Heartburn drugs: all harm, no good<\/p>\n

<\/b>If you take heartburn drugs, you don’t need me to tell you the odd paradox of these meds — the more you take them, the more you need them.<\/p>\n

That’s because these deadly drugs are actually CAUSING your symptoms — not curing them.<\/p>\n

But everything you’ve been told about heartburn — from the symptoms to the cure — is bunk, unless you’ve been reading my column over the years.<\/p>\n

The latest research shows how that the most popular antacid meds — the proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs — can actually give stomach acid problems to healthy people.<\/p>\n

These meds, which include Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid and Aciphex, were responsible for more than $25 billion in global sales last year — so believe me when I tell you that some very powerful people are hoping your computer crashes just before you read this next part.<\/p>\n

Healthy people with no history of tummy troubles were given these meds for eight weeks. Then, after being taken off them, more than 40 percent developed heartburn, acid regurgitation and\/or dyspepsia.<\/p>\n

The study, published in Gastroenterology, is just the latest in an endless list of bad news about these drugs. They’ve been linked to an increased risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures, diarrhea, potentially deadly cases of pneumonia and so much more.<\/p>\n

And for all that, they still can’t do what they advertise and cure you of your heartburn problems — few of which are actually caused by too much stomach acid to begin with.<\/p>\n

If you want to be freed from the antacid prison, subscribe now to The Douglass Report<\/font><\/a> and read the August issue in my online archives. I have everything you need to know about defeating not just the cause of your heartburn, but your dependence on a drug that may be killing you.<\/p>\n
