Interesting. I was not blaming the patient in the least. I merely noted a simple fact that many people aren’t aware of having acid reflux issues until a health professional points it out. Working in a dental office as a dental hygienist, we see many people with evident acid wear on their dentition and they are completely oblivious and unaware that they even have an acid problem. Regardless of what you feel or think about the diet, having a healthy diet means very different thing to each and every one of us, since we all have our own ideas what exactly constitutes healthy eating. Most North Americans think they eat healthy yet they have the highest rates of diabetes in the world and most have diabetes for years before they are even aware and diagnosed. Acid reflux is very much like that. Once again, I was merely making a suggestion and no blame of any kind was ever intended. Sometimes people are unaware or just don’t know and are uninformed. However, if you feel taking a pill is better, the choice is entirely the person’s who is suffering. Their body, their choice. My only intention was to inform in hopes of helping. I have absolutely no other personal gain.
I find that people who feel threatened or insecure in some way are the ones who throw temper tantrums, and make nasty and satirical comments. These are really unnecessary since I am not threatening you nor anyone else nor vice versa. We are here because we have one thing in common. I am happy your fight seems over being NED but there are many of us who are in active fight against melanoma with active tumors as we speak.
A little kindness and less sarcasm goes a long way. Maybe you should practice what you preach?
Best regards,
