Acid reflux is a very common disease in modern times. Drugs treating heartburn from acid reflux, also known as GERD, are amongst the highest selling drugs in the world. Yet people who suffer from acid reflux appear to be condemned for a lifetime of medicine for this condition. Apart from the money spent on them, what is of more concern is that these drugs, despite being some of the safest drugs, may have many silent side effects on prolonged use.
This book suggests simple lifestyle adjustments that can cure acid reflux naturally. Where this book differs from others is in establishing the link between reflux and breathing. With simple exercises and lifestyle changes to bring breathing back on the track of balance, this book is valuable for not only people with acid reflux but also for those with digestive ailments and for anyone looking for simple natural ways to higher health and energy levels.
Bala Mookoni spent much of his younger years in the Deccan Plateau of the Indian Subcontinent, working with men, machines and glass-melting furnaces. He grew up gazing at the sea from sun-kissed coasts, dreaming of many things he did not have (a beautiful mermaid included). Now closer to the Thar Desert, he bid goodbye to a corporate career as a Vice-President and is working on what he missed for many years: doing things with his own hands, being more involved with his family (though he unwittingly ends up breathing down their necks) and having a cute Shih-Tzu at home. In-between, the wannabe author writes books. Like wine, apparently, he is getting better with age. And yes, he never found his mermaid but has instead a woman just as mysterious. His strong-willed daughter lives in Germany, and his teenaged son quickly takes his mother’s side when there is domestic discord. When he is not writing, Bala consults for a US engineering company or works in the basement of his condo trying to ensure the water from the sewage treatment plant there smells good.
