"Hiatus Hernia and
How to Deal with It"
© 2000 Olga Nickle
When dealing with any medical problem, it is important not to diagnose
for yourself. If you have a pain in your chest, it can be caused by
any number of things and a medical doctor would be the person to go
to in order to determine what is the matter with you and what to do
with it..
Olga is not a doctor and she is only recording her own experience. She
strongly advises everyone who reads this to take this document to go
to the doctor and get his advice on the matter. The doctor may not be
willing to accept it and so be it.
Over fifty percent of the world has hiatus hernias... The stomach breaks
away from its anchoring at the back and may push up into the diaphragm.
Acid is released into the esophagus and may, in the more difficult stages,
go up and be breathed into to the lungs causing severe asthma..
Apparently, there are five levels of difficulty. Olga's difficulty was
level five. The following is a result of having an unsuccessful hiatus
hernia operation. Most people just have a small hiatus hernia and may
want to use some of the following information to help themselves. If
the problem is only occasional and not bothersome, you may wish to skip
the whole document and go to the visualization at the end of the document.
To Olga's great relief, the process at the end really works.
TO BEGIN:
Doctors find that hiatus hernias are very difficult to deal with. They
can provide an operation that is only 60 % successful but 40 % not successful
or may be short lasting. They can provide some relief for the acid.
The following may expand what they can do if they choose.
Thirteen years ago Olga had a hiatus hernia operation that did not work.
Stomach fluids went into the lungs regularly, before and after ... extremely
painful. They still do but with much less negative effect. The following
is what Olga discovered that allows her now to live without pain or
distress.
MEDICINES
Olga takes Gaviscon every night before she goes to sleep. It helps to
prevent reflux from coming up while she is asleep. (Not a prescription
drug) plus:
Pharmaceuticals
Prescribed by a doctor:
Zantac stops the stomach from producing acid with very few side effects.
When the acid is controlled, stomach fluid going into the lungs may
have fungus. Olga takes a sulfa drug daily.. Olga experienced huge relief
in her lungs. When Olga had yellow phlegm, the sulfa was doubled and
they yellow phlegm disappeared in a couple of days.
Puffers for the lungs, as prescribed by a doctor, help. Your doctor
would suggest the appropriate amount and type.
Diet
1. Lost weight ... Very important. Olga used Herbalife that allowed
her to lose fifty pounds in six months in order to have the operation.
Regular water exercises three times a week helped too. ( Doctors told
Olga that a hiatus hernia can rectify itself if one is thin.)
2. No acids. No tomatoes especially or apples or citrus fruit
3. No caffeine means no coffee or tea or asthma medications that are
close to caffeine that relax the lung area which also relaxes the diaphragm
sphincter muscle such as theophiline. The problem is that the stomach
acid and fluids can now go up into the esophagus, mouth, nasal passages
and the lungs. (This asthma medication really made it impossible for
me to get better) Alcohol would probably do the same thing. (She does
not drink so does not know)
4. Restrict fats.
5. Olga uses soy milk instead of dairy milk. Diary milk causes the stomach
to produce acid.. Also Dairy products encourage phlegm in the lungs
and sinuses.
It was necessary to cook the food to make it soft for the irritated
esophagus. Olga found that real Chinese cooking seemed to digest easily.
Moist dinners are necessary in order not to irritate the esophagus.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Olga discovered in the hospital that everyone had acid spurts in the
early morning hours. While in the hospital, she was told, that the stomach
produces acid around four AM. Her solution was to be awake between four
and six AM and drink water at that time.
It is important not to sleep on the left side or the stomach. In reality,
it would be best to sleep on the back with the bed raised ten inches
(for hiatus hernias that are not severe. (Olga aspirated badly when
she slept on her left side resulting in extreme choking.)
Bed:
With a more severe hiatus hernia, one could sleep in a lawn chair with
cushions . (Olga had a problem sliding to a flatter level. Finally,
she is now using a zig zag bed at about a 50 degree angle. (A recliner
would be a good idea too if one wanted to experiment.)
Pillow:
At that angle the head rolls to the side with most pillows. An inexpensive
solution would be to take a polyester pillow and open up a seam. Scoop
out a hunk of filling in the centre to make a pillow that is almost
flat in the centre and full on either side. The head rests on the hollow
of the pillow and the puffed out sides prevents the head from rolling.
HEAD AND SINUSES
When one aspirates it can go up into the back of the nose causing inflammation
and cold like symptoms.
Olga found that the following worked wonders for her
A bath five days in a row containing:
• Tea Tree oil in the bath about twelve drops (normal recommended
drops are 6)
• Lavender essential oil same
• Eucalyptus essential oil same.
Tea Tree oil and lavender oil are antiseptics and helped to heal the
deep sinuses that were causing a post nasal drip. This drip caused coughing
and congestion in the chest.
FOR PAIN
• A pain clinic that uses acupuncture or a tens machine is most
helpful in relieving lung problems.
• Olga went to a Chinese medicine practitioner who did the herbal
medicine the old fashioned way. She cooked the herbs as instructed.
Her lungs improved dramatically.
• The antibiotic, mentioned before reduced the pain.
Today, even though her lungs were damaged, Olga lives a happy, productive
physically comfortable life. Restrictions include avoiding pollution,
restaurants that allow smoking and deep city environments. However,
as long as Olga obeys her rules as shown above and does the visualization
below, she feels great.
VISUALIZATION ACCOMPANIED BY HAND MOVEMENTS:
Visualization really worked for Olga ... demonstrated to Olga's doctor
and he recognized that it worked by holding his hand on the lump that
was at the top of Olga's stomach due to the operation. The lump moved
to the left and then receded.
• Intend your body in front of you with the nose facing to the
left
• Hold on to the top of your stomach with your left hand.
• Place your right hand just under the sphincter muscle that is
in the centre of your diaphragm.
• Push the diaphragm up with your right hand and pull the stomach
down your left hand vigorously.
• With your left hand pull the stomach towards you and then towards
the back of your body. (The stomach’s natural position is at the
back of your body with ties that hold it there. In a hiatus hernia situation,
the ties are broken and the stomach floats about.)
• Move your hands in such a way as to insure that the stomach
is horizontal at the back of the body.
• Repeat.
The pain disappears.. Why? You are talking to your body in your bodies
own language. You are using your hands. You will find that you will
have muscular movement below your ribs causing the stomach to move down,
to its left and back into the body.
The amazing thing is that you can do this for others, using your own
hands. Olga do not know how it works. However, the pain goes away. If
it is the power of suggestion, it does not matter. The natural healing
ability of the body goes into action place.
They no longer do the operation that Olga experienced with the same
technique.
However here it is. They made the stomach into a draw string bag. (They
took part of the sphincter muscle to be the string.) The result was
a lump that Olga could feel when Olga pressed Olga's hands into her
body. When Olga did this process on herself, the lump disappeared.
Olga demonstrated this to her doctor in the following manner.:
He held his hand firmly on the lump. Olga did the above hand language
visualization and he felt the lump move to the left and disappear. To
say the least, he was impressed.
Olga repeats. Make sure that you obey your health practitioner. Olga
is not a doctor. These were Olga's discoveries, bit by bit, over the
past thirteen years. Hope that you can use it in peace and comfort.
Enjoy.
