What is Heartburn?
Heartburn is a burning feeling rising from the stomach or lower chest up towards the neck. It is caused by acid from the stomach backing up into the gullet (oesophagus or swallowing pipe). See also Dyspepsia, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and oesophagitis.
How do you get Heartburn? Normally, a ‘valve’ at the lower end of the swallowing pipe (the lower oesophageal sphincter) opens when you swallow and closes when food has passed. In some people, this does not work properly and does not close off when it should, usually after a meal.
Heartburn can be infrequent or can occur regularly in patients with conditions such as acid reflux disease.
In patients with acid reflux disease, heartburn usually gets worse after they eat, or when they lie down or bend over. How serious is Heartburn? Heartburn symptoms produce a lot of discomfort and can affect feelings of well-being when they appear regularly. Heartburn may signal other problems such as oesophagitis (inflammation of the oesophagus) or GERD, which can be more serious. Patients may then require stronger medicines to control symptoms if heartburn persists, so it is important to seek a doctor’s advice.
How long does Heartburn last? The symptoms of heartburn can be frequent and may last several weeks, months or longer if left untreated. Because they may appear now and again they may be experienced for a long time before a decision is taken to seek medical advice. They can also re-occur after treatment.
How is Heartburn treated? Medications commonly used in the treatment of heartburn include:
Acid suppressants, such as histamine H2-antagonists (blockers). Histamine is a chemical released in the body under many different conditions. In the stomach it can release more acid, so blocking histamine’s action reduces acid production.
Proton-pump inhibitors also work on the cells in the stomach wall, which make acid, to reduce the amount of acid produced and released into the stomach chamber.
Other medicines (called pro-kinetic agents) increase the movement of the stomach. They work by increasing the pressure of the lower oesophageal sphincter (the point where the oesophagus joins the stomach) and promote emptying of the stomach.
Antacids are medicines that are commonly used to treat acid-related symptoms, like heartburn or indigestion, and work by neutralising acid in the stomach. However, they are not usually recommended to treat the frequent heartburn suffered by people with GERD.

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death.
Advice on not to skip breakfast!
Tips for healthyliving...
For those who always skip breakfast, you should start kicking that habit now!!
You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast. Why?
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours? :-(
We may have an answer . Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency. However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes . :-) Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. S o if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research.Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes ,along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice , and perhaps a piece of fruit . This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential heart attack or stroke.

You can write it in a letter In flowery words On sweetly perfumed paper And seal it with a loving kiss You can write it in smoke Across the clear blue sky You can use dots and dashes Like the old Morse code Just say you love me
You can sing it in a song Like a nightclub crooner Honey covered words Set to the music of love You can beat it out in rhythm On a set of bongo drums Emblazon it on a banner Trailing behind a biplane Just say you love me
You can say it on the telephone In dulcet tones Your voice soft and sweet To match the words of love Say it in electric letters On the side of an airship Display it on a big screen Before the match kicks off Just say you love me
You can say it in dance In the ballet tradition With grace and poise Moving like Darcy Bussle You can send a signal in smoke Like a Native American You can say it in an Email Just one line will do You can say it in a Text I luv u or u r m9 Just say you love me

There is a kid he is all alone, nobody befriends him he is cold to the bone, he sits in the rain but nobody will come, he waits all day in till his fingers are numb.
what the others don’t realize is that, he is a dreamer, a believer not just a brat, kind gentle nice in every way, but the other kids a mean and call him gay.
His parents believe he is injury prone, but really its bully’s that make him groan, all he wants is a companion to care, someone fun that doesn’t despair.
Then comes along a nice young girl, she be friends him here name is sharni-pearl, they play with glee and dream away, together with her he is not a bully’s prey.
His grades improve he has so much more fun, and when he grew up she was his high school hun, now they live together married and happy, they raised a son a dreamer, a happy chappy.

Upon the wooded hill The forest sentinel stood Made from wind falls Wooden scraps and ullage Skillfully fashioned To become, complete with binoculars The birdwatcher But all was not as it seemed For the sentinel Destined to forever study What fell before his gaze Every autumn Turned his attention upon His favorite birch tree Who when the autumn wind blew Began to shed her leafy canopy All the year round he studied In detail her fully covered form But in the autumn he could Revel in her nakedness The sentinel spoke to himself Oh I’m getting a woody And with that his sap began to rise Oh no too soon, too soon Then all too suddenly it was over So upon the wooded hill The frustrated forest sentinel stood Staring through his binoculars And telling himself There’s always next year

You open your eyes to seek true love within your reach. To find a person who will connect hands and lips which share stories to teach. Someone to keep you safe in their arms. hand in hand. lips with lips. long walks along the beach and watching the sunset. Like a perfect fairytale with memories behind which leaves a trail. It feels like its impossible And ‘forever’ can’t be true but forever isn’t impossible, nor a lie. Forever is what you make it. And the words you long to hear. I love you.

Life counts the rules; the sunset, their exceptions. Rain drinks up the centuries; spring, our dreams. The eagle sees the sunrays and youth, the visions.

The empty ache of loneliness A hollow emptiness A desperate want For their caress To fill the void Left by invisibility Butterflies flutter When you meet their gaze Knees weaken, just for a second As they brush past Then light-headedness When you smell their scent Then later In the quiet of the night The empty void of want Loins aching for them Then hollow emptiness The constant companion The loneliness Of unrequited love
