Your Stomach: What is Really Making You Miserable and What to Do About It (Praktikos Health) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Waking up doctors and individuals to the importance of stomach acid and the foolishness of using antacids is well worth five stars.
Dr. Jonathan Wright is one of the top dozen or so brilliant MDs helping to educate doctors and people while providing excellent medical care for his patients. His lectures and presentations are usually full of extremely valuable information.
Unfortunately this book waffles around for the first twenty pages talking about conventional thought promoting antacids as a cure for GERD or acid reflux. It isn't until about page twenty when Dr. Wright finally starts to discuss some of the important scientific concepts (and he never gets technical). Another 19 pages convey some useful information (for the majority of people that weren't aware of this already).
As another reviewer pointed out, only 39 pages of this book is actual discussion of the topic, the rest is supporting references. I don't have a problem with this book being short (it can literally be read in just a few minutes).
I had hoped this would be a good medical reference book to add to my shelf of great books. Unfortunately there is very little solid information in this book. If you understand the basic concept that most people with stomach issues (including acid reflux) actually suffer from low stomach acid, not too much stomach acid, and you understand that consuming antacids only gives temporary relief while causing more long term issues, then there is no reason to purchase this book.
I'm truly disappointed by this book as I consider Dr. Jonathan Wright to be one of the best colleagues in our fight against incompetent medical care. (I never hesitate to refer clients to him for care.)

Most Americans suffer stomach problems. Many lead lives of utter misery. Whether you call it heartburn or acid reflux, this painful affliction is also associated with throat cancer. Shockingly, the problem may not be too much stomach acid, but too little! And antacids and acid blockers may actually be making the problem worse. This powerful little book offers solid scientific information about one of the most common and distressing ailments in America. There is also fascinating information about little-used all-natural supplements.

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye: A Do-It-Yourself Mouth Care System for Healthy, Clean Gums and Teeth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ellie Phillips, DDS has written a book detailing the dental care regimen she recommends for her patients. Contrary to the eye catching title, she is not suggesting people stop seeing their dentist, but rather proposes a more preventative approach to keep dental problems to a minimum.
Her focus is on a series of rinses that adjust the mouth's chemistry, creating a healthier environment to facilitate the destruction of bad bacteria that cause plaque on teeth and contribute to gum disease, and encourage the growth of good bacteria that help bolster the natural rebuilding capabilities of our teeth.
Dr. Phillips explains why, although faithfully brushing and flossing, individuals may still have serious dental problems, but what is particularly helpful is her clear and non-technical explanations regarding why our current methods aren't working and why this system has good results. The book is actually interesting to read. There is a wealth of information for both adults and children along with some revealing material on the effect bleaching has on tooth health.
Trying the Dr. Phillips' system is not difficult or time consuming. The products are all available over the counter and on the internet with most being moderately priced. I am a cautious person and do not try every new fad that comes along, particularly when it comes to medical matters. I was interested in this book because I want to keep my teeth, not harm them. Dr. Phillips has been using this system for many years in her practice with success. What I read in her book makes sense to me, so I have started the program. It has been two weeks and entirely too soon to be reporting on my progress, but I can say my mouth has never felt cleaner.
I am not a dental professional or a chemist, and I haven't been using the system long enough to provide definitive proof of results, so this review isn't an endorsement of the Dr. Phillips process. That said, I am impressed enough to encourage anyone else interested in the subject matter, to read the book. I read it in one sitting and learned a great deal about teeth and gums. That information alone is valuable to me and made the book worth my time.

Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Maalox, Tagamet, Prilosec & Other Acid Blockers: What to Use to Relieve Acid Reflux, Heartburn, and Gastric Ailments Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Truly a blessing! Now I finally understand why I have heartburn - it isn't a deficiency of Prilosec that's for sure. Had I known sooner, I could have solved the real problem and spared myself not only a lot of expense but also have avoided the side effects of the drug. Contains lots of helpful health and nutrition advice too. Easy read. Because it lists so many scientific studies, I'm giving this book to my doctor who was as frustrated as I was.

Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband has had chronic GERD for years without knowing it. He started having symptoms that didn't make sense around last January. He was short of breath, cleared his throat a lot, had nausea and an upset stomach, and finally passed out in the middle of the night. I found him unconscious on the bathroom floor. After months of tests his GI doctor diagnosed him with Barrett's syndrome, a precancerous condition of the esophagus, but he couldn't explain the respiratory involvement. Worse yet, the only solutions offered were very invasive - surgery to remove the abnormal cells or light therapy with not the best chance of success. We needed a second opinion and we found Dr. Koufman. She ran different tests that tracked his acid level during an entire day of activities, including while eating, sleeping, coughing, everything. My husband had an enormous amount of acid and was refluxing all the way up to his larynx. The standard course of treatment from the GI doctor included a one-a-day medication that did not last the full 24 hours for my husband, so since he took it in the morning, it stopped working while he was sleeping,in the worst position for reflux to again attack the esophagus that was trying to heal all day.
Within a couple of days of meeting Dr. Koufman, my husband was on the strict phase of the diet. It wasn't easy since he was previously working in the wine trade and had to completely stop drinking wine, coffee, pretty much everything except water, milk, aloe juice and camomile tea. She also changed his medications to better control the condition over 24 hours. Within about 3 weeks, he started feeling noticeably better. After a couple of months, he went back for more tests and his condition had improved dramatically. This all happened before the book was published and when it came out he was so excited by the recipes. What a difference it has made to be able to enjoy gourmet-style food after months of just obeying a list of forbidden foods. Now his condition has almost completely reversed, he has lost 35 pounds, and he is able to start adding things back in, like Gala apples.
Although a life-threatening disease is never a good thing, this experience has changed life for our entire family. Dr. Koufman's care and now her invaluable book have not only turned around my husband's condition and allowed him to take charge of his health, but the delicious recipes have allowed him to enjoy food again without feeling like he is stuck with a life-sentence of bland.

Stops Acid Reflux, 8 fl oz (237 ml) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is miraculous!! The positive reviews on their Caleeb Treeze website are 100% true!! I purchased this to ease the suffering of a close family member who has heartburn regularly for several years and during this year's holiday season, she has just been miserable several times a day/night since Christmas with painful acid reflux. She's bought every over the counter product on the market including Tums, Prilosec and they only provide moderate or no relief. Prior to this, the only acid reflux product that has helped her is a prescription strength medication that costs about $500 for a three-month supply and even that does not provide such quick relief.
Tonight, she was desperate so she shook the bottle that arrived this afternoon, poured a tablespoon into a quarter of a glass of water and swallowed it and in less than a minute... INSTANT RELIEF!!! We are going to recommend it to everyone we know who suffers from occasional or frequent heartburn or acid reflux!!
Quick shipping. Made of certified organic ingredients, salt and gluten free and bottled in a leakproof, attractive, unbreakable plastic bottle that is in a size small enough to carry in a bag or travel with; there are no cons!!
This is also supposed to relieve leg cramps; no one in our home has that issue except once in a blue moon but after seeing the instant relief it provided to my family member after days of painful suffering and other over-the-counter heartburn meds fail including Prilosec, I don't doubt that this would ease leg cramps too.
********************************************************************
UPDATE: Feb 2011: My husband had bad heartburn after a long trip across the globe and strange, spicy food. He took some of this product after his usual over the counter stuff didn't help and he also experienced instant relief. I'm so glad I keep one of these in our medicine cabinet at all times. Definitely worth re-ordering and they make great gifts for friends or family with heartburn/acid reflux!! I promise they'll thank you for it...

Warren Laboratories - George's Aloe, 1 Gallon liquid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had Inflammatory Bowel Disease since I was 14, now I am 21. I have tried many diffrent types of remedies, with only descent results at best. I had suguery at 17 and it removed a lot of the problems. But ever since surgery, I have still suffered from diarrhea and constipation. I have only taken George's aloe for about two weeks, and it seems to have drastically improved both. For anyone who has any kind of digestive problem, I would really give it a try.
