Acid reflux

[Guest guest]

Afternoon all,

 

I probably have gone through this before, but...

 

I've had a gall bladder removed and am prone to some of the problems related to

the surgery. Most people with this problem will know that they are supposed to

go off odds and sods like fatty foods and alcohol.

 

Stuff that for a lark!!

 

I get reflux.

 

If it is mild I take sodium bicarbonate (sodi bic, bicarbonate of soda), If

that doesn't work I take a 1/4 teaspoon of clay (green) from Argiletz twice a

day (if I can remember). That absorbs a lot lot of the gas, bacteria and

anything else that is playing havoc with my GIT.

 

I've included the mineral breakdown below. I've had a Soil Scientist say in no

uncertain terms that she would never ingest the stuff because of the heavy

metals. I can understand her point of view, but considering all the other

'stuff' in our foods I can accept the metals listed because of their low levels

(it is up to whoever ingests the clay).

 

Within a couple of days I no longer get the pain of the reflux and my energy

levels increase.

 

Naturally all of this is anecdoctal and works for me and any animals I have in

care who I want to balance their minerals.

 

Green Clay – Argiletz

 

 

Element Mineral % Properties

SiO2 silica 57 Usual component of sand and clay

Al2O3 Alumina / Aluminium oxide 12.6 Usual component of clay

Fe2O3 iron oxide 5 Just iron oxide (= rust). Usually brown colour in air, though

could be green. Common trace ingredient of clay.

CaO Calcium oxide 8 Probably present as carbonate (Lime). Common trace

ingredient of clay.

MgO Magnesium oxide 1.4 Probably present as carbonate. White. Common trace

ingredient of clay.

Na2O Sodium 1.05 White salts. Normal trace in clay

K2O potassium 1.55 White salts. Normal trace in clay

TiO2 Titanium dioxide. 0.41 Less common in natural clay. Strong white colour.

Trace may have been added as pigment to cover brown colour of iron oxide.

P2O5 phosphate 0.05 Normal trace in clay; usually adsorbed on the outside of the

clay mineral structure

87.06

 

 

Element Mineral ppm Properties

Cr chromium 70 Possibly contributes to green colour

Li lithium 25 Colourless, not likely to do much applied to skin

Pb lead 23 Possibly contributes to green colour

Mn manganese 130 Possibly contributes to green colour. Of all the transition

metal ingredients, on basis of concentration is most likely major contributor to

green colour.

Hg mercury

Exposure is cumulative, and eventually it will affect the nervous system.

These things are best avoided if at all possible.
