If you’re one of millions of people who suffer acid reflux and use – even if it’s only occasionally – medications to manage your heartburn, you’ll really want to pay attention to today’s short article.
Americans spend more than $10 billion on prescription drugs for heartburn. That’s on top of billions spent on over-the-counter solutions.
The most common drugs for heartburn are Proton Pump Inhibitors, or PPIs. These drugs stop small pumps lining the stomach wall that secrete acid to break down food for digestion. They’re approved by FDA for chronic, long term heartburn (GERD) but doctors are giving them out for a much wider range of conditions (surprise, surprise).
Recently the FDA has been issuing a series of warnings regarding long-term risk associated with PPIs, linking them to increased risk of infection with the diarrhea-causing superbug Clostridium difficile. Taking it for as little as a year increases the risk of hip fracture and causes vitamin B-12 deficiency. The worst part may be severe withdrawal symptoms when discontinuing use.
The good news is there is a simple, cheap home remedy you can make that instantly eliminates acid reflux for most people. And following a small plan, you can be permanently heartburn free for life. Learn more about this acid reflux approach here…

i have suffered really bad reflux for years, I have tried so much for releif and nothing. I was then told to use lemon juice in water by a nursing sister. I thought how can an acid drink fix an acid problem. I now take 2 tbsp of lemon juice in warm water every morning on an empty tummy and it sure does work no reflux. I am also a diabetic with levels i could not stabilize for many years. since having lemon juice my sugar is now between 3.1 and 9, my insulin has dropped from 66 units down to 50 units and dropping i have lost 4 kilos in 3 weeks so i am happy
Very useful and informative deserving wide circulation.
Stop eating post Palio foods ie grains and ligumes etc. Worked for my wife and me.
does this pertain to you?
I’m still a little fuzzy on the benefits of the Paleo diet, since most Paleos were lucky to reach age 40.
You are something else…Your timing is PERFECT. We have never ever experienced heartburn or indigestion, uintil last week…We ate blackened shrimp and grouper at our favorite restaaurant..Believe there was too much blackening on the seafood..That evening we were sicker than ever..and must have irritated the lining of our esophagus or something. Since then we have experienced indigestion…and have been considering.
action to take…Your email is so wonderful..Thanks for being there taking care of all us who don't know how to "take care of ourselves.." You are a Blessing..Thanks..Bill.
I DOn't KNOW WHERE BILL RUNKLE ATE HIS SEA FOOD , BUT IF IT CAME FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO , ITS NO WONDER HE GOT SICK, AND DIDn't DIE. I HAVE LIVED ALL MY LIFE ON THE TEXAS GULF COAST, AND UNTILL THE B.P. SPILL I DID A LOT OF FISHING OUT THERE, BUT ILL NEVER EAT ONE MORE PIECE OF SEAFOOD FROM THAT SEPTIC TANK. ALL THAT OIL AND THE STUFF THEY PUT IN AFTER IS ALL STILL OUT THERE FOR THE FISH TO FEED ON. DON SELF.
awesome hint for me because this is the first time to know about this heartburn because I have never experince it, but the gist of it is that I have now learn about the natural food that can lessen the heart burn.
Thank you for providing this article.
Cheers
Why aren't doctors recommending Alakline Water instead of medications for acid reflux?
