1. Do consider all options to help with your ailments.
2. Don’t assume medications are without consequence.
I don’t get cable.
So I miss out on those fun lawyers, advertising to help those hurt by medications.
The one I saw this morning was for those indigestion sufferers who experienced kidney damage after taking proton pump inhibitors, like Nexium and Prilosec.
Your doctor took biochem.
You can’t mess with the proton pumps of the stomach without also messing with proton pumps of other organs – like your very important kidneys.
If your doctor is not going to inform you of the trade-off, then I beg you this:
Arm yourself with education.
Think before you consume.
You don’t have a Nexium deficiency.
You have options.
