At the beginning of this year, I woke up early in the morning with horrible heartburn. As a matter of fact, this was the worst heartburn I have ever experienced. Every now and then I use to have heartburn, but nothing like this. I never thought too much about my heartburn too until this day. I tried the usual regimen, but nothing was working. This was a pain in my throat.
At the beginning of this year, I woke up early in the morning with horrible heartburn. As a matter of fact, this was the worst heartburn I have ever experienced. Every now and then I use to have heartburn, but nothing like this. I never thought too much about my heartburn too until this day. I tried the usual regimen, but nothing was working. This was a pain in my throat. I went to work that day and the pain was terrible. I rushed out to the store and bought some more antacids, but everything I tried didn't work. The pain in my throat was so bad that I had tears that ran down my face all day. I hoped that the next day would be better, but it didn't. I set an appointment with my doctor, but the next day I found blood in my stool and rushed to see him. When I had an appointment with a specialist, he told me that I needed to have an Endoscopy. After I had this done, the doctor told me that I had the early stages of an ulcer located in my esophagus. He prescribed me some medications that worked for a little while. After the prescription stopped working, I went and saw the doctor again. He suggested that I ignore the problem and continue taking the medication that wasn't working for me anymore. I had heartburn for 8 straight days. That's when something went wrong. My problem worsened and now had constant pressure in my throat that never went away. Occasionally my heartburn use to go away, but not this time. I was prepared to spend the rest of my life like this. I contacted several doctors who then prescribed me different medications, but nothing was working anymore. I was taking up to 10 pills daily with no positive results. A couple I know that are into raw foods and alternative medicine told me to come over to their house. That evening my friends helped me come up with a plan to heal my ulcer naturally with raw foods and diet. I was able to stop taking my medication and learned how to live a healthier lifestyle without having to do anything too drastic. |
