WARNING: Many people who have Acid Reflux Disease take prescription drugs like Prilosec, Prevacid or Nexium. While these drugs may help treat symptoms in the short-term (4 to 8 weeks, maximum), long-term use can cause the body to produce an extra amount of the hormone called gastrin. Gastrin is the substance that tells your stomach to make more acid.
Another problem with prescription drugs is the fact that many people take more than one medication, and the effects of one drug can amplify or alter the effects of another.
This can lead to serious reactions or even death in some cases. These reactions can also occur with over-the-counter medications, too.
Prescription drugs also increase the risk of recreational drug use. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that an estimated 4 million people use prescription drugs non-medically, which can lead to addictions. Also, overdosing, whether intentional or unintentional, can lead to severe body damage or death.
Prescription drugs can also build up toxins in your body, especially as you age - because your metabolism slows down, and your body is less able to process the medication.
Don't you agree that you'd be better off using a natural home remedy, instead of prescription drugs?
Antacids (such as Pepcid, Zantac, Tagamet, Rolaids, and Tums) only mask the underlying problem of your heartburn or acid reflux. Most antacids contain excessive amounts of minerals such as Sodium, Aluminum, Calcium, and Magnesium. Excessive mineral imbalances can be very harmful, leading to hypertension or even Alzheimer's Disease.
So as you've learned, there are many serious reasons why you need to try a safe & natural home remedy, instead of prescription drugs or antacids!
