Aloe Vera. Is there an alternative to omeprazole? PPIs

People often ask me here: May i substitute PPI with Aloe Vera.

The answer is NO. 

PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) such as Omeprazole, are the most commonly prescribed medications for GERD/heartburn/ GERD, Gastroesophageal reflux disease/acid indigestion/laryngopharyngeal reflux and they will decrease production of HCL 

Aloe Vera has anti-inflammatory properties. 
Yes, it will decrease an inflammation but it's a good idea to know why you have an inflammation in the first place, why do you have GERD? what's the cause of your GERD? 

i have a video here on my channel on the topic of possible causes of GERD/ heartburn/ GERD, Gastroesophageal reflux disease/acid indigestion/laryngopharyngeal reflux. See that video and identify the cause of your GERD:

 then eliminate the cause and only then help with Aloe Vera for residual inflammation!
