Acid Reflux Drugs and Antacids Are Killing You

[Guest guest]

I was looking for articles about correct PH in the stomach. And have

found an iteresting article. I did not realise before about the

danger of medication, I used to listen to doctors as to gods, they

were always right. I am discovering only now that I let them to

experiment on my body...

I wonder what will be the result of my 24 hours assessment and then

doctor's consultation. It is not a pleasant procedure and it has made

me very tired. I had to have local anasthetic. Yesterday took half of

diasepam, as I was scared.

My body was never mine before...I am beginning to discover it and

listen to it. I hope it is not too late.

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.

Fact1: 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.
