Despite the name, heartburn has nothing to do with the
heart, besides having symptoms that, when severe, tend to resemble a heart
attack. The typical burning sensation in the chest and esophagus are caused by
irritation from stomach acid that's being slightly regurgitated. There is a
direct correlation between highly acidic foods and people's stomach's inability
to sufficiently process the acid. Since most Americans would rather die a slow,
miserable death than change what they eat regularly, Big Pharma has come up
with some popular "solutions"–ones that quell the burning sensation
of acid reflux while preventing the kidneys from filtering toxins properly. While
life-threatening waste materials accumulate in their body, they continue
consuming their favorite fried foods, processed baked goods, brownies, cookies,
soda, alcohol, spicy foods, dairy, and of course, meat. In fact, meat is one of
the hardest foods for the stomach to digest. http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/foods-that-cause-acid-reflux/
To these binge-eating folk's dismay, a new study shows alarming
news of up to a 50% increased risk of kidney complications (including chronic
kidney disease and acute renal failure) for people who take heartburn
medications regularly, including Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid.
The new study, published in <i>The Journal of the American
Medical Association</i> (JAMA) found the most commonly used heartburn
meds can damage arteries and lead to an increased risk of kidney failure, heart
attack, and even dementia. In other words, that heartburn you thought was a
heart attack, after taking your medications as recommended by your MD, can
actually turn into a real heart attack. Go figure. https://www.drugwatch.com/2016/06/03/prilosec-nexium-may-damage-arteries/
<h1>Shocking research suggests major long-term complications
incurred from typical heartburn medications</h1>Colleagues at the Houston
Methodist Research Institute discovered that endothelial cells that line the
walls of arteries looked like fried eggs because the heartburn medications had
created "garbage" build-up, causing artery cells to prematurely age. Plus,
vascular cells couldn't seem to divide or proliferate properly, making it
difficult for cells to repair the wounds occurring in blood vessels. So much
for preventing heart attacks and strokes. Heart medications, essentially, are
producing a coating that helps plaque stick to vessel walls like Velcro. Food
begins to stick to your insides, something the pharmaceutical industry must have
known about, but has obviously covered up for years.
Wondering where you bacteria-induced diarrhea is coming
from?
Got a high risk of fractures?
Suffering from low levels of magnesium?
Are your kidneys losing their ability to filter blood
properly?
Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid lower the amount of acid
produced by the stomach while coating your insides with "slow death."
Now, more than 15 million Americans are sucking down these heartburn medication
"proton pump inhibitors" (PPIs) with increasing doses and for way too
long. According to the research, as many as 70 percent of these prescriptions
have been dished out inappropriately. Wow! Still trust your MD?
In the new study, researchers compiled data from more than
25,000 people taking PPI prescriptions and more than 10,000 patients suffering
from hardening of the arteries. The PPI users in both groups were more likely
to suffer from high blood pressure, heart problems, obesity, and increased risk
of chronic kidney disease. Plus, those taking the drugs twice a day, rather
than once a day, doubled their risk of chronic kidney disease.
<h1>How do the heartburn medications damage the
kidneys?</h1>First of all, these pharma meds cause magnesium levels in
the body to decline. Lack of this important mineral over time causes bouts of
acute kidney inflammation, eventually inflicting permanent damage to the
kidneys. Doctor's so called solutions? Limit the time patients are on the drugs
and the amount they take. Using common sense, that just means putting off the
inevitable chronic kidney disease, dementia, and fractures. No wonder the
elderly in America
Is it a coincidence that 30 million Americans suffer kidney
disease, while 15 million Americans are taking heartburn medications? While the
kidneys suffer damage, excess fluids build up in the body, causing swelling,
nausea and vomiting. The human body deteriorates. You can't survive long
without proper functioning kidneys. People over 60 years of age are at higher
risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and acute renal failure.
Still wonder why? How long have they been eating acidic foods, then taking
their heartburn meds to quell the pain of "acid reflux?" Just what
the doctor ordered! It's time for some lifestyle changes people, and we don't
mean kidney transplants. https://consumer.healthday.com/gastrointestinal-information-15/heartburn-gerd-and-indigestion-news-369/ppis-and-kidney-disease-706877.html
<h1>Are you suffering from HMD – heartburn medication
disease?</h1>Every substance you put in your body eventually passes
through your kidneys. How many pharmaceutical meds do you take? Are you on
medications to quell the side effects of other medications. MD's love to juggle
meds–it makes them more money and keeps you as a customer for life (and a
shortened life at that). Did you know that heartburn medications are the most
commonly prescribed drugs in the world? The FDA, which is surprisingly corrupt,
warns that usage of PPIs for longer than a year leads to nutrient deficiencies
and bone density decreases that lead to fractures. You think they don't know
about acute renal failure and heart attacks too? Don't be naive. https://www.drugwatch.com/proton-pump-inhibitors/kidney-damage/
Magnesium is crucial to proper kidney function, and
heartburn medications severely depreciate this mineral. Wake up! Patients with
kidney disease were TWICE as likely to have used PPIs. Dialysis costs about
$30,000 per year and the average cost of a kidney transplant is a quarter of a
million dollars.
Solution? Cut out the fried foods, meat, dairy, and
processed sugar. Become a vegetarian or vegan, and consider supplementing with
natural remedies like holy basil and enzymes.
