Speaker: Walter Crinnion. Over-the-counter sales of proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers for symptoms of indigestion and GERD are a multi-billion dollar business. Not only are these medications not addressing the cause of indigestion and GERD, they have been associated with some adverse health effects. These warnings are listed on the FDA web page, but beyond that are not mentioned. This talk reviews the severe health problems commonly associated with these medications, discusses how to reverse these situations and describes natural methods to treat the actual causes of intestinal discomfort.
