GERD,Belching for past 6.5yrs - Joe De Livera Page 2 of 3

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Ok Joe, As you asked, I will stop taking Robinia & reduce NatPhos to 3. However, I am still having belching & heart burn problems, even though these are not as bad as earlier.
While browsing in Internet, I found that Carbo Veg is mainly helping to resolve the constipation. So that may be the reason.

Hello Joe,
As you asked, I stopped Robinia & reduced NatPhos to 3tablets/ thrice a day & used this for nearly 3 weeks. I was feeling more heartburn during this period. So last week, I started to take 4tablets of NatPhos again after each meal. After that, the heart burn got reduced & I am now comfortable with that. Currently my remedies are - NatPhos6x - 4tablets/thrice a day, Arnica 30c (wet) - twice, CarboVeg 30c (wet) - 3times. Please advise if any change is required with remedies.

Hello Joe, I am expecting for your reply/inputs.
 
winvik last decade
My apologies for not responding which was due to my not getting the email alert till I saw your post when going through the list today.

I am somewhat surprised that your GERD has not responded but I hope that it will do so as you have indicated that your present protocol seems to be better than the previous.

Continue your therapy and report results weekly. If I do not respond within 24 hours please alert me by email on the address you will find on my link which you can access by clicking on my name above.

Thank you Joe for your kind response. I will update you on the status weekly.

Joe De Livera last decade
Following are the remedies that I am currently taking:
NatPhos6x - 4tablets/thrice a day after meals
Arnica 30c (wet dose) - twice a day
CarboVeg 30c (wet dose) - thrice a day

Hello Joe, Expecting for your response

I cannot understand the reason why I did not get the automatic email alert for your previous post although I got the alert for your post of today.

I must admit that I am indeed disappointed to learn that you are not responding to my therapy. It is likely that your GERD and Belching has turned chronic and it seems to me that my default therapy for GERD has not helped you.

I regret that I do not know of any other remedies that can help you. There are many more that other homeopaths can prescribe for you but I do not have any experience in how they can help you and I prefer not to experiment with remedies which I have not used personally or have prescribed to patients who have recorded their response to them.

I invite other homeopaths to help you.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Even though I am not completely relieved from the heart burn & belching, now I am far better & comfortable than 6 months before. So I can say your remedy is really helping me to be in better position.

Can I use these remedies for some more time, at least these help me to feel better. Thanks a lot for your help & guidance till now.

As you have stated you posted your problem 6 months ago and I am glad to read your statement:
'So I can say your remedy is really helping me to be in better position.'

The problem that you now have to overcome is that your GERD condition was already at a chronic stage when I first took your case as you had suffered for over 6 years with GERD and I presume that you had been treated by your doctors with the standard PPI remedies which would have contributed to make a bad situation infinitely worse. You are fortunate that I took your case and prescribed my default remedies Nat Phos and Arnica which have turned out to be your salvation.

I can reassure you that they are absolutely safe in use in the long run unlike other drugs like the PPI drugs like Nexium and equivalents that work by reducing the flow of acid and have serious side effects which are far more dangerous in the long run than the GERD you suffer from.

I have not prescribed any other remedies than those I have have already given you and this is the reason why I requested other homeopaths to help you.

You can continue to take the 2 remedies and await the advice of other homeopaths who may care to help you.

I shall monitor your case every time I get the email alert.

I wish you well.

A point that came to my mind right now is to inquire if you do any regular daily exercise routine. This is essential for you at your age, if you wish to overcome your GERD.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thank you Joe. I daily used to walk for 40 mins. Then I used to do yoga only.
 
winvik last decade
It just depends on how fast you walk. What is necessary is that your heart BPM is raised above 100 and since you are in your twenties as I remember you can safely lift it over 120 by jogging or some other means.

This will invariably break you out in a profuse sweat and this is what you have to look for as this is the essential part of my therapy if you wish to be cured of your chronic GERD.

You may like to know that I am 83 years of age and exercise nightly for about 45 minutes and at the end of my routine my BPM is usually around 115 at peak stress while I am usually over 100 throughout.

It is the Arnica that helps to keep me in my present condition which many who are less than half my age envy and they do not believe me when I inform them that I am all of 83 years.

Do not give up hope about your GERD problem and if there is anything that I can do to help you, you have only to post here and I shall respond.

Winvik

I came across our conversations which date back to last February and would like to know how you are faring today.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Hello Joe, Sorry I didn't get the email alert regarding this. Today, I just saw the thread. My condition is same as we discussed on last Feb'2012. Belching & heartburn are still persist. Now I am not even taking CarboVeg. Only NatPhos (afternoon & night - 4tablets each) & arnica (morning) I am using.
 
winvik last decade
I used to take CarboVeg when I feel the stomach is full, sometimes.
 
winvik last decade
I have encountered a few other cases like yours that did not respond as they should have done to my Nat Phos therapy.

I added Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose and there was an almost immediate improvement in the patient's GERD.

Suggest you add Nux Vomica in the Wet dose which you will make as follows and take twice daily.

The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
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 of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.

Report your response in 3 days.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thank you Joe for the quick reply. Can I take Nux Vomica pills instead of wet dose. I am asking this, as I have Nux Vom pills already.
 
winvik last decade
You may use 8 pellets in a bottle of spring water 500ml but only till you get the Liquid Dilution which is essential if you wish to make the Wet dose.

Stop ALL other remedies you may be using today and only take NP and NV as instructed.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thank you Joe for the prompt response. I will get the Nux Vom liquid dose soon & meantime, as you suggested, I will prepare wet dose using the pellets.
 
winvik last decade
Hello Joe, I am feeling better now. The heartburn is now got reduced. Though occasionally I am feeling heartburn, I am feeling better now.
 
winvik last decade
Another remedy that can help you to overcome your GERD is Lycopodium 30 in the Wet dose which you can use and test in place of the Nux V.

You will of course continue to take the Nat Phos 6x as usual and I would like to know how many tablets you are using today and how they are helping you.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
I am currently using NatPhos 6x - 4 tablets each after lunch & dinner.
One question - Can I even use NuxVom 3times rather than twice. Will it help.

I will also get the Lycopodium30 in wet dose & report how it is helping.
 
winvik last decade
I would prefer that you switch over to Lyco 30 in the Wd and report your response.
