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 many ways heartburn drugs can kill you

  Here we go again. The pharmaceutical industry has made yet ANOTHER “slip-up” that has potentially threatened the lives of millions of people using one of its toxic medications. This time it’s ranitidine (aka Zantac). 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.
