Treating acid reflux symptoms can be dangerous if they keep you from taking care of the cause of it.
Medical researchers are just beginning to understand the root cause of acid reflux symptoms, whereas science has known the cause for literally thousands of years.

It goes unsaid that if medicine can’t cure your acid reflux it’s time to take a closer look at the science of healing digestive balance.
The Western approach tries to treat the symptoms of digestive imbalance because it is truly ignorant of what causes acid reflux and its complications.
There are plenty of misconceptions about digestive disorders like acid reflux . . . the biggest one is assuming your acid reflux is some kind of drug deficiency. Why else would millions of people pop useless antacids, such as Tums, while simple cases of heart burn inflame into acid rebound cases and then gastro-esophageal reflux diseases (GERD)?
Did you know the makers of TUMS just recalled 15,000,000 packages of the antacid because they are full of pieces of metal scrap and wood chips? Apparently someone is sweeping the shop floor and dumping the garbage into the antacid mix. Who knows what other mystery ingredients have been swept up in the process?
From a medical standpoint your acid reflux happens because the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)—a muscle between the stomach and throat—relaxes and allows stomach acid to invade your throat, lung and mouth area, but they never tell you what causes this.
Because the medical industry depends on selling acid reflux sufferers their drugs to treat symptoms, they really don’t need to tell you what really causes acid reflux.
Explaining the mechanics of acid reflux is limiting medical treatment to the effects and never addressing the root cause.
For thousands of years, as long as civilization has been recorded, science has offered acid reflux sufferers the remedy for the underlying cause.
Simply remove the cause and the effects or symptoms vanish as if they never were.
Acid reflux symptoms turn into what the medical industry calls a disease, only because the real cause of the symptoms has been ignored and allowed to fester and complicate.
In fact, acid rebound is a man-made or should I say . . . a drug-made disease.
It’s well known that antacids like TUMS are gateway products for stronger medications that can lead you right down the path of degenerative diseases like hiatal-hernia, gastro-esophageal disease (GERD) and even throat cancer.
So remember . . . when you want to cure acid reflux follow the real science. If all you want is to treat the symptoms, then follow the money . . . it will lead you right to your pharmacist and maybe even the surgeon.
All great science is learned by observing nature . . .
