Q & A archive—Acid Reflux

Question: I went to the dentist for a filling. He asked me if I had heart burn or acid reflux. I told him I thought I had something like that. He said that that was affecting my teeth in a way that my enamel was wearing off and cavities formed. Can you give me something for heartburn and acid reflux?

Answer: Acid reflux is caused by an inflammation of the stomach over a long period of time due to the ingestion of improper and poorly nourishing foods. These foods are generally the sugar foods and the refined flour foods and the classification of foods that I call “junk foods.” To overcome this problem you must first clean up your diet. I would suggest you start by reading my book “Letters to my Patients,” which will teach you what to eat and what not to eat. Specifically, after correcting the diet, go to a good Health Food Store and get some good pancreatic enzymes that contains some Betaine HCL. While at the store, get some Milk Free Acidophilus capsules and some Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Chewable Tablets—called DGL chewable tablets.

Follow these directions faithfully: Chew thoroughly and then swallow two of the DGL tablets about 20 minutes before each meal, so that the Licorice will have a chance to coat the esophagus and the stomach. Immediately before each meal, take one Acidophilus capsule. Take two of the enzyme capsules while you are eating your meal. Do this with each meal for about six weeks to two months and your Gastric Reflux will be a thing of the past and your general health will be much improved.

Remember, the basis to getting well and staying well is correcting your diet and then living by it from now on. All the supplements in the world will not get rid of the problem is you continue to abuse your body with worthless junk foods. Good luck.
