30-year acid reflux sufferer is pain-free in 24 hours
Hello my friend:
I get a LOT of questions about whether certain "acid"
foods should be eaten, especially by people with acid
reflux, ulcers, hiatal hernia or gastritis.
So it's clear that there is a very common misunderstanding
about what an acid food really is.
The question isn't whether or not a food is itself acidic--
it's whether or not the food is acid forming to the body.
Two totally different things.
For example: Lemons are an acid fruit.
That means if you took a fresh lemon into a lab and tested
it, it would test acidic. However, once they've been
metabolized (digested and absorbed) by the body, lemons are
alkaline.
Same goes for tomatoes.
I can't tell you how many people have told me they can't
eat tomatoes because they're too acidy.
Wrong.
Like lemons, tomatoes are alkaline to the body.
The acidy feeling that people get from fresh lemon juice
or tomatoes is not from the juice or tomato itself--it's
from eating them either along with or after poorly combined
foods that create excess acid in the stomach.
The lemon juice or tomatoes take the blame, but really the
problem is the disastrous combination of food rotting in
your gut as the stomach is secreting acid over and over
trying to digest it.
Here are a few more commonly misunderstood foods:
Dairy products:
To this day, I know people who drink milk to soothe or
coat their acidy stomach. That's like trying to put out a
fire by dumping kerosene on it.
Dairy products are some of the most acid forming foods in
existence. Some dairy products may test as alkaline in a
lab, but in the body, they're an acid nightmare.
Coffee:
Whether you take it black, with cream and sugar, in a
cappuccino or latte, on an empty stomach or full, coffee is
highly acid forming. Anyone telling you otherwise is
trying to sell you coffee or owns Starbucks stock.
Whole grain breads:
While they have more nutritious value that white bread,
like most breads they are acid forming--not alkaline. Bad
news for the bagel or bialy lovers of the world.
The Great Taste No Pain guide "Foods That Create Acid,
Foods That Take It Away" spells out which foods are acid
forming in the body and which are alkaline. It also
teaches you the diseases caused by an acid pH, and tells
you what acid/alkaline ratio you should strive for in your
foods.
Eating mainly foods that are alkaline-rich and correctly
combining your meals to minimize stomach acid will get you
on the road to an alkaline pH, great health (and very
likely a longer life).

PS: Here are two success stories I received this morning:
*******************
Hi Sherry,
I have been using your system for the past three weeks,
and I feel great. No bloatedness or acid and your recipes
are very tasty. I can't believe that I can eat almost
anything I like as long as I combine the foods properly.
I have lost 3 kilos (6 1/2 pounds). Before I couldn't
lose any, although I am a very healthy eater. This is like
a miracle.
I'd like to thank you for all your hard work which I have
the privilege in sharing your knowledge.
Good luck for the future and happy eating!!!
Yours sincerely,
Sue Lee

Sherry:
I was online to see if there was a better medication
available for my reflux and all associated problems and
found your website.
I have been trouble-free since the first 24 hours on your
program. I have been treated for reflux for over 30 years
and this is the first time I am pain-free.
