Hello, I’m Ron Jamieson.
Off and on, I have had acid reflux, GERD, heartburn – whatever you want to call it – for more than 40 years, during which time I have had a variety of doctors look at me, had numerous endoscopies, a variety of medications, and tried a lot of natural remedies and diets, including hypnotherapy.
However, no matter how much or little relief drugs give me from this condition, I have been endeavoring to find a natural way of controlling my acid reflux, rather than relying on drugs. This website considers many of these remedies, and possible causes of this condition, in an ongoing experiment to answer the question “How to get rid of acid reflux”. This website is written from the point of view of a patient’s alternative perspective.
I am NOT a physician, and nothing in this website should be construed as medical advice. If you are at all concerned about your condition, you should seek a qualified professional medical opinion as soon as possible.

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Kidney Digestive Diseases, sixty million people experience heartburn at least once a month and twenty five million experience symptoms daily. That’s a lot of people.
As a result, an industry has grown up around finding relief and even a cure for the condition. But much of that industry is devoted to easing the dollars/pounds/euros (substitute your own currency) out of your hands in exchange for, at best, dubious advice, and at worst dangerous and addictive drugs.
I don’t know about you, but I’m fed up with stumbling across “miracle cure” websites that promise to reveal how to get rid of acid reflux with only 3 (substitute your own number) common household ingredients in 3 (substitute your own timeframe) days. Websites that involve long, repetitive, videos, or interminable “squeeze” pages that require lots of scrolling down, “delighted” customer testimonials, and “buy now before the price goes up” statements.
Have you bought any of these products? If so it would be great if you could share your experience here.
Find Out How To Get Rid of Acid Reflux
I should say straight away that there appears to be no “miracle cure” for acid reflux. From what I have read, what works for one person may not work for another, but the more knowledge we can accumulate and share, the better the chance of finding relief for each one of us.
