This was the headline of just one of the many well written articles by health and medical experts warning about the dangers of ‘mediating’ vs ‘treating’ acid reflux or heart burn.
One common class of ant-acids has now been linked to increase stomach cancer, heart disease and dementia, which is why I decided to write this article and provide you with some solutions in this video:
As far back as 2010 the FDA in the US sounded alarms on the use of common PPI drugs like omeprazole because they can increase many life threatening conditions.
According to Mitchell Katz, Director of the Los Angeles County Health Agency and the Director of Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, the United States’ second largest municipal hospital system these dangerous drugs should only be used for:
AND FOR AS SHORT A TIME AS POSSIBLE.
The reality however, is that they are massively over prescribed and wrongly prescribed.
What is really shocking is that an estimated 50% of acid reflux and heart burn is actually caused by LOW stomach acid, not high acid. This is why you need to at least try the simple test I mention in my video.
In 1996, a British physician wrote about a condition is called atrophic gastritis.
Atrophic gastritis (a condition where stomach acid is very low) is associated with a wide range of serious disorders that go far beyond ‘heart burn’ the stomach and oesophagus. These include:

The Dangers and Unwanted Effects of PPI drugs
There are many different causes of heart burn, but only one type of common medical treatment, regardless of the cause – ant-acid drugs.

In the UK the most common PPI’s are
There are others, and they often have different names in the USA such as zantac and nexium
Common short term side effects:

Just today I came across 6 articles that spurred me to remind you of this.
Most people say their health is important, yet only look after it once they lose it. And then they go to the doctors. Yet 80% of the time the advice they will get is inappropriate or dangerous.
Here’s why.
Nearly everything a doctor does is learned from a drug company rep. And as governments are beginning to realise – drug companies as a whole are more interested in your money (via tax)than your health.
And here are the 6 articles that reminded me of this today:

South Africa’s health minister Aaron Motsoaledi has described multinational drug companies as ‘genocidal’ and ‘satanic’.
Combine this with this quote from a former vice president of Pfizer, Peter Rost, about the drugs industry,
It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry Continue reading
I’ve said it before – lowering a fever with drugs like ibuprofen and paracetamol may often be the wrong thing to do.
For one, it slows the immune system.
The drugs themselves interfere with the healing process.
But now there is evidence that shows the practice of lowering fevers in colds and flu may be causing up to 1000 deaths a year. (Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2014; 281: 1778 20132570)
If you have been reading my emails and blog for any length of time you will know that medicine is not all that it is hyped up to be.
Medicine, it would seem, is crashing all around us.
This is not to say that medicine is truly excellent and at the moment irreplaceable for severe trauma like broken bones, reviving people from heart attacks, acute infections and genetic diseases.
