Remedies for Acid Reflux and Sour/bitter Taste in MouthQuestion by Julie on 04/10/2007
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am going on a cruise at the end of this month and would like to enjoy it if I can. Thank you.

The approach to a remedy is simple, the body must somehow get rid of this fungus like organism that is causing them.
The remedy appears that is used most often, in case the body is really sensitive to anything acid is the baking soda remedy. The dose can vary depending on the person's sensitivity, but the most common dose is 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day, a larger dose is possible if the problem is bad enough, which is 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda twice a day.
If you want to know what is the most effective remedy and the proper dose for that, it appears to be 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. My latest observation, appears to be that, a 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water appears to be more effective.
After taking, antibiotics they generally create a condition where the body is susceptible of fungus like toxins found in the body, and perhaps such growth, causing acid reflux and acid tongue. The body retains more heavy metals, and all of the antibiotics that I tested causes acidosis, which leads to acid urine.
If you have no problems about eating vegetables, particularly chinese parsley (coriander) those tend to cause the body to remove free heavy metals out of the body encouraging earlier death of the fungus like organism in the body.
It requires at least 2 weeks to notice improvement. In the meantime, use baking soda (and potassium bicarbonate if you can find them) and use this as a mouthwash. One example is 1 tablespoon of baking soda and/or potassium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass of water to be used as a mouthwash whenever the metallic (bitter) acid (sour) tongue condition exists.
The metallic (bitter) feeling of the tongue is that the body is trying to tell you that the body is overloaded with heavy metals. Both coriander and oil pulling helps in this respect. Oil pulling removes heavy metals when you swish your mouth in a good oil, such as (I tend to favor) olive oil as heavy metals are oil soluble.
The acid (sour) tongue tells you generally the body is overladed with excess acid.
One more additional way to tell you that these antibiotics have live fungus spore, obviously is when your conditions get worse upon eating sweets and ice cream. They tend to grow best and cause problems.
To further the kill, I have updated a newer remedy on the "baking soda only formula" to help kill the fungus issues caused by these antibiotics and other acid forming medicine (e.g. nexium which might cause acid reflux for people who never had them before by initiating series of acidosis) The formula for this one is 3 drops of 3% H2O2 in 1 glass of water plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda taken in the morning, and taken again in early afternoon, then once again before bedtime. Of course you may combine this with the other therapies, but the baking soda for Aplle cider vinegar should be reduced to 1/4 instead of 1/2 teaspoon.
Using h2o2 1% as a mouthwash whenever that problem of acid metal tongue also helps reduce the problem by directly killing them.
If the problem persist, a tiny pinch of borax, 1/16 teaspoon well dissolved in 1 glass of full water taken slowly can also help further the kill of the fungus like organism. I suspect it is the spores of bacteria/fungus from the antibiotics, or that the antibiotics now has become food to many micorganism.
