 ASK LENA HEALTH Q & A EDITION!
====================================

Today's question may ring true to you or someone you know with HH symptoms or being treated for stomach problems.

If you are like me you want to know outcomes of attempts with health or life so today I have given you a  few (15) one sentence statements from people who have used our natural protocols and treatments and are extremely happy about the results, to satisfy your curiosity.

Reminder: Take charge of your health today or it will take charge of you when you least expect it!

Don't forget to pass on the newsletter announcement to anyone you feel will read it.

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching and also taught those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help is where my answers are based. Those same conventional medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness. They can't as they haven't been taught healing, only putting a bandage on symptoms, which led me to look for something to change
that premise for myself and those around me who ask. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity - when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

Ask Lena Health Questions and Answers is for your information and education only and in some instances to give you a different perspective on a particular problem! My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people but it is a fact that when natural herbal/nutritional alternative health modes are used more than 80% can be cured or reverse health issues...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude
as well! 

Thank you for your confidence and inquisitiveness!

QUESTION
 
I was diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia a couple of years ago and given Nexium to make it better. It has not made it better and my friend says you told her that Nexium and those kinds of medications can cause the same symptoms as a hiatal hernia making it feel as if it still exists. Is that true? What can I do to stop the medication and do something natural?
 
Joe
 
ANSWER
 
Well Joe, you friend is correct! I have told several hooked people the same thing. All of the stomach medications such as Prilosec, Nexium, etc., whether over-the-counter or prescribed, stomach medications, do create symptoms that allow the doctor to continue prescribed them or necessitate a person to continue buying OTC remedies for IBS, hiatal hernia aka hiatus hernia (HH) and other stomach problems because they feel the same symptoms. This is called rebound symptoms! Some of those medication's rebound symptoms are worse than the actual true HH symptoms. That fact was just released in 2009 in several studies done with thousands of people taking those medications.  It takes some doing to stop those rebound symptoms from happening but can be done with natural alternatives. Takes time and diligence!
 
Rebound symptom is a term given any medication that creates symptoms with their use when the original problem no longer exists yet leads the person to feel as
if it still is there. This happens in far more medications than people imagine.
 
How to use natural medicine to stop this?
 
David Williams, MD has a remedy to help stop or at least make a severe hiatal hernia better and I will give you that exercise later. Hiatal hernia is where the stomach pouches up through the stomach diaphragm - due to weak muscle(s) in the area - making for discomfort. Some small and some severe and anything in between.
 
Small hernias usually don't cause a lot of problems and not usually require anything other than watching the diet and not lying down within two hours of ingesting food
or drink.
 
On the other hand larger hernias can cause any or all of the following symptoms; heart burn, chest pains sometimes mistaken as a heart attack, burping food up into
the esophagus creating a burning feeling, feeling full with eating small portions but hungry a short time later, regurgitation when bending over or laying down within two hours of eating and/or chronic nausea. Most all of these symptoms become worse with leaning over, straining or picking up heavy objects.
 
Lesser symptoms that come and go that a lot of people simply ignore as it doesn't happen frequently; heart burn when eating certain foods or drinking some acidy
drinks, gas (flatulence), burping food back up, slight chest pains, abdominal pain after eating and occasional nausea for no apparent reason.
 
You don't say how severe your symptoms are but just about all symptoms can be handled with digestive enzymes, probiotics and a balance of minerals and watching
your diet, make sure you don't lay down within the first two hours of eating or drinking. If that doesn't completely relieve the symptoms, then it is likely that you have the stomach protruding so try doing the above along with the following that Dr. Williams has his patients doing;

If the stomach is stuck up in the hole of the diaphragm, then the first order of business is to get it out. Drink about an 8 ounce glass of either room temperature or slightly warm water when they get out of bed first thing in the morning. (No coffee, no tea, no juice, no cold water, just warm filtered/purified or bottled water.) Next; While standing, bring your arms straight out from your sides and bend your elbows so your hands are touching your chest. Then stand up on your toes as high as possible and drop. You should get a pretty good jolt. Drop down like this 10 times in a row. Then, while standing with your arms up, pant short quick breaths for about 15 seconds. That's it.

The warm water acts like a weight in the stomach. Being warm, it doesn?t cause the stomach to cramp. Instead, it relaxes it. Spreading your arms stretches the diaphragm and opens up that hole in the back. Dropping down on your heels jerks the stomach out of the hole and the panting tightens up the diaphragm muscle to close the hole.

If you have a protruding chronic hiatal hernia, you need to do this exercise every day, not just until everything feels normal. It will also strengthen the area, and make the hiatal hernia less likely to come back.

Digestive enzymes and probiotics can end the rebounder effect of the medications while strengthening your digestive tract while bolstering 70% to 80% of your immune system.
 
Conventional medicine can do surgery for the severest form, but sadly most of the surgeries do not work and create further problems. I always say try natural treatments for any health issue first for at least three months before losing hope. It is a fact that natural medicine has a 80% to 95% cure rate where conventional medicine has either no cure rate or up to 40% relief.
 
Hope this is the answers you needed.

Label reads "Made With Whole Grains" Is it factual?
 
Unbleached wheat flour is still the main ingredient; whole wheat flour is further down on the list, indicating that the product contains relatively little. One truth -- the presence of whole grains -- masks another; that whole grains make up an insignificant portion of the food. Another factor to keep in mind is the presence of potassium bromate, a dough conditioner found in commercial bakery products and some flours, which is a major, but hidden cause of thyroid dysfunction. This ingredient may be used even in whole grain breads.

A LIVING MESSAGE

Vincent Van Gogh was not always an artist. In fact, he wanted to be a church pastor and was even sent to the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. He discovered that the miners there endured deplorable working conditions and poverty-level wages. Their families were malnourished and struggled simply to survive. He felt concerned that the small stipend he received from the church allowed him a moderate life style, which, in contrast to the poor, seemed unfair.

One cold February evening, while he watched the miners trudging home, he spotted an old man staggering toward him across the fields, wrapped in a burlap sack for warmth. Van Gogh immediately laid his own clothing out on the bed, set aside enough for one change, and determined to give the rest away. He gave the old man a suit of clothes and he gave his overcoat to a pregnant woman whose husband had been killed in a mining accident. He lived on starvation rations and spent his stipend on food for the miners. When children in one family contracted typhoid fever, though feverish himself, he packed up his bed and took it to them.

A prosperous family in the community offered him free room and board. But Van Gogh declined the offer, stating that it was the final temptation he must reject if he was to faithfully serve his community of poor miners. He believed that if he wanted them to trust him, he must become one of them. And if they were to learn of the love of God through him, he must love them enough to share with them.

He was acutely aware of a wide chasm, which can separate words and actions. He knew that people's lives often speak louder and clearer than their words. Maybe it was that same knowledge that led Francis of Assisi to frequently remind his monks, "Wherever you go, preach. Use words if necessary."

Today, others will be "listening" carefully to your actions.
