[Alert] Heartburn Meds Are RUINING Your Health

If you’ve ever had heartburn, you already know how miserable it is.
The painful burning can make you terrified to eat just about anything.
And if that wasn’t bad enough… your mainstream doc will only offer you risky drugs – like Prevacid or Zantac.
But we all know that these drugs can up your risk for even more digestive troubles.
Now, it looks like they could put you on the fast track to another serious health issues, too.
Here’s what you need to know.
While it might seem like the right idea to take a drug that blocks stomach acid when you feel your throat burning after a meal… it’s actually a health nightmare.
Stopping stomach acid affects your digestive ability, your microbiome, your ability to absorb vitamins, and your health.
And now there’s more…
A new study found that seniors who use heartburn drugs are FIVE TIMES more likely to need allergy medicine as people who don’t take acid-blocking meds.
What is the connection?
To understand you need to know two things…
The first is that allergens (the things that cause allergies) are mostly proteins.
The second is that stomach acid does one specific thing: it breaks protein bonds.
So, if you want to digest proteins (and allergens) you need stomach acid.
This study is proof that blocking your stomach acid leads to other serious digestive issues.
You see, stomach acid is also the signal to the rest of your digestive process to get to work. And when you stop stomach acid, you are putting a halt to all digestion and, ultimately, the absorption of vitamins and the breakdown of proteins.
Fortunately, you don’t need drugs to stop heartburn.
You can reduce it by lowering your sugar intake, making sure your microbiome is in tip-top shape, and by taking digestive enzymes.
