ARE ANTACIDS AND ACID BLOCKERS CURING—OR CAUSING—STOMACH TROUBLES?

Dr. Jonathan Wright’s YOUR STOMACH offers millions of stomach sufferers vital new information about what really causes heartburn, acid reflux disease, gas, stomach pain, and related complaints and what to do about it.

Most Americans suffer stomach problems to one degree or another—and many lead lives of utter misery. Acid reflux is also associated with throat cancer.

Shockingly, the problem may not be too much stomach acid, but too little! Other maladies—bloating, belching, constipation, indigestion, and even thinning hair or breaking fingernails in women—may also be the result of too little acid. Antacids may actually be making the problem worse.

 Drug companies currently sell over $20 billion worth of antacids a year, not including over-the-counter antacids. Two acid blockers, Prilosec® and Nexium®, have over  $6 billion in sales, accounting for as much as a quarter of the manufacturer’s total revenues. Worse, many of the Food and Drug Administration panelists who approve new prescription drugs are actually hired by the drug companies themselves, and a substantial portion of the FDA’s budget is paid for by those same drug manufacturers.

 This powerful little book offers solid scientific information about one of the most common and distressing ailments in America. The text is backed up by a long list of scientific research articles. There is also fascinating information about little known and used all-natural supplements.
