YOUR STOMACH is the first book by a major practioner, Dr. Jonathan Wright, to show why antacids and other medications are detrimental to long term health. The problem is not too much acid but too little. Though drug companies make huge profits on products that are not good for stomachs, they deny the actual science. He gives healthy responsible treatments and practitioners.
Most Americans suffer stomach problems to one degree or another--and many lead lives of utter misery. Whether you call it heartburn or acid reflux, this painful affliction is also
associated with throat cancer. Shockingly, the problem may not be too much stomach acid, but too little! Other maladies--like bloating, belching, constipation, indigestion, and even
thinning hair or breaking fingernails in women--may also be the result of too little acid. Antacids may actually be making the problem worse.
Drug companies currently sell over $20 billion worth of antacids a year, not including over-the-counter antacids. Two prescription antacids, Prilosec's174; and Nexium's174;, currently
have $6.55 billion in sales, accounting for almost a quarter of its manufacturer'ss total revenues. Worse, many of the Food and Drug Administration panelists who approve new prescription
antacids are actually hired by the drug companies themselves, and a substantial portion of the FDA'ss budget is paid for by those same drug manufacturers. This powerful little book offers
solid scientific information about one of the most common and distressing ailments in America. The text is backed up by a long list of scientific research articles. There is also
fascinating information about little known and used all-natural supplements.
This book has a remarkable thesis: that the current medical treatment for stomach problems is all wrong--is actually causing the problem rather than curing it. If so, this is one of the
largest medical blunders in history. It is a really sensational thesis, and if modern medicine is so completely wrong about the stomach, what else is it wrong about
