Heartburn No More – Cure Acid Reflux Holistically!
You’re about to discover what might be the most powerful heartburn system ever developed. It’s the same system thousands of people, just like you, used to permanently cure their acid reflux and achieve permanent freedom from all digestive disorders.
My name is Jeff Martin and over the past 11 years, through a long process of trial, error and experimentation, I have developed a sure-fire, 100% guaranteed, clinically researched system that is backed by 35,000+ hours of nutritional expertise for eliminating acid reflux for good. This is a very rare, highly unique and potently powerful acid reflux healing system, which very few people even know exists…
If you would like to learn how to cure your heartburn permanently… without drugs, without antacids, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read. I guarantee it and I’ve got the results to prove it!
There are thousands of heartburn programs and dozens of people claiming to be experts. However, very few of these so-called “acid reflux experts” practice what they preach or have the credentials to back up their claims. Since you’re probably wondering how this program is different, here’s the whole story:
I’ve been involved in the alternative health industry as a medical researcher, health consultant, certified nutritionist and freelance writer for nearly 17 years. I’m also the author and co-author of several best selling alternative health books and dozens of articles. Holistic health is my life – it’s all I’ve ever done.
A few years ago, I was just where you are. I battled with chronic Acid Reflux, Heartburn, Hiatal Hernia, Esophageal Reflux and Gastritis for more than a decade. I have experienced all the painful and relentless symptoms associated with acid reflux: Such as burning sensations, constant pain and burping, bloating and gas, occasional trips to the doctor and taking myriad of prescription medications and over the counters that showed little to no results.
After I was diagnosed G.E.R.D (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) and was specifically told by several doctors that there wasn’t a cure for my condition, I started down the long, frustrating road of trial and error until I have finally pieced together a complete and comprehensive holistic system used by thousands of heartburn sufferers (including myself) to permanently cure the cause of heartburn, including myself.
From the age of 41 I became obsessed with the subjects of holistic health and nutrition. I wanted to know everything there was to know on how to cure acid reflux and digestive disorders and prevent these conditions permanently – I’ve been absolutely consumed by this quest. So I started studying – and hard! I bought every book on gastrointestinal health, detoxing, dieting, and nutrition that I could get my hands on.
I used to spend hours at the library swallowing stacks of books, journals and magazines about holistic health, acid reflux, barret esophagus, heartburn, Candida Albicans and nutrition and reading every word. I have literally read hundreds of medicine books from cover to cover. My library quickly grew to over 320 health and nutrition books and I had read every word almost to the point of memorizing them.
But I didn’t just read. I interviewed countless of other G.E.R.D sufferers and endlessly picked the brains of every doctor, herbalist, homeopath and naturopath kind enough to lend me minutes of their time and fragments of their expertise and knowledge only to find a solid solution to my chronic acid reflux condition.
It took a lot of research to get to where I am today. To know exactly what works and what doesn’t. Yes, after desperate trail and error, countless numbers of useless treatments, disappointments and agony a simple holistic system opened the door to my new and much brighter heartburn free life. I was also excited to see that my bloating had diminished, and so did my irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, and sore back. After years of suffering I was finally free from acid reflux!
I also started testing my system on other heartburn sufferers besides me and it yield the same shocking and groundbreaking results. In less than a 3 weeks on average 17 out of 17 people participating in my experiment had completely got rid of their heartburn.
What’s even more exciting is that it worked on all levels of heartburn severity.
So now I took the time, tweaked and refined the system to completion to ensure it will yield the most remarkable long-lasting results. And the best news is… It’s now available for you to try it!
