considering temporary alternative, knowing if i place the order it will take time to get here.

take care joe!

Hi there I wonder if you can help me. When I was young I did suffer with acidity and when I was about 17 years old I went for a barium meal which didn't show anything up. Last year 2010 I did notice that I was having to have some gaviscon but nothing serious. I do suffer with hayfever (grass pollen) from June to August generally. Well it started in May 2010 with a cough, I was due to go on holiday in June so went to get it checked out by the doctor as I have had pneumonia in the past and didn't want it to get any worse. The doctor said it could have been the onset of my hayfever starting. Well this annoying silly cough continued for 9 months, it wasn't untill one of my beauty clients mentioned her friend was diagnosed with acid reflux due to her cough that I went back to the doctors. Forgot to say that in December epecially New Year I was particularly poorly, couldn't breathe properly coughing all the time it was horrendous. My husband has private cover for all the family so in March I went to see a consultant who asked me to go for a endoscopy in April , I have completely freaked myself out reading things on the internet looking at pictures of Barratts etc. I went for the endoscopy to be left with my notes and photos I looked at the photos and saw the redness associated with cell change. Scared me to death I came home crying thinking the worse etc. I am still today awaiting my results, I am on omeprazole and just this week have suffered with a sore throat so they have prescribed me to take domperidone 3 times a day too. I have my bed elevated at the head about 4 inches and two pillows, I sleep ok, but do wake early. Before I went to see the consultant I was suffering dreadfully with a weird sensation under my right rib (which felt like a rock) they checked me for gallstones but apparently this is clear, my bowel was really gassy and I had constipation. I have recently set up my own business so I know the majority is due to stress/anxiety.

At the moment I don't have any other symptoms other than a sore throat every day, I can swallow but does feel strange, I'm eating okay, drink loads of water and have cut my green tea down as I am addicted to that, I also drink the odd mug of rooibos tea. I am very scared that its in my throat and mouth it scares me.

When I saw the consultant he didn't seem to worried, but hasn't told me if I have Barratts yet although the photos did seem to show this. I am to have my ph levels monitored soon with a tube up my nose and down my throat for 24 hours. Should I stick to the omeprazole until I know what is happening?

If I have Barratts I am so scared that this will get worse.

Any advice would be grateful, thank you.

I shall copy my default therapy aka 'Joepathy' to help your Gastric problem which I have copied on this thread before. Please read it in detail and if you have any questions feel free to ask them.

In the meanwhile I would recommend that you STOP taking the PPI drugs that you are taking today and they are doing you more harm than good.


It is very likely that you are suffering from Gastritis aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux disease) and I shall copy the therapy I have prescribed to hundreds of patients who presented GERD, the large majority of whom have been cured.

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.

Please visit the links below which record the cases of other patients whom I have treated for GERD.

STOP using all other drugs and report progress in a week.

Thanks for much for the quick reply. Would you be able to explain what the medication the doctor has prescribed actually does as they haven't explained and how can it make things worse.

Its hard to decide what to do as the specialist has prescribed them and has been studying Barratts for 20 years, sorry to sound so sceptical.

I don't like taking medication and would rather go the natural route. But should I not wait until my results are through?

Thank you again

I did not notice till after I had posted that you seem extremely worried and fear the worst in your Esophagus with Barrets which I do not think you will be faced with right now as it involves C-ncer which may have hit you later on in life. You have not indicated how old you are and presume that you are around 35 years old. This is what you stated:

'When I saw the consultant he didn't seem to worried, but hasn't told me if I have Barratts yet although the photos did seem to show this. I am to have my ph levels monitored soon with a tube up my nose and down my throat for 24 hours. Should I stick to the omeprazole until I know what is happening?

If I have Barratts I am so scared that this will get worse. '

Big Pharma and those doctors who are brainwashed into believing that GERD can only be cured by PPI drugs (Omeprazole) are living in a world of their own where they are paid and even bribed to prescribe these PPI drugs which are calculated to relieve the patient's GERD temporarily with the need for ever increasing dosage and the results in a patient's life are absolutely miserable as there does not seem to be an end of their problem. Every meal is another traumatic experience after it and this goes on and on as you are obviously only too well aware.

My Joepathy has helped many hundreds perhaps many unknown thousands of fellow patients and hopefully you too will be helped and cured. Remember however that 'Rome was not build in a day' and it may take some time before you are well enough to be off the remedies that I have prescribed but the great advantage of your using my therapy is that it cannot do you any harm. Instead you should notice that the Nat Phos will relieve your problem within the hour and you may take up to 6 tablets safely immediately after a meal. I recommend however that you start with just 3.

Report progress as often as you wish to keep me advised of your response to my Joepathy.

Let me put it to you this way.

