Re: FDA finds cancer-causing chemical Zantac
this one ticked me off. I had been taking prevacid for years, when we moved the doc here refused to give me a prescription, you'll break a hip and blah blah blah. What am I going to do, I have a hiatal hernia and esophagitis from the acid. You can take OTC ranitidine, there isn't anything wrong with that. For 5 years now I have been putting this poison in my body, sometimes twice a day. It doesn't matter what I eat, the acid is my curse

I quit taking it about 2 months ago when reports started to surface, I take frankincense and use alka seltzer chews. Not the same, I still suffer with the acid, especially at night

If I come up with cancer I'm going to be so pissed, this is the only med I have taken (aside from an occasional antibiotic or steroid)

Have you tried kefir or kombucha? Maybe you have a problem with your good bacteria. Might try a probiotic. There is a thread about probiotics in her in the last few days. Maybe eat some fermented foods like sauerkraut.

I do all of those things (except kombucha), it doesn't matter what I do, it's just always there. BTW there are reports that kombucha is bad for you and your heart. I am considering the Amish cure at the gas station lol the guy at signal says they sell a ton of it and people swear by it

Re: FDA finds cancer-causing chemical Zantac
Small amounts of a cancer-causing chemical have been found in the popular heartburn medication Zantac, as well is in generic forms of the drug, known as Ranitidine. The FDA is not issuing a recall and says patients can continue taking the medication

Use some baking soda in a glass of water for heartburn. It also makes your body more alkaline and cancer can't exist in an alkaline environment.

Last year my doctor suggested I take prevacid (stress related acid issues, but that is another story). Anyway, my body completely rejected the stuff. I would take one, the intense nausea would kick in very quickly, and my body purged the stuff with extreme prejudice. Sometimes, our bodies know what they are doing.

Re: FDA finds cancer-causing chemical Zantac
Well, that really sucks. I had to stop taking Prilosec because of the leaching of calcium out of my bones. I stopped taking anti-acids due to the deposit of calcium into my arteries (how ironic that I get too much calcium in my arteries at exactly the same time I have calcium taken from my bones, where I need it). Now Ranitadine is bad. It was the only OTC left that actually worked. I guess I will have to watch my diet, and drink goat milk before bed.

I had no problems with the prevacid and it worked without help of anything else. Right now my body (or stomach acid) is trying to keep me awake and giving me a sore throat.

Baking Soda FTW.

$0.49 for a pound of it, completely non-toxic, works instantaneously.

Newer is not better.

Consider this. If big pharma came up with an expensive prescription pill alternative to drinking water that was made in China and carried a slight cancer risk, would you stop drinking water because the new pill was trendy and well-advertised?

People are nuts taking this when all they need to do is take a teaspoon of baking soda, mix it with 6oz water and drink it.

Not only that, but it works instantly.

Re: FDA finds cancer-causing chemical Zantac
It’s caused by the fucking sugar and white flour.

Had heartburn bad for over 20 years. Week or so after I stopped eating sugar and carbs no more heartburn. Also switched from beer to scotch!
Heartburn gone for 6 months!
Started eating that sugar shit again and shit came roaring back.

What doesn't cause cancer?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77933665


The blanket statement of "[blank] causes cancer" is bullshit.

Example: Tobacco causes cancer.

If something causes cancer then it will ALWAYS cause cancer (no exceptions).

If you know of someone who lived well into their 80s or 90s and smoked but they didnt have cancer then that blanket statement is false.

It's that way with everything the medical establishment tell us.

If you're overweight, losing a few lbs will likely stop heartburn.

Also, you need to stop it before it starts burning your esophagus, not after.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74357430


How does apple cider vinegar, which is a weak solution of
acetic acid, help reduce acid? I would think adding acid to
acid would not reduce acid. To neutralize an acid you need
a base; something alkaline.
DOOM is what you make of it.