Sri Lanka and Its Gems
Sri Lanka has long been known for its richness in gems. Since a lot has been said about the famous rubies and sapphires, we would like to offer some insight into the ‘new’ varieties that lately entered the gem market mainly via the Internet. With regard to the fact that these stones are widely bought based on photos, I have also added some remarks on how these less popular varieties behave in front of the camera. Spinel: Spinel come in a vast variety of colors, but are not as confusing as the garnet family. The most famous colors in spinel are blue and red, but one will find fine purple, violet, pink, mauve, greenish, or black spinel. They also come with stars and color changes but have not yet gained much attention. What dignifies all spinel is their excellent luster and durability for jewelry. The king amongst blue spinel is a rare variety colored not by iron but by cobalt. This cobalt spinel is found only occasionally in Sri Lanka (and elsewhere). In the red hues, ruby-like colored spinel has sky rocketed in price and popularity, directly followed by hot pink and padparadscha colors. It appears that in recent years spinel has made it from a sometimes hardly distinguishable, sapphire-substitute to a variety standing on its own. Thus, they do not come cheap anymore. Even our remotest miners have started to distinguish spinel as better than other ‘non-sapphire-gems’ and thus have started to ask much higher prices. However, they are still a comparatively reasonable alternative to ruby or blue sapphire. The less known varieties of spinel (purple, mauve, etc.) offer not only superb visual experiences but are most likely also a good investments in the long run. Like sapphire, spinel are quite photogenic. They do not deceive in color or luster and are a grateful object for exquisite images. As all gems, they are sensitive with inclusions in the lighter tones only. Pyrope: Pyrope is typically described as blood or wine-red, while this name refers to the Greek word for “fire”. Though pyrope does not have what one calls “fire” in a diamond it is definitely as red as it gets. How red is that? In case you are familiar with Spanish wine you might have a look at a Senior de Los Lamos ’67, which will cost you much more than buying a pyrope, but tastes better (pyrope does not). You might also take blood samples from your neighbor’s ox, but that too might not be a particular wise course. It is said that once upon a time pyrope has been more popular and much higher priced. Today pyrope is, behind the almandine, the best deal if one wants a red-red gem of significant size without selling his family. In photos, pyrope typically shows blackish areas and little luster on photos. Their color gets across well, but they usually tend to show more orange or brown than they actually have. Darker pyropes simply refuse to be photographed yet look good in person. They are a fine color-bargain to hunt for. Hessonite: Hessonite is always clearly distinguishable. See a hessonite through a lens and he will appear to be melting inside, while you can not see anything special without the lens. Melting? Some gemologists call it a “treacly” or ‘swirly’ appearance, which comes from inclusions that actually look like a petrified fluid. Hessonite is a wonderful stone in all yellow-orange to brown-red hues. Though not in line with the standard scientific gemology literature, hessonite is currently found in Sri Lanka in all red garnet colors from a fiery orange to a, simply, traffic light red. In any event, they make exquisite colored gemstones and are a true miracle when seen under the lens. Although hessonite is wonderful to look at in person, they struggle with serious problems in front of the camera. Unfortunately ‘treacly’ transfers on a photo to ‘fuzzy’. One needs to experience a hessonite live to be able to capture the information hidden in a photo. As a rule, concentrate on the color and ignore the fuzziness of the photo. If you like the color you will have to test the luster in person. Almandine: Almandine is the most famous garnet variety in Sri Lanka. They seem close to pyrope but are of a more intense red mingled with pink and/or violet. Though often included with a very fine needle structure (which is a pleasure to see under the lens) they do have all the fire and luster one might desire. In fact, a good almandine can be so amazing under a spotlight that you will not want to take your eyes off that sparkle again. Almandine is more expensive than pyrope but still a fine deal compared to the price of a similar color thrill in spinel or ruby. The needle structure in almandine tends to look a bit fizzy on photos. Nevertheless, almandines are a pleasure to shoot – they glimmer and sparkle in fine red tones and transfer well on images. Like pyrope, almandine color usually does not vary much between with day or tungsten light. Also, like pyrope, they tend to show black-out areas which are not as dark as they seem in reality. Rhodolite & raspberry garnets: Rhodolite and raspberry are red garnet with strong pink and/or purple hue. Both are characterized by their