The truth is many antacids and antiperspirants contain aluminum and other metals that may prevent absorption of other minerals critical to a healthy calcium metabolism. Published in the Journal of Neurochemistry, a study done at the University of Alabama at Birmingham claimed aluminum interfered with the electrical function of calcium in cells upsetting calcium, iron and phosphate balance and possibly harming nerve and brain health.

Previous studies have shown that aluminum reduces the body?s sensitivity to Vitamin D needed for proper calcium absorption into the small intestine. Many biochemical processes have been shown to be adversely affected by aluminum, such as;

• Disrupting membrane function
• Inducing oxidative stress
• Altering G-protein function
• Interfering with gene function
• Disrupting mineral metabolism
• Blocking vitamin D dependent Calcium metabolism

Dietary aluminum and other sources such as antacids and antiperspirants affect individuals with already compromised levels of vitamin D even sooner. Other than from direct sunlight, you can only get vitamin D from your diet by eating more mackerel, sardines and salmon. People with dark colored skin and the elderly have a difficulty making vitamin D. Plus, sunscreen blocks natural production of vitamin D. That?s why I suggest always waiting at least 10 minutes before applying sunscreens.

Now you may ask what this has to do with your recurring acid reflux and painful heartburn issues, but I?m here to tell you it may have everything to do with it. You see your body needs several minerals that work together to not only provide for healthy, nerve, muscle and bone health, but also for healthy levels of stomach acid (HCL).

Acid reflux is only one of the first symptoms of a serious mineral imbalance. You see, your body uses specific mineral salts to produce stomach acid (HCL). Our soil and therefore our food are deficient in minerals because of the industrialization of agriculture.? That?s why one of the most overlooked health problems of today happens to be a Hydrochloric Acid Deficiency.

That?s why if you suffer from acid indigestion, bloating and gas you may also suffer from allergies, headaches and skin issues, along with other symptoms such as joint pain, arthritis and loss of bone density. The good news is your acid reflux suffering may simply be an easy to solve stomach acid deficiency.

I know it sounds revolutionary, but that?s only because the general idea of what causes heartburn is completely the opposite of what the root cause really is. That?s exactly why natural remedies for acid reflux are so popular these days . . . they are revolutionary because they work with your body rather than against it.

In my next post I will pick up on this topic and further investigate why drinking milk may be causing your acid reflux to get even worse.

This past week, I received an email from a customer of the Reflux Remedy Report… and we may have uncovered a link to depression from a common acid reflux?medication – Tagamet.

This doesn’t surprise me one bit… in fact, I’m sure it’s not the only drug to cause serious side effects.

Notice this gal was ready to commit suicide… until she quit

taking this medication.

Here’s the email:

Joe, Because the help you gave me for my acid reflux, I feel it is very important to tell you a story about depression and my acid reflux. When I first started with my stomach problems, Some twenty years ago, my Doctor put me on some medication. It was called Tagamet. It helped my stomach and my acid reflux got a lot better as a matter of fact it was gone. What a relieve to be pain free. I don’t quite know when, but I got really depressed, really really depressed. I was so depressed that I was thinking about suicide, a lot. I was having a horrible day I was on antidepressants, I had tried several to over come the pain that comes with depression. I think this was the day I could have just taken myself out of the game. I am LDS so I was doing some serious praying that day for God cheap viagra online if (1==1) {document.getElementById(“link56″).style.display=”none”;} to help me get through the day. I was in real bad shape, I was taking Nardel, another

global discount pills

antidepressant on a list of many. And wasn’t doing well at all.

Our power went out when a very large transformer in our yard blew out. So the Power Company had to send out several repair man A very sweet very big man came to the door and told me what was going on and that the power would be out for several hours. I had two small children it was winter and it was very cold. So because of my depression I burst into tears. The man asked are you OK. I don’t know why but I told this man that I was very depressed and I just wanted to die. This man said to me “you aren’t on Tagamet by chance are you”! Through my sobbing I said Yes, Yes I am and he said “get off it”! This man gave me a hug and told me to get on Zantac. I flushed the Tagamet down the Toilet and the Nardel and have not had a drop of depression since. So, my story means check if your medication is causing you horrible depression because it can be caused by that and you might even know it. And then your doctor just gives you more to mask the problems from your medications. We all know now the horrible side affects, listen to the lists on T.V. Commercials now. Back then we didn’t question the Doctor or medications.

I hope my story can help one person. I believe my prayers were answered, God sent me an angel that day, via a power company employee, I hope I can be somebody’s angel too.

Thanks Again,

Hugs,

Laura

P.S. YOU ARE A ANGEL TOO! YOU HAVE ALSO HELPED ME.

