First, heartburn has nothing to do with your heart. This is called heartburn, because people who suffer from it feel pain or a burning sensation that is close to the heart. If you regularly experience heartburn, chances are you have already moved on to what is known in medical terminology as “Acid Reflux.”
Acid Reflux is defined by "patients who experience this two or more bouts of heartburn a week." I'm sure you wonder why acid reflux is dangerous for my general health?
Your stomach has a mucus lining that protects it from the acid it produces to help you digest your food. Your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not have the same protection.
FOREST is a valve located in the upper part of the stomach that opens when food enters and then is supposed to close tightly after this and does not allow digestion of food, acid or other digestive juices back to your esophagus.
Thus, when the acid comes into contact with it, it weakens with time, and its ability to close tightly is extremely reduced. This will lead to an increase in attacks of acid reflux, as well as pain associated with these attacks.
When the acid is then in contact with the esophagus, which is a tube that extends from the back of the throat to your stomach through which the food passes. Your esophagus also has no protection against acid, and it develops an ulcer and rises when acid contacts it.
The more often this happens, these ulcers and ups multiply as well as increase in size, which, of course, leads to pain when you suffer from each of these attacks.
If heartburn, acid reflux or GERD are not treated, it can ever lead to Barrett's esophagus, remedial surgery, surgery to completely remove the esophagus, or in the worst case, cancer, which of course is a life-threatening condition.
Because the vast majority of these symptoms are self-inflicted, patients can easily heal themselves by following all the natural treatment programs that have been proven to stop the pain immediately, permanently and safely. In addition, as soon as the pain stops, the healing of your FOREST and esophagus can begin. When you are ready to stop the pain, all knowledge should do it right at your fingertips.
