Link: http://www.montereyherald.com/ci_11651955?source=rss Dear Dr. Gott: I have been on Prilosec for my acid indigestion. It works. Recently, my daughter called me and told me that in India they have you eat a banana as a treatment for GERD and that I should try it. The next day. I put a chopped up banana in my breakfast cereal. To my surprise, it worked. Since I have started this, I have had no indigestion and have not had to take my Prilosec. I don't know why or how it works, but it does. Please pass this on to your readers. ------------------- Dear Reader: Done. Like you, I have no idea why this would work but am curious to know whether it works for others. So, readers, if you suffer from gastro-esophageal reflux disease or frequent heartburn and indigestion, please give this remedy a try and let me know what your results were. It is certainly novel, not to mention tasty, but if it works, it could also save a fair amount of money (which is important in these ever-worsening economic times). Bananas are much cheaper and healthful than are medications. Thanks for sharing and I will be sure to print a follow-up in the future when I have received plenty of responses. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report "Hiatal Hernia, Acid Reflux and Indigestion." Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title. Write to Dr. Gott c/o United Media, 200 Madison Ave., 4th fl., New York, N.Y. 10016 |
