Deze mevrouw: Patricia Ann Hellinger (website:
http://www.quasarhealing.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/quasarhealing?feature=watch ), heeft 15 jaar rondgelopen met een middenrifbreuk en zij heeft een manier gevonden om zichzelf ervan af te helpen.
Ze zegt dat chirurgie niet helpt: het is gevaarlijk en vaak helpt het niet om de middenrifbreuk blijvend weg te krijgen (komt terug).
Deze arts van het filmpje
, John Douillard, zegt dat de middenrifbreuk onstaat omdat we als konijnen oppervlakkig gaan ademen waardoor de spier van het middenrif niet genoeg gebruikt wordt.
Gevolg: maag kruipt omhoog.
Dit filmpje is een inleiding bij het filmpje hierboven van hem:

Diepe ademhaling is alleen daarom al belangrijk: je longen moeten je middenrif masseren.
Hier nog twee artikelen van zijn hand over dit onderwerp:

The problem is that most folks do not breathe well or deeply into the lower lobes of the lungs, which come in contact with the diaphragm. Due to stress, lack of exercise or yoga, and chronic mouth breathing, most people become shallow breathers.
Shallow Breathing Can Make Your Diaphragm Sticky
As a result, the diaphragm, which is a huge muscle, is rarely completely contracted and relaxed. Without deep breathing, the rib cage, which is naturally squeezing the heart and lungs, becomes rigid and cage-like over time. So instead of the rib cage breathing and massaging the lungs, heart and diaphragm 26,000 breaths per day, it becomes a rigid cage constricting the diaphragm, and the diaphragm becomes tight.
Here is the problem: When a muscle is not being fully expanded and contracted it will not pump in adequate blood supply that is needed to keep the muscle supple, elastic and functional. Soon the muscle – in this case the diaphragm – loses adequate blood flow and begins to lay down a layer of protective tissue that does not require much blood flow. This is called scar tissue or fibrous tissue and it is sticky and non-elastic.
A Sticky Diaphragm May Actually Adhere to the Stomach
Over many years of bad foods, lots of stress, little exercise and less than efficient breathing, the diaphragm may become contracted, sticky and rigid. When this happens, the stomach can be pulled up tightly to the diaphragm and even be pulled through the diaphragm, causing a hiatal hernia.

Self Hiatal Hernia or Heartburn Therapy
Lie on your back.
Slowly start breathing deeply in and out through your nose.
With your right hand, backed up with your left – drive your fingers up under the rib cage just to the left of center.
Press in and try to gently wedge your fingers up under the rib cage during each exhale. Remember to exhale as you press your fingers up and under the rib cage as if you were going up to grab the stomach which is adhered to the diaphragm.
During each inhale, as the rib cage moves up, pull the stomach – which you should have a fairly good grip on – down.
With each exhale, dig in deeper to reach up and under the rib cage.
With each inhale, pull down on the stomach, breaking the adhesion between the stomach and diaphragm.
Do this for 5-10 breaths, then slide your hands to a new section under the rib cage and repeat for 5-10 more breaths. Do this in each section across the rib cage on both sides. While the stomach is only on the left side, working the right side can help decongest the bile ducts, which is also a common cause of heartburn.
Do this technique twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening for two weeks, until soreness in the area goes away.

1. Nasal Breathing exercise to activate the lower lobes of the lungs and full respiratory capacity. Read: Body, Mind and Sport.
2. Perform the Sun Salutation 2x/day for 10-15 minutes each with deep coordinated breathing. How to do Sun Salutations
3. Sleep with a small pillow between the mattress and box spring, raising the head of the bed up 1-2 inches to reverse any acid reflux into the esophagus.
4. Read and apply heartburn techniques from Part I in this series. This mechanical technique is typically most effective when combined with the appropriate herbal and dietary strategy.
