 "The general influence of DTC advertising is such that, when AstraZeneca began a massive media campaign for Nexium—"the purple pill"—for acid reflux disease, a psychiatric emergency room nurse told me that her department was flooded with calls from people who wanted to know how they could get this great new pill and what exactly it could do for them. Pharmacists say that in the days after a news story or a new DTC ad for a medication comes out they observe a massive increase in prescriptions for that medication."- Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "Acid Reflux Disease
Another common example of the shell game of misinformation deals with the symptoms of a condition that is promoted as acid reflux disease. It is usually associated with overproduction of stomach acid. Actually, more times than not, it is a symptom created by too little stomach acid, not too much. Here's how it works. The stomach is basically a pressure organ. It performs its basic functions in response to pressure. Like the adrenals' indifferent response to the nature of stress, the stomach also does not care about the source of stimulation."- Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.) |
 "Peppermint oil should not be used during pregnancy because it may cause the onset of menstruation, gallbladder disease (due to its activity in stimulating the production of bile), hiatus hernia, or acid reflux disease, because it relaxes the sphincter between the esophagus and stomach.
Other herbs: Depending on an individual's symptoms of IBS, there are many other plants that can be helpful. Those that improve digestion, dispel gas, or generally calm the intestines are useful. Examples are teas, tinctures, or capsules of caraway, fennel, and anise."- Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.) |
 "As I mentioned, years ago there was no such thing as acid reflux disease. On occasion, a very small percentage of people would develop a little "heartburn" or "indigestion." This was rare. This usually occurred when somebody was overindulging in rich food and alcohol. It usually was associated with people who were gorging themselves on food that they were normally not accustomed to eating. When this occurred they would develop a little "heartburn." It went away in a few hours, not to return so long as the person did not continue his gluttonous eating and drinking ways."- Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "As I mentioned earlier about acid reflux disease, most people today do not have enough enzymes in their diet. If you are overweight, have a sluggish digestive system, have a hard time losing weight, or feel bloated and gassy, there is an excellent chance that your body is not producing enough digestive enzymes to deal with the food that you are consuming." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "As I talked about earlier about acid reflux disease, most people don't have enough digestive enzymes in their stomach; therefore, the food goes into the stomach and sits and doesn't digest properly. Already a problem is occurring. Gas starts to develop; the food doesn't digest properly, starts getting stuck in the stomach, and starts moving through the rest of the small intestines and large intestines in a very slow manner. When the food isn't digested in the stomach first, it then cannot be digested in the small intestine and large intestine." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "First, let me point out that if you have excess heartburn or indigestion (today being known as "acid reflux disease") it is NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE EXCESS ACID, as you are being led to believe. If you have heartburn, indigestion, or an acid reflux problem, it is because you do not have enough acid in your system! The pharmaceutical companies knew this. This is how they created such an epidemic problem. First, they created drugs for pain and cholesterol that would be taken by people on a regular basis. These drugs lower the body's ability to produce acid in the digestive system." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) |
 "Now, one of the most common complaints with aging is shortness of breath; much of this is caused by
FACTOIP
Don't underestimate the power of treating seemingly trivial problems like sinus conditions, allergies, and acid reflux disease, which can all cause the symptom of shortness of breath. Treating them with over-the-counter medications can greatly improve your overall quality of breathing. changes in the elasticity of the lung (so it takes more effort to bring in air) and by physiological changes in your lungs that make breathing harder."- Mehmet C.

 "Cranberries' properties have also been shown to help reduce diarrhea.
PERIODONTAL DISEASE: In a study that appeared in the Journal of the American Dental Association, a component of cranberry juice was demonstrated to have the ability to stop bacteria from adhering to teeth and gums, thus reducing dental plaque and periodontal disease.

