Natural Approaches to Managing Barrett's Esophagus

I just wanted to let you know that taking 2 oz. (or so) of Aloe Vera before meals really helps coat one's esophagus and throat. If you have esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus caused by GERD, this is for you.

Before Thanksgiving, my esophagus was getting worse by the day. My chest was sensitive to touch, and I was getting a tickling cough. After only a week of taking aloe vera gel, my cough is gone and the burning in my esophagus is going down. My chest still feels sensitive, but not like before.

I also think aloe vera helps acid reflux, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on this or any other GERD/esophagitis treatment? Let me know at [email protected]. Also, if anyone knows how to get FRESH aloe vera gel, PLEASE e-mail me as it would be very helpful.

Often most diseases are simply an issue that the body is due to pathogens, vitamin and mineral imbalances, or pH imbalances. I make sure whenever I get sick from an unknown causes, I must correct all the imbalances.

Mineral imbalances can be corrected by just taking 1/4 teaspoon of dead sea salts or any good sea sea salt to on liter of water as a normal drinking water. Sea salt is unusual in that it has trace minerals that is not found in our food. So this is why they are so important. Maybe drinking more of this (as they done a century ago) can help with a great many conditions.

Sometimes buffer is the issue. Then take ACV but with sufficient buffers. Often for adult dosages ACV 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to 1/2 glass of warm water, taken twice a day, one in the morning and once in evening on empty stomach should help correc the buffer imbalances.

Pathogens are the cause of lowered immunity and as a result, taking licorice extract, glycine, selenium, garlic, zinc acetate (50 mg/day), magnesium chloride, 250 mg/day and some good electrolyte salts packs they sell in drugs store (sometimes called hydration salts)will correct the potassium and sodium imbalances.

The most important nutritional imbalances I have found associated with GERDS or Barrett's Symptoms is an imbalances or deficiency in vitamin B complex. So taking vitamin B complex, where B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B8 at 100 mg. each, except for B12 at 100 mcg, for example taken 3 times a day is often seem quite helpful. All these are just an attempt to correct nutritional imbalances. Additional Bs can be taken from Brewer's Yeast (B13) and royal jelly (high in B5).

Barrett's Symptoms seem to be more in line with supplement more on selenium, zinc, garlic, magnesium, B5, B8, and silicon (from oatmeals) then most GERDS and have more to do with the rebuilding of cellular structure, electrolytic correction then most GERDS. The other issue is the importance of vitamin C, especially sodium ascorbate, about 250 mg./day. Most simple reflux are usually best handled just taking any kind of buffer solution where you take twice a day. Such as 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water once in morning and evening. It will correct most pH imbalances needed.

If parasites is the cause of the Barrett's symptom, then a simple 10 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide with only 1/8 teaspoon of borax to 1/2 glass of water sipping slowly over about 30 minutes. If relief is not obtained within an hour or so, then parasites (or nanoparasites) is not the issue.

If you are doing the right thing, it won't take weeks, or months, or years to get to notice improvement. It takes only hours. SO just keep an eye to the ball and see what is making it worse, but especially what is making you better. The list that I prepared is where you should start as being a good candidates to get improved health, by dietary supplements of course, not a treatment of medical conditions. Correcting imbalances of course might make you feel better, but I have seen people get cured so often that sometimes imbalance may be at issue here. As an example, of someone being cured of acid reflux, I have to look no further than my own mother, who was cured after 3 days of my own intensive research to cure her. It was serious since she COULD NOT SWALLOW ANY FOOD FOR THREE STRAIGHT DAYS.

Even water she could not drink. By a stroke of luck, I have bought frozen royal jelly before, and being very rich in Vitamin B5, I gave her 1 teaspoon and within minutes I noticed an improvement. She was permanently cured from that one teaspoon and the acid reflux never came back. It was triggered when she ate sea food, so pathogen were the issue but somehow the B5 rich frozen royal jelly did the trick. My home might have B5, but at 100 mg. it was hardly enough.

I also have a friend who had acid reflux, but it was bought about from a medicine allergy. Again, back to the old drawing board, and she was cured within 30 minutes after taking magnesium chloride. For her condition it was a magnesium deficiency triggered by a drug allergy. Sometimes drug allergy will often trigger across the board vitamin B deficiency. This is why brewer's yeast is used, it also have B13, but you can't find that in drug stores! Neither will you get B17, which is found in apricot seeds. So changing your diets is not even treatment, it is changing your habits to get a broad spectrum of nutrition to achieve a balance, holistically anyway. I have another friend of mind, also from acid reflux and she lives in Cholburi, Thailand. I told her about sea salt, sodium thiosulfate (6-12 drops in one glass of water), and some fulvic acid. It was gone in one day. And to think, she spent years finding the cure! I guess she was looking at the wrong place. For her condition it was a simple mineral imbalance.

I can list all the acid reflux I have seen, but whatever the name, you may call it, it is either pathogens, mineral imbalances, vitamins, electrolytes, or the pH. Should correcting imbalances don't work then you should consider what "conventional medicine" calls treatment

Well, much to the doctors surprise that after evaluating this chronic disease for over 5 years, it was completely gone. The only thing I can contribute it to is the oil since nothing else has changed in his diet. I was jumping off the walls for him. Now to get that arthritis!
