@alleycatkate the little flapper thing lol I like that ! I know you understood what I meant .  Use the good one. I think you can only get it on the internet. It is made in Canada.

Have you heard about colloidal silver? I have used it in the past. It’s good for immunity and you can put it in the nebulizer. I took a teaspoon 3 times a day and I inhaled through the nebulizer also. It’s a good natural way. But you got to get the pure silver.

@alleycatkate, You may know this already about avoiding gerd. Cut out acid forming foods like tomatoes, eggplants, meat, eggs, alcohol, coffee, cocacola and others others. Don't eat or drink 3 hrs prior to going to sleep
Sleep with at least a 6" elevation. NOTE: long term use of antiacid meds can cause kidney damage. Hope this helps.

@windwalker Thank you Terri...Yes, I have been battling Gerd for years...so am aware of alkaline vs acidic foods. I refused protonpump inhibitors...and all the rest of the meds but just did start taking rantadine last week after reading on this site that Gerd may have played a big part in getting MAC. Yikes! Now it scares the BJesus out of me when it starts creeping up my throat in the middle of the night. I usually at that point sit up straight in bed and sleep sitting up. I am trying the ginger tea recommended by several on this site and just did change my new routine of Milk thistle to include right before bed as suggested by Nick..I got super relief last night with the Milk Thistle. Apparently it cuts down on the bile. I am anxious to go to bed tonight to see if it works so well again!! The small pleasures in life!! Thanks for your thoughts on this...haha...Dark chocolate stays! 🙂
