The Acid Watcher

Improved Essays
After suffering from reflux for many years and going through pills that rarely made me feel better, I was hopeful that The Acid Watcher Died would have a solution. It is a very informative book divided into three sections: Acid Disruption and your diet, Food and lifestyle prescriptions, and the 28 day blueprint for reducing acid damage, revving up metabolism, and staying healthy for life.

The information on acid and reflux conditions is extensive, informative, and written so that it is easy to understand. The diet and Healing Phase section of the book is also very extensive. There is a list of food and drinks to eliminate from the diet that makes sense, but is not easy to follow. I have eliminated those I can and limited a couple drastically.

    The Watcher In most third-person novels, the audience doesn’t know exactly who the narrator is – the author is the assumed narrator.

Through this narration, the reader gains a certain closeness to the subject matter, while feeling somehow distanced. It’s clear from the narration that this person is not a direct part of the Cabral family.…

    When symptoms of dysphasia arise, physicians refer to three treatments: 1) dietary changes, 2) medication and 3) swallowing therapy (Sura et al. 2012). Treatment will depend on whether the symptoms are initiated at the throat (high dysphagia) or in the esophagus (low dysphagia). Because incapability of swallowing food is a major issue in individuals with PSP, dietary changes are the first to be incorporated (i.e. changing from hard food to soft, lose liquid forms) (Sura et al. 2012).…
