Do You Want to Get Rid of Your LPR Symptoms once and for all?

LPR is an invisible disease.

And it’s more common than you think. Most people are aware of their symptoms, but can’t locate the source.

Since you're reading this, you've already made it past the critical first step to overcoming your silent reflux: Awareness.

Many don’t even get that far.

Why?

The sad truth is: Most doctors don't know how to identify the signs and symptoms of LPR. Or they just do not have the willingness or the time to treat it properly. You, me, and other people diagnosed can attest to that.

I know this because I’ve been there. I can completely understand how you’re feeling. But, after lots of ups and downs during my endless search for a correct diagnosis and treatment, I became an expert on LPR.

The day I woke up with an unusually severe cold - the symptoms of which persisted for a couple of weeks - was the day I became determined to put a name to this condition. Even if that meant looking for something that’s hidden under a rock.

For a long time, no physician was able to find what was wrong with me. It was complete luck that I came across a doctor who was able to diagnose me with LPR.

My first thought was: ‘This is amazing’! I finally know what to point my finger at and start healing it.

It turned out: it’s not that easy. My physician prescribed me an acid-reducing medication which didn’t do anything for me. The symptoms persisted.

But, unlike other patients, I had an advantage. I work in the medical sector – as a medical journalist. Research is what I am good at. So, with strong determination and a good plan for how to get to the core of this problem, I began my journey.

The next few months I got busy with research. First, I went through all of the available scientific publications and studies.

Next, I contacted the leading researchers and physicians in the field.

 
My status as a medical journalist not only gave me access to all of these experts, but most importantly, opened the door for candid conversations.

I found this of great relevance, as it allowed me to address the core of the problem.

It took me a while to identify and reach out to the right people, physicians who excel in LPR treatment. Top doctors are busy treating patients; they don’t waste their time marketing themselves. 

Through the interviews, I learned how some physicians and leading experts treat patients with LPR. But unfortunately, these people who have the power to help us fight this condition, are busy fighting battles against the pharmaceutical industry.

All of the successful and permanent LPR treatment approaches – including the LPR Solution Blueprint - are based on diet. The giant pharma industry cannot earn money from that. Food is not patentable – drugs are.

Pharma corporations are even fighting treatment options for the toughest LPR cases. Cases that need surgery, to heal permanently. Big pharma is losing money with every healed patient. They are doing everything they can to keep patients in the loop of buying drugs.

Reflux medication generates billions in revenue for the pharma industry each year.

So-called proton-pump inhibitors to be exact, PPIs for short. They massively reduce the acidity produced in the stomach (as their name suggests). Some well-known brand names are Nexium, Prilosec, Protonix, and Prevacid.

And nearly everybody who sees a doctor for reflux gets prescribed them, including LPR patients.

How did PPIs get debunked?

Multiple studies in the last few years, including a meta-analysis by Dr. C. Liu (2016) have shown that acid-reducing medications have zero effect on reducing the symptoms of LPR. They only have a placebo effect, which means there is no difference between giving patients a PPI or a sugar pill.

Proton-pump inhibitors have been developed to treat reflux symptoms in the esophagus, where acid is the main problem. LPR, on the other hand, is caused by the stomach enzyme pepsin, against which an acid medication doesn’t do a thing.

Pharmaceutical companies are trying to suppress the fact-based evidence about LPR that’s available out there. It’s dangerous for their business because it will decrease the number of prescriptions written for proton-pump inhibitors.

Most physicians have such an overload of patients flooding into their offices, leaving little time to educate themselves independently. Instead, they visit seminars sponsored by pharma companies. I’ll give you one guess as to the goal of those seminars. You got it: It’s to make physicians prescribe more pills.

Dietary measures are a highly successful cure for LPR. Medication can’t even compete with them. But unfortunately, dietary reflux treatments don’t have a lobby.

Knowing the power of proper nutrition in staying healthy and tackling different diseases, it is surprising how diet gets minimal, if any, attention in med schools. The curriculum concentrates on treatments based on medication and surgeries. If that doesn't alarm us, I don’t know what will. 

This is why I decided to start Refluxgate. I needed a platform where I could share all of the successful treatment strategies for LPR, even at the cost of making enemies of pharma companies.
