My wife has an ongoing problem with “acid reflux disease” and has been on Nexium for a few years now. Besides being fiendishly expensive I really don’t like the idea of an ongoing dependency on pharmaceuticals of any kind.
I’d really like to hear your opinions, or an article if you will, on acid reflux and alternative therapies. I have heard of a couple, most noteably vinegar, but free advice from a doctor about free remedies that don’t include pharmaceuticals is quite a tall order. I hope you’re up to the challange, and if Nexium is the best answer, well so be it!
Glad to have come across your site and thank you for any help you can pass along!

Jason,
Thank you for your question. This is one I get on a regular basis in my office and I’m thrilled to make it my inaugural article for the web site! I appreciate you asking it and sincerelely hope my recommendations make a difference for your wife and help relieve you of the financial and potential health burdens of long term pharmaceutical dependency.
Go to the article regarding sensible therapies for acid reflux disease.

I had a partial tear on my hamstring about 5 weeks ago. I was wondering if this injury could affect the hip. I have a constant pain in my butt when I am sitting. not muscle pain. thanks