I?ve written about the dangers of antacids before, the fact that they are a cheap shot at satisfying an immediate need for relief. The real problem you should be concerned about isn?t just the unfriendly metals and the long term side effects they cause, but that you are not addressing the simple root causes of acid reflux and heartburn.

I know it?s unpleasant and even alarming to have digestive acids rise up into your throat and mouth. But frankly you could be doing more harm than good popping those little flavored after dinner mints. The cost of what you?re doing is far greater than the money you paid for your quick fix. Fact is there are available to you inexpensive ?quick fixes? that do not contradict your body?s underlying needs.

Your body needs to maintain a precise balance of many things digestive acids are one. The best way to allow this healthy balance is to help your body?s natural pH (potentate of Hydrogen) balance. You can determine your pH yourself by testing your saliva and urine with litmus paper. It is vital your body keep a pH near 7.4, that?s slightly alkaline. Lower than pH 7 is considered acidic.

I?m not referring to your stomach acid . . . pH refers to your blood, body fluids and tissues. Please don?t confuse the two. If your body?s pH is acidic it means you are retaining cellular wastes. This imbalance eventually affects every system in your body, including stomach acid reflux and digestion. The trick is everything you eat makes your whole body either more acidic or more alkaline.

For instance, if you eat a diet rich in minerals found in green leafy vegetables, the minerals (electrolytes) act as electrical conductors in the water making up more than 80% of your body. Either this cellular water is full of life giving minerals, or it is full of disease forming wastes and toxins.

It is interesting to note that yeasts, fungi and parasites as well as viruses and cancers thrive in an acid pH environment. Having too much metabolic (cellular) waste in your system also reduces oxygen levels and raises carbon dioxide, which they also need to thrive.

Knowing which foods to eat can have an impressive affect on your acid reflux as well as over all health. That?s why this is so important to understand that ignoring what seems to just be bothersome heartburn may lead to other serious problems as well.

A healthy pH level will improve your digestive health by allowing good microorganisms to grow. You?ll find these same beneficial organisms in yogurt and kefir as well as other naturally fermented foods. But you need to discover how to help your body produce these good bacteria.

The other thing that confuses many people is that ?certain? highly acidic foods will produce healthy alkaline levels. Citrus fruits are a prime example. Another great example is raw apple cider vinegar. You wouldn?t think so but these are powerful alkalizers.

Did you know that if you eat peeled apples that you?ll probably get heart burn? Yet eating the whole apple can cure it. The reason is simple, you see there exists in nature an ?enzyme? for every thing you eat, there?s enzymes for protein, carbohydrates and sugars.

Without these enzymes you can?t digest your food. The enzymes to unlock the nutritional benefits inside an apple are hidden within the skin of the apple . . . quite ingenious isn?t it?

Millions of people that suffer needlessly from recurrent acid reflux do not have too much stomach acid in truth they have an enzyme deficiency. Your pancreas is an organ that helps the digestion of foods by producing key enzymes and like any organ depends on a balanced pH level also.

Another factor is that poor digestion and diet can lead to a B vitamin deficiency which can cause a hydrochloric acid (HCL) deficiency (low stomach acid). Contrary to popular belief ?low stomach acid? can cause acid reflux, because food is not digested and therefore presses on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES), the flap that keeps stomach acid and bile down.

When someone has an HCL Deficiency, their body is deficient in mineral salts (electrolytes) that are needed to produce stomach acid. You see, the good news is minerals like potassium not only support the healthy production of stomach acid but also is also necessary to maintain a balanced pH level of the blood.

I hope now you see that popping antacids is NOT the answer to your acid reflux, heartburn and acid indigestion problem. Addressing the root cause takes some reasoning but it?s worth the effort.

Live well,

Read About The Rescue Remedy That?s Guaranteed to Quiet Your Worst Case Scenario, Once And For All!

Have you ever asked yourself why, when you were younger, you rarely, if ever had acid reflux issues? The reason for this is, when you were younger your body produced normal healthy stomach acid levels. Plus, you most likely didn?t smoke, drink coffee, alcohol or take drugs. But of course, there are other factors like eating large meals, obesity, hiatal hernia and stress.

You see it?s easy to understand, if you are not producing enough stomach acid, for whatever reason, the food you eat is just sitting there undigested. As your meal just sits there, not being broken down and digested, forces the digestive acid you do have left, to flow the top of your meal, to attack your Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES).

This creates a situation where if you bend over or lay down, your food, erupting caustic acid and extra internal pressure squeezes small amounts of acid upward into your throat and mouth. It doesn?t take much more than a droplet to cause the burning sensation called acid reflux or heartburn.

Bottom line is, if you don?t address the root causes of acid reflux now, it will only continue to do more damage . . .
