient who had left his condition too long and suffered agonizing pain and was in surgery when he was diagnosed with Barret's Esophagus which unfortunately is terminal.

Please report progress weekly or more often on this Forum.

Joepathy usually works miracles !

I see that you have posted on January 26 but I did not receive the email alert and was unaware of your other posts and came across this post today.

I cannot account for your constipation which is very unusual since you are taking Nat Phos which helps to soften the stools.

Please list all the remedies you are using today and you can also help by evaluating if any food you are eating can be the cause.

I hope I will be alerted to your reply but if I do not respond please alert me by email.

I note that you refer to 4 drops of Arnica. I cannot understand the reason why you are taking Arnica in DROPS as I did not prescribe it. Please STOP it immediately.

Here is what I did prescribe copied from a post above.

You must also use Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily and it is made up as follows:

Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
If this is not available the Dry dose in pellets may be used but this is not as effective as the remedy in the original Ethanol pack.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops or 5 pellets of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles. This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is taken as directed.

I note that you feel better than you did last week except for your constipation.

I would like you to eat more fruits like Papaya, Bananas, Plums or Prunes and also drink a least 3 ltr water or other liquid daily. You will not drink any canned beverages.

I note that you do not eat any cooked vegetables. This too may be the reason for your constipation.

You must also exercise daily to sweat it out if you wish to be cured.
