Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid—are the go-to treatment for a variety of digestive issues including acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers.  

With annual sales of over $10 billion, drug manufacturers certainly want to maintain that status and keep their cash cow producing revenue.   

PPIs “work” (and I mean that in the loosest sense of the word) by raising your stomach’s pH and shutting down its acid production.  With less acid in the stomach to shoot up in your throat, you feel relief from reflux and other digestive symptoms.

Few words in the English language conjure up as much dread as EXERCISE.
Alas, when the word exercise comes up, the excuses come out!
Many people claim to "not have the time." Yet they can tell you what happened on Criminal Minds or NCIS each week. The sad thing is, most excuse-makers also happen to be overweight, sick and medicated.

Although advances in medicine are being trumpeted every day, there’s not much to celebrate—because as a nation we’re getting sicker and sicker, and that includes our children! 

And one type of disease that has been growing exponentially over the last few decades and is affecting young and old alike is autoimmune diseases.

 

I spoke at the Trinity Health Conference in Chicago on Saturday, and one theme rang through loud and clear from the women who heard my talk and visited our booth… They are ALWAYS bloated and gassy! Naturally, they are desperate for answers! Who wants to live their life always looking 9 months pregnant and sneaking off to the bathroom to break wind 50 times a day?

There is a sneaky little culprit floating around in your blood that, when allowed to build up, can increase your risk of heart disease.
Unfortunately it’s also looking like this same little perpetrator has been linked to Alzheimer’s too.
I’m talking about homocysteine.
Here’s what you need to know about homocysteine, and how you can minimize your heart disease AND Alzheimer’s risk!

Sadly, more and more of what we’re eating is not real food at all—it’s “stuff.”  Highly processed, loaded with chemicals, with lists of ingredients you can’t even pronounce and a far cry from anything that has ever appeared in Nature.
