The tightness of the throat is relieved by magnesium citrate or magnesium chloride. Depending on the type of magnesium, magnesium citrate is about 100 to 250 mg, or magnesium chloride saturated solution is 8 drops before meals twice a day. For the mucous in the throat we need to break up the disulfide bonds that caused the mucous, and this is done with N acetyl Cysteine 250 mg x 2. Difficultly swallowing can come from tightness caused by excess calcium and lack of magnesium in the diet. Chest pain may be helped with a couple of supplements, such as EDTA, magnesium, or even CoQ10.

Hi, I am 32 and pregnant with my third child (38wks). I have had severe acid reflux since the first pregnancy, 10yrs ago. Sometimes it feels as though I am having a heart attack. I don't drink sodas and am currently not eating fried foods or avoiding most acidic foods. Nothing is working for the reflux, not even the prescriptions. I decided to try the apple cider vinegar tonight. I took one tablespoon of it straight (no dilution). I immediately began to vomit. Now I am stuck with a very sore throat (burning) and acid reflux. I give up.
