<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I was thrilled to see the negative press about acid blocking medications last night on the news. And, I'm glad Roy posted those two articles about the dangers of using acid suppressors. I used to work in family practice. I wanted to scream every time a patient came in asking for the "little purple pill." Then I want to strangle every time the doctor prescribed it. (But I didn't.) It seems like half the adult population in the US is on some form of acid blocking medication. These are very dangerous medications & they are passed out like candy. There's an excellent book explaining why stomach is good & should not be suppressed and offers excellent health building treatments for heartburn, GERD, gastritis, etc. I've done the protocol & it worked for me. NO more heartburn or gastritis for me. The book is WHY STOMACH ACID IS GOOD FOR YOU by Jonathan Wright MD ND. ~ Valerie in Tacoma ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand.
