Article by Jim Rees

Everyone knows that it is acid reflux that causes the pain and distress of heartburn. So surely, it makes sense then, that if you reduce the amount of acid that your stomach produces, this must be the best way to treat acid reflux. Actually NO, it is not.

Acid reflux is also known as GERD which is a gastro-esophageal disease which occurs when the sphincter which is located around the base of the esophagus is not functioning correctly.
