Oops -- More pesky side-effects: heartburn drugs cause fractures

Now here's a tough decision:  Which would you rather have?  Heartburn or a spinal fracture?  Pharmaceutical drugs = dangerous side effects.

1/2 tsp. of Bob's Red Mill Baking Soda (aluminum-free, which is not the case with Arm & Hammer) in a glass of water, taken once a day will cure heartburn for good.  It makes your body more alkaline (most people's bodies are acidic).  But it costs hardly anything, so the A.M.A. and Big Pharma don't want you to know about it.  They want you to take Prilosec or Nexium at a high cost for the drugs, and risk bone fractures.  Self education is important in our world today.
