Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 A study done recently found that certain drugs that suppress stomach acid production was associated with an increased risk of pneumonia. Gastric acid is important in protecting us against infectious microbes. When people block stomach acid production and knock out the system that our body uses to destroy pathogen bacteria from the stomach, the bacteria comes back up and makes their way down into the lungs, sometimes causing pneumonia. There is a healthy choice for heartburn and acid reflux - “Contain” creates a temporary gel barrier that keeps gastric contents from seeping into the esophagus. http://www.healthyfutures.net/bluegreensolutions/products/products/contain.php or http://tinyurl.com/h2al ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would you benefit from a more effective and healthy immune system?
