Non medication Acid Reflux

I have been researching on the internet about how to treat Acid Reflux without taking medication. Here's what I've learned:

1. Your stomach is a stupid organ
2. Give up smoking, drinking, caffeine, chocolate, fatty foods, and lose weight
3. Don't lie down for at least 3-4 hours after eating your evening meal
4. Spread a small amount of Manuka Honey on bread and eat before each meal
5. Pickles! Eat a pickle or drink pickle juice with each meal
6. Reduce your Salt intake

Egads.............. Combine that with the low fat diet you need to maintain a healthy heart and lower your cholesterol and you might as well be dead. The secret is - stay healthy, don't get high cholesterol, acid reflux, heart disease, osteoperosis, high blood pressure..... yadda, yadda, yadda
