Acid Reflux--More information

I decided to write a follow up to our acid reflux post because it is the most popular post that we have had.  We have seen so many people throughout the years in practice who had a complete resolution of acid reflux, I just can't understand why more people aren't trying the strategies discussed in our first post.  One of the reasons I thought were that people TRY things out rather than following through and DOING them.

The difference between trying and doing is immense.  Principle 6 in the chiropractic principles of healing is that everything takes time.  It takes time for problems to manifest and it also takes time for problems to heal.  From what we see in our practice it is very rare that a person with acid reflux can't heal...it's just that some people aren't willing to give their body time to replenish and heal.

Another reason that we find that is common is that people pick and choose which method they want to do and if it doesn't work then try the next one while dropping the first one.  In our practice we treat people as a whole unit. Sometimes a particular therapy doesn't alleviate a patient's symptoms but we don't necessarily give up on it...we add the next layer to the equation.  Some people may need to do all the protocols at the same time and stick to them long enough before results can occur.  I'll bullet point the best approaches below and read through our other posts to get the details.

• Get to a great chiropractor that understands the relationship between stress on the nervous system and how it can lead to acid reflux.  Ask your chiropractor if they can describe the relationship to you.  If they can't then find someone who can.
• Find a way to release tension a stress from your jaw...hopefully with a doctor familiar with Applied Kinesiology
• Supplement with zinc
• Food Combining ( read our post )
• Find the right digestive enzyme for you!  Start with one that includes Betaine Hydrochloride.
• Eat Food!  ( again read the post )

These are all strategies that will get you healthier and in turn your body will heal whatever ails you...yes even acid reflux!