color and one will find different definitions over time and literature. However, if almandine and pyrope are wine & blood, raspberry and rhodolite are berry & flowers. They are the best deal in town for progressive color adventures. Both have excellent luster and a “juicy” color play that often mocks any description in plain words. Truly appetizing colors: Grading them sometimes makes me want to rush to the market to see whether I can find some berries. Both stones can be miraculous and nerve-wrecking in front of the camera. They are the chameleons amongst gemstones. We have seen furious discussions between photographer and grader about what is the “real” color. Truth seems to be that there is no truth. But that doesn’t matter much because these stones always excel their photos. Color change garnet: Color changing garnets are an exquisite rarity (and I mean rarity) in Sri Lanka. In absence of any gemologist, most traders and miners in Sri Lanka consider (or wishfully think) any color change garnet to be an alexandrite and thus have dollar signs in their eyes when they get their hands on one. Therefore, most color changing garnets start their life as alexandrite, but somewhere down the supply chain somebody has a bad awaking with them. On the other side, one must ask, why does a beautifully changing garnet have only 10% of the value of a dully changing pale alexandrite? That of course is a complex question of market mechanism. If one simply admires the magic of color change, hunt the last color change garnets before the deposits are depleted. Catching color change on photos is one of the trickiest tasks in gemstone photography. This counts not only for garnet, but also for all color changers. It is so tricky, that I can only warn of too good looking cheap color changers. A color change that is fully visible on photo without photoshop tricks is truly rare and will never be cheap (at least not in natural stones). Zircon: Zircon has suffered much bad PR due to synthetic stones with the trade name “Cubic Zirconia”. In addition to this, the use of zircon as a cheap diamond rip-off has led many people to believe that zircon is synthetic or some kind of fake. It is not! Zircon is a wonderful gemstone variety that has much more to offer than all the treated zircon in uniformed colors roaming the jewelry market. Zircon is the most brilliant of all colored gemstone (only thus could it be misused as an imitation for diamonds). Its brilliance and luster is unbeatable and its high birefringence is most unique. Naturally colored zircon can be green, yellow, brown, (rarely) blue, (very rarely) red and often colorless. In any color, it shows a stunning fire and magnificent luster. Mostly very clean and found in good sizes zircon is a yet little known opportunity for novice collectors and experimental jewelry makers. They offer adorable colors and excellent luster for every budget. A light yellow zircon is nearly as fascinating as a fancy diamond. Sri Lanka has for centuries been the best source of gem quality zircons. As a rule, zircons are even better in person than their images. The birefringence of zircon is so dominant that it is difficult to photograph clearly. Additionally, they are often so brilliant that they seem to simply mirror light on the image. The strong luster of zircon is rather hindering for the color show and when it comes to zircons, one shall rather trust the seller than the photo. Of course, this can be said as a general rule. Don’t buy gems based on photos but on the reputation of the seller and based on the security of his return policy. It is not a pleasant shopping experience if you buy a bad stone with a super photo that can’t be returned.
Tourmaline: Tourmaline is the most versatile gemstone family. Not only do they show themselves in all colors from brown to pink, but they are also famous for bi- tri- and multicolored varieties, and rare color changers. In Sri Lanka, we rarely find pink, blue and red tourmaline but are blessed with green, yellow and brown in all mixes and variation. For those who dislike today’s flashy fancy colors, tourmaline with his mellow autumnal hues offers superb alternatives. Turning a bi- or tri-colored tourmaline in the sun and watching his playfully change between reddish brown, yellowish green and mellow orange is most delightful! Pure green tourmaline can be an alternative to emerald and is thus often cut in baguettes and emerald shape. Tourmaline comes in good sizes, is clean and often used as healing stone. We predict that tourmaline will gain more fame after the recent run for flashy colors has settled. Mono-colored tourmaline does not cause any problems in front of the camera. The color comes out realistic and they are not too light sensitive. Multicolored stones (showing different colors in different zones) are also no challenge. But things get more difficult when it comes to bi- or tri-colored stones. Sometimes it is possible to capture all colors in one angle. But more frequently the photographer gets sore fingers and a heart attack before he leaves it to the grader to describe the color play in words.
