Acid reflux. Sounds terrible, right? Where does this acid come from? Our stomachs, of course. The acid level in our stomach is critical to breaking down those foods we ingest, so that enzymes can get the nutrients from our food. And, if we ingest a pathogen or two, then the acid milieu makes toast of them. Of course, that same acid means that many of the pills we take to feel better or repair our physiological problems get destroyed, too.

Purple Pill Redux (or is that multiplied?)
Remember when I wrote about the deadly purple pill? Where I warned you that it often led to kidney failure? I mentioned also that affects (negatively) bone density and probably causes gut infections. Well, that last fact is becoming extremely obvious.

Taking that purple pill? Well… maybe it’s time to reconsider.
I admit it. I’ve never had a problem with acid reflux. Oh, sure, once or twice a year, when I was sick, it’s been a very short affliction. So, it’s easy for me to say stop. But, even if it’s not easy to say stop- I’m telling you STOP RIGHT NOW!
