Are Antacids Really Anti-Health?

We are all at the mercy of our own stomachs. From occasional discomfort to consistent pains that stem from our digestive systems, millions of people rely on prescription and over-the-counter antacids for relief from stomach issues. While many of us believe that these antacids are the key to managing our stomachs, Dr. Jonathan Wright’s new book, Your Stomach, provides a look into the highly profitable business of producing and selling antacids and questions whether or not these drugs are actually helping us.

Too much of anything can be harmful, so managing the antacids in our stomachs is a powerful tool for good health, but Dr. Wright’s research reveals that too little acid can produce equally negative effects. From acid reflux to indigestion and belching, Wright suggests that antacids may actually be the reason for your stomach ailments. Also, undeniable is the medical evidence that daily use of antacids will produce anemia as well and prohibit your body from absorbing any minerals.  Wright is a trusted voice in the medical world; with an undergraduate degree from Harvard and a medical degree from the University of Michigan, he has authored or co-authored 11 books and writes Nutrition and Healing, a monthly newsletter that discusses nutritional medicine and its benefits.

If Dr. Wright’s suspicions about antacids are true, why is there so little information available about their disadvantages? The answer is simple: drug companies rake in enormous profits from this sector of their business. Prescription antacids alone yield over $20 billion in sales. Before you take another prescription for antacids to the pharmacy, educate yourself with Dr. Wright’s expertise. It may mark the path toward a healthy and happy stomach.

Your Stomach is available from Praktikos Books.

It should also be mentioned that many hundreds or Transformational Health clients have reported no more acid reflux after implementing a detoxification protocol with the addition of probiotics daily.
