Reflux acidity _{Page 4 of 8}

To Serv..............

It is no wonder that you are salivating more that usual as you have used the Nat Phos 30x when I prescribed the 6x.

Please stop using the 30x and use only the 6x.

In homeopathy you cannot get away with using the wrong potency as each potency is used for a particular ailment.

I do not remember prescribing the Kali Mur and this could also be the cause of your salivation in combination with the Nat Phos 30x.

It would be of interest to learn how your stomach responded to the 30x. Did you feel better after taking this remedy ?

Also how many tablets did you take and for how long did you do so ?

Servantforever,

Why don't you get out and do some meditating with a group of nice/friendly people and give homeopathy a rest.

Take it easy and follow directions from one practitioner just until things settle down for you.

Take care

Servantforever,

Hope you noticed Joe's post before mine where he indicates you are salivating because you are using the wrong Nat Phos

And she must also stop the combo of Nat Phos 30x with Kali Mur.

Hello Joe, I first wrote about my acid reflux on 5/11/06. Per your kind advise, I stopped the Nexium last Thursday and have been using the Nat Phos biochemic salt for the past week. I have also followed all of your other recommendations regarding coffee, ham, etc. Unfortunately the symptoms have not improved, in fact since stopping the Nexium, they have worsened. Have I just not given the remedy enough time to work, or is there something else that I can try.

I have read many of your past postings and so I have also been taking Arnica wet dose twice a day, since sleeping is difficult when the acid symptoms are bad. It has helped me sleep. I also mentioned that I currently have a bad case of tendonitis in my left ankle, which I have had for 6 weeks now. I had hoped that maybe the Arnica would help with this too, but it has not.

Please advise. If I do not experience some relief soon I will have to begin the Nexium again, since at least with that drug I was able to function with the acid symptoms.

I eagerly await your reply.

Thank you, Lynnette4

I do not know how many tablets of NP you are now taking but you can lift the dosage to a max of 4 tablets per dose for a few days even after 3 meals, to enable your esophagus which has obviously been seriously damaged with the esophagael valve to slowly heal and recuperate. The reason for your problem right now is that this non return valve which prevents the food from being regurgitated up to your throat is leaking and will require the assistance of NP and Arnica to come back to normal. The NP will send the food down ASAP and the Arnica will help to rebuild the damaged tissue.

You will have to be patient and I hope that you realize that you have had a lucky escape from a life dependent on Nexium now and other more powerful drugs later, which others who do not know about homeopathy will be condemned to suffer from, for the entirety of their lives.

This therapy has worked as confirmed by Bekind above and you will have to be patient and let us hope that your patience will not be in vain.

Feel free to report your response as I too will be waiting for a positive one in the near future

Thank you Bekind and Joe, That is what I needed to hear. I can be patient if I know relief is coming. And Bekind, you are right that it is pure hell in the mean time.

I have been taking two tablets after all three meals but will increase to four tablets per your recommendation. I have been taking one teaspoon of the Arnica wet dose twice daily.

Thank you both again, I will keep you posted.

One more question. Is there anything that I can take for the tendonitis in my left ankle that will not interfere with the acid treatment.

The pain in on the outside and upper portion of the left ankle. It has been going on for 6 weeks now. At first is was confined to the ankle area, but now it radiates up to the outer side of my knee and even up into my left hip. I have been resting it and icing it, but has worsened. I had hoped that the Arnica wet dose would help it, but it has not.

Any ideas? Thank you, Lynnette

The remedy for Tendonitis is Ruta Grav and you can use the 30c potency but this can interfere with the treatment for your chief ailment.

I prefer that you keep on with the Arnica which is essential for the regeneration of a new inner lining in you esophagus and this may take some time to come back to normal after the tough skin it now has with the constant acid attacks.

Let us observe how the Arnica can help your ankle as this remedy too is indicated.

thank you Joe, I will continue with the Arnica and keep you posted. I am so grateful for your help.

Thank you again, Lynnette

Hi Joe

This is your first reply to the post made by
rashmi4jan:

'Nat Phos 6x is your remedy.

Stop taking all drugs and antiacids that you used in the past and take 2 tablets of Nat Phos 6x after lunch and dinner. This remedy works by promoting peristalysis in the stomach and prevents the formation of acidity.

Do not eat any heavy meals for a few days to help your stomach to recover and report results in 3 days.

Nat Phos 6x will also reduce weight if taken regularly in the same dose.

