The following is an unsolicited testimony on the efficacy of the Young's pH Miracle Living Plan.
Dear Dr. P.,
You know I had to quit my heavy weight
training back in 2000, because I tore (I think), or maybe just exacerbated, a Hiatal Hernia (Mom's family all have it as they get older).
The result of the Hiatal Hernia is moderate to severe Acid Reflux.
My doctor NEVER told me to lose weight, he just put me on Nexium. It was terrifically expensive, so he changed me to Prevaid.
It was only slightly less ridiculously expensive.
When Prilosec OTC went on sale over-the-counter, I stopped the prescription brands and went to Prilosec OTC. On principle alone, three dollars a pill is an insult.
I dropped my weight (my idea), because I knew it would relieve some of the Acid Reflux Symptoms, such as esophageal scarring and bronchial spasms. I was not only having difficulty swallowing, but with breathing in spite of all of the medication.
THEN... I read that ALL of the Proton Pump Inhibitors, such as Prilosec, Nexium, et al, had been shown to drastically interfere with Calcium uptake, with resultant increases in bone fractures, even in men. This was TERRIBLE news, because I was "barely making it" even with the high powered medications, Benedryl, and a host of other medications.
So, I went to the only alternatives left, the Zantac varieties (histamine-2 blockers not Proton Pump Inhibitors). They are sold OTC, and if they worked it would at least reduce the bone decalcification that had been shown with the Proton-Inhibitor. Zantac 150 (the highest dosage available) worked, but not as well as the Proton Pump Inhibitors. I continued to lose weight and drastically cut coffee, cokes...
anything that introduced additional acid in my diet.
My condition continued to worsen. It got to the point that almost every day was shear agony, with heartburn, bloating, waking up at night with crisis management trying to breath, and hoping not to aspirate acid splash-back. Lots of people die from night time aspiration of acid splash back!!
I KNOW THIS IS A HORROR STORY, BUT STAY WITH ME......
I had decided that I would have to have surgery to repair the Hiatal Hernia, to get any relief, and was dreading it. I was, however, getting concerned about esophageal cancer, which is a known danger of uncontrolled Acid Reflux.
I had gotten to where I was taking one Zantac 75 capsule at bedtime and another before breakfast.
That was "somewhat" controlling my symptoms.
Occasionally, I had to add another Zantac 75 mid-afternoon depending on how much I ate.
Volume of food I ate seemed to be as important as the kind of food. But with the weight loss and controlling what I ate, I had gotten my Zantac medication demand down to 225 Mg.
(3 - 75 Mg. capsules) per day.
Then YOU, my friend, got me started on the Young's pH Miracle Alkaline diet, and I started drinking my home-brew of Alkaline Water, trying my best to imitate pH Miracle Water.
After a couple of weeks my heartburn symptom had come totally under control, although I was still taking the Zantac medication, but down to 2 capsules per day...
one in the morning and one at night.
I began to wonder if it might be possible to reduce, or eliminate the Zantac, if I managed the pH Miracle Alkaline diet and my imitation of pH Miracle Water regime correctly. WITH GREAT TREPIDATION, I began what I expect, at best, to be a long weaning-off process with the Zantac.
So, I eliminated the morning, before-breakfast Zantac 75, figuring if my symptoms flared up, I could add it back the capsule at Noon. Well, Noon came and went, with no increased heartburn. So I continued to drink the Alkaline Water and moved on to mid-afternoon.
No additional heartburn, so I skipped the afternoon Zantac 75. Bedtime came, and I figured hey... give it a shot. So, I did not take my bedtime Zantac 75.
No real problems. Morning came... no Zantac then either.
To make a long story shorter, I have been off of ANY medication for Acid Reflux for 10 days now with no recurrence of symptoms!
I have also dropped my Allergy Medicines in the middle of the worse Pollen Season on record here in the Southeastern part of the U. S.
I am just shocked, beyond belief. HAPPY.... EXHILARANT...
but shocked!
I did go though a couple of days of "discomfort" with bloating, etc., as my body adjusted to being more Alkaline, and as the gastric cells in the stomach adjusted to the lack of medication, but now I am virtually normal.
No heartburn, no bloating, no difficulty breathing, no acid reflux. I get to sleep the whole night through, and don't have any digestive distress symptoms at all.
THAT'S A REAL pH MIRACLE... I can hopefully forget about the Hiatal Surgery procedure, and quit worrying about calcium loss and bone fractures.... just staying on the pH Miracle Living Alkaline Diet and drinking the pH Miracle Alkaline water!
You're the Man!
You found the Young's pH Miracle Living Program, and continued to harp on it until you made the point.
Thanks!
