The patient was anxious and bothered while waiting for a straightforward answer from her doctor who was quietly fumbling through some files on his drawer. She tried to hide what she felt although the look on her face and her body movements gave away her true sentiments of that exact moment. Another minute of waiting seemed like forever. The lady felt like a second opinion would surely help. She bravely posed the same question again, “Doc, so just how do I cure my GERD?”


Picture yourself in the patient’s shoes? Isn’t it just stressful to know that you’ve got a health condition and wanting to find out the best possible solution for it?

You spend a considerable sum of money for all those tests – from that basic blood sample to a whole abdominal ultrasound and finally an endoscopy examination, ruling all possible digestive disorders, and ending up to discover that you have Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (shall we just call it GERD?).

GERD or acid reflux, depending on its case and severity, can be very much debilitating and can greatly reduce your quality of life — if you do not take immediate measures and get necessary treatment.

So does treatment have to equate with taking all those prescriptive medication from your medical expert and following all his advice? To one extent, it is good to follow your physician’s “well sought for” recommendations — and that’s what most doctors often do. Sometimes it’s best to follow your doctor’s advice.

And sometimes it helps better if you consider that there are better alternatives .. That is, if you keep your eyes open and know where to look, especially when the opportunity presents itself.

The lady folded her arms impatiently yet nervously, and called her doctor’s attention again, “Doc, I really don’t want to have this condition for the rest of my life. That’s why I came to you to know if you can help me cure my GERD. Can’t you give me anything that would relieve my acid reflux and heartburn problems?”

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief as he closed his drawer and looked at his patient, “I’ve finally found what I was looking for”, and gave the young lady a small white card with a website address on it. “These good people provided me with the cure to a condition such as yours. I know their system works.”

“How can you say that?” The patient asked, eagerly looking for assurance.

The doctor gently relaxed himself into his chair and smiled, “Because not too long ago, I was once in your shoes.”
