Heartburn

 When you suffer from heartburn, you are told that you are sick, that it is gastrointestinal reflux DISEASE, that you should avoid fatty foods, minced meat, coffee, alcohol, meat products, citrus fruits, tomatoes, cheese, garlic, onions, blah blah blah... I won't even bother writing down everything I found on the internet about this "cruel disease." You eat plain bread, drink water, take a handful of pills, hope and pray that it will go away and that you will "get well" as soon as possible :) As a preventive measure, you take your temperature, just in case it's something more serious :)

I'D RATHER WRITE ABOUT THE PERSPECTIVE OF NEW GERMAN MEDICINE, a perspective that has been confirmed for me for a long time now. Here is a previously written article with the same explanation.

Well, this is another situation where I suffered from this "cruel disease" for about 10 minutes: this morning a neighbor came to visit us. We gave him some coffee and sat in the shade in the garden chatting. As we talked, the neighbor reminded us that asphalt was going to be placed on our street. We had known for about a week when someone from the City Hall went around the village to announce it to everyone. He also tells us that the project was initiated by the former mayor and that the route of the asphalt is "designed" in such a way as to strategically pass by all those who were "someone" in the City Hall at the time.

I don't want asphalt. Asphalt means destroying the trees outside my fence, it means heat in the summer, dirt, chaos, noise from the digging, lots of cars and traffic afterwards, etc. etc. My whole beautiful, peaceful, natural environment on the side street is going down the drain because of the whims of a few individuals who have decided to modernize my street by force. Not to mention that a neighbor with a sick husband is desperate because she is being forced to move her fence at her own expense.

AS SOON AS THE SUBJECT OF ASPHALT WAS BROUGHT UP, I FELT MY STOMACH ACID RISING IN MY THROAT AND BURNING ME. It was awful. As soon as I realized this and calmed down, it passed. As soon as I forgot to calm down and imagined the cars with asphalt and the individuals from the city hall proud that they had modernized us and stressed to get the asphalt to their gate as quickly as possible, my throat started burning again—I could barely stand the pain. I drank water to make it go away. Once the discussion about the asphalt was over, I decided to calm down and the burning sensation went away. Now, as I write and remember, it's coming back :)

So...heartburn is the ACTIVE phase of a conflict of ANGER. What can you do? First of all, relax. You can control its intensity by calming down...if you can. If not, drink water, eat dry bread, understand that it's up to you to make it go away, and calm down anyway :)

All the best,

Geo
