It's no wonder that stomach medications are the best-selling drugstore remedies today. Literally millions of Americans suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, and a host of other gastric ailments. The ads claim that these products can relieve pain quickly--even before it starts. What they don't tell you is that your pain indicates a distressed digestive tract. Yes, meds can cover up the symptoms, but they don't treat the cause of the problem. Worse yet, these drugs may allow a chronic condition to degenerate, and can even create their own dangerous side effects.

Written by an experienced clinical nutritionist, Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Prilosec, Tagamet, Zantac, Maalox, and Other Acid Blockers begins by examining how acid blockers work, and discusses possible long-range side effects. It then explains those underlying causes of the problem that can be corrected. Finally, the author highlights the most important natural alternatives--both those that provide immediate relief and those that offer long-term relief. Included are digestive aids, healing nutrients and herbs, important diet improvements, and lifestyle adjustments, all of which are both safe and effective. You'll find up-to-date information on the science behind these products, the products' proven effectiveness, and suggested use and dosage. And unlike the treatments you may be using, these natural remedies work by correcting the cause of these problems, and offer fringe benefits rather than side effects.

If you suffer from the pain of recurrent gastric upset, or if you are currently using an acid blocker, Natural Alternatives can make a profound difference in the quality of your life.
