Acid Reflux/ Heartburn
Many of us struggle with acid reflux / heartburn, which is uncomfortable and unpleasant, so we turn to drugs to try and relieve the situation but they do not get to the bottom of the issue and so the problem simply returns should we fail to take our meds!
We struggle with a lot of these ailments, and indigestion is often just the tip of the ice berg. We need to build a foundation for our health.
Diet…Digest…Discard
Diet
If it does not rot or sprout we should do without! We should be eating whole foods, as close to the natural as possible.
These changes are not always easy to make as the refined foods are addictive and so taking BarleyLife®, a superfood since it is nutrient dense and full of enzymes, helps us to overcome the lack of whole foods.
Digest
When we do not eat whole foods and close to the natural, we experience bloating, diarrhea, etc. because we are enzyme deficient.
Every single function that takes place in our bodies is dependent on an enzyme… blinking, breathing, seeing, thinking…. Even digestion needs enzymes.
We are given a bank of enzymes at birth to help do all we need to plus digest our food, but we do not eat enzymes with our food, because we cook (> 118deg F kills the enzymes) and refine our foods. So our pancreas overworks , causing it to be enlarged, we are tired and bloated, etc.
BarleyLife® is a whole food that is packed with enzymes and since it is a whole food, the body knows what to do with it and within a few weeks of taking it, energy is restored and appetite often reduced since food is actually digested.
Prepzymes®, a digestive enzyme capsule, also helps with this indigestion. It has 8 cultured enzymes in it to help digest even the refined foods we eat. 1 to 2 capsules should be taken with every meal, especially if it is a cooked meal.
Discard
Enzymes help with our discarding as well! Too often we cannot discard properly since we do not have enough good bacteria in our system. These get destroyed through anti biotic use, drinking chlorinated water, alcohol…. This then sets the stage for yeast infections, candida, (yeast overgrowth) and low immunity.
Again, BarleyLife® helps to replenish those enzymes we need to keep taking in, plus FloraFood®, which is a good probiotics, friendly bacteria, which help replenish the healthy intestinal flora.
NOTE: Prepzymes and Florafood should not be taken at the same time as they negate each other.
Also, fiber is necessary to help us to discard. As an adult we should be getting at least 30grams of fiber per day, which needs to be doubled as a diabetic! Herbal FiberBlend® or Fiber Balance® are both designed to help scrub the colon clean and heal it (as the BarleyLife does as well).
So here is the bottom line:
BarleyLife is foundational and will help a lot towards acid reflux, start with 1 tsp a day for a few days, building 1 tsp at a time to 2 Tbsp a day, preferably on an empty stomach half an hour before food, but not detrimental if it is taken after food or just before, unless the food is very hot! Also good if taken in 2 or 3 lots over the day.
Prepzymes (1 to 2 with every other meal with a sip of water) and FloraFood(2 with breakfast) would help too as well as fiber (1 tsp a day (before bed or ½ hour before dinner) building up to 1 Tbsp a day).
Here is a good report… for others go to www.info2share.com/goodreports
Heartburn I spend thousands trying to find out the cause of my heartburn. Doctors put me on an expensive pill (Losec) that stops the stomach making acid which results in improper digestion and poor absorbtion of nutrients. I saw Dr Lee’s tape on Natural Progesterone and he explained that these heartburn medications cause one to get Osteoporosis as one does not absorb calcium etc. From that day on I started taking Prepzymes instead and watch what I eat. How wonderful it is to be drug free again and knowing that the Prepzymes are also doing a lot of good for many other reasons as well. We need these enzymes for thousands of chemical reactions in the body.
