Scott Conquers Chronic Acid Reflux (GERD)… Eliminates Drugs

For years, Scott struggled with chronic acid reflux (GERD). Like millions of Americans suffering with reflux symptoms, he was prescribed medication to suppress stomach acid and control his symptoms. His physician prescribed Omeprazole.


The drug temporarily suppressed symptoms, but Scott’s health problems did not improve. Instead, he began experiencing additional complications — including neurological side effects that developed while taking the medication.


The Problem with Treating Symptoms Alone

Acid reflux and GERD are among the most common digestive complaints in the United States.

According to the American Gastroenterological Association:

  • More than 60 million Americans experience reflux or heartburn symptoms

  • Approximately 15 million people take acid-reducing medications regularly. These include:

  • Omeprazole

  • Nexium

  • Pepcid

  • Prevacid

  • Prilosec

  • Tums

  • Other acid suppressing drugs

Yet few patients are told an important reality: Suppressing symptoms is not the same as restoring health.

At the Goldberg Tener Clinic, we approach chronic acid reflux differently. Rather than asking:

“What drug should be used to suppress symptoms?”

We ask:

“Why is the reflux occurring in the first place?” That question changes everything.

Beyond Acid Suppression

We worked with Scott to identify and address the factors contributing to his digestive dysfunction and declining health. An individualized program was developed for Scott focused on:

  • Building health

  • Supporting normal digestive function

  • Improving overall physiological balance

  • Creating the conditions necessary for the body to normalize function naturally


Rather than suppressing symptoms, the focus was to restore the body's ability to function properly.

Scott’s Outcome

Today, Scott no longer suffers with chronic acid reflux.

He is:

  • No longer taking Omeprazole.

  • No longer dependent on prescription drugs.

  • Free from the neurological side effects he experienced while taking the medication.

In addition:

  • He lost 20 pounds

  • Reduced his body fat by 5%

  • Experienced significant overall improvements in health and vitality.

These changes occurred as a result of improving his health — not by treating or suppressing symptoms. Watch the video below for a detailed explanation of the many problems that can occur while taking acid reducing drugs.
