Hello Sharon,

I have not read the book. I believe the term GERD was invented by Pharmaceutical companies so that billions of dollars can be made from prescriptions written for a condition that is not a disease. It is the result of poor dietary choices, processed foods and the decreased function of the nervous and GI systems.

Yours in Health,

- Dr Malik.
