When run-of-the-mill acid reflux becomes deadly
If you’re one of the 66 million people in the US with acid reflux, you know the misery it causes. This can go WAY beyond a 4-alarm fire in your chest and include chest pain, regurgitation, coughing, difficulty swallowing and sore throat.

The many ways heartburn drugs can kill you
Here we go again. The pharmaceutical industry has made yet ANOTHER “slip-up” that has potentially threatened the lives of millions of people using one of its toxic medications.

The FDA recently recalled ranitidine because it contains N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a human carcinogen, and the attorneys are lining up to file a tsunami of lawsuits on behalf of cancer sufferers. What makes this particularly frightening is that Zantac...

If you’ve got acid reflux, heartburn, GERD or whatever you want to call it, know this: Those Tums, purple pills or whatever you’re taking on a regular basis might give you some relief from the fire in your chest in the moment, but alas, there’s trouble brewing within.
