Why Stomach Acid Is Good for You

Pages : 210

Book Description
This groundbreaking book unleashes a brilliant new plan for permanently curing heartburn by relieving the root cause of the problem: low stomach acid. The fact is that heartburn is caused by too little stomach acid -- not too much, as many doctors profess. As explained in this book, the current practice of reducing stomach acid may be a temporary fix, but this fix comes at a cost to our long-term health that is being ignored by the pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, and the thousands of physicians that prescribe anti-acid drugs like Prilosec, Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid, and others.

Book Description
Elevated cholesterol and C-reactive proteins are markers linked to heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular disorders. It is estimated that over 100 million Americans—more than a third of our population—suffer from these conditions. To combat these problems, modern science has created a group of drugs known as statins, available under such names as Lipitor, Zocor, and Pravachol. While over 20 million people take these medications, the fact is that up to 42 percent experience negative, often serious, side effects. Fortunately, other options are available. Here, for the first time, is a concise guide that explains the problems caused by statin drugs, and offers easy-to-follow strategies that will allow you to benefit from effective natural alternatives. Written by a highly qualified researcher and physician, Natural Alternatives to Lipitor, Zocor & Other Statin Drugs begins with a clear explanation of elevated cholesterol and C-reactive proteins. It then examines how statin drugs work to alleviate these problems, and discusses their possible side effects. Finally, the author highlights the most important natural alternatives, providing information on the science behind their claims, their proven effectiveness, and their suggested dosage. If you have elevated cholesterol and C-reactive proteins, or if you are currently using a statin drug, Natural Alternatives to Lipitor, Zocor & Other Statin Drugs can make a profound difference in the quality of your life.

Book Description
Are you tired of having heartburn yet again? Have you tried out every "cure" under the Sun to find yourself still having problems with acid reflux? Have you suffered with an "iffy" stomach, most of your adult life and with no apparent possibility for relief! Well you don't have to be! Acid reflux is either brushed off as a minor irritation (when in fact it can be a major irritation if you get it regularly), or it's labelled as a disease (GERD - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), when in reality acid reflux is a symptom caused by an unbalanced body! In this guidebook you will be given an overview as to how and what acid reflux is, followed by a variety of strategies which can both reduce symptoms and in some cases, over a period of time, a complete cure can take place. You shall read about how to eat the right way, so as to reduce stomach acid problems; breathing exercises to reduce the onset of acid reflux; helpful natural herbs and healthy supplements which will help and physical exercises, including hatha yoga and oriental energetic exercises. Take a quick look through this book and you can find some helpful strategies, which will help both to reduce the frequency and intensity of acid reflux events and if you get a little deeper into it, by observing yourself and making the appropriate long term changes that a cure will be possibly for many, or at least a great reduction in symptomology!

Heartburn Cured

Author: Norman Robillard, Ph.D.
Publisher: Self-health Publishing
ISBN: 9780976642503
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 148

Book Description
Did you know that you can stop acid reflux immediately and permanently without using any drugs? What if someone told you that fats, coffee, alcohol, spices and even smoking are not triggers for acid reflux and it had all been a big mistake? What if someone suggested that carbohydrates might be responsible for the huge increase in the rate of esophageal cancer? What if someone told you that GERD was not really a disease so much as our bodies way of coping with a diet we did not evolve with? Heartburn Cured makes a strong argument that the consumption of excess carbohydrates is the root cause and real trigger for acid reflux and the resulting complications like Barrett's and esophageal cancer. Have you ever wondered why most trigger foods are associated with carbs (sugar in coffee, sweet mixes in mixed drinks, pizza crust with tomato sauce topping)? This breakthrough diet book is written by a microbiologist who suffered from chronic heartburn for 20 years before getting fed up with uninformed GI medical doctors prescribing drugs that either did not work or were associated with serious side effects and health problems. In Heartburn Cured, the author explains the role of intestinal microorganisms in digestion and provides clear and easy to understand evidence that excess carbohydrates are converted to gas by gut microbes and the gas produced drives acid reflux (and likely IBS symptoms as well). Heartburn Cured delivers a death blow to heartburn and GERD by harnessing the glycemic index, tailoring controlled carbohydrate dieting to freeing people from GERD and heartburn as well as the PPIs, H2 blockers and even antacids.

African-American Healthy

Author: Richard W. Walker, Jr., MD
Publisher: Square One Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 0757053610
Category : Health & Fitness

Pages : 176

Book Description
Winner of the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Health Title It's no secret that African-Americans top the list of groups afflicted by hypertension, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, renal failure, and cancer. What the statistics do not show is the pain, misery, and despair that these conditions create, not only for the individual, but also for family and friends. As an African-American doctor, Dr. Richard Walker has studied these conditions among his patients for many years. Now, for the first time, Dr. Walker believes that research has found a commonsense way to prevent, reduce, and possibly eliminate these killers, turning the tide of African-American health. Dr. Walker begins by looking at the black community's lifestyle, which has radically changed over the centuries, shifting people from hours spent under a blazing sun to a life of minimum sunlight exposure. From there, it is clear that the missing puzzle piece of African-American health is a chronic lack of Vitamin D3. Most important, Dr. Walker explains how this crucial factor can be added to a daily routine along with components such as nutritional supplements, diet, and exercise. He then focuses on each major illness affecting the black community and explores what it is, what its symptoms are, and how the reader can avoid or treat the problem. A concise yet critical guide, African-American Healthy offers an important first step towards achieving a healthier, longer life for millions of people.