 "For example, the "acid reflux disease," which is not actually a disease at all, but just an easily resolvable condition, (and without the use of drugs)! The same applies to all the new psychiatric disorders, which have been conveniently "invented". And one study, from the Public Library of Science Medicine, confirms this, as follows:
Pharmaceutical companies are systematically creating diseases in order to sell more of their products, turning healthy people into patients and placing many at risk of harm, a special edition of a leading medical journal claims today."- Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) |
 "When eaten in one meal, these secretions neutralize one another, and the food remains mostly undigested. acid reflux disease and putrefaction may result.
The amount of stage A and D food eaten should small, while the stage B and C quantities should be more substantial. If desired, food items from stages B, C and D may be eaten together. The total amount of food at lunchtime should not exceed two cupped hands full.
Lunch does not always have to consist of all four stages."- Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Since their introduction a few decades ago, acid reflux disease experienced an enormous jump. This example shows once again that taking anti-inflammatory drugs versus dealing with the causes of the health condition, is not a solution at all, but leads instead to even bigger problems than those that existed before. Consider the anti-cancer drugs that cause cancer. Tamoxifen, for example, is a common drug prescribed to high-risk women to prevent breast cancer, and it is usually taken for five years. However, research conducted in Israel found that Tamoxifen can cause cancer instead." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) |
 "They somehow manage to turn symptoms into a disease with a label (i.e. "acid reflux disease"- often the result of poor dietary habits). Many people are then led to believe that their health, and possibly even their life, is somehow dependent upon these potentially dangerous and outrageously inflated drugs, or that they shouldn't have to live with the pain. The proponents deviously evaluate exactly what it might be worth to a person to somehow make a particular symptom such as pain go away."- Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "Natural Solutions For "Acid Reflux Disease" 1. Water and Celtic sea salt. Dr. Batmanghelidj recommends drinking a glass of water along with a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt approximately Vi hour before each meal, as this will greatly assist in the breakdown and digestion of the food. It also promotes a balanced pH level in your body, thus reducing acidity. 2. Digestive enzymes. During the main meal, especially if it consists mostly of cooked foods, a complete digestive enzyme should be beneficial." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "They are also effective in eliminating a condition in the small intestine known as leaky gut syndrome, as well as acid reflux disease. Both conditions make the digestion and assimilation of proteins less effective, (especially when antacids are used). These proteins are important for producing amino acids required for building both the important neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, and the enzymes critical for our sense of well being. One other beneficial influence that the mangosteen appears to have is on the thyroid gland. Dr." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "Improper food combining is discussed later in the chapter on "Acid Reflux Disease" (actually not really a disease). I probably should clarify something you might have wondered about. Cayenne cannot only eliminate blood clots, but also an aneurysm (internal hemorrhage) in the brain. Although they appear to be opposing conditions (clotting or lack of clotting), cayenne is basically multi-talented, and very adept at effectively resolving either condition." - Dr. David W.

Deep fried foods and other fast foods have become the popular choice of young people, aged 3-30. An ever-increasing number of them develop diabetes. Rape (Canola) oil also causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, irritability, brain cancer and blindness.

 "Think about the fact that there are cultures around the world where the people have never had cancer or heart disease, or acid reflux disease, or prostate problems, etc. Yet when these people start living a western lifestyle, amazing things begin to happen to their health. They get fat, they start getting sick, and they begin to develop all of the common diseases we hear about today. The question is: Why do human beings living a western lifestyle have more sickness and disease than other human beings around the globe? The answer is, no one knows!"- Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "Once upon a time, you used to get heartburn, now it's called acid reflux disease. Once upon a time people used to be shy, now it's classified as Social Anxiety Disorder, which is a disease. Kids who are eating too much sugar or are a little rambunctious are now classified as having attention deficit disorder, which is a disease. If a woman has a low sexual desire, it is now classified as a disease. An alcoholic is no longer an alcoholic; he now has the disease of alcoholism. A person who is overweight is no longer overweight they now have the disease of obesity." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "They clog up your digestive system, making it very difficult to digest food, which is one of the major causes of acid reflux disease, obesity, allergies, and constipation. And the scarring of the arteries causes the LDL cholesterol to attach itself to the artery, which is one of the major causes or arteriosclerosis, which is one of the major causes of heart disease. The bottom line is pasteurized and homogenized dairy products are unnatural; raw 100% organic dairy products are natural. Organic, raw, natural dairy products are natural.

 "Through the 1990s, TAP's two principal drugs were Lupron for prostate cancer and Prevacid for acid reflux disease. Lupron suppressed or eliminated production of testosterone, which promotes the growth of prostate cancer. Patients receive the injectable treatments for the rest of their lives. Because the drug is injected, Medicare paid physicians 80 percent of the average wholesale price of the drug."- Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.) |
 "But now heartburn is called "acid reflux disease" or "gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)" and marketed, along with the drugs to treat it, as a harbinger of serious esophageal disease—which it usually is not. As a result, in 2002, Prilosec was the third best selling drug in the world (Nexium had not yet had a chance to replace it), and its competitor Prevacid was seventh.
Similarly, most young women experience at least some premenstrual tension from time to time. Lilly's launch of Sarafem made premenstrual symptoms a disease—now called "premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)."- Marcia Angell, M.D., The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It (Get the book.) |