Topaz: Natural untreated topaz is rarely available, and a lot of consumers buy all kinds of cheap synthetics, citrine or treated and irradiated stones. This has led to much confusion and a devaluation of the original topaz. However, naturally colored topaz is an exquisite rarity and a true collector’s item. Colorless topaz (which is often taken to be radiated) is a reasonable alternative to white sapphire and a good place to start a collection. The light blue stones we find in Sri Lanka are a delightful brilliant sight. Unfortunately, we rarely get yellow (the “true” topaz) or pinkish topaz. Natural colored topaz is notoriously difficult to photograph. Topaz, with their naturally light colors, outshine themselves and (like aquamarine) tend to look colorless even if the eye clearly captures a nice color. In any case, an untreated light blue topaz is a terrific stone with a dazzling luster surpassing many much higher priced stones. If you see a fully colored topaz on a photo, it is either heavily treated or heavily photo-shop-faked. If not, it should cost a fortune. Chrysoberyl: The famous color changing alexandrite is a sub-variety of chrysoberyl. Normal Sri Lanka chrysoberyls come in light to fully saturated green and fine yellow hues. They are hard and durable and thus much appreciated for jewelry. Generally of good clarity and fine luster they are a unique alternative to green or yellow sapphire. The fabulous cat’s eye is one of the miracles in the world of gemstones. Fine parallel needles throughout the stone break light in a way that the stone displays a ray moving across the stone. While garnets, quartz and other varieties might show the same effect, only chrysoberyl is correctly referred to as the cat’s eye. Basic parameters to judge the ray is the definition (look for full and clear), position (should be centered) and the movement (should be flawless) across the stone. While faceted chrysoberyl is easy to capture, a cat’s eye needs a strong single light source to display the ray. This is difficult without changing the color of the stone in the yellow tungsten light. Therefore when buying cat’s eye on the web, one should also pay attention to the ‘official’ color description and grading. Kornerupine: Kornerupine is a fine new opportunity for the collector of natural colors. Until recently, quasi non-existent in the gem market, kornerupine has now found attention as a nice untreated gemstone in very unique hues: From mellow green mingled with yellowish and brown tints to forest green. Depending on the cut, some stones show different colors from different angels but they are not as unpredictable as tourmaline (with which they are often confused). Though kornerupine has entered the gem market only recently, we have so far always received positive feed back from those who ventured to buy this unknown variety. Similar to other green stones kornerupine likes to be photographed. When it comes to pleochroic effects, things get more difficult. Since stones are cut him one color, this should not be much trouble. Diopside: Though soft, diopside has raised some attention from jewelry makers for its strong but reasonable priced green hues. Chrome diopside has actually become quite famous and expensive for its emerald green. However, it is soft and has to be protected in jewelry. In Sri Lanka, we mostly find the mellow green hues mingled with some lively yellow. Together with kornerupine, diopside make the most exciting new discovery in the world of green gems. Especially the cat’s eye variety seems to have huge potential as an alternative to the more expensive chrysoberyl. Due to his strong birefringence, diopside tends to come out slightly fuzzy and light green hues present inclusions stronger that the lens shows them. Sinhalite: Sinhalite is the Sri Lankan stone (in regard to the origin of the name). It is usually found in fine yellow brownish colors and highly priced in honey yellow. Sinhalite is a rare collector item that was identified only a few decades ago. Though uncommon in jewelry, it has all the qualities to be mounted and we would love to see more of it. As long as the color is not too light, sinhalite poses well in front of the camera.
Is There a Cure For Cancer?
As a cancer survivor who now dedicates much of my time to giving cancer support, I am often asked if there is a definitive cure for cancer.
“There are millions of options and many natural and alternative therapies that are proven to be very effective. There are many treatments available that have been effectively used by many people with cancer, but not the one magic cure everybody has been lead to believe there is. Heal one step at a time. I used many complementary and alternative treatments for my stage 4 cancer and I am cancer free today.”
An understanding and acceptance of the body-mind-spirit interconnection and the use of alternative, complementary, and integrative medicine all played vital roles in my healing from cancer. There is no magic formula that works every time for every cancer, but there are many treatment options to use.
Ironically, there are some medical experts and researchers today who feel the odds are great that the cure for cancer has already been discovered and lost because of the absurd extremes of much of modern civilization’s way of testing out new drugs before they are allowed to be marketed. For instance, they say, if a cancer curing compound were found that would have worked in human beings, but when it gets tested in lab mice it doesn’t work or does them harm, the regulatory bodies won’t allow further development of that compound into a drug for people. This is exactly what some researchers believe has already happened.
But other researchers insist that cancer can be virtually cured and removed from society because it is really an unnatural manifestation. Ingredients in certain foods, poor lifestyle habits, and the use of tobacco and our toxic environment could all be done away with and cancer would just about completely disappear, they say. Given the fact that while it existed, cancer was extremely rare before the early 20th century in the developed world (some people have linked the beginning of its dramatic rise to greatly increased incidence of smoking and the use of hydrogenated vegetable oils in place of “fattening” butter), there seems to be a lot of merit in this argument, too.
Both arguments are likely to be right or largely right.
