I'm reposting this from the main forum page!

I had a week long battle with a stomach virus and a newly diagnosed case of GERD or Acid Reflux disease. You know, all those Prilosec commercials and shizmit?

I basically puked anything more solid than Ramen, couldn't drink anything stronger than water or gatorade, got headaches, no sleep, and a painful burning sensation in my throat. During my battle, I lost nearly 11 pounds, and since I was unable to train, lost tons of muscle/chi/flexibility.

After dragging myself to the, ahem, "real doctor's office" yesterday, he put me on a medication which cut the symptoms in half. However, I'm aware that other people who got this in the past, have been put on lifelong drug therapy, costing hundreds of dollars per month. To quote Cypress Hill, "I ain't going out like that!"

Ok, does anyone have any suggestions on the holistic healing tip? Any chi rebuilding exercises, or herbal therapy, or ? Please respond here, or use the email link.

Thanks and Merry Chirstmas!
