It is funny the way in which the simplest of things can make a dramatic change in your life. I used to suffer with lots of acid reflux and heartburn. Often it felt as though I had a pile in my chest that was aflame.
Obviously I had gone through the medical route and had been prescribed the usual concoction of antacid capsules and liquids and proton pump inhibitors. I had approximately $20 worth of medication on my shelf ready to use.
Then as I was skimming the internet I stumbled upon the alkaline nature of lemons. To me this sounded ridiculous ; lemons are acidic and could not possibly help. What I discovered was that lemons leave behind an alkaline residue in the body that his highly useful to those subjected to angina and acid reflux.
So I started filling up a jug of water and added sliced, fresh, unwaxed lemons to the water to infuse during the day. This I drank during the day together with lemon juice in hot water during the evenings.
The first thing that I spotted was how refreshed I felt first thing in the morning if I drank this fresh lemon water first thing, instead of my usual coffee or tea. At night, especially in hot water, it was also much more relaxing as an end of day drink. I spotted my heartburn started to ease, the pain in my chest started to ease and my stomach sometimes started to feel miles better. Obviously there were other participatory elements including cutting down on tea and coffee and making other diet changes ; yet the refreshing and healing effect of lemon water was extraordinary.
I did tell the consultant doctor about lemon juice and its alkalising effect on the body ; she hadn’t got any idea and just assumed that lemons were acidic : as did I.
So now I continue to have my medications on the shelf ; all untouched. I no longer take anything. Obviously one must go to their own medical professional first before stopping prescribed medications and one should get advice before making any major dietary change ; For me though I have stopped purchasing antacids and stomach medication and now buy bags of fresh, unwaxed lemons.
Nature is a very remarkable thing ; it has available all that one could ever need for a healthful way of life.
