GERD,Belching for past 6.5yrs - Joe De Livera

Gerd & Anxiety -Joe De livera From winvik on 2011-10-06
Hello Joe,

I have seen your various posts regarding GERD in this forum. Actually I am suffering from GERD for the past 6.5yrs & I am 28 years old now. I have taken many medicines from allopathy, siddha & homeoptahy.

Based on your posts, now I am taking NatPhos 6x -3, 3times daily after meals. Also I am taking Arnica 6c. I am feeling better. But some times, it seems I am not getting any relief from the medicine & I am getting severe heartburn. Do i need to take any thing more. Please advise.

To Winvik

Glad to note that you have used my therapy aka 'Joepathy' to help with your GERD from which I am surprised to note that you have suffered from for the last 6.5 years during your short lifetime of 28 years. You state that you have taken 'many medicines from allopathy, siddha & homeopathy.'
and I presume that you have been prescribed the usual PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs by your doctors all of which would have had some side effects on you.

You can consider yourself as being fortunate that you visited this ABC Forum and decided on you own to use my default therapy for GERD Nat Phos 6x and Arnica 30. The reason why you are not getting the relief that you should expect is because you have not taken sufficient tablets and in your case I would suggest that you up the dosage to 4 tablets after every meal, 3 times daily and also take the Arnica 30c in the Wet dose thrice daily and NOT the 6c you are taking today.

For the record I shall copy my default therapy below:

Your remedies are as follows:

Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.

You can expect relief from your ailment hopefully within 24 hours.
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.

It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.

No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.

If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall when you will experience a stomach ache which in some cases can be very acute.

You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.

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

Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol 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 every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.

Report your progress weekly.

Hello Joe,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. You are correct, I was prescribed earlier with Omeprazole & similar kind of tablets & Gelusil for temporary relief from Allopathy doctors. These were feel me better when I took them regularly & if i leave it, the problem cam back again. But with your Joepathy, I am feeling better for the past one month.

As you said, I will get the Arnica 30c & use it as wet dose. Will it give more benefits than if I take it as pillets?

Also, Could you confirm do I need to take Natphos 6x immediately after the meals or do I need to give any gap between meals & consuming the tablets. I am asking this as I heard that the homeopathy medicines should be taken lie follows:

1. Don't take anything even water for 30 mins
2. Take the remedies
3. Don't take anything even water for next 30 mins

Does this procedure hold good for Natphos. Now I am following in this way only. So I am looking out for your suggestion. Similarly for Arnica also.

Thanks again for your patience & assistance.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-07
I am glad that you recorded your case history on this thread and I hope that my chief detractor David K will read it in detail to prove that it is not only his classical homeopathy that can help you as my Joepathy not only helps but CURES a case like yours in a manner that he cannot equate with his classical therapies.

You will only aggravate your case if you use Arnica in the dry pellets. You must use the Wet dose precisely as prescribed. You may however increase the frequency of the dosage to thrice daily for a month and reduce it down to twice daily for 2 months and later reduce it down to just once nightly for life as I have done for the last 16 years. Remember to succuss the bottle before every dose.

You will take Nat Phos immediately after a meal for best effect. Although you may be using up to 4 tablets every time you should endeavour to reduce the number depending on demand which you will soon realize after every meal till your natural body functions take over and you do not have to have recourse to Nat Phos to help digest your meals.

Forget the instructions you have quoted. Abide by my guidance which is fine tuned over a period of at least 25 years of dedicated service with Joepathy.

You must exercise daily to help with your digestion and also drink at least 3 ltrs of liquids preferably water to get over your ailments.

Thank you Joe for your explanations. I have started to use the remedies as per your instructions & I will report you the update in next Monday. Thank you.

From winvik on 2011-10-14
Hello Joe, I am using the remedies as per your instructions for the past 6 days. Still some times I am feeling more heart burn. So shall I continue the same remedies for some more time. Also I normally used to have more belching for the past 6 years. Does it common for the people suffering from GERD?

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-14
I see that you have been on my default therapy for GERD since last June and you state that you still suffer from belching.

I am copying your first post below and I would like you to indicate which of these various problems have been helped by my Joepathy:

'I have seen your post in the ABC homeopathy forum , i have been having hyperacidity , with rapid pulse & insomia, kindly advise which homeopathic medcines to take. I also have anxiety & loosing weight , i am n0w 60 kg with a height of 1m80cm'

I must have a detailed analysis of your current status to enable me to help you further if I can.

From winvik on 2011-10-14
Hello Joe,

The one you have copied is not mine. I have copied my initial post here:
'I have seen your various posts regarding GERD in this forum. Actually I am suffering from GERD for the past 6.5yrs & I am 28 years old now. I have taken many medicines from allopathy, siddha & homeoptahy.

Based on your posts, now I am taking NatPhos 6x -3, 3times daily after meals. Also I am taking Arnica 6c. I am feeling better. But some times, it seems I am not getting any relief from the medicine & I am getting severe heartburn. Do i need to take any thing more. Please advise.'

