****************

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have suffered with heartburn since I was in my teens. I'm now 61 years

old and have taken antacids for years. About 10 years ago, my doctor recommended a

technique to curb heartburn. I thought it was ridiculous and never tried it until about

three months ago. I was in church and experienced heartburn coming on. I had to do

something. So, out of desperation, I tried the technique my doctor recommended 10 years

prior. It worked great, and I have not taken an antacid since.



I simply use both hands to press just below my sternum and continue pressing down to my

stomach for about 30 seconds, three different times. I don't know why the method works,

but it does. When I feel heartburn coming on, I begin the technique, and before I know it,

the symptoms disappear. Now I don't have to use the technique as much as I did at the

onset. I wish I had listened to my doctor 10 years ago, but I want to pass this hint along

to help others who have heartburn as badly as I did.





***************************



DEAR READER: Heartburn is a painful, burning sensation in the esophagus that usually

occurs just below the breastbone and may travel upward, causing a sour, bile taste in the

mouth. It happens mainly when the contents of the stomach flow backward into the

esophagus. Secondary causes include an excess of stomach acid or the presence of a peptic

ulcer.



At one time or another, we all experience heartburn from eating fried, fatty or spicy

foods. An over-the-counter antacid that neutralizes stomach acids is often all that is

necessary for relief. More severe cases may require physician-prescribed medications.



Most people with related conditions prefer to wear loose-fitting clothing. Your remedy

works in reverse by applying pressure to the thorax. Perhaps you are, in effect, forcing

the stomach contents back down where they belong, thus relieving the symptoms. I'm

printing your "church remedy" so others might be able to benefit from it and report back

to me. I'll accumulate and publish their findings. In the interim, I suggest you avoid

offending foods and excessive alcohol, discontinue or reduce possible smoking habits, and

allow adequate time after meals before lying down
