So in other words, you’re an oddball if you DON’T have stomach problems.  Among the most common complaints are heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux, burping and belching.  Now, it would seem logical to first look at what someone is eating (or drinking) as a possible underlying cause…  But when you’re talking about modern medicine, logic isn’t always prevalent.    Our docs are...

The FDA recently recalled ranitidine because it contains N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a human carcinogen, and the attorneys are lining up to file a tsunami of lawsuits on behalf of cancer sufferers.
