Treatment Of Acid Reflux Disease

Q.I have the following conditions: - ADHD (mainly the attention deficit part) - asthma - acid reflux/GERD - meralgia paresthetica I'm a big believer in "alternative" treatments like chiropractic, acupuncture, acupressure, herbalism, reiki, etc. I'd love to try acupuncture because I've heard so many good things about it, but unfortunately I can't afford it right now. I can barely afford my chiropractor and my regular HMO medical plan, but I won't give those up! At any rate, I suspect it could probably help ALL of my conditions at least somewhat, but I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me which of the conditions stand the best chance of being helped by acupuncture? Also -- and this is a long shot -- if anyone knows of an inexpensive but GOOD acupuncturist in the Silicon Valley/South Bay Area of California, please tell me who it is and also the suitable treatment for this please?

A.You should do these things For the ADHD, meditate For asthma, L-Arginine or coffee. Coffee promotes the growth hormone arginine Arginine is such a reliable GH releaser that it is used to test for GH deficiency in children. Arginine also promotes nitrous oxide which relaxes blood vessels and it's full of antioxidants. Relaxed blood vessels promotes better breathing. For acid reflux/GERD: try papaya supplements For meralgia paresthetica: If caused by mechanical factors, such as compressive clothing, belts, obesity, and pregnancy. Try wearing loose clothes, lose the belt and the weight or have that baby. I try and avoid more medications, as I have many problems by being over medicated for so long. My condition is terminal, where as these may be treated. I have had acupuncture for eight herniated discs in my spine. Ouch! It did absolutely nothing, but run up a huge bill. I do herbal remedies when at all possible and I hope you at least try them.
