Stomach Discomfort Gone! Real life story by Gavin Gear

Tradition meets Kiwi ingenuity
I have suffered from stomach issues and acid burning my oesophagus for years, since my early twenties. I have been prescribed various treatments over the years, I could probably write a book about it. At age 56 my doctor advised me “get this handled or you are heading for a bout of oesophageal cancer”. My doctors’ only advice at that point was to loose 15 pounds and go ride a bike. I was mortified.

Being somewhat computer literate, I researched the problem and became more and more informed on the subject. I read published studies that showed pharmaceutical treatments caused significant long term damage. The medications affect the body’s ability to absorb calcium. With less calcium being absorbed from the diet the body takes calcium from the bones and teeth to meet its needs. I also read a study reporting that women taking these medications for more than a year were experiencing 10- 40% bone density loss and have 52% more chance of hip fractures. I was adamant not to continue down this path.

From my inquiries I learnt that many people suffering from the same symptoms as me had success with using apple cider vinegar (ACV). So I tried it.

The ACV produced startling results: first, it nearly choked me, (I later learned this is a natural defense mechanism of the throat, called “gag reflex”).

Then I started throwing up more ACV than I was keeping down as I developed an aversion to the smell and taste. I had to find a better solution.

Mixing the ACV with water seemed to help somewhat but it was not giving me much benefit. Being a Kiwi, I was well aware of the healing properties of manuka honey so I added it to the ACV. The flavour was more pleasant and it meant I was getting extra health benefits, but overall taste and smell were still a problem.

I then looked for ways to resolve the GAG REFLEX. After much experimentation, I found an acceptable solution that I called the “gag reflex buffering system”. The incidence of burning stopped immediately, literally, that night.

In August, 2009 I filed a patent application for this system with the US Patent Office. It could have been rejected, had they thought it was without merit, but it was accepted.

During this same period, I was improving the formula - I learned more about manuka honey and swapped the table grade version with high quality medical grade 16+ sourced from Northland. Testing my concoction on friends and relatives, I realised that the formula was instantly effective, and some folks could go several days, even weeks, without taking another dose. Others had to take it once before bed each night to maintain positive results. I called it Nutralize^® - it was so effective at neutralizing the symptoms.

All the ingredients I use are natural and sourced from NZ, including the uniquely designed bottles, the apples for the cider and the medical grade manuka honey.
