How I Cured My GERD/Acid Reflux

Back in 2007, I was rushed to the ER of Medical City as we thought I was having a heart attack. I couldn't breathe, my limbs were numb, my face felt a tingling sensation, and I looked pale. Thank heavens it was only heartburn and not a heart attack! Apparently, heartburn was a symptom of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) which I was diagnosed with.

GERD is more commonly known as acid reflux. The heartburn sensation occurs when acid from the stomach goes back up to the esophagus. Although it is a tummy problem, it is called heartburn because the pain radiates from the breastbone and the symptoms are very similar to those of other heart problems.

I managed my GERD by modifying my eating habits and regularly taking over-the-counter medicines like antacids and proton pump inhibitors (e.g. Kremil S, Omeprazole, and Nexium). Since I couldn't completely change my food choices and be totally stress-free, the heartburn episodes recurred sporadically (I learned this word from Alicia Silverstone's movie Clueless! Ha-ha!) It was so annoying because having GERD could really change your lifestyle. My doctor told me to give up coffee which I couldn't! I told her that it was a psychological necessity and so she gave me a "disapproving approval" to limit coffee consumption to one cup a day. 

In 2012, I came across a tv program that was promoting an alternative approach to treating various illnesses. They were recommending people to take alkaline as a means to removing toxins from the body. They said that toxins were inevitable and were the culprits to many health problems. That triggered me to learn more about alkaline. I discovered that the topic of alkaline was already prevalent in health forums.

I wanted to try it out because I no longer wanted to be dependent on medications that could compromise my liver. My dad and I went to visit the main office of Planas Alkaline. A nice lady welcomed us in and asked if we were going to buy alkaline. I only intended to buy a few but was informed that if I reach a certain amount, I could already become a distributor. I decided to meet the quota since it was not that big anyway. 

Now back to the product... I took 2 capsules dissolved in a glass of water before breakfast for 2 straight weeks. I immediately felt its effect on my acid reflux problem. The rancid taste I usually experienced because of stomach acidity went away! It even helped my visits to the toilet become swifter.

To ensure that the symptoms of GERD don't come back, I just take one capsule each day. I must admit that I sometimes forget to take it everyday. It's probably because I don't feel any symptoms of acidity anymore. To date, I have never had an episode of heartburn again! I really guarantee its effectiveness. My sister who also experienced hyperacidity can also vouch for its potency.

It claims to treat other illnesses but I personally cannot attest to that. I can only certify for its effectiveness on curing acid reflux and hyperacidity because I am a living testimony to that. I suggest you try it, too. It is safe, affordable, and locally made. Let's support Filipino products!

I found an article on the website about Mr. Planas and his natural alkaline. This will give you more information about the product. Click me
