The easiest thing to do when it comes to health problems
is to blame genetics. It takes no effort at all.
"Yeah, my grandfather had a bad stomach, my dad has a bad
stomach, so it's no surprise that I do too. It's in my
genes--I can't help it."
Yes, it's true that genetic dispositions do run in families.
And it's also probably true that, genetics aside, your
grandfather eats foods/food combinations that cause
problems, your dad does the same thing, and if you're
having health problems, no doubt you're following suit.
But once in a VERY great while people ARE born with a
defect that can cause pain, poor digestion or heartburn, to
name a few.
Want to hear something really exciting?
Even the people who are born with genetic defects can
become pain-free and symptom-free by eating for an alkaline
pH.
Cindy is living proof.
See what she says:
*******************
Dear Sherry,
I was born with acid reflux. Everyone in my family on my
mother's side has acid reflux due to a genetic disease. No
getting around it.
I suffered until I was thirty seven. After the birth of
my first child, I could not take it anymore and went to a
gastroenterologist.
Unlike other people's experience he was very good. I was
born without a flap between the esophagus and stomach. He
was shocked that I had survived without choking to death
since birth.
He said that I would need surgery (called a
fundoplication) to make a flap--No way was I going to have
surgery.
Needless to say he told me nutritionally to stay away from
all high fat like ice cream, also no sodas, tomato sauce,
and so on. It was very strict, but I was addicted to junk
food and sweets and could not follow it.
He also put me on a prescription medicine (Prilosec). He
warned me that the medicine was not a license to eat
whatever I wanted--if I did there would be serious
consequences.
Well, I didn't listen because for the first time I was
able to eat anything I wanted, so I thought there would be
no consequences. WRONG!!!
Here I am now 50 with a hiatal hernia, and have had to
have my esophagus dilated twice so I won't choke when I
eat.
I have pain in my chest and throat, constipation, even
with medication. I can't sleep without being propped up
and still have reflux, I've gained weight...it's bad.
And I might add this all happened even though I've changed
my diet and am eating healthier--no junk food, drinking
water, no soda, eating fish, I couldn't figure out what my
problem was.
A light bulb went off. My family suffers with a
mitochondrial disorder and we get metabolic acidosis all
the time. My doctor said to test my PH--I did and I was
dangerously acidic. My kidneys weren't doing very well
either.
I hurried up and downloaded your trial offer for 4 days.
It worked!!!! Alkaline is the trick and combining the
right foods and drinking alkaline water.
I believe it was divine providence that I found your
program. Now I can help the rest of my family. I still am
taking Protonix just once a day down from 2 times.
Eventually I know I will be weaned off.
Just a little note: I am very suspicious of everything so
after I was on your plan for 3 days and felt great, my
husband made BROWNIES--my favorite. I thought let's just
see if this plan really works and besides I wanted some
brownies.
Well immediately after eating some and I mean immediately
I started cramping, major reflux, diarrhea, vomiting. Even
drinking additional alkaline water made no difference. I
was crying and crying. It lasted 48 hours!
I called your office and ordered your entire program and
told the person at your office what happened--she
sympathized and said that can happen. Never again will I
go through that. I am a believer for life.
Thank you.
Cindy

SB: Cindy, Wow. It's no surprise that, even with your
esophagus, eating this way has helped so much.
BTW, you'll see when your GTNP system arrives that there
are guidelines for eating desserts without pain...so it's
pretty likely that, once your body cleanses itself and
heals, eventually you WILL be able to have a beloved
brownie once in a while and not suffer for it.

Now how about YOU?
Are you hiding behind the "it runs in my family, so I
can't help it" excuse?
Are you blaming bad luck or bad genes for medical problems?
I have some advice: STOP right now. "Yeah, but..." will
not help you. It hurts you. It might end up killing you.
Take responsibility for your health.
I come from a family full of people with high blood
pressure and excess weight. But my blood pressure is 90/55
and I weigh 115. I refuse to live behind excuses.
Choose to refuse, too.
When you accept that what you put in your mouth has a
direct effect on your entire state of health, that's when
you can finally start to feel better.
The great news is eating for great health doesn't have to
be tasteless or boring.
You'll see just how easy and delicious being HEALTHY can
be.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia

Sherry,
Thank you!
I came across your site while researching the side effects
of a medication my doctor wanted me to take for my IBS. I
ordered your plan right away and I am so happy that I did!
I have lived for years with poor eating habits, weight
gain, weight loss, IBS, acid reflux, sour stomach and
indigestion.
It got so bad at points that I would rather not eat
ANYTHING than to feel the way I did after I ate!
The great news is that I have been combining my foods as
you suggested for the last 5 days and I feel wonderful and
healthy!
No need for IBS medication, no need for Tums and no need
for Pepcid AC.
I have recommended you to my mother who also suffers from
digestive problems.
