Apple cider vinegar aka Braggs, cured my GERD. Used to wake up with acid in my throat n sinuses every night several times. It only takes 3-4 days to clear it up. It takes at least 6 months to make it a permanent cure though.

Z was still a scrip drug when I took the ACV cure.

And your check in the mail for $12.04 once the class action lawsuit is settled.

We got a $5.06 freebie Starkist coupon for joining that class action suit.

You are correct:

"Vitamin U, administered as raw cabbage juice to 100 patients with peptic ulcer, was apparently effective in promoting the rapid healing of uncomplicated peptic ulcers. The evidence of therapeutic benefit was;

1) the rapid relief of the symptom, pain, without the use of any set plan of symptomatic treatment, and

2) ulcer crater healing time (determined roentgenographically) considerably shorter than in groups of cases, reported in the literature, in which “standard” types of diet and drug therapy were employed.[2]

“The average crater healing time for seven of these patients who had duodenal ulcer was only 10.4 days, while the average time as reported in the literature, in 62 patients treated by standard therapy, was 37 days… The average crater healing time for six patients with gastric ulcer treated with cabbage juice was only 7.3 days, compared with 42 days, as reported in the literature, for six patients treated by standard therapy.”

I take Kroger store brand ranitidine. From now on when I take it, I’m going to think “mmm, bacon!”

No, but I tried prilosec once. It made me feel dizzy among other things. And the list of side effects even includes death if I remember right.

“the substance is found in the environment and the amount of it detected in Zantac is similar to that found in bacon, and processed meats.”,p>I am taking it for GERD. I cannot help but think this is a suck up to Islam to begin building a case against "the other white meat."

My doctor told me to stop taking prilosec because its link to causing dementia.

Saw my first ad tonight for lawyers who will sue on your behalf if you took Zantac and developed cancer.
