[BREAKING] Breast Cancer Treatment CAUSING Memory Loss!?

When you’re diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s hard to not to turn to mainstream treatments like chemotherapy.
But one of the many downsides of chemotherapy is the side effects.
And even though the mainstream will swear they just happen during the treatment… that’s NOT true.
Because a new study shows they continue LONG after.
In fact, one that’s considered perfectly safe is actually CAUSING memory loss.
The culprit?
Acid blockers.
Specifically, I’m talking about proton pump inhibitors or PPIs.
I’ve warned you about acid blockers before because your stomach needs acid in order to digest food.
Even worse, the side effects include destroying your healthy gut bacteria and increasing your risk of cancer.
But now there’s even MORE reason to avoid PPIs.
You see, if you go through these mainstream chemotherapy treatments, your digestion is going to be a mess, which is why your doc prescribes a PPI in the first place.
But little do those doctors know that those “harmless” pills are WIPING OUT breast cancer patients’ memory and ruining their concentration… long after the treatment is done.
A new study published in the Journal of Cancer Survivorship found that breast cancer survivors who’d undergone chemotherapy and took acid blockers had 20 to 29 percent more problems with memory and concentration.
You see, when your body produces stomach acid, it also produces something called intrinsic factor.
Intrinsic factor is necessary for the absorption of B vitamins, especially vitamin B12. And if you stop acid production… you stop intrinsic factor… which results in a huge B vitamin deficiency
And guess what vitamin your brain desperately needs, especially after going through chemotherapy?
That’s right, B vitamins are ESSENTIAL for cognitive function and memory.
So, if you want to keep your brain, stay away from acid blockers… and find a good B-complex vitamin at your local pharmacy or online.
And if you’re still struggling with heartburn, try a natural solution like deglycirrhyzinated licorice, also known as DGL licorice. One study found that DGL licorice can increase your stomach’s mucus production, helping balance out stomach acid. You can find it online at Amazon.
