Hello Everyone,
I hope you’re having a productive week and enjoying life!
In this week’s newsletter, I’d like to present some of my articles and solutions for digestive derangement in general and chronic GERD (gastroesophageal acid reflux disease) in particular.
In Digestion and Dyspepsia, R.T. Trall, M.D. writes: “We are a nation of dyspeptics and we are growing worse continually. Everyone is more or less dyspeptic now-a-days, and because everyone is ailing in this particular manner, it seems to be nobody’s business except those who make opportunity of misfortune [i.e., the drug companies]. However, [overcoming dyspepsia] should be everyone’s first order of business.”
Although it sounds as if Trall, an early American naturopath, is describing the United States of the 21st century, he actually made this observation in 1874. At that time, most people’s dietary staples came from family farms where everything was grown or raised without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Given this, it is difficult to calculate how much worse this digestive crisis is now when a diet largely populated with adulterated and processed foods has become the norm.
Dyspepsia is a somewhat archaic medical term that refers to painful, difficult, or disturbed digestion, commonly accompanied by heartburn, flatulence and other types of stomach discomfort.
In recent years, one of the most common forms of dyspepsia has been given the name GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. As is the wont of modern medicine, certain symptoms of common disorders are often regarded as stand-alone, unique ailments. In fact, GERD is a symptom of a complex network of systemic dysfunctions featuring a very prominent gastrointestinal tract component.
The body is not comprised of a vast collection of independently operative parts. Rather, all of its functions are completely interactive and finely coordinated. Therefore, it is misleading to view GERD as being exclusively a stomach disorder. In fact, most of the symptoms associated with any disease are local expressions of generalized states.
It is virtually impossible for a digestive system disorder to be localized to one particular organ, because the digestive system consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, liver and gall bladder, the actions of which are all orchestrated to function in concert.
As we can see, this is a vast topic and so I have published 3 long-form articles, each over 6000 words.
Part 1 of this discussion focused on the root causes and symptomatology of digestive derangement in general and chronic GERD (gastroesophageal acid reflux disease) in particular.
Part 2 focused on specific nature’s therapies: cool-water morning draught and post-meal water drinking, the cool sitz bath, Vital Chi Skin-Brushing followed by the Alternate Warm/Cool Shower, and an herbal chi tonic which may prove to be of good service in restoring vitality to the stomach and the rest of the digestive tract as well as in the amelioration of the tenacious, distressing symptoms of GERD.
As a traditional naturopath since the late 70s, I’ve developed systems that offer comprehensive protocols to build resisting power. Some of the most successful natural healing systems I developed or have used include:
and modern wellness technologies based on basic building blocks of life such as molecular hydrogen and electromagnetic field therapies.

Essential Oils, Fearfulness and the Arrow of Time
We can view the human soul as being operative in two worlds: the World of Becoming (the physical world of the senses) and the World of Being (the transcendent world of spirit). In Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE), the blender is taught to practice at the junction point of these two stages of reality –the world of the senses and the spiritual world.