Now i am putting the problems & current condition:

My problems are:
Heartburn, GERD & more belching. Some times, I had soft stools multiple times with heavy gas & bloated stomach. If I take Norfloxicin/ Loparate with light foods, it will subside in 2-3days. I am not sure will it any way related with GERD.

Before a month:
After started with your Joepathy for the past one month, I got better relief mainly with heartburn.

For past one week:
Now (as per your suggestion on remedies on last Friday), I got better relief from heartburn only. But the belching still continues.

So does these information helpful for you. Thank for your patience & assistance.

From winvik on 2011-10-14
Hello Joe, One more point, now the belching is little bit better compared to my earlier days. However I still have more belching.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-14
How many tablets of Nat Phos 6x do you take for a dose and how often?

From winvik on 2011-10-14
As you mentioned, I am taking 4tablets after meals 3times/day.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-14
It seems to me that you are not responding to Nat Phos alone.

You will add Robina Pseudacacia 3c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.

Report progress in 3 days.

From winvik on 2011-10-14
Thank you Joe, I will get that remedy & update you after using it.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-16
6c is not as potent as the 3c but it will do.

From winvik on 2011-10-16
Thank you Joe, I will update you by Wednesday after the usage of Robina 6c.

From winvik on 2011-10-19
Hello Joe,
I am now using Robina 6c in wet dose as you instructed along with Natphos & Arnica. However I am not feeling any improvement with the addition of Robina. Do I need to continue to use it for more days to get into any conclusion. Please advise.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-20
What is the consistency of your stools? Watery or formed? Smelly? How many bowel motions do you have daily?

You must have a complete test done of your stools to check for Amoebiasis.

From winvik on 2011-10-21
Hello Joe,

With respect to bowel movements, I am very inconsistent or not having any regular pattern for a while. Some days twice or even no stool at all. However for the past 1.5 months, I am better & have bowel movements at least once for most of the days.
Stools are watery only when I had more discomfort or stomach upset. Otherwise, its normal only.

I will update you about the Amoebiasis test soon. Thank you.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-21
Continue with the Nat Phos and the Robinia as prescribed and report on the Amoebiasis.

From winvik on 2011-10-22
Hello Joe,
I got the Amoebiasis test results & the lab technician said there is no Amoebiasis. Here I have just typed the content from the report:

Macroscopic Examination
------------------------
Color : Brownish Yellow
Consistancy : Semi Solid
Mucus : PRESENT

Microscopic Examination
------------------------
OVA : NIL
CYST : NIL
Bacteria : PRESENT
PUS Cells : 2-4 SEEN/HPF
RBC's : 4-6 SEEN/HPF

Please provide your suggestions.

From Joe De Livera on 2011-10-22
We will have to patiently await your progress weekly and you will continue to use the present therapy for some time.

It occurs to me that my MATCH STICK REMEDY may help you with your watery stools and I shall copy it below:

http://www.joedelivera.com/?p=236

Matchstick remedy cures Diarrhoea

I would like to share my experience in the use of the Match Stick Remedy which I have used and prescribed for a multitude of stomach problems including Diarrhoea.

It comprises lighting a match with another held in the hand which is in turn ignited and doused immediately in a glass of water. This routine is repeated twice to make the remedy more effective. The water is the remedy and can be sipped every hour till the Diarrhoea or watery stools stop.

I have prescribed this remedy to many patients and they all confirm that within a few hours their diarrhea had stopped. Some of these patients had been prescribed antibiotics and other drugs by their doctors but they had failed to arrest the diarrhea which sometimes can only be cured by total abstinence from all food and drink and the patient is put on a IV drip.

Many patients also reported that they had slept very deeply after their dose of the remedy which they had taken shortly before sleep.

The match stick remedy has invariably worked in some miraculous manner and it is my hope that
anyone who uses this simple remedy which can be used anywhere even in the most remote circumstances where you will never be out of range of a humble match stick which you can get in any part of the world, will report their findings on my Website.

Matchstick Remedy for Diarrhoea

Take 2 Matches from a matchbox and light one.
Have the second match handy in your hand and light it from the first.
Dunk it immediately into a cup of water so that it will light and extinguish itself in the water.
Repeat the same process 3 times over with 3 sets of matches for best results.

Give the patient a teaspoonful from the water every hour or every time after a bowel movement.

Hello Joe,
From your response, I hope I don't have any complicated problems with my stomach. So I will continue with my current remedies for some more time as you said.
I just read through the match stick remedy & it seems just simple & amazing. With that, I have few questions:
1.Can I prepare this as we prepare the wet dose (with 500ml water), where remedy is match sticks.
2.So it is totally 6 match sticks to be burned to prepare the remedy. Is it correct.
3.Can I leave those 6 burnt match sticks inside the water itself or do I have to remove it after some time?
4.Shall this remedy be used on all kind of diarrhoea mainly due to more gas?
5.It has to be used only in case of diarrhoea / watery stools and can it be taken any no. of times until the diarrhoea stops or is there any limit.
6. Is it completely safe and no side effects.

