Stop taking antacids immediately

Here's a staggering statistic:

According to the American Pharmacists Association,
Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on over-the-
counter antacids.  Plus we spend another $13 billion on
prescription acid reducing drugs.

What makes it even more frightening is that antacids cause
a great deal more harm than good.  In fact, taking antacids
regularly is one of the most dangerous things you can do.

Here are two reasons why they are dangerous and why you
must stop taking them immediately:

========================
Reason #1: Antacids halt digestion
========================

The logic behind antacids is that people who are suffering
from heartburn, acid-reflux, GERD, etc. must be producing
too much stomach acid. 

So antacids work by neutralizing the acid in your stomach.

OK.  If you're in pain, that is true.

But your stomach NEEDS acid to digest proteins.  So if the
acid gets neutralized, your digestion stops.

Now, your stomach, sensing something's wrong, secretes
more acid to digest the food and get it moving... 

...and the antacid neutralizes it.  Digestion is stopped
again.

This can go on for hours and hours, this produce acid-
neutralize it-produce acid-neutralize it cycle....

...which destroys the nutrients in your food.

Without the nutrients from the food, you feel hungry
sooner.

So...you eat more, not because your stomach is empty, but
because your body has not been nourished properly.  So the
body tells the brain that it needs more food so it can get
more nutrients.

This is a primary reason so many people are overweight
today.

In addition to blowing up like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day
parade balloon, you get instant gas, bloating, cramping,
constipation and diarrhea.  (Check your antacid package--
you'll see those symptoms listed as side effects -- and now
you know why.)

And all that excess acid secreted by your stomach for all
those hours has to go somewhere...and that somewhere is
usually UP. 
  
So you're back where you started with acid rising into
your throat and your chest on fire.

Isn't that right?


========================================
Reason #2: Antacids upset your intestinal flora balance
========================================

Antacids are murder on the good bacteria (probiotics)in
your gut. 

Here's why:

Stomach acids do more than just break down food--they also
destroy dangerous microorganisms in your food that could
make you sick or even kill you.

But when your stomach acid is neutralized, it can't
destroy these dangerous microorganisms, so they get into
your intestines. 

And unless you've got a healthy army of good bacteria in
your gut (and few people do), you're going to get sick.

Diarrhea, intense stomach pain, vomiting, you-name-it.
Coming out both ends.

This leads to a weakened immune system, bad bacteria
growth and leaves you susceptible to every bug, virus or
infection around. 

AND you probably still have your heartburn, acid reflux,
etc.