One question -- Do you get hunger pains before meals ? These are a sign of the stomach acid and enzymes eroding the mucus lining of the stomach and we may have to treat this condition separately.'

I am having this acidity problem for some 3 months. And more importantly the sign which you just mentioned as your very comment I have obeserved it happening for 3 times in last 3 months.

I am bit worried after hearing reading the cause of it.

Can you please advice me with the type/name of the medicine to be taken.

Age = 30
Weigth = 83 kg.

Thanks,

To Vicky

I cannot understand what exactly you wish to convey to me in your 2 posts. You have quoted a post I have made to rashmi where there is reference to Nat Phos 6x.

It is important that you state your ailment clearly to enable me to give you a solution to your problem.

Hi Joe,

I have been suffering from acidity. Heart burns, acidic burps, feeling uneasy in the chest region and have lot of gas formation which results in farting (usually happens from evening time say after 5 pm).

I have also observed sometimes atleast three times when my stomach pained a lot while I was having lunch (before and during lunch).

Please advice me.

Nat Phos 6x Biochemic cell salt is your remedy.

You are advised to use 2 tablets after both lunch and dinner.

The pain you experienced in your stomach is because it is digesting itself because of the excess acid which you must prevent at all costs as it can lead to stomach ulcers.

You must keep it busy

Continued:

You must keep it busy by eating small meals often to ensure that you never get hunger pains which lead to a cholic when the digestive juices attack the mucus layer in your stomach which is impervious to the acid and enzymes in your gastric juices.

Keep a packet of biscuits handy and eat one to ensure that you never get hunger pains.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply. I will start taking medicine from tomorrow. I have one more question how long I need to take the medicine?

I need your advice on one more thing, please see the posting in this link:

This is about my mother.

Thanks,
Vicky.

You may take Nat Phos 6x quite safely for as long as you feel that it is doing you some good.

Many chronic cases who were wedded to Nexium and Antacids have discovered that they are cured when they do not have to use this remedy any more. This is when you stop using it but you can always have a supply at home to be used say after a heavy meal with one feels full. I use it myself whenever I eat out if I feel uncomfortable with the food whihc usually consists of more fat that is used at home.

Please post your response to this therapy.

I have answered your mother's post already.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply.

I will keep you updated with the medication and its result.


Thanks,
Vicky.

Acid reflux can be eliminated by eating two or three slices of apple after you eat. This completly solves the problem and will eliminate the acid problem of accumulation of acids in your upper intestine and throat areas. There is a website where a person is charging thirty nine dollars to reveal this remedy and I tried it worked for me. Goodby acid reflux and acidity problems. Its a simple home remedy but will work very well lluxit a

Hi Generator, I saw that web site. Did you actually pay for his report. Did it just say eat apple slices after the meal? No specific apple, or other recommendations?

I am curious.

I am improving using Nat Phos and Arnica,but natural dietary solutions can only help.

Thanks, Lynnette

I did not actually pay for the information I just assumed that the rest of the speal was just a come on to make you pay the money and this was all you get. I just tried it with ordinary delicious type apples and it works fine for me. Perviously I had so much acid reflux that I would not go to sleep at night without two rolls of tumms or rolaids antiacids under my pillow. Then a doctor at M.D.Anderson Hospital in Houston Tx told me that acid reflux was just the digestive system asking for more saliva to digest my food, and he recommended chewing gum after meals and that cured the problem. But now taht I an 65ish I stay away from gum because it causes loose gums so I had to find a new remedy.And apples seems to do the trick. By the way can you tell me how to correct a typo error on this website.---------------by. Ail

Aashish

To Aashish

I cannot trace your earlier post which you refer to but I have so many patients who ask for assistance that it is not possible to keep track of all.

Yes you can increase the dose to a maximum of 4 but if you feel a slight bitter taste on your tongue, reduce it to 3.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the immediate reply. I already have a little bitter taste on my toungue with 2 tabs. One more thing that i forgot to mention to you is that i have stated getting burps with the acid coming into my mouth and i have a constant feeling of heart burn. this has started only recently after stating on Nat phos 6x. My earlier post is dated 8/05/06

I believe that you are a chronic case of GERD from which you have suffered for some considerable time.

I believe that your esophagael valve which is a non return type is eroded by the gastric juices and this reflux has already damaged your esophagus which will take some time to heal.

You are advised not to eat only small meals but often and not to sleep after dinner for at least 3 hours.

In your case Nat Phos alone may not do and you are advised to use Arnica 30c in the wet dose 1 teaspoonful twice daily to promote the healing of your esophagus.
