This book Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Maalox, Tagamet, Prilosec & Other Acid Blockers: What to Use to Relieve Acid Reflux, Heartburn, and Gastric Ailments
It examines the underlying causes of acid reflux and how acid blockers work and the their long-term impact to your health.
Truly a blessing! Now I finally understand why I have heartburn – it isn’t a deficiency of Prilosec that’s for sure. Had I known sooner, I could have solved the real problem and spared myself not only a lot of expense but also have avoided the side effects of the drug. Contains lots of helpful health and nutrition advice too. Easy read. Because it lists so many scientific studies, I’m giving this book to my doctor who was as frustrated as I was. – J. Kelly (Wylie, TX)
Martie Wittekin who is an experienced clincial nutritionist also highlights the most important natural alternatives – both those that provide immediate symptom relief and those that offer long-term relief in this book.
For example, you are advised to not to lie down for 2 to 3 hours after a meal. Excellent advice which helps to reduce the chance of having a painful episode of acid reflux symptoms and will further the tissue’s healing. Unfortuately, this advice does not address actually the root cause of your problem. But this book does explain to you clearly why.

Candida Questionaire
For example, in Chapter 3, it will investigate the shocking but very real possibility that the cause esophageal cancer as well as gastric cancer, may be the long term use of the acid-blocking drugs, rather than the GERD itself.
I personally find this book is a good read. It is different from the mainstream heartburn acid reflux book that you found on the shelf. This book equips you with better knowledge that you cannot find from your usual heartburn acid reflux books.
