The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Acid reflux-throat
Hi all,After having read many posts of people being helped by some wonderful ppl on this forum; I have decided to take the plunge and seek help for my own problems.
I am 39/male and live in Hong Kong. Nearly everyone in my family suffers from acid reflucx so I am guessing its a hereditary thing. They are all on Nexium. I first started having problem with this in november of 2005 and have since then pretty much been on Nexium. I usually see great relief. But over the last year there have been 2 instances where I find it not working well and i have this heavy throat thing going on that some of you may be familiar with. the last time it happened it took about 3-4 weeks to dissapate. Its back now after many months and I was hoping to homeopathy could help.
I am a complete newbie to buying my homeopathy remedies and mixing them. I have been to a couple of homeopaths in the past with varying results, but was never told what I would be taking.
Id be happy to privodie more deatils about my physiology and other conditions if needed. I have had a nadal endoscopy done and as well as a stmach endoscopy - and they pretty much just concluded acid reflux.
I drink 2 cups of coffee and smoke about 5 cigarettes a day. I work out regularly, eat relatively healthy but have a sweet tooth and a huge appetite. I am also of slight build. I supplement with fiver daily and take the usual vitamins/antioxidant supplements.
Any help would be fantastic and I hope to get off nexium . Alternatively if any one can suggest a good naturopath/homeopath in hong Kong , that would be good too.

Pl. try Homeopathic medicine as suggested by Dr. D. Sharma and if not O.K. then perovide the following information:-
In order to get a good quality reply, you will have to give as much of the following information as you can:
Each symptom in as much detail as possible. For example, for a headache, describe the type of pain (ie sharp, dull, stabbing, pulsating etc etc)
Where each symptom is located (ie at right temples)
What first started it off (ie walking in a cold wind)
When it's worse (ie on seeing bright lights, on stepping, before period, etc)
When it feels better (ie lying down in a dark room, when warm, when cold)
Your sleep pattern and details of any recurring dreams.
What you are sensitive to (ie, heat, cold, touch, criticism, etc)
Your state of mind (fears, anxieties, attitudes, moods, etc)
Any desires or aversions for particular foods, and wether certain foods make you feel better or worse.
Details of any major diseases suffered in past.
Detals of any reactions to other medicines taken.
History of homeopathic treatment if any.
All other symptoms you have (ie watering eyes, cold feet, thirst).
If you write it as a list rather than a history of your life spanning many pages, it will be easier to read your post, so you are more likely to receive a response. The more concise you can make it, the better.
Will examine further.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I will try and write a list of things that maybe useful. In helping. Please let me know if there is anymore information I should provide.
Where each symptom: It first started in November 2005. At the time symptoms were localised to the abdomen and sides.
After being on allopathic drugs on and off for this time I had a lot of success. Then every few months I noticed it would come back and symptoms were localised to the throat area. It would last a few weeks then go away.
Like right now its sour taste, dry mouth, itching and sour taste and pain in the throat area. More on the right side.
What first started it off: Not sure - but I notice that
sometimes pasta triggeres it or coffee.
When it's worse: at night a little through out the day
When it feels better: First thing in the morning
What you are sensitive to: criticism
State of mind: anxieties
Chocolates & Icecream make me feel happy at least mentally.
Before November 2005 - I was a happy go luck person, without any of these problems, no matter what I ate or drank.
I am relatively healthy, work out frequently, and try and meditate frequently.
Over last year due to some things, I became anxious worrisome and even resentful, but I try to keep that in check.
Yoga, exercise helped with my anxiety mostly positive thinking , belief in God.
I used to drink alcohol but havent in 15 years. I also suffer from frequent headaches, was told it could be a combination of tension/migraine headaches.
I have a nasty habit of over-analysing things.
Please tell me if there is anything I can do or answer anymore questions to make my treatment more effective.
thanks in advance.

Phosphorous is a good remedy for you.But I may suggest you first take Nux Vom 200 4 Pills at bed time once and after 48 Hoyrs of it you start Phosphorous as suggested by Dr. Sharma.
