Fire Down Below


I have great news for anyone who suffers from heartburn or acid reflux.

HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., recently sent me an eye-opening article from the Boston Globe Magazine with an overview of the marketing of the prescription heartburn drug, Prilosec. Here's a quote from the article:

"That drug stripped misery from the lives of millions and became the world's best-selling prescription drug - and the number one medication prescribed for seniors - taking in $6 billion a year. Prilosec is so good, and patients so attached to it, that doctors jokingly call it 'purple crack.' It's an expensive habit, about $4 for each daily pill, or $1,500 a year."

Believe me - that's just the tip of the Prilosec iceburg. I'll give you all the details on the Prilosec story in an upcoming e-Alert. Today, however, I have something far more practical. After reading the Globe article, Dr. Spreen sent me an e-mail, sharing the details of a natural therapy he's often recommended to successfully treat heartburn - a welcome alternative to Prilosec and other heartburn medications. Here's Dr. Spreen

Wow thats interesting. My foster baby 12mths old has severe acid reflux & he has been on meds since he was 4mths old. Acid Reflux is a nasty thing to have, but easy to control if you have the right meds.
