Heartburn or Acid Riflux Treatment
Cure your heartburn
What is Heartburn?
Heartburn or pyrosis is a painful or burning sensation in the esophagus, just below the breastbone caused by regurgitation of gastric acid. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck , throat , or angle of the jaw . Heartburn is also identified as one of the causes of chronic cough , and may even mimic asthma .
Heartburn actually has nothing to do with the heart ; it is so called because of a burning sensation of the breastbone, although some heart problems have a similar sensation to heartburn.
Pathophysiology
The sensation of heartburn is caused by exposure of the lower esophagus to the acidic contents of the stomach . Normally, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) separating the stomach from the esophagus is supposed to contract to prevent this situation. If the sphincter relaxes for any reason (as normally occurs during swallowing), stomach contents, mixed with gastric acid , can return into the esophagus. This return is also known as reflux , and may progress to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) if it occurs frequently. Peristalsis , the rhythmic wave of muscular contraction in the esophagus, normally moves food down and past the LES and is responsible for ultimately clearing refluxed stomach contents. In addition, gastric acid can be neutralized by buffers present in saliva .
Causes
Foods that may cause heartburn:
- Alcohol , especially Red wine.
- Coffee , tea , cola , and other caffeinated beverages
- Sodas (including cola), and other carbonated beverages
- Chocolate
- Citrus fruits and juices
- Tomatoes and tomato sauces
- Spicy foods
- Red Pepper
- Peppermint and spearmint
- Dry foods such as peanuts
- Fatty foods such as ice cream
It can also be psychosomatic, primarily in relation to stress.

Some User Comments
I think I've been cured! I started back to eating regular food last week. I haven't had a lot of tomato sauce like with spaghetti or anything, but I've had no irritation or bloating (except when I had red beans and sausage earlier this week). Definitely the most worthwhile money I've ever spent. Thank you.

Last October, after months of taking six ibuprofen tablets a day (at my doctor's orders), my esophagus became severely "burned", resulting in some pretty intense heartburn/reflux symptoms. I tried various antacids (which induced 24 hours of diarrhea), and finally persuaded my doctor to prescribe "the purple pill" but nothing seemed to make much difference.
One Sunday afternoon I found your website. I read the testimonials, and almost paid the fee . . . but I was afraid it was some kind of rip-off deal and changed my mind. Later, feeling miserable with the heartburn, I decided to take the chance and bought the e-book.
I read it immediately as soon as I'd downloaded it and it seemed so simple but it made so much sense. I immediately began following your instructions and felt better within three days! So much better that, when my "purple pill" samples ran out, I told my doctor I didn't think I needed them anymore.
Well, that was over four months ago and I have been heartburn-free ever since! I constantly follow your advice and I am amazed: I'm back to normal. I can even eat foods that formerly had upset me quite a bit (like Mexican food--in moderation, of course!).
I'm so glad I took the plunge and purchased your information. You have saved me many times the purchase price of your e-book in my not having to buy antacids or "purple pills". And I feel way better than those things ever made me feel. As I said, I'm back to normal, with no acid reflux symptoms whatsoever.
Just wanted to say a heartfelt "Thanks!"

I just wanted to let you know that I am already feeling the benefits of changing my diet to reduce the acid in my stomach. The more careful I am in following the guidelines provided the better I feel.
Just wanted you to know that I am very appreciative of the common sense information that physicians don't offer. You have helped me go from being in a panic mode, to feeling that I can make a difference in turning this situation around and begin healing my esophagus and my stomach.
Thanks so much!!!

As promised I am writing to let you know that thanks to your advice I am feeling a 100% better!
At first I thought the remedy was too simple, but I realized that as I made the suggested changes in my diet, etc., did that thing every night I began to feel better.
As a result of reading your book I have also started taking bee pollen, in addition you prompted me to start taking a better look and care of what I eat so that I can be healthy overall. I was experiencing side effects from my medication for acid reflux and I prayed and ask God to heal me and He did, by leading me to your site and your solution was natural, that's what I needed!
May God bless your business and I pray that you will continue to place people first as you have shown (it's a rare quality to find).
Thanks sooo much!
