GERD - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Today I am posting my response to a letter I received from a grateful client. She attended a presentation on Shaka Vansya Ayurved last October in Sechlet and acted upon a suggestion I made. Dear Friends of Shaka Vansya Ayurved, I would like to report one success from the “Smart Water” recipe that I sent to everyone. It was someone who suffered for 5-6 years with GERD - Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disorder. This is a disease of the digestive tract where the acid in the stomach does not continue on its path to the intestine and get neutralized but instead comes back up the esophagus. Sometimes we call it “heart burn” and in severe cases it can start to burn the lining of the esophagus or more. The usual treatment is with drugs called PPI’s or Proton Pump Inhibitors which work on the stomach to reduce the production of acid. Here is her story of gratitude. *************************************************************************************************** Dear Elizabeth,
