Good luck at the interview, it's true that most of that stuff really causes more harm than good, and all it usually does it make the problem go away, not fix the problem. You really should supplement all this mess with some natural remidies. I've gotten good results from many of 'Dr. Walt's' ideas, and none of them hurt to try. He's recommended a number of good books that I just need to be motivated enough to keep working on. He suggests a ginger root juice for GERD.
I dunno, cheaper than the ER, and what do you have to lose? I'd have tried it back when I had bad reflux. Cutting out more citric juices (Lemonade especially) and soda (Mostly the caffinated stuff), ended up working out for me on that problem. The books he mentions are on Amazon, I haven't bought anything except one book on stress reduction he recommended. I know its probably just a pitch for the book, but give it a try, who knows? Better than the surgery that my friend had.
Oooo.. Read it, and it sounds very, very interesting.. I wonder if ginger tea or ginger capsules work? I don't currently have a juicer, but hell-- I might be willing to invest in one, given the disruptivness of my symptoms and the money I've already spent that's amounted to next to no relief.
Yea, unless you have an obvious injury from external source (Injury, virus), from what I've seen doctors are usually clueless and can do just as much harm as good. Comon, $900 for a diagnosis of GERD, whatever, you know how it goes. I've spent about the same (Sure throgh my insurance but still around $1500 out of pocket) for next to no relief too. Everything that has given me any relief was over the counter, natural or from a book.
For these seemingly no-cause health complaints that everyone has, I'm generally under the belief there's a cause and solution that medicine or surgery will not be able to fix. Except most of the time it seems people will dump tons of cash on the worthless solutions and time on the possibly good ones. Thats what America does, throw money at the problem to fix it.
Oh well, I'll probably try that ginger root too now that I read about it, as I have those symptoms occasionally too.
