More UNDENIABLE PROOF that IFUS products, like IFUS Intact Digest with Mastic, that I take daily now, can do what I have said it has done for my health, namely solved my life long allergy, asthma, and severe acid reflux problems so that I no longer need Benadryl and Pepsid AC. It has solved my acid reflux problem I fought for 30 years.

ALTERNATIVES TO ACID-BLOCKING DRUGS

Heartburn drugs are among the most widely prescribed medicines in the United States. The billions spent on acid blocking drugs may be the least of the costs of using them. Acid blocking drugs increase risk to antibiotic resistant infections, gastritis, pneumonia, bone fractures, dementia and likely cancer. Therefore, we will outline plenty of different options.

Less-dangerous antacids are discussed at the end of this article. Acid blocker drugs are divided into two general groups. One is the histamine-receptor antagonists and includes the drugs ranitidine (Zantac), cimetidine (Tagamet) and famotidine (Pepcid AC). The other and more potent group is called proton pump inhibitors and includes omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), lansoprazole (Prevacid) and rabeprazole (Aciphex) as well as Nexium, the purple pill.

While these acid-blocking drugs were tested to treat symptoms in the short-term (4-8 weeks, is the recommended maximum), long-term use can cause the body to up regulate gastrin.

Gastrin is the hormone that tells the parietal cells of the stomach to make more acid.

The pharmaceutical companies know this (and even offer free samples to help get you hooked).

Gum recession and characteristic patterns of eroded tooth enamel may alert the dentist to life-threatening bulimia, with its binging and purging or more commonly, erosive GERD, ‘gastro esophageal reflux disease.’

GERD can cause erosive ulcers in the esophagus, with symptoms ranging from discomfort to death.


Commonly prescribed for GERD, acid-blockers lessen stomach acid secretions, unfortunately reducing this very important immune bacterial barrier, compromising digestion of critical nutrients, keeping food more antigenic, enhancing allergic response.

Most indigestion symptoms (heartburn) occur when acidic stomach chyme refluxes (squirts) back up into the esophagus through the lower esophageal sphincter. So, if you have this problem, avoid esophageal sphincter relaxers such as caffeine, chocolate, mint, peppermint or spearmint.

Better to heal the compromised gut dietarily by enjoying bone soups and gelatin, soaked chia or flax seeds, as well as food sources of glutathione like raw asparagus, broccoli or egg yolks, and not forgetting bitters and digestive enzymes, beneficial bacteria and yeasts, masticating DGL licorice and using demulcent herbs like marshmallow, mastic gum or slippery elm.[/quote]
