The esophageal cancer was definitely from GERD; I didn't mean to imply it was caused by baking soda.
My point was that self-treatment could possibly mask symptoms.
In my humble opinion, I think people who suffer DAILY from GERD should see a doctor or specialist.
The esophageal cancer I mentioned was only discovered by a larngoscopy. The patient survived due to early diagnosis.
