On some biohacker forums, some folks have reported success in treating LPR using Magnesium Alginate or Brown Sea Kelp derived supplements.

  • If you have weight issues, that is the first thing which will help - lose excess weight
  • Microbiome Imbalance is also a good thing to address

@Drift yes I think itā€™s either due to a reflux problem (caused by the bacteria H Pylori probably in my case) or a vagus nerve problem (the nerve that controls every organ in the body, digestive ones included. Itā€™s weak in my body I know it.
I donā€™t have acidic sensation but reflux can be alcalin too. Like in silent reflux (LPR)

@Maoshan_Wanderer I am taking magnesium bysglinate but Iā€™ll look into this form too thanks. Iā€™ve ordered kelp yesterday for iodine intake I am suspecting a lack of iodine too.
Iā€™m already very slim I canā€™t lose more weight.
Iā€™ve ordered probiotic strains that are good against Pylori I hope they will rebalance my microbiote.
Thank you much guys your help means a lot to me.

For the rest of forum readers:

ChatGPT Generated : Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that can cause gastritis, ulcers, and other digestive problems. While some natural remedies may help reduce the symptoms of H. pylori infection, antibiotics are usually required to eliminate the bacteria completely.

Here are some natural remedies that may help alleviate symptoms of H. pylori infection:

  1. Probiotics: Consuming probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt and kefir, may help improve gut health and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.
  2. Green tea: Some studies have suggested that drinking green tea may help reduce the amount of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach.
  3. Garlic: Garlic has been shown to have antimicrobial properties, and some studies have suggested that it may help reduce the number of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach.
  4. Mastic gum: Mastic gum is a resin obtained from the mastic tree, and has been traditionally used to treat digestive problems. Some studies have suggested that mastic gum may help reduce symptoms of H. pylori infection, including ulcers and gastritis.
  5. Cranberry juice: Some studies have suggested that cranberry juice may help reduce the number of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach, possibly due to its antibacterial properties.
  6. Honey: Honey has been shown to have antibacterial properties and may help reduce the number of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach. However, more research is needed to determine its effectiveness in humans.
  7. Broccoli sprouts: Broccoli sprouts are a rich source of sulforaphane, a compound that has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. Some studies have suggested that consuming broccoli sprouts may help reduce the number of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach.

Here are some references to studies on natural remedies for H. pylori infection:

Vagus Nerve ChatGPT : The vagus nerve is a long cranial nerve that runs from the brainstem through the face, neck, chest, and abdomen, and is involved in many functions including regulating the heart rate, controlling digestion, and regulating inflammation. A vagus nerve problem refers to any issue or dysfunction affecting the functioning of this nerve.

One common condition associated with vagus nerve dysfunction is called vagus nerve neuropathy or vagus neuropathy. This occurs when the nerve becomes damaged or inflamed, which can lead to a variety of symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, heart palpitations, and digestive issues.

Other vagus nerve problems may include a condition called vasovagal syncope, which is characterized by sudden fainting or loss of consciousness due to a drop in blood pressure and a slowing of the heart rate. Other conditions that may affect the vagus nerve include gastroparesis, which is a condition that affects digestion, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

If you are experiencing symptoms that may be related to vagus nerve dysfunction, itā€™s important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and proper diagnosis. Treatment options will depend on the specific condition and underlying cause of the vagus nerve problem.

There are a few natural approaches that may help to support vagus nerve function, although itā€™s important to note that more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of these approaches. Here are a few examples:

  1. Deep breathing: Slow, deep breathing exercises can help to stimulate the vagus nerve, which can promote relaxation and reduce stress. One technique is called ā€œdiaphragmatic breathing,ā€ which involves breathing in through the nose and filling up the belly with air, then exhaling slowly through the mouth.
  2. Meditation: Regular meditation may help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can support healthy vagus nerve function. Research suggests that meditation may help to improve heart rate variability, which is a marker of vagal tone.
  3. Probiotics: Certain strains of probiotics may help to support vagus nerve function by reducing inflammation and improving gut health. One study found that probiotic supplements containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus were associated with increased vagal activity in healthy adults.
  4. Exercise: Regular physical activity has been shown to improve vagal tone, which can improve heart health and reduce stress. One study found that 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training led to increased vagal tone in older adults.
  5. Cold exposure: Cold exposure, such as taking cold showers or immersing the face in cold water, may help to stimulate the vagus nerve and increase vagal tone. One study found that 1-minute facial immersion in cold water led to increased heart rate variability, which is a marker of vagal tone.
  6. Yoga: Yoga combines physical postures with breathing exercises and meditation, which may help to improve vagal tone and reduce stress. One study found that regular yoga practice was associated with increased vagal activity in adults with chronic pain.
  7. Acupuncture: Acupuncture may help to stimulate the vagus nerve and improve vagal tone, although more research is needed to fully understand the effects. One study found that acupuncture was associated with increased vagal activity in healthy adults.
  8. Chewing: Chewing gum or eating crunchy foods may help to stimulate the vagus nerve, as the act of chewing sends signals to the brainstem that can activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
  9. Singing or humming: Singing or humming may help to stimulate the vagus nerve and improve vagal tone, as the vibrations from the vocal cords can stimulate the nerve.
  10. Mind-body practices: Other mind-body practices, such as tai chi and qigong, may help to improve vagal tone and reduce stress. One study found that regular tai chi practice was associated with increased heart rate variability and improved vagal tone in older adults.

