This is one of the most inspiring stories I've ever
received from a client.
Femida's suffering from acid reflux was just the beginning
of her problems. Things got progressively worse with the
purple pill and its horrid side effects.
Luckily Femida learned about how to naturally reduce the
acidity in her body and it made such a difference, even her
gastro doctor is amazed!
Here's her story:

Dear Sherry
I waited to write to you regarding my experience with your
Great Taste No Pain plan and say thank you.
Here's a little history:
Some 10 years ago:
I lost my voice and it was due to a nodule on my vocal
chords that was removed by surgery. It was benign and
removed, and was diagnosed as being caused by acid reflux.
(I am one of those who do not get heartburn symptoms.)
However, after a few months on a PPI I simply controlled
the reflux by not going to sleep for 2-3 hours after my
evening meal.
Fast forward to two years ago:
A couple of years ago, my strategy of waiting 2-3 hours
after a meal before I went to bed did not work anymore. I
started getting early morning sore throats and was put on
PPIs again. For two years I went on and off PPI's and
towards the end they were not working at all.
In addition, I recently got a diagnosis of osteoporosis in
my bones (on a bone density scan)--a side effect of PPIs.
My physician recommended another drug for this and warned
me not to bend or do anything for a few hours after taking
it, as it could burn my esophagus.
If needed she would double the PPI dose I was taking. By
now I was taking Nexium...and she wanted to double the
dose!!
This was the last straw...more medications to undo side
effects of the first medications, and some more again!
I started your 4 day trial. In just a few days I suddenly
had no sore throats, and my digestive system felt calmer.
I ordered your complete system and learnt the principles
of how to keep acid low, etc. and followed them closely.
It has been over a month now and although sometimes I miss
certain not-good-for-you, acid-forming foods, the fear of
lifelong PPI's motivates me.
I am now symptom-free and some 8 pounds lighter (although
I did not really look for that, but my clothes fall
better!).
But this was not enough for me. I wanted to be sure that
the plan was REALLY working.
MY GI doctor, although a very nice man, was somewhat
skeptical about the plan, and he wanted to ensure I was
really fine. So he recommended a 24-hour pH test in which
they monitor acid and non-acid levels (using a tube
threaded down my nose all the way to my stomach, with
sensors at all points along the way, attached to a
monitor). This was a bit uncomfortable but OK.
The results:
Today I got the results--All my levels are well within
normal ranges!
My doctor wants to know what eating plan I followed :)!
I am thrilled, and I wanted to share it with you--thank
you, Sherry!
I will recommend your plan to my friends and all those who
suffer unnecessarily.
Cheers,
Femida

SB: Wow, Femida, what a turnaround! And now that you're
off PPIs it's likely that osteoporosis won't progress any
further either. Cheers to YOU!
**********
There are a few things to point out about Femida's story:
1) The PPI (purple pill) she was given led to
osteoporosis. Here's why that happened:
PPIs "work" by stopping acid production in your stomach.
But since your stomach needs acid to digest proteins, PPIs
slow down or stop your digestion. (That's bad.)
Your stomach senses something is wrong and secretes MORE
acid to get digestion going again. But if the PPI is still
"working" it gets stopped again. (That's worse.)
This cycle can go on for hours, leaving you with a bunch
of excess acid and poorly digested food in your gut. (Uh
oh.)
Now, the acid in your digestive system doesn't stay there.
It gets absorbed into your bloodstream and wreaks havoc all
over your body. (Getting really bad now.)
But your body, in its infinite wisdom, knows your blood pH
is too acidic. So it dumps alkaline minerals into the
blood to bring the pH to where it should be. (That's good,
right?)
The body's alkaline mineral of choice is: Calcium from
your bones. (Oh, shoot!)
If this process continues for many months and years--
voila, you have osteoporosis. (WAY not good)
2) Even after the diagnosis of osteoporosis, Femida's
doctor wanted to DOUBLE her dose of Nexium! Talk about
adding fuel to the fire and having a one-track mind--drugs,
drugs, drugs.
3) It appears Femida's doctor has "seen the light."
After her symptoms disappeared and a bonafide test PROVED
her acid/alkaline levels were perfect, the doc was finally
convinced of the merits of an alkalizing diet. We can only
hope more of the medical profession follows suit.
If you suffer with acid reflux or other digestive problems
and want to get away from purple pills and their horrors, I
will help you.
By following my advice in the Great Taste No Pain manuals,
you will learn exactly what to do. I will turn you into an
expert.

It's remarkably easy. And ridiculously simple.
If you do what I tell you to do, your stomach (and your
whole body) will respond quickly. Your digestion will be
fast, with just the right amount of stomach acid--not too
much.
You'll get more of the nutrients from your foods, so
you'll stay satisfied longer. This means you won't be
hungry all the time, and will likely drop some flabola like
Femida did.
And a big perk is that you get to enjoy FANTASTIC food.
Real, delicious food. Probably many dishes that you
thought you couldn't eat anymore (including nice spicy
dishes, tomatoes and citrus fruit! I betcha you can!).
Join Femida and thousands of others that are saying
goodbye to acid reflux and other digestive problems and
pills for GOOD. See how sweet it can be by starting now:

digestive problems. Most people who have eaten a typical
