The Danger of Heartburn Medications

The vast majority of Americans that take P.P.I.'s (proton pump inhibitors) simply do not require them.
We have been taught that reflux, indigestion, and heartburn are symptoms of too much hydrochloric acid in the stomach. However, research show over and over that it is a lack of digestive acid and enzymes that can lead to the fermentation of food in our G.I. that causes these symptoms. Not only are we blocking our digestive power taking these medications, we are also setting ourselves up for worse health issues. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE6D8113BF935A15755C0A9649D8B63&ref=ronicarynrabin
The next time you have heartburn think about what you ate, and the fact that you may not have the digestive fortitude that you once had. Nature has the answer.
