Intense burning sensation in the chest or neck Vomiting Trouble breathing or swallowing Sore throat Chronic cough Inconvenient? Yes.
Painful? Absolute.
But not deadly, right? Think again.
According to a recent study increased cases include cancer of the esophagus (esophageal adenocarcinoma) nearly 600% in the last few decades. Even more frightening, cancer of the esophagus is one of the deadliest cancers known to man- 4 out of 5 persons affected die within 5 years.
People in greatest danger are those with acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux condenser disease (GERD) or Barrett's esophagus. Additional risk factors include obesity, alcohol or nicotine use and a cost missing fruit and essential vitamins.
Perhaps the worst of all news, medicines manufactured to cure us ... not. The only cure the symptoms, and to a very high price. Doctors have discovered that taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) as Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, etc. not only treats the symptoms, it also increases the risk for other serious diseases, especially pneumonia.
The increased risk for pneumonia is considered to be how proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) work. Proton pump inhibitors suppress acid in the stomach that prevents it from increasing in the esophagus, but doctors believe that these PPI can also cause different types of bacteria to grow in the stomach and lungs, and these bacteria may be to blame for the increased risk for pneumonia.
If you are exposed to one of the millions of people suffer from the symptoms of acid reflux, GERD, or Barrett's esophagus, you need to lower your risk immediately. If you are overweight, or if you smoke or drink, act today in order to begin to lead a healthier lifestyle.
