As someone who has only experienced acid reflux as a side effect of bariatric surgery I walked away very early from being prescribed nexium. However, I note that Vitamin B12 was prescribed. Nothing was explained to me about the reasons why I should expect acid reflux or how to manage it naturally.

As for the average patient, with little interest in their own research, it is easy to see how they spiral into chronic big pharma dependency.

It is THE hidden tragedy of western society.

Ignorance equals profit. There is no auditor of legal drug pushing.

My wife and I am now taking care of my mother in law who has moved in with us at 82 and have just looked at her meds.

She has chronic constipation, cognitive impairment, short term memory loss but no official dementia diagnosis (yet).

She is on Somac long term, Rosuzet composite pack for apparent hypercholesterolaemia and Apo-Sertraline SSRI (no idea why?)

This appears to be a text book case of exactly what you refer to in your article.

Any comments or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

We plan to get her medical records transferred to our trusted and awake GP and add the advice of an equally awake naturopath to change trajectory.

We see her in chronic pain taking mervachol and sleeping away her days because of it. This is no life but legal pharma torture from the profit takers.