What benefit do you gain from doing the Barrett's test which your doctor has recommended right now ? Sticking tubes down your nose into your stomach purely for experimental purposes is not what I would like to do even at my advanced age of 82 years.

Your specialist may have specialized in Barrett's for a lifetime but the therapy that he will prescribe is surgery and this will most likely be fatal. Medication with PPI drugs is what they are brainwashed to use as many of them are bribed by Big Pharma to prescribe them. Incidentally check 'Danger of using PPI drugs on Google' to know what havoc they can do to the patient.

I am not trying to frighten you but I just wish to save you from any serious consequences by jumping the gun now that you have got my therapy that has helped many patients with GERD.
Use my therapy for a week and if you feel that it is not helping you, go ahead with the tubes into your stomach.

Please note that you must STOP all the drugs that your Barrett's expert will prescribe as they will antidote my therapy.

Hi Thank you for that although a bit scary to be honest.
I only have sore throat and clearing my throat Which is very frustrating.

The procedure is only to test my ph levels so quite safe and if he says that everything is fine he won't need do surgery I think that's for extreme cases to be honest.

I will read more on your remedies and maybe wait for my results to see what they show.

Its a bit alarming to never ever drink alcohol my son is 21 and another 18 this year. So no alcohol at all, I don't drink a lot but the odd glass of wine surely is okay. I have read lots of things on the internet not to eat tomatoes, spicy food, certain fruits and then other sites say dont eat fruit. My specialist has said I can eat and drink anything I like if on medication

I really want to get better and not to make matters worse so any advice is welcome.

I will the doctors now to see if his secretary has emailed the results through. Not impressed to be honest went private and still havent got the results. he is away on holiday

I will keep you informed, thank you Joe

Hiya forget to say I am 47 years old. to be honest this has been a big kick up the bum as I wasn't eating very healthily no fruit at all. As I was setting up my business and time just flies I was eating biscuit, cakes anything convenient to get me through the day.

I have now changed my diet thank goodness, although I did notice after drinking a few glasses of schloer with my friend on Saturday my sore throat had come back this week.

Glad I was able to help you with my therapy, even though you have so far only stopped alcohol.

Keep me advised as you progress.

Hi Joe I have just been the doctors for my results and I have been told I have short segment Barrett's and that I must have had GERD for quite sometime. Although I never had any symptoms just the odd bit of acid indigestion which after gaviscon disappeared. I am very shocked by this to be honest I am only 47 and need to obviously watch my diet now etc. I just went to see the doctor and she has said that some of her clients have noticed a difference after stopping all grains, crikey was my reply what on earth am I supposed to eat.

The GP was very helpful and quite understand my need for natural products instead of a lifetime of medication.

I have got to go for the 24 hr Ambulatory pH oesophagus monitoring on the 25th this is check the ph levels and also to see why the acid is refluxing so much.

After I have had all this I will then decide which natural products to use. Where can I purchase the products you recommend?

You can order the remedies from the ABC Homeopathy store listed on every page on this forum.

Hi Joe thanks for all your wonderful information, I am trying to purchase the Nat Phos 6x but don't seem to be able to do it through you as I live in the UK. Do you know of any other source? Also some weblinks say 4 tablets 2-3 times a day are there different strengths?
Have also seen that some are in granule form.
Please advise best place to purchase this and the arnica thank you.

I am copying 4 names of suppliers in the UK.

Hello Joe
Thank You! i got the Nat Phos 6X 2 weeks after my order. Im from Leyte, Philippines. Although the freight and handling cost 400X more than the remedy but its all worth the cost. I took the Nat Phos for 4 days and ive never been relieved and feeling normal for several months until now. what i experienced had caused anxiety even now i 'fear' of gasping for breath in the wee hours that oxygen cant help. but im ok though.
My father who is 80 years old now will also try the Nat Phos. He is scared of taking PPI knowing he is a health buff and prefers natural and herbal ways. I think i got my hyper acidity from him if its hereditary.

My utmost gratitude! God bless!

To Jully

Glad to note that Nat Phos 6x has helped your problem.

I note however that you have not mentioned about taking Arnica 30c in the Wet dose which is an integral part of my therapy for GERD.

The Nat Phos works by accelerating the passage of food from the stomach down the gut and the Arnica 30c is designed to help heal the Esophagus which is usually eroded in chronic cases like yours and your dad's.

It seems such a pity that the medical profession will only prescribe the dangerous PPI drugs as they do not seem to have any equivalent.

I have tried to convince some doctors to use my therapy but failed as they are all brainwashed into believing that only drugs can cure.

I have proved otherwise.

Hi Joe,

I was diagnosed with H pylori and took omeprazole and prevpac (for 2 weeks) and now I do not have stomach pain.

