The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Joe... please help
Started having really fast heartbeat and blood pressure spike. Felt like something was sitting on my chest. Diarrhea. Excessive vomiting. Extreme heartburn and reflux. Lots of gas but all trapped inside... constant need to burp but inability to do so. Could breathe but had to actually concentrate to do so... not like usual, where it just comes naturally. Went to the ER because I thought I was dying. They said panic attacks. They put me on Vistaril, which I was taking as recommended but everything got worse and worse and now I'm in a constant state of pain. I went back to the Dr. and had an ultrasound performed to rule out gallstones, as my Dr. said she had that same sort of pain with gall bladder attack. The test came back negative for gall stones. Then I started getting some more symptoms. My throat started to feel swollen at times and I was having difficulty swallowing. When I would wake up in the morning I would have a very sore throat which sometimes would last about half the day. I called back to the Dr.'s office and she said it sounded more like acid reflux so she sent me in for a barium swallow. The test results came back and I was told that I have some pretty severe acid reflux going on. They put me on 80 mg Nexium per day (one tablet in the morning and one at night). I was feeling relief for a few days, but I also wasn't really eating either. Then I started to eat again and once I did that, I started to get tremendous pain again within a day's time. This has been almost constant for the past 2.5 weeks. It all started suddenly and I had had no complications before except for heartburn and the occasional bout of sore throat upon awakening. My question is.. what in the world can I do? My main problem is that I just want to be able to feel like I can breathe normally again.brook1 on 2006-08-03
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You are obviously in serious pain and discomfort due to your GERD which has eroded the delicate lining of your Esophagus and your throat which is why you cannot swallow easily.
The remedy is Nat Phos 6x and you will take 4 tablets 3 times daily immediately after meals which should be light and easily digestible.
You will also use Arnica 30c in the wet dose which is made by inserting 3 pellets of the remedy into a 500ml bottle of spring water which you will shake hard every time before you sip a teaspoonful 3 times daily.
Stop all other drugs you may be taking today.
Do not drink more than a sip of water immediately after a meal but dring all you want about half hour before and ensure that you increase you intake of liquids except coffee and bottled beverages and alcohol and sweets.
Do not sleep for about 2 hours after dinner to prevent the food leaking up into your esophagus for a few weeks on this therapy.
I must admit that I am amazed that doctors do not have any drug other than Nexium and equivalents like Protonix, Prilosec etc to help the patient like Nat Phos 6x can do in a few minutes, as you will discover after you take your first dose.
I must also admit that I am even more amazed at the many classical homeopaths including those pseudo homeopaths who have criticized me in the recent past for my own direct manner of helping the patient which some have termed 'Joepathy' which according to them can only lead to more problems for the patient. You will be a good example of whether or not my therapy works.

Alright. I'm going to go tomorrow and see if I can find some of that stuff. And hopefully I can because I'm at the point where I will try absolutely anything.
I tried drinking stupid Apple Cider Vinegar today. Big mistake. I have never in my whole entire life had such pain and heartburn and it made me absolutely ill. I immediately started vomiting. The sad thing is, my heartburn was not all that bad before I drank it. It was just kind of... there. I was just trying to get rid of the chest pressure. And everyone told me it would work. Oh well. What do they know?
I am tempted to go out tonight and see if I can find that other stuff. If I knew I could, I'd go right now. I'll definitely let you know how it goes. Should this start working right away or will it take a while?

I presume that you did not know that Apple cider VINEGAR is another form of dilute Acetic Acid which could only exacerbate your GERD. I am glad to note that you vomited at least some part of this acid out.
You should experience blessed relief within 15 minutes after you take your first dose of 4 tablets Nat Phos 6x and your cure should perhaps take about 3-6 months when it is possible that you will not need the tablets any more.
This will of course depend on the intensity of the erosion of your esophagus and also the LES (lower esophagal sphincter) which is obviously eroded and does not provide the one way valve effect any more.
You may like to know that the 6x potency is the equivalent of 1/1millionth of Natrum Phosphoricum which is Dibasic Sodium Phosphate. It always amazes me how homeopathic potencies can possibly work but one ceases to wonder after seeing tangible proof of a remedy helping a patient who has been subjected to the horrors of modern medicine as you have suffered in the recent past. I do not deny that medicine can help in other spheres but in certain cases there is no question that Homeopathy can help the patient far better than drugs can.
You are best advised to take the Arnica for life as I have done myself for the last 11 years.

I knew ACV was acid, but I just figured I'd try it since everyone I know that has really bad heartburn, etc. takes it and they all say it works like a charm for them. I didn't drink a lot of it and when I posted my last post I was still feeling really sick from it but, oddly enough, I'm not really feeling any symptoms right now and actually feel better than I have in days. I was reading on some website that said it should be the organic form with the mother that you drink and it should be diluted. It still makes no sense to me, though.
I live in a pretty rural area and it will surprise me if I can find the Nat Phos anywhere. I checked the GNC website and they don't even have it listed on there so I'm about 100% positive I won't be able to find it in the store. Other than that, there are no health food stores or anything like that. The only thing would be if I were able to find it at Rite Aid or another pharmacy. If I can't find it there, I am out of luck. :( I suppose I will order online if I can't get it in a store.

also... is arnica montana the same thing as arnica 30c? Because that's the only thing listed on the GNC website and I'm afraid I'll have trouble finding it as well.

Your response to the ACV is interesting and I too have heard that this helps with GERD.
I would like you to do the following experiment. Insert just 10 drops of the ACV into a 500ml bottle of spring water and shake the bottle hard to ensure bubbling of the liquid and take a teaspoonful 4 - 6 times daily. You can do this till you get the Nat Phos which you may have to order from the ABC or other source and you may have to get about 250gm of the remedy as you will be using it for some time.
Arnica Montana is the official title of Arnica.
Please report your response to the ACV homeopathically diluted to be a remedy.

This site has instructions on making the Nat Phos using Soda Phos which you may be able to get where you live. You will only use 3 drops of this chemical and it is reputed to have the same effect as the homeopathic remedy.
I copy it below:

Natrum Phosphoricum
Currently I am using homemade Natrum Phosphoricum. It works excellent.
Phospho-soda (or any brand name containing Sodium Phosphate) is available as non prescription on all pharmacies for just $3 or 4
I use the one available at Wal-Mart stores ÔFleet Phospho-sodaÕ below is the link.
http://phosphosoda.com/consumers/products/phosphosoda.aspx
I add about 3 drops of it in the Mineral water and Naturm Phos (approximately) 3 to 4 X is ready.
To obtain 6X one can put about 5 drops in one liter water or just use common sense. 3X also works best.