Thank you for your assistance & patience.

This Matchstick remedy was not invented by me and cannot therefore qualify under 'Joepathy'. It was discovered by a close friend of mine many years ago and I have used it myself and also prescribed it and can state that it does work very safely.

I used just 2 matchsticks and this requires that the quantity of water to be sipped more than just a teaspoonful. With 2 matches you can take a mouthful of the medicated water which will have a strange taste.

You do not have to keep the matchsticks in the water as this makes the water taste unpleasant.

It can be used to treat any patient suffering from Diarrhoea which you stated you also suffer from.

How this Matchstick Remedy works, I just do not know. But the great advantage is that anyone who presents Diarrhoea has salvation immediately at hand and has only to ask for a Match Box.

I discovered from some patients that the 5cm long old wooden matches are now history. The good news is that this remedy works even with when the new fangled matchstick packets in whatever presentation they are sold.

Hello Joe,
I just found a better resource about the match stick remedy. The link is as below:
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/123430/

Here I have copied the steps to prepare the remedy.
How to make this matchstick remedy?

You need a matchbox with 4 matchsticks in it.


1. Hold a matchstick near a cupful of water, burn it with other matchstick and immediately dip the burning head (make sure it is still in the process of being ignited).. As the matchstick is floating in the water, you should be able to see that complete head is not burnt but a little portion is still un-burnt. Shake the water with a spoon immediately so that some smoke is mixed into it.

2. Repeat the step number one. So now there are two partially burnt match sticks in the water.

3. Tear off a portion of the rubbing surface of the matchbox, let’s say half inch long. Put this in the same water.

4. Put the water in a one liter plastic bottle but half empty so we can shake it up vigorously. It gets difficult to shake water if bottle is almost full. Add two whole unburned whole matchsticks in the same water. Close the lid and shake the bottle vigorously for at least 50 times.

Medicine is instantly ready. Take a small spoon of water as remedy. Repeat the dose only if needed. You can remove both burned and unburned 4 matchsticks after two days and store the liquid in refrigerator to avoid the fermentation.

Kuldeep alias Girilal is Praveen Wadhwa who is an electrical engineer who was living in New Jersey about a year ago. He is like me not a qualified Homeopath but we like to use our minds in a manner that is somewhat different to other homeopaths especially the classical type who will not dare to use this form of therapy which in my case they derisively labelled 'Joepathy' which term stuck and today lists over 2100 hits on Google.

It was Praveen who reported his success with the Matchstick remedy and I have prescribed it to many patients and have also used it myself with outstanding success.

It has proved to be more effective than the standard drugs that doctors will prescribe, usually antibiotics and other equivalent drugs but this Match Stick remedy is by far more effective and very safe and it WORKS in a couple of hours when the patient who is awash in Diarrhoea discovers that the liquid output has stopped.

Hello Joe,
Here I have copied all of our previous conversations. It has been nearly a month from our last conversation.
For the past one month, I am using NatPhos6x-4/thrice a day after meals, Arnica6c-2-3 times as wet dose & Robina 6c-twice a day as wet dose.
Now I am more comfortable with respect to heart burn earlier. However the belching still continues. But instead of more heart burn earlier, now it is lessened. So please advise how to proceed.

Thank you Joe, I will update you by next Friday.

Hello Joe, My position is same as last week with respect to belching & heartburn. Please advise if any change is needed in remedies.

Hello Joe, I understand that it will take good amount of time for me to come out of this problem. So I will continue with the remedies for some more time. I believe these remedies don't have any side effect, so I can even take it for a longer period of time. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am searching through your website for the case similar to me. However I yet to find that thread. If possible, could you provide the link here. Thank you.

Hello Joe,
Heartburn & belching are same as I discussed with you last time, around 3 weeks back. Now heartburn is there but not as heavily as my earlier days. Belching is continued to be more but not with more burning sensation. I can say it is just as a plain gas expelling. Also, for the past one month, I am having problems with passing stools, ie. some days I am not passing stools at all. Please help.

Thank you Joe, I will purchase Carbo Veg 30c & update you on the status on next week.

Joe, I have a question. Do I need to give any gap while taking the remedies or can I take that at the same time for Natphos & CarboVeg. Please suggest.

Thank you Joe, I will update my status on next week.

Hello Joe, For the past 6 days, I am using CarboVeg 30c in wet dose along with the other remedies. Now I am feeling comfortable with passing stools. For these 6 days, I am daily passing stools without any problem. Thank you for your advise. So can I continue this.

I am continuing with other remedies as you prescribed along with Carbo Veg 30c: NatPhos 6x - 4tablets/3 times, Arnica 30c (wet dose) -2 times, Robinia 6c (wet dose) -2times daily. From the very next day I started using CarboVeg, I did not have constipation & passing stools daily.So I can say it is very beneficial in this regard.

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.
