Recent German Study Links Common Heartburn Drugs to Very Significant Increased Risk of Dementia.
The study links drugs like Prilosec, Nexium, and Prevacid to a 44% increased risk of dementia when regularly taken by those aged 75 or older. More research now needs to be done. This risk was even greater in diabetics.
These drugs are used by 15 million Americans.
Other studies have linked heartburn meds to cardiovascular, kidney disease, liver cancer, and risk of fractures.
One very important reason many people are on these medications is because they are using over the counter and prescription pain relievers like NSAIDs because they have daily pain.
These pain relievers can damage the stomach often leading people to taking heart burn medications for their new stomach symptoms.
This is another good reason to turn towards natural pain relief treatment options, like chiropractic.
Other people develop heart burn and similar symptoms from eating certain inflammatory foods regularly that cause stomach problems resulting in them taking the stomach medications.
Our body is so complex. One problem can often lead to others in a never ending chain.
