A harmful trend that’s on the rise
As you can probably surmise, after being in the health field for several decades, I’ve pretty much seen and heard it all. But what troubles me is the fact that there are current trends in health that I am seeing, both in my own clients and in the literature that I review, that go from mildly disturbing to downright shocking.

Acid reflux? Heartburn? This is better than deadly drugs!
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid—are the gold standard treatment for a variety of digestive issues including acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers.
