A member asked:
I hear the mayo clinic had a new treatment for acid reflux. this consisted of a magnet bead type ring placed around the esophagus. good idea?

If it works, yes: For many the alternative is a lifetime of taking acid reducers so if this stops acid and/or food from backing up from the stomach to the esophagus by recreating a pressure gradient, it sounds useful.
