- PPI heartburn drugs have been linked to a 16% higher risk of heart attacks and double the risk of dying from cardiovascular events, even in people with no history of heart disease
- Contrary to common belief, most reflux is caused by too little stomach acid, not too much, and PPIs worsen this problem by further suppressing acid production
- Long-term PPI use damages kidneys, weakens bones, impairs nutrient absorption and increases infection risk, as stomach acid is essential for pathogen defense
- If you’re using PPIs, taper off slowly and switch to famotidine (Pepcid), a safer option that not only avoids heart risks but also helps block excess serotonin that disrupts energy and drives inflammation
- Full recovery of stomach acid production and digestive function after long-term PPI use takes several months up to two years, requiring targeted nutritional support