But I have some other symptoms.
My symptoms are very little burping in the morning when I wake up, going to stools 3 times a day (normal soft stools) , gases after having lunch and dinner. When I went to doctor, he said I am having acidity and prescribed esomeprazole.

Also I usually eat medium spicy food. Now I am not able to eat medium spicy food.

From the previous posts, I noticed that NAT phos 6X helped many people.

Can you please advice me on this?

I note that you have posted your problem on another thread which I have already replied on:
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/25315/6

You are only wasting my time in duplicating your post as it does not serve any purpose and takes up my time unnecessarily. You must remember that the service that we provide free of charge should not be abused.

Hello Joe,

Sorry for the confusion. I do not see your reply on the other thread. Actually I wanted to post my problem on only one thread. As I cannot see the reply on the other thread, can you please reply on this thread. I am extremely Sorry for wasting your time

I saw your reply in the other thread. Sorry again for the confusion. Thanks for your advice.

Hi Joe,
First I'd like to thank you for helping so many regain their health.
8 years ago I had acid reflux which really inflamed my vocal chords really bad.
Since then I have done:
-Allergy testing;
-Stool testing;
-Hydrocolon Therapy;
-Acupuncture;
-Chiropractice;
-Naturopathy;
-Severely changed my diet over the years (only eat, fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, and legumes and plaing yogurt, for 95% of my diet).
-I've done barium swallow x-ray
-Gastroendoscopy
-And none of these tests could prove anything.

Until this day however, it is still my quest and hope that one day I will find a cure to my problem which is inflamed vocal cords.

The only thing that improves the situation is not eating for long periods of time or not sleeping (staying erect).
It is as if the acid creeps up my esophagus and bathes my vocal cords every night. But I even tried putting my bed on a 45 degree angle for months and that didn't help either. I've done a dozen cleansing fasts and that hasn't helped either.
My vocal cords are still inflamed. I am otherwise really healthy with no other symptoms to share.

Would Nat Mur 6x be a good idea for me as well?
Because my meals are really simple, and small and I chew thoroughly so I'm scared that if Nat Mur causes the food to go quickly through my body then I will go into nutritional debt.

Please share with me your thoughts and recommendations and God bless you.

Sandra

Sandra

I can sense the trauma that you have been suffering for the last 8 years which hopefully I can succeed in eliminating.

You have referred to Nat Mur 6x for your problem which is obviously a chronic case of GERD and the remedies are Nat PHOS 6x and Arnica 30c as prescribed below:

Nat Phos 6x dose 4 tablets taken after each of 3 meals for a week and reduced to 3 tablets thrice daily in the second week and perhaps 2 tablets in the third week when hopefully you will feel OK.

Arnica 30c in the Wet dose must also be taken thrice daily in the first week and twice daily for the second which can be continued till I advice otherwise. Arnica will help to restore the inner lining of your Esophagus and throat which are obviously badly eroded by the acid.

I shall copy my default therapy for GERD which will give you more information on my therapy aka 'Joepathy'



It is very likely that you are suffering from Gastritis aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux disease) and I shall copy the therapy I have prescribed to hundreds of patients who presented GERD, the large majority of whom have been cured.

Your remedies are as follows:

Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 3 meals

'8 years ago I had acid reflux which really inflamed my vocal chords really bad.'

It occurs to me that you will benefit by gargling with Arnica 30c in the Wet dose which you will make as per the instructions above just before bed to enable the remedy to remain in your throat mucosa to hasten your cure.

You will gargle with about a tablespoonful of Arnica thrice daily as this I feel, should hasten your cure.

Thanks you so much for your prompt response Joe as well as your detailed therapy.
I will start today and follow your therapy word for word and report back in 3 days.
Have a nice weekend!
S.

Hi Joe,
Just a quick update.
I have been taking 4 tablets of Natrum Phos 6x after every meal as well as one capfull of the Arnica preparation 3 times dails as well as gargling with Arnica preparation once or twice a day.
I know it may be too soon to tell and I will surely continue until you think it's necessary.

So far I have felt no improvements, on the other hand, I feel as though it has become worse. Whereas in the past I would not feel reflux coming up, now the food comes back up sometimes.
What does that mean? Should I continue or should I stop?

Since Homeopathy is a healing science of mind body and spirit (as I understand) I think it is important for me to share this with you so that you have a better idea of me.

I was severely abused and tortured physically as a child all the way up until I was 18 by my mom who is bipolar and schizophrenic. The physical and emotional scars never go away because I'm always trying to make things work with my mom, I have been searching for love from my mom, and it was never there. I have a lot of trauma, bad memories and feelings within me. A lot of sorrow that has been kept in. And we always lived in remote areas with no friends or relatives so I could never share my pain with anyone.

Sorry to share this burden upon you. I just thought it would be important in order to aid you in a more complete prescription.

Loving greetings,
Sandra
