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.
