Barrett’s.: Being. The traditional doctor that I am, I cannot support attempting to heal the known precancerous condition of Barrett’s esophagus with such means. Precancerous things have the real potential to become cancerous things. Barrett’s esophagus requires treatment and surveillance endoscopic evaluations coordinated by a Gastroenterologist.
