Here is what I am thinking...

It sounds like whatever combination he was taking - has depleted the good bacteria in his stomach and lower. That has caused a surge in - yeast - and then the body becomes very acidic in an effort to kill off the yeast.

In any event - juicing can only help and it will not hurt - it will bring his system back into a good ph balance.

Even if that is not the case and the anti-infalamatory is doing it - the ready absorbtion o fth veggies will still - be the best natural way to get back into as best a balancne as can be had.

Unless it is some other cause.

ah ha!

I missed reading that before.

Get off the Protonix. Seriously.

Now I am positive - what is happening. Tell your doctor to get onto the net and look up the medial research from Sweden - on the side effects of taking - Protonix - and others which are based upon the same method of acid prepression. There is a name for this method - and I forgot what it is - but there is a family of these antiacide drugs that are douing serious side effects to esphogus and lungs.


Get off the Protonix and let jucing take care of it. Or you will be risking several forms of lung problems because the Protonix - has lowered your acid levels to such a degree (and for such a period) that too much bacteria is growing in you stomach and esphogus - and it it gets into your lungs - you got trouble.

Now do me the favor and reply to me so that I know you read this.

Nothing wrong with consulting a good holistic doc, the regular md's had my sister going crazy over her cholesterol with all them pills, after reviewing her data the holistic doc had her reduce/eliminate one thing which cut it by 50%...sugar.

The Holy Scripture says the earth is blessed by the Lord to provide a vast array of herbs to cure our ills...I believe it. My brother Theophan, please read Sirach/Ecclesiasticus 38:1-15.

Of course He gave regular md's knowledge & skills also...there is nothing wrong with checking a alternate source.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) that is the method.

As I said - the method lowers the acid levels in stomach and esphagus - too far - and when too low - too long - bactrial growth in the stomach and the espgogus goes bonkers. Mostly - yeast gone wild. YOu are not trowing up acid - you are refluxing bacteria.

And what you will expereince is seems exaclty like acid-reflux symptoms - but now - it is not - is is a baterial problem.

You see - it all goes into a cycle.


Get off the Protonix - start jucing carrots for a few weeks - and StonyField Yogut - and then come back and thank me

A dietition or nutritionist about restoreing his ph balance. But I suppose a wholistic like real doctor would be just as well.

Oh - I forgot james - plenty of water too - at least 4-8 big glasses a day.