@Maoshan_Wanderer Iā€™ve checked argilate and read some studies, watched videos, I must say it gave me some hope, this seems effective for LPR according to several sources.
I looked it up on amazon but canā€™t find it, nor in french shops, the only argilate I found is sodium argilate which is a food thickener (and Iā€™m afraid to choke on thisā€¦) or a product for making mouldings/casts. I donā€™t know if you know where I can find argilate Mg please?
Thanks again, every little hope makes me see a bit of light.

@Vincit thanks mate to have asked chatgpt. I am already taking some of those, I will complete my routine with other stuff from the list thank you. ā€œCured by chatgptā€ seems like a good headline for the news outlets ;)

It seems the solution of elevating the bed head cured LPR in many people too, Iā€™m going to make some wooden wedges, it seems 6 inches is what is needed. Thatā€™s would be awesome rally, such a smple solution itā€™s incredibleā€¦

Ohh my God, thatā€™s the health problem i have for years :frowning: I thought this is my post lol

I know how you feel my guy, didnā€™t read replies of other guys yet, maybe they helped you but morphic fields are not real solution with this problem and they wonā€™t heal this problem overnight
First eradicate helico with Proton-Pump inhibitors, antibiotics and probiotics (First check with your doctor)
Than reduce stress and diet (Important, read twice if needed)

I eradicated helico pilory 2 years ago but what left is scar on Z line of esophagus (Esophagitis) so Symptoms are still the same as they were when everything started

What helped me (Regenerated my esophagus 90%) is meditation
I know a guy who killed cancer cells through meditation, after that iā€™ve heard how Joe Dispenza healed his spine with mind power so i decided to try
It took me no more than 3 nights (Sessions were approximately 1 hour long)
I imagined myself in my mental room (Older Silva method students knows that technique :D), Just used to sit there, relax, imagine White light cells rebuilding my esophagus and stomach + Repeating affirmations mentally
I can send you in DM more details about this process so you can use it along with playlist

@DavidCopperFIELD hi my friend thanks for telling me your experience, very much appreciated!
So you cured your condition or not yet, didnā€™t fully understand (sorry english is not my native language). I hope you are doing well.

Doctors gave me PPIs and abx but I donā€™t want to take that stuff, first because they will mess up with my health even more I know it, and then because they donā€™t work all the time.

I did an endoscopy my eosophagus is fine thanks God. Only Pylori out there. Iā€™m sorry for yours, hopefully it will heal little by little. Maybe it is due to acidity going up from the stomach (I donā€™t have this problem but I know it is a real pain).

Thatā€™s funny you tell me about meditation because I started Joe Dispenza meditation yesterday before sleeping, and did a session too this morning. So many people say they cured inimaginable deseases with meditation so I do believe you when you say it is powerful.
I am reading about transcendental meditation too (basically meditate while you reapeat a mantra in your head), this is a solution too, but itā€™s hard to concentrate on that.

Oh yes mate please send me some stuff if you think they could help me out, thatā€™s very kind from you.
I really hope you are well and healthy, this condition is far from funny. Not being able to eat normally means fear of choking, and no social life at all.

No problem, i also speak English intuitively :joy:
Well, itā€™s reversible in my case because of stressā€¦ I cure it 100% and after few days some Symptoms get back but i hope iā€™ll get rid of esophagitis very soon

Meds are bad today, i agree, but they wonā€™t make any harm to your body in period of killing helico, trust me
Fields and meds are there to give you enough of time to change something in your lifestyle
Our mind knows how to heal body but you need to get rid of blockages (In this case diet and stress as a main factorsā€¦)

Heart Brain coherence meditations of Joe are best in this case but iā€™ll send you my method, how i did it :slightly_smiling_face:
Wish you luck my friend!

@DavidCopperFIELD Thanks for your wise advice, I got your message too.Yes stress is a mess Iā€™ve always suffered from it since a child and I knew it would harm someday.
Letā€™s try meditation for this, it helped many stressed people recover a normal life.
You should try Aloe Vera gel for your eosophagus, read many positive testimonials.

I had a bacterial problem in my intestines and believe it or not, leeks helped the most.

You have already gotten alot of good advice up there and this thread is old, so you might not even have this problem anymore.

I will just post this advice anyway cause I have been through something similar.

Hi Dan thank you very much for taking the time to help me, very much appreciated. Still have the issue (food getting stuck in my throat when I swallow) no pain though. I tried some of the fields you mentionned but I will try the others. I think I am not receptive to fields but who knows, maybe I didnt find the right one yet.

I have a clean diet (paleo, without sugar, gluten, dairy, processed food, no meat too, only fish and eggs), I dont eat leeks because I heard it is hard on intestines, but it sounds interesting to try if you improved your issue thanks to them.

Thanks again for all your advices, people on this board are really great souls. Take care

Thank you. Yes maybe the upper (also maybe bottom) valve that are week or not synchronized well. The cause I suspect is the vagus nerve. I tried field for that in the past. I didnt try field for muscles though, I will do, thanks for this suggestion.
