If you are taking an antacid for your acid reflux and
heartburn, you are doing more than just getting rid
of?stomach acid.
?
The drugs prescribed the most for heartburn, ulcers, and
other digestive problems are Nexium, Aciphex, Prevacid,
Protonix, Zergerid and Prilosec. Some are available over-
the-counter either by their brand names or in generic form.
All of these medications work by blocking acid in the
stomach. They?shut down your acid production and also cause
many serious side effects ? as you may have heard when
watching their ads on TV. The FDA is finally requiring the
drug companies to put a warning label on all of these drugs
stating that they deplete your body of magnesium. Some
consequences of this depletion are so severe that they may
even be fatal.
Magnesium is absolutely necessary for?
- Your heart to beat. When it is missing, your heart will stop
beating. - A regular heart beat. Fibrilation problems are often due to
lack of magnesium - Manufacturing brain neurotransmitters to carry messages
in your brain. - Your muscles to tense and relax.
- For building red blood cells
- And helping to form your DNA.
- Strengthening your immune system to protect you from?germs
- Working with calcium to maintain bone integrity.
In fact, if you have taken acid blockers for more than 6 months,
your body is probably depleted of all minerals as well as
the B vitamins and the good bacteria that should be in
your digestive system.
I hope you read the part about maintaining bone integrity.
Since the proliferation of acid blockers, osteoporosis is on
the rise. It is impossible to have healthy bones with low acid
in your digestive system as neither calcium nor magnesium
can be digested without acid.
You may be wondering what you can do to stop your pain if
you do not take an acid blocker. The interesting fact is that
instead of having too much, most people do not have enough
hydrochloric acid. Their indigestion is caused not by too much
stomach acid, but because the food that cannot properly digest
just deteriorates in the stomach ?causing the creation of lactic
acid and the resulting pain.
Many heartburn sufferers have discovered that they get amazing
relief from sipping one tablespoonful of raw apple cider vinegar
with a spoonful of honey in a glass of water during and following
each meal. It may be taken either cold or warm. Some even take
it in their tea.
Others have found that by simply combining foods correctly, they
are able to eat all their favorite foods. One former acid reflux sufferer,
has developed a plan that has helped many live a pain free life without
drugs just by learning to eat the right foods together.
I urge you to seek an alternative to antacids before you
suffer serious consequences.