Among those health researchers and medical experts who regard the latter argument above to be the right one, they point to modern societal traits like synthetic toxins such as crop pesticides, high levels of pollutants, the wide array of new and high-level stresses that modern people are subjected to, food low in nutritional value but very high in refined sugars and Omega-6 fats, lifestyles that rob people of sufficient sleep, and areas of poor air quality as all contributing to the parabolic rise of incidences of cancer in the last 50 years. They would insist that if a person does the right things to alter their internal environment in such a way that they don’t have a body that is conducive to the runaway growth of cancer cells, that person simply cannot get or sustain cancer.
These researchers also grow more and more frustrated with a medical care industry that insists cancer needs to be treated and defined in strictly “classical” and conventional medicine terms and is full of scientists who turn deaf ears on arguments for the mind-body-spirit matrix or any alternative treatments for cancer. The orthodox medical establishment insists cancer’s beginnings in a person are largely a mystery, that one who doesn’t get cancer is “just lucky”, and a cure can only attempted once the signs of cancer have already manifested–and then there are no natural cancer treatments, they insist, but concoctions of potent synthesized drugs or radiation doses have to be used. Cancer prevention apart from not smoking or not getting too much direct exposure to the sun is out of the question to them.
Their efforts are bolstered by the ignorance of the general public which demands their kind of “cure” for cancer and thus creates a profitable market for their well-intentioned but largely delusional methods. Cancer speakers, and advocates around the world do what they do to try to get the public to demand something new and practice new ways of cancer prevention.
One instance of a new physical compound that people who are suffering from cancer should start demanding, because in research experiments it has been proven to be highly and dramatically effective, is Zeolite. This unique volcanic mineral is a powerful detoxifier, and it improves the alkalinity of the body (cancer patients have bodies that have become more acidic than they should be). Zeolite liquids and powders have also been shown to activate the P21 gene which signals a cancer cell to die.
The concerted use of alternative, complementary, and integrative medicine of physical, attitudinal, and mental natures is what we need to cure cancer.
Homeopathy:Proven Alternative Medicine Or A Placebo
Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician disenchanted with these methods, began to develop a theory based on three principles: the law of similars, the minimum dose, and the single remedy.The word homeopathy is derived from the Greek words for like (homoios) and suffering (pathos). With the law of similars, Hahnemann theorized that if a large amount of a substance causes certain symptoms in a healthy person, smaller amounts of the same substance can treat those symptoms in someone who is ill.
The basis of his theory took shape after a strong dose of the malaria treatment quinine caused his healthy body to develop symptoms similar to ones caused by the disease. He continued to test his theory on himself as well as family and friends with different herbs, minerals and other substances. He called these experiments “provings.”
As we might expect, the intensity of the symptoms caused by the original proving was harrowing. So Hahnemann began decreasing the doses to see how little of a substance could still produce signs of healing. With the minimum dose, or law of infinitesimals, Hahnemann believed that a substance strength and effectiveness increased the more it was diluted.
Minuscule doses were prepared by repeatedly diluting the active ingredient by factors of 10. A “6X” preparation (the X is the Roman numeral for 10) is a 1-to-10 dilution repeated six times, leaving the active ingredient as one part per million. Essential to the process of increasing potency while decreasing the actual amount of the active ingredient is vigorous shaking after each dilution.
Some homeopathic remedies are so dilute, no molecules of the healing substance remain. Even with sophisticated technology now available, analytical chemists may find it difficult or impossible to identify any active ingredient. But the homeopathic belief is that the substance has left its imprint or a spirit-like essence that stimulates the body to heal itself.
Critics of homeopathy point out that no way such a dilute medicine could work. People are feeling better because of the placebo effect. Critics also say the research in homeopathy is very unimpressive. Proponents of homeopathy point out to numerous trials that have been successful.
Recent homeopathic trials include a trial done by A Swiss-UK review of 110 trials found no convincing evidence the treatment worked any better than a placebo. However, there seems to be many problems with this type of trail.
The University of Limberg investigators, who are all epidemiologists, found 107 controlled studies in homeopathy. Most of these studies did not meet the research standard that they were looking for. However, 22 trials meet their strict criteria. The researchers used trials with a large number of people, double blind studies where neither physician or participant knew who was receiving the remedy or the placebo and a random assignment of patients in a treatment group.
Of the 22 trials, 15 were in the favor of Homeopathy working better than a placebo. The other 7 trials showed Homeopathy working equivalent to a placebo. This is almost a 2 to 1 ratio of successful homeopathic trials to unsuccessful studies.
Alternative Healing
