Too much and too little of something spoils everything. Whether it’s in the food you eat, the medicines you take, or the indulgences you entertain, moderation is key to a safer, healthier life. Dr. Jockers discusses the dangers of prolonged intake of heartburn medications and the natural solutions that can help alleviate the pain instead.

He also tackles the major causes of why heartburn happens, the types of individuals who are more prone to suffer from it, and the specific activities you can incorporate in your daily activities to help improve your digestive environment.

“Medications have a time and place. Many of them have side effects and taking them long-term can be dangerous.”

The withdrawel from protonix was brutal, but after a few days… WOW! what a difference. Thank you for all you educate us about! Appreciated!! 🙂

  2. Thank you very match for your help to understand various health problemes.
    Your podcasts are very enlighting.
    Please kindly dedicate a few words about Esophagus Barret, if it is possible to be cured and how (in relation to your above writing)
    For the moment my doctor suggest me OMEPRAZOLE 20mg twice a day and an over the counter antiacid (Algoral protect) 15 minutes before go to bed at night.
    Thank you very match in advance.
    Nick
