Hello there,
I have a lot of confidence in Peat's thinking to address malfunction in the body, but recently I think I'm dealing with a hiatal hernia and it's been a massive blow to my confidence to take on other aspects of my health that are suffering. For this I feel I have limited answers. This condition basically means chronic heartburn and indigestion, which both came on rather suddenly for me along with heart palpitations, chest pressure, anxiety, tightness in the throat, and shallow breathing. Most common now is indigestion and chest pressure that inhibits abdominal breathing. I have never had real problems with indigestion, even though my hormones are messed up. As a result of all this, recently I'm often hungry and don't know what to eat. Nearly every food seems to aggravate me, even with the addition of Hcl or apple cider vinegar (although these seem to help). I have trouble digesting most foods, and no matter what digestion almost always feels incomplete. Of course, the conventional medicine argument to this condition is to have surgery or take antacids.
These two links proved to be the most inspiring:

In the comment section of one of the only helpful books available, someone posted a supposed natural recovery through 19 months of effort.

If I wasn't in such a bad state otherwise, I would consider surgery, but I'm very hypo and complications exist. The hernia can actually resurface. Does anyone have any idea how they would approach this, or have any experience for that matter? What can one actually do here, because the Internet has utterly muddled ideas on issue?
