You might remember the July 3 newsletter in which I posted an article that mentioned that Prilosec will soon go OTC. Well soon is here and you can expect to see blockbuster ads for Prilosec for sale without a prescription this week despite a lawsuit contending that consumer products company Procter & Gamble Co. is falsely advertising the product.
If you or someone you know is taking Prilosec, you will want to let them know that there are real and simple drug-free solutions for most who are taking this expensive Band-Aid drug. What is the solution for heartburn? There are several key points to take home:
- Drink adequate amounts of clean water
- Follow the eating plan being careful to avoid sugar
- Use one to two cloves of raw fresh garlic per day to eradicate H. pylori, which is a factor for many with heartburn
- Use high-quality probiotics
