Doctors are the 2nd leading cause of death in the USA, and are just legal drug pushers. It has become a business and a very lucrative one at that. There are ways that you can actualy CURE what ails you, and not have to keep taking drugs. You are on the wrong diet path altogether and you need to put your diet right. Antacids only make the problem worse in the end and are extremely bad for your stomach, they give a quick relief but don't cure the problem. First of all you have to get your thinking and attitute right, and then change the way and what you are eating. Why I say you have to change your attitude and the way you are thinking,,is because ALL sickness begins in your mind and attitude. Stiff thinking translate into a stiff body over many years. Bitterness and jealousy translates into a cancer that is literally 'eating your body" (I am NOT saying this is your problem, I am pointing out how we get to the stage where we think we need to be medicated with drugs) Doctors are not taught the first causes of any sickness or how to treat them. For example....an anxious person is always thinking negatively and worrying, this tightens the stomach (unconsciously) and if this has been going on for a long time it causes problems with digestion. It also follows that anxiety and stress (which is coming from the mind) can lead to "comfort eating" and that usually means foods that are high in acid, this compounds the stomach problem. The human body needs to be more alkaline than acid to keep it in perfect health. So to get the stomach back to it's alkaline state, eat more of the alkaline foods. Google is a good way to find out which ones. Also stop worrying or being anxious, it solves nothing, get to a good meditation class or go to see a comedy at the pictures, anything to get the mind off what it is that is causing the anxiety. So now we come to the FIRST cause of the problem, (the acid reflux, heartburn) is the outcome of the problem, and antacids are only a band aid. The first cause of the problem is whatever it is that makes a person anxious, and once THAT is fixed, the heartburn and acid, tight stomach will disappear. You can apply this to ANY of your health problems. It is the same thing, find out what is causing your ailment, what are you continually thinking? are you angry, bitter, jealous, or in the habit of thinking negatively? and once you can pin that down and get THAT fixed, you won't need drugs. Then get your diet right, eat properly and sensibly, and don't abuse your stomach and body by putting the wrong fuel in and then expecting a drug to fix it. Sorry if I didn't write what you wanted to read, but I know that the path you are on is leading to dependence on the doctor who is making a very nice regular income from selling their drugs. Angel"
