Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Drugs and
Antacids Are Killing You
Doctors and Pharmaceutical giants know that
their drugs and antacids do not cure
heartburn or acid reflux. They have known
for a long time that their drugs simply
suppress the condition and continue the
cycle of heartburn, acid reflux, and drugs.
If you have fallen prey to this medical
cycle, for sure you are headed toward
serious malnutrition. The inability to feed
your body the nutrients it needs will result
in the diseases that you now see in most
elderly people.
Because your mouth and stomach are the first
step in getting nutrients into your body,
you don't want to get this step wrong. If
you are taking Prevacid, Prilosec, Aciphex,
Protonix, Nexium, or even antacid, its time
you re-evaluated the use of these drugs.
Fact 1 : Your stomach is designed to have a pH
of 3.0 or less, more acidic
Fact 2
:
When you stomach pH is consistently
higher than 3.0, more alkaline, you create
disease
Fact 3
:
Taking heartburn or reflux drugs or
antacids raises and keeps your stomach pH
above 3.0 and higher.
When your stomach has the proper pH, it
digests your food so that,
The meat you eat is broken down into amino
acids that you absorb later
Vitamins are created from the food you eat
Vitamins are separated out from the food you
eat
Minerals are kept in solution for later
absorption
Stomach digested food moves into the
duodenum at the proper pH level and triggers
digestive juices from the pancreas and
gallbladder.
Bacteria overgrowth is prevented and
eliminates their interference with the
absorption of vitamin B-12
When your stomach pH gets higher than 3.0,
It secretes more acid to keep its pH below 3.0. When heartburn or
acid reflux
medication interferes with stomach acid by raising it pH above 3.0,
the stomach is no longer functioning like a
stomach. It is now creating chemical
combinations that are not
usable by your body. What it now produces is
affecting the function of subsequent
processes in the duodenum and colon. It
causes these body organs to malfunction and
they fail to digest and absorb the nutrients
from the food you ate.
The cascade effect of a stomach with a high
pH over a long period of time results in
numerous ill conditions that are not
traceable to an inefficient stomach.
So it's your job is to keep your stomach's
pH at the proper level and look to solve
your heartburn and acid reflux issues using
natural remedies. If your condition, has
evolved into GERD then you may have to
consult a doctor or an alternative
practitioner to recover from this disease.
