I think she was talking about problems caused by anatomy because the esophagus is along our backs and the windpipe is in the front. I recall she had recommendations for dealing with this. I think she disagrees with your doctor about soil being the issue but if you have a chance watch it and hear what she has to say. I may be remembering wrong.

I know there is disagreement among doctors as to source of infection, but as I am unmedicated at this point, I try to avoid as many vectors as reasonably possible while still living my life.

I watched the GERD webinar by Dr. Huitt this morning. I learned so much!! I have the head elevated 6 inches on blocks, plus I have slept on my RIGHT side for YEARS due to spurs on vertebrae on left. She says the HOB should be elevated 45 degree and the NEVER lay on right side in order to prevent acid and bacteria from getting into lungs. Tonight I will sleep in my recliner.
I am going to be searching for an adjustable bed.
